mad about grpwork

*i decided to edit this, n take out some parts after leaving it here for awhile (so i guess it's a bonus if u read my blog everyday, cos u'd have had this small window of time to view it...haha) for very duh reasons.

ah....i wait for the day when they say, no more groupwork! but alas, that will never happen. everywhere, every point in ur life, u'll encounter groupwork. and shitty characters to boot....most of them.

as u can tell, i am currently pissed rite now. jus got back and found that whoever who's supposed to send me stuff to do totally bypassed me and sent it to the one above me. therein lies the problem. seriously, the person above me is really....unprofessional in that person's job conduct.

whatever lah. all i noe is, working in a group is...challenging. all i can do is pray and ask god to help me. how will he do it? either he'll change me or he'll change the ppl that i'm working with, as in change ppl internally. or maybe both. sigh....

last week god was testing me on being content with....not-so-good marks. it was relly trying...but i relly felt like he was challenging my statement, my conviction when i said that i was willing to leave everything behind for him. are you willing to leave behind good marks even though it's not because u slacked or didn't do ur work? i could hear Him say. it cud be that he is asking that of me now.

like that switchfoot song i heard below, "all that's in my head is in Your hands". jon (the songwriter) cudn't be more clearer. and yes, switchfoot was on repeat mode when i was in the bus today.

by SWITCHFOOT

It's a long way from
Miami to LA
It's a longer way from
yesterday
To where I am today

It's a long way from my
thoughts to what I'll say
It's a long, long way
from paradise
to where I am today

All that's in my head is in
Your hands

It's a long way from the
moon up to the sun
It's a longer road
ahead of me,
the road that I've begun

Stop to think of all the
time that I've lost
Start to think of all the
bridges that I've burned
that must be crossed

Over, over, over
Take me over

I've been poison
I've been rain
I've been fooled again

I've seen ashes
shine like chrome
Someday I'll see home

Home, home

I can see the stars from way down here
But I can't fall asleep behind the wheel

It's a long way from the
shadows in my cave
up to Your reality to
watch the sunlight
taking me over

Over, over
Taking over
Take me over

I've been poison
I've been rain
I've been fooled again

I've seen ashes
shine like chrome
Someday I'll see home

All that's in my head is in
Your hands
If it's in my head it's in
Your hands
If it's in my head it's in
Your hands

It's in Your hands....


note: "Home" here refers to heaven....yes, how my spirit groans to reach its destination sometimes, because we know we're all pilgrims here on earth. but if there's anything good i've learned thru pain, it's that at least my focus is on what is right and my thoughts, though thoughts of unhappiness (if that's even the right word for it...i was looking for the opposite of "happy"), are pure.
