Since I came back from the wedding, I've been tremendously joyous. Hmmm... probably because I've come to realize that there are more important things in life, especially those that involve a warm, human touch. Not my cold, heartless, intangible work which provide only a temporary refuge.
So, what has happened since then, that makes me sing for joy from the bottom of my heart?
Well, first of all, I have been blessed with the additional help of a new intern. She's bright and cheerful, smart, fast and precise. Many hands make light work. Since she joined, my I don't have to do copy and paste work anymore!.
Next, I've also been more patient with another intern of mine. I am gradually exposing her to different areas to gauge her interest, and mould her into a passionate, enthusiastic reservoir engineer. I see she loves numerical simulations, but she doesn't ask too many questions.
One day, by chance, she happened to be available on a Saturday, and I exposed her to Petrosains Operations. I hope it will be the starting point of her life, where she will truly, fall in love with the profession of a petroleum engineer. It is after all, far more meaningful to derive joy and to be passionate about our jobs, rather than treating it as a mere means of obtaining our daily wage.
Family life seems to be improving as well! Now, that is a relief indeed! Takes a tremendous load off my mind. Less domestic issues, more occasions that call for a celebration, such as career advancements, improved communication among family members, and travel opportunities.
One good thing always leads to another. Keep on holding to our faith and hopes. Everything will eventually turn out for the better. There is always light at the end of every tunnel; silver lining in every cloud; and a big, pot of gold at the end of a rainbow!
Ooops.. did I mention? Prayer helps too! It certainly calms our nerves and help us to think straight ahead!
