在动物园里何止左看右望?

8月19日,和家人再续久违的动物缘。
距离上次最后一次到动物园应该就是8岁那年妈妈和我跟幼稚园老师一起去的那次了。
这次果然是提升层次了,不只第一次到新加坡动物园,也因为看到很多第一次看到的动物。
真心感谢神赐下能和家人去动物园的祝福呢!

我们几姐妹最期待看到的当然是中国国宝啦!
当当当当!这就是雄性的熊猫叫凯凯哦!大太阳下,它慵懒地趴着。但其实牠和koala bear(树袋熊)一样是动物园里最好命的动物。为什么呢?
因为它们是在有冷气设备的室内,所以有个凉爽的环境。
凯凯有着“洋葱头”的花名,真是可爱!这就拜它天生的额头有着像洋葱头的毛发所赐。哈哈~

还有另一个雌性熊猫叫嘉嘉。因为嘉嘉天性害羞内向,所以她在另一边厢一直躲在它的安乐窝里,只能用CCTV看到模糊的她。呵呵~

感谢的眼睛

在7月尾也就是semester break要开始时就恳求神让我在假期中找到part-time job。
除了为了存一些零用钱,我更想在工作中学习、累积经验、提升层次。
我的人生导师——郑明析老师以着他的生活总是教导说:
去做才有所得。去做才会生下故事。

结果,祷告恳求了几天,就找到了这个5天的event job(8月11-15日),是一年一度很大型的ARCHIDEX。时间也符合我的要求。真心感谢神让我能找到这份工作。
这五天面对着数不完的文件资料,要去一些公司的摊位询问使用QR Scanner的feedback,在门口站一整天为1500人进行scanning 工作。

看起来像是重复又乏味的工作吧?但是从头到尾我都带着很感谢的内心。

神赐下很好的supervisor、工作组长、队员。
即使只是五天,在我们工作的“鸟巢”却充满了各种好笑的回忆。
一回想起还是不断想笑。很有趣的队友们~

果然在主日话语说过:感谢会生出更多感谢
感谢会让人想法的出发点转向正确的轨道。
人常说“有好的开始就有好的过程和结尾”嘛!
想法真是我们每个人根本的核心,是如此左右我们的一天、一生的命运的。
在队友们的身上,因着感谢,比起缺点,我更看见的是每个人的优点。
我很惊讶,神透过其中一个队友Carmen,在这五天里都可以看见我是一个什么都规划得有条有理的拘谨型。
“拘谨”这两个字在我脑中一直挥之不去到现在。
看来是神赐下强烈的感动让我好好思考自己这部分。
Carmen的个性跟我有很大不同。
她是比较爱动、不修边幅、喜欢刺激、要工作当然也要玩才行。
而我是一旦被赐予工作,就是想认真做好的人。

所以我很感谢的是,从她身上看见自己要调整的部分。
人生短短数十年,认真工作也不忘适当地玩乐是很好的。
让我想起郑老师说过:享受过程比起只要得到结果更为重要。这样在过程中也会获得事物。
这是一门智慧。
陷入工作往往让人费尽精神,会遇到瓶颈。

后来,我在实践的过程中发现“专注和陷入是两回事”。
差别在于:
陷入的结果是会让人衍生出很多疲累和埋怨的自我想法。
而专注的结果是让人事半功倍、缩短该完成的事物的时间,夹带着成就感
啊~真是有茅塞顿开的感觉!

而我们的supervisor心态很young。她让我们在工作时丝毫没感到压力。
在她身上看见的是耐心、总是带着令人心情放松的笑容。
还有队中年纪最小的Yi Wei妹妹,让我回想起中学刚毕业的那种青涩岁月。呵呵~
而我们读Architecture的队友Jean,虽然他有很多让我看不过眼的恶习,但是他画工很不错。就是他制造了很多好笑的回忆。
我们的队长Mohadi也是很幽默。他很会照顾大家。他还搞笑地对我们说:you all owe me ahh!

打开感谢的眼睛真是让人看见全新的事物。
总是不断感谢地来过每一天吧!^^

Discovery

Early in the morning, thank God for letting me wake up naturally at 7.15pm , which was impossible for me as I slept on 3am.

Finally my roomate and I have renewed our passport. :)

Today, my mind is free. really free as I have missed this kind of feeling long long time ago.
During school days, I was busy, hectic and having stress which sometimes I couldn't release out.


While waiting for our passport collection, we went around and searched for food to feed our hungry stomach.
We have found this "blue rice" (nasi kerabu).
Although I have heard about it before, I have never had a try.
So , we discovered something new to be our breakfast of today. Grateful.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Later in the afternoon, I attended for a work training.
There was 7 months long after last part-time job I worked.
Hence, the tense in me was raised instinctly.
During the nearly 3-hour training, I have really started to know about something new to me called "sales lead retrieval mobile app"(QR Scanner).
By giving full attention to the procedure and guideline, I get to know what it is like.
 I aim to discover something new throughout the following five-days part-time job though the task given seems easy and mundane.
The feeling is like when I understand something, I would like to know some more especially this thing is new and fresh to me.

As my life mentor's proverb of today 
"In the world, the discovery, development and change of environment are unlimited so are the human's self-discovery and change", the world is improving with fast pace. 
In the past, who will know what QR Scanner is? 
Now, this app has given convenient in term of client data record. I guess it has other functions which I have not known yet.

All the new things created on the Earth is like a reminder to myself.
"How about my self-discovery and change?"
This should be the question to ourselves every day we wake up from the bed.

So, thanks to my life teacher's Words for saving me whenever I have faced the blind spot.
When we have reached the top of the cliff,  God has never give up to everyone of us but has given us another path.
Thus, throw away our stubborn and anxiety to discover something new.
