motivated

After the brief office related discussion with my dad today, somehow I could finally see things in a different perspective.

It is now that I have the time and capacity to help out in areas that he need. As a child who has received, and is still receiving countless bounties, I recognise it as being part of my responsibility to assist. But, there was the big hole that came with it. There was a flaw in the whole acknowledgment of responsibility. I, for the past two months, felt burdened.

but oh, how wrong i was to feel that way. It is today that i have the time. It is today that i have the know-how. It is today that they call for it. I am still here today. They are still here today. The knowledge that i have today is definitely not even close to perfect - and it will never be perfect, but it is not an everyday occasion that you get to repay your parents, in a particular way that you know they appreciate. What they have given us, what they are still giving us, we can never pay them back in full. but to be able to at least give back something, isn't it, in itself, is a blessing?

And the best part is i am getting paid to do all these. monetary compensation. more than what i actually deserve. and then nak complain lagi (well of course not the monetary part :p) burden lah, stress lah. ape lah.. aiseh... Itu belum account for the non-monetary compensation. Because your parents will always want the best for you. No matter what. All these i knew them as a fact, but i didn't put two and two together. The status on aalya's fb should really be copy-pasted here : Every second is a test. Its either the test of your patience or that of your gratitude. Wake up.

Today, I am thankful for the opportunity He has given me. I will make sure that this isnt going to be a lost cause.

Welcome year 2011. Welcome oh new year!
You came and a week has already passed,
but finally, i am ready to face you with a brave heart!! ^___^
