Making the Leap of Faith
In the beginning of each month my office has this thing called the coordination meeting. No one can escape; every one has to attend it, even the janitor. Imagine having to sit and listen to all the burn out people talking for at least half of your working day, oohh… how tedious! I guess the only nice thing is the free lunch, hehe…
But the last coordination meeting was a bit fun, though. No, the meeting was still the same boring meeting, but we have an extra activity after it: exchanging Christmas gift to one another. We have to do it anonymously, and we should also give a note/poem/writing for the person who is going to receive our gift. I gave mine to one female friend, and I also wrote a poem for her. It’s funny how people thought that it was from somebody else because of the language that I used.
Anyway, I get a set of chopstick with a kind of small table cloth; I don’t know what it’s called. I think it must be a souvenir from Chiang Mai because it has all the elephants. But it’s the message from the person that I like the most. I don’t remember the exact words, but it was saying something about making the leap of faith. That I shouldn’t be worried too much about the small steps in climbing the stairs, instead, I should just make that big step in faith. Hmm…. Coincidence? I wonder.
Where to stay? What kind of activities will I be having? Can I handle living away from my family again? Oh, there are so many stairs to take that I’m uncertain about. Will it be steady enough to hold me?
Well, I guess it’s true that I should stop thinking about things and just make that leap of faith, believing that things will fall into place. So here I am, crossing my finger and hope for the best.

Like what we used to say, “You jump, I jump.”
