How to Waste Life...

*drumroll...*

One of the best ways to waste time is what I just spent 2.5 hours of my life on this morning... Attending a "work-related" presentation! It was to be presented by TCM and when I asked, I was told that the presentation (training for the newbies) was a brief overview (of one of the tasks that I'm already involved in) and supposedly some updates are being presented as well. Hence, it may be beneficial to sit in... I wouldn't even call it investing my time, really, although partially the reason I spent the time that I didn't have was because it was supposed to have some updates which were "work-related"...

Frustratingly, I found out later that the presentation included the history and anecdotes of "Life as TCM" and there weren't any updates that I wasn't already aware of... I just wasted away 2.5 hours of my life, which would've amounted to more had I not left a bit earlier to look for HOD. Sadly, HOD was nowhere to be found... And, for obvious reasons, I did not return to the meeting room for the rest of the presentation... On top of that, along the course of the presentation, TCM also seemed to have hinted for more tasks to be added on to my already back-breaking workload... How not to be frustrated?!!

Now, I've got 2.5 hours less to work on the priority task I've been rushing... Just got back from lunch and a bit of shopping, but still frus... grrr... Okay, better get back to work liao lar... Totally ditched another presentation that has just started cos I'd need to work on that priority case...

Sooo need to de-stress... Anyone got any good de-stressing tips???

I'm Yours...

I've heard this song many times before, but today the lyrics just pierced my heart... I could sense God gently reminding me that I am His... Although undeserving, yet He still loves me as His own...

I just wanna say THANK YOU for loving me, just as I am... That You would care enough to feel my hurt, choose to light the way, call me through the rain and watch me rise again... I am but a flower quickly fading... and ever thankful, Lord... =)

I hope this song will bless you too...

Who Am I - Casting Crowns
Who am I?
That the Lord of all the earth,
Would care to know my name,
Would care to feel my hurt.

Who am I?
That the bright and morning star,
Would choose to light the way,
For my ever wandering heart.

Bridge:
Not because of who I am,
But because of what you've done.
Not because of what I've done,
But because of who you are.

Chorus:
I am a flower quickly fading,
Here today and gone tomorrow,
A wave tossed in the ocean,
A vapor in the wind.
Still you hear me when I'm calling,
Lord, you catch me when I'm falling,
And you've told me who I am.
I am yours.
I am yours.

Who am I?
That the eyes that see my sin
Would look on me with love
And watch me rise again.

Who am I?
That the voice that calmed the sea,
Would call out through the rain,
And calm the storm in me.

Bridge
Chorus
Bridge
Chorus
I am Yours.

Whom shall I fear?
Whom shall I fear?
'Cause I am Yours.
I am Yours.
