Just bathed. Just finished eating my Dinner... yeah.. .dinner. at 11:40pm.

Took a cab home from work. Overtime work today.

Hopefully I can claim my cab fare. Or else,...


Oh ya.. the cab driver (or cabbie.. that's wht he called himself) entertained me throughout my journey home. He started talking about life and all... and at first I was really not in the mood in talking.. I mean... who would bother talking to anyone at all when you are tired from work and just left office at 1055pm. But his tone and mood and enthusiasm captured my attention. He is really a friendly guy, a Malay, probably married with a few kids... I believe he is working another job outside... maybe doing cab-driving to supplement his income. He is one happy-go-lucky guy, and that was what I was amazed. I thought that the only words a cabbie driving at 11pm will probably be "Where are you going?" and "$11.40, sir." But no, he was excited to converse and socialise.

Many of us Christians, myself included, are so dead. We go through life as if it is an endless routine. When we approach the presence of God, we don't get excited to serve God, and to engage Him. We sulk at everything we do, as if the whole world owes you a living. We don't get "happy-go-lucky" over life, and we are not friendly toward the people we serve. We are not anticipating about life.

That cabbie taught me a lesson. A small but important one: stay excited... about your life. =D
