Called to be with the Lord


Today is my uncle's funeral and I'm still here at work.
Next week will be my last week here with Mindshare and still, I'm not fit to have their last kindness to go on leave for a day.

It kept me wonder. I was being positive yesterday but not today.
I project how the larger society would think and react by experiencing what I'm going through now. I believe the world will be a better place to live in if people were to have a little kindness and a good heart. This company is gifted with many talents, creative and fun people. It is filled with many so-call brainy top management people who manage the clients well but in some areas, they are just being heartless and ignorant to others' needs.

And to my uncle, may you rest in peace.

I am sorry to hear how unkind people are towards you. But that's us (perhaps for us to look at ourselves as well) when things are not going the way we want them. We are living in a more and more individualistic world and we should expect many "my way only" people.

I believe every funeral speaks to us. You may not be there at the funeral where the action is, but in thought, it is about us leaving what we have... just like you will be leaving KL. Soon, you have to say goodbye to what is hard to let go off but go you must. While leaving KL is just a minor departure, our leaving this earth will one day come. But before it come, you would prepare yourself as you are doing leaving KL and the "you" that you would be leaving behind. Your brother will feel it most than all of us because of the time you spent together. But still we hope to hold on to that image of Kat we know. And so, all in all, no matter what and how people want to be, you know what you want to be... that it will be a good leaving and happy pain. :)

Thanks FC. It is worth giving a thought about it. About leaving KL, I'm not sure how exactly I feel. I have no regrets leaving my work place but leaving the way how I lived in KL with brother & close friends around me made me hard to let go. It's the un-describe feelings that one will have, like you know the person is not at home, but you still feel the closeness of the person being there. Honestly, I still feel very much to being here. Maybe I'll felt it more on Monday morning.
