Peaceful Tumult

It has been a tumultuous week. I reckon the tension has been building for some time, pending for a day to unwrap. Having said that, God has been kind to me. My mood went up and down like a rollercoaster, or should i say swung from left to right like a pendulum.

Monday - i hit the roof in the morning when i reached office. What seemed to be a trivial issue would later envelope into a series of internal outbursts. My aloof self surfaced and it was darn obvious. 

Tuesday - Decided to join TPY Safra Running Club (FINALLY). Been putting it off for some time. After clocking some really bad timings for my halves and fulls, i set my heart on improving..not so much of pushing to a faster pace but to regain my previous "PB"s.

To my surprise, the TPY folks were really welcoming and "normal". Over dinner, 2 of them "jia1 cai4". They reminded me of Joseph & gang - indulged in oyster omelette & rojak after a good run. As with other group activities like trekking, running with them makes me feel alive :)

Wednesday - Visited Granny in the evening. What happened in the day was vague.

Thursday - The day started well cos i was in the same lift as Prince Charming. I have been asking God to not let my emotions be controlled by an irritant. Kept it down seemingly well but some servant has to spoil it. Her "accusation" led to another. I stormed off when the clock ticked 6pm.

The interval runs helped relieve some tension. I haven't done it in years. The rest were at least a minute faster than me but i do not care. I'm glad i am starting.

Friday - The "soreness" was disturbing..so much that i was not well enough to report for work. Online Lego shopping, sms-ing GL and the i/c indulgence with Irene helped.

Went to visit Granny and she is better today. Joking with the nurses and she recognizes me now! Oh! Coincidentally, i saw Felix whose Grandmother is next to mine. Granny shook Felix's hand and say hi. That was so amusing. When i was about to leave, she told me "guai guai de zuo gong" in Cantonese. Irene said God must have spoken to her. Before that, she was speaking incoherently but told me to be at peace with my sister.

Strangely but surely, Granny seems happier not remembering much. At least she smiles more and we are smiling too. May Lord lift up His countenance on us and give us peace. Amen!
