Chillax Day One - stuck on train

We've been stuck under the city loop for over 20 minutes now. The train cut its power and left just a few lights on inside the carriages. People are starting to move around on their seats. Only the two South Asian-looking ladies conversed; the rest of us kept quiet. It is a work day for me. I guess people on this train were also going to work, going as individuals.

Hence we did not talk to one another.

The man behind me started coughing. I could sense the increasing noise level as a sign of restlessness.

Just three days ago my husband and I were stuck inside a powerless lift for 40 minutes. I had to call triple zero emergency line twice to make sure someone was going to rescue us. And they did. A fire brigade and some police officers.

I'm keeping my cool still. Even now. I've texted my manager saying I'd be late for work. Tough I'm not 100% sure if my message was even sent. Signal is bad under the loop.

After 30 minutes...
More people started to talk to one another. They were complaining about the train situations shortly before chatting about their Christmas activities.

It's amazing how these people stay calm and patient while being locked underground for over half an hour!

What's going on out there?
When are we going to get any further updates?

What's God trying to show me these days...

This morning I saw the news on TV. An AirAsia plane has gone missing. That's the third Malaysian air plane disaster this year!

40 minutes...
The lights are back on and the train is back on track.
Thank God!
The train conductor thanked everyone for their patience.
Looks like the power went down.

The Chillax Project

One late afternoon, as I was going home from work, I was thinking of something which led to a realisation: I tend to mostly  complain when I am with my husband.
And that: this is a result of me being easily worried about little things each day of my life.

Based on a lesson-full movie I recently watched (also a recall failure), when you are focused on things that you think may go wrong, you've really missed out on the bright side of your day. You mentally ignore the enjoyment; the opportunity to be happy; the chance to make people laugh! And so on...

You forget to be grateful to God.

And that's going to be my NEXT PROJECT: Be chilled. Be relaxed. Keep Calm. Let it go. Let it flow.

The Chillax Project

Tomorrow will be the last day of work before we get a four-day off! We are planning to leave for a Sydney road trip that night, God's Willing.
With any road trip, you'd be stuck with the same people in the car, for a long time.
So this is a GREAT opportunity for me to stay calm. Stay chill. Stay relaxed. Stay happy.

And this is my plan for the next 40 days.
Yes.
FOURTY DAYS.
Because they say you'll establish a new habbit after continuously doing certain behaviour for 40 days.

This could be my new year resolution!

I get the feeling that my days would be much more wonderful!

Keep positive.
In the name of God, my Lord of Mercy.
