Misinterpretations :(

Wow, it's been agggeessss since I last posted a blog

It's been almost 4 years since I am back in Singapore, and in another 3 months time I will be heading back to where I call "second home" in Perth :)

Recently, I realised that my descriptive and explanation skills have been deteriorating. I can't seem to put across my ideas as well as I did last time.... or perhaps, it never got any better.

Instant messages and text, in my opinion, will never be able to replace actual conversation. You really cannot defer the tone of the message through text. The tone of the message absolutely changes the meaning of the speaker and the listener has a high chance of misinterpreting the message.

Why am I saying this?

Because I have been recently messaging an acquaintance through instant text and I somehow think that my message does not convey my intended meaning. Calling the person doesn't seem like a good idea either. What I can do is to wait for the next meeting and clarify all the misinterpretations face-to-face :(

Sigh, I really don't know what I am doing.

But I do know that God has plans that will prosper me and as long as I lean my trust unto him, I shouldn't be worried or anxious about any thing.

Amen!
