Lost Job

I guess I must be thankful that I have a job ...but still I thought it could have been better.
A close friend of mine, and a relative have 'lost their jobs' recently... thou I know they will be able to pull through (cos they would have ample savings to see them thru, cos they are the frugal type) as their spouse are still gainfully employed, the thought of being without a job seems frightening. Sometimes, I wonder if it is wrong/sinful (at such times) to be dreaming of looking for a greener pasture as opposed to being contented to love the job which I am doing. Sometimes, the more education we receive, the more far-fetched are our dreams/ideals...so much so that we ignore the practicality of it all. Again, since we are educated, why can't we pursue our dreams? or the timing is not right? The thought goes on .....
Being someone who believes in fate, I guess I will wait and see, while trying. If things work out, fine, else, I guess, it may be destined that I am here to stay ...for a long time.
FS has said that one (or one's heart) has to be happy, then, wealth/luck will come.

VDay

Valentine's Day is no longer celebrated, now that I am already married for more than 9 years (ROM Sep 1999-Feb 2009). While I know many married couples are still celebrating this ocassion, I am not ... or rather my wife is not that particular about it too....to her, a happy VDay will be one where I dun 'reprimand' her so much (I can be quite fierce at home, with her)...haha. Anyway, I bought her a piece/slice of Angie's chocolate lover cake on Fri nite - the same type that I bought when our boy was born in 2002....and the price has gone up by 30 cents...haha. She is happy with it, I think. As she prefers a cheese cake, I got her a Gelare' Oreo Cheese cake yesterday. And we spend the day, with my 2 kids at my niece's 2-year old mini-birthday celebration.
I am thankful that my wife didn't ask me for big diamonds, expensive purses/bags or glame shoes/clothes. And that's what a spouse is for - knowing the limits of the hubby and living within the means, being thru good and bad times. Likewise, I didn't receive anything from her either, and that has been so ...for years.

Ex-

Time flies, another week has passed...every day passes so soon and I can feel the work piling... wish I can be less interrupted so that I could be more focussed and get what I need to do out quickly...but sadly in a school environment, there are just so much unexpected surprises. I just realised that I am not a 'suprise' person nor a leader, I am but just a simple follower or a specialist...
Yest, I went back to my ex-workplace to visit my ex-colleagues after a meeting...the feeling is sort of different now...place have changed, people have changed, conversations are restricted...I guess everyone of us moves on in life ...
