The hills are alive....
I just finished watching The Sound of Music while i was doing my work. It is such an amazing movie. It was rekindled when i was at Sharon's farewell party last saturday. It was such a nice little gathering. We had an early Christmas theme. and since purple was Sharon's favourite colour. it was a Purple Christmas. Most of the members even turned up in pirple tops. I looked thru my entire wardrobe and realised i did not own a single purple item. how amazing. so i wore my purple tip toe soz.. at least an effort was made. so a few of us trooped down to Kor's place to finish up on the book. and when we left to go over to Sharon's place, i was tasked to photocopy some song sheets at Queensway shopping centre. the moment i walked in, i was greeted by the back of a VERY nice pastal purple tee... and so i bought it...
the party was nice and delightful. we had a little carolling session and we did the blessing song on Sharon and she cried.. so moving. she is such a joy to be around, she is so sweet. as we drank and ate. we also song songs from the sound of music, the phantom and miss saigon. it was a wonderful night if music.
today i was just offered a chance to make a certain change to my life. as of this moment, i am actually in limbo in my job. there is no way that i can advance my education as my study leave has been denied. the only other way is for me to leave the service and study on my own. do i dare? i am scared of the unknown. what if i do not make it? do i really dare to risk it? what if i am not up to it? i mean it is a very good prospect. i will earn more than what i am getting now and also have time to do more with my life. with the hours that i am being paid for, i will actually have time to pursue a degree even, part time i mean. i will need to leave my comfort zone. my colleague was asking me 'what comfort zone?' when i voiced out my options. there is backstabbing and a lot of toxic here.
i think i am becoming the frog in the well... too comfortable in my surrounding that i do not want to uproot myself. i planted myself where i am. do i dare to take the plunge. and the person offering the chance to leave my comfort zone has been so supportive. this is not the first time such opportunities is opened to me. i just need to take the step forward.
