Rushing God


As I sit in the waiting room at the airport, sulking over the delay which will decrease my shopping time in the Changi Airport, I realize that sometimes we have to wait a little more to get to our destination. I guess that it brings me to understanding that often I get too impatient to get to where I want to be. The thing is, I actually realized that the one hour delay could be a good thing. I had time to call my parents and friends and I also had time to write this piece of thoughts using my laptop which I wanted to put inside my suitcase because it is kind of heavy and annoying to bring a laptop, a big shoulder bag and a small suitcase around.

However, It means that I can efficiently use my time in the Changi airport. I wouldn’t have to wait for four hours and I think that 2.5 hours is enough for me to shop without getting bored and restless. That also means that I can have coffee money, which I planned to do if I would have had nothing better to do. The problem is.. I want to go to the toilet.... I hope I can hold it until I arrive in singapore because I don’t like the plane’s toilet. It is a bit disgusting because there is usually spillage of i-dunno-what-that-disgusting-looking-liquid-is.

It is funny how you can learn about new things as yougo along your everyday life.. wondering and pondering over life purpose as you sit here and wait for something to happen. Waiting without nothing to do is boring and frustrating. I hate having nothing to do.. And if I don’t bring a book with me, I usually start sms-ing my friends and if all else fails, I’ll play with my nails and chip my cuticle.. People call it hyper activeness.I call it keeping active hahahahaaha….

I realize suddenly that sometimes I often rush and impatient do achieve my goals. To my destination ofwhat I want to be. But God, who knows everything that will happen, keeps me in His own timing. His own perfect timing and I guess that I must learn to wait in God faithfully and go with His time instead ofmine, to prevent wasting time like now.. It is true what they say.. Humans make plans, God decides… I don’t know what is going to happen later on, but I guess that I might as well enjoy my ride and be patient in the processes. I need a lot of patience because I have many years to live for, therefore, I guess that at times like this, when I am unsure about my future and have to wait to find out about it…. I will treat it as a small practice of more waiting moments later on in my life… Do you agree?
