Work and Volunteering

Times are getting busy.

Different obligations are entering life.

Priorities are changing.

Girlfriend, work..



There is little time and energy left for volunteering works.

Mentoring have been left aside for some time, Kidsread at JRL cannot be attended so frequently. The worry is about the future commitments to these.



Next Saturday is the ultimate convergence of these obligations. Things to do in school, cooking competition at mentoring, PPCDL practical test, prayers to my late uncle. All happening at the same time. Which to go?



The things that are happening recently are putting stress on me-work, finances, relationship. On various levels, this is roiling times. The feeling is not to succumb to but to tackle one at a time and hope for the best- which is not an ideal reaction. There's a feel that I've dwelled within my comfort zone for too long, so much so that I'm having trouble dislodging myself from it. And all the difficulties now is a reminder from the Angels to search for my quest.



Volunteering has become a part of my life. Though my passion is not on people, but my heart is with trying to better life. So how I further my volunteering cause is important to me. It brings me back to the realism of life and inspiration.



Work needs to find a tune. It's easing, but there is a level of optimality that oils the machinery. That lubrication is not yet present.



The crux is therefore, with disequilibium in other aspects of life, volunteering cannot be pursued as wished. And this is troubling, especially with the the future of the programmes uncertain.

I admire people who have managed to balance everything and still be able to have enough sleep. I don't like the need to adjust to this kind of tight schedule. I don't think life should be that way. And so, my view towards people described above is mixed - admire and despise. Hahah. Perhaps I'm still too self -centered and not able to give more of myself yet. But shouldn't the premise of life be on ease? I suppose this is a cultural issue!

Finally, I will try my best for volunteering works I do. Just let this period pass on its own. I'm not forgetting on my self-improvement. On and on, my life still have to be at ease.
