5 - now 4 days to go

It has to be the worst day yet after my Gate 1.
Wow I do not know how things could go worse -- the VPs stepping in having ridiculous requests and wasting my time to generate meaningless reports. Argument over the phone resulting in dead air and it was my call so I had to wrap it up. New policies that I am not interested in but as a Project Manager I needed to draw the core group together to see if we should roll that out. And the list goes on. Interestingly though, the later it was the day, the lighter my heart became. I no longer felt the frustration but that I had only to finish my tasks. God is my ultimate boss and He knows what I am doing. Mistakes had been made and I carried out the corrective actions.
Arriving home around midnight, my mom expressed her excitement by chatting with me (one way, as usual) for like 30 minutes while I was eating, and from time to time keep bumping into my room while I was doing one last piece of work. My patience was almost tested to the limit :P

I managed to find Mr. Lam and he promised he will make arrangements for the flowers. What a great guy!

I forced myself to finish today's settingcaptivesfree exercise as I believe that it is moments like this that I have to carry on and show my discipline. Though the course is at its 14th day since I deferred two lessons this is already my official 16th day, not to mention that I behaved well a few days prior to that. I heard though that the toughest days are from the 15th to 30th. We shall see! I should sleep now, as I am meeting Chris tomorrow at 9 am.

Only managed to call you for 10 seconds. I guess I should give you a short email or SMS to not make you worry.

Love,
Andrew
