“Be careful of people”, they all said.
But really, they are the ones I have to be careful of.

Ok, I don’t really know, but all I know is that we should not be judgemental of people. Sometimes, all we can do is to play by ear. We don’t really need to be involved in everything, just do what you need to and the day will be gone before you know it. The thing about work culture here in Singapore is that people expect you to do work for them and there is no room for mistakes. If I can’t be happy at my workplace, shouldn’t I be looking somewhere else? Just like the search for a spouse, I find the search for a career just as hard. Maybe it’s because our human nature is to constantly search for more. It really depends on our level of needs too. I believe that we can achieve contentment when we can accept what has been handed to us. Trust me, even as I’m aware, I am constantly in a state of confusion. This uncertainty with the future has a way of getting to me at times.

In times like these, you know that He is knocking on your heart because I know that He is the only One I can turn to. I hope I don’t end up becoming cynical about human behaviour. After all, I’m not an expert neither am I intuitive in these kinds of things. I wouldn’t say I am really obtuse. My way is to really just observe how people usually are and then decide if I should get near at all. Or rather, open up to just anyone and if they choose to betray you, it’s really not your loss. After all, in any human relationships, there needs to be love and trust. Even if you are flawed in the way you treat others, as long as you know that your intentions is to not hurt others, you’ll be all right. He knows best. May Allah swt keep us under His blessed protection always.

For all I know, you are slowly opening up to me.
I hope it would not be in vain.
