Pilate-- Killing me!!!
Yesterday slept at 1am and today have to force myself to wake up at 7am to go church service... yawning** Was almost dozing off during sermon time.... Sat with C.... met with her n her parents when they board the bus ard tpy area near her place.... had a good catch up with her. met AH also at the earlier svc since she always go for the 11am svc, also saw VnAn little vic at the fellowship hall... tot that they were the 11am svc pp... hmmm... after attending 845am svc, i was been drawn to the fact that though it's a traditional svc moving to more contemporary svc alike, i find myself able to concentrate better and no more of stomach rambling for food when it's time for lunch.... plus i have time to go to Amore classes/gym during the free periods though i try not... since today my sis's first time... so accompany her to pilate class...
Oh, yesterday had a long day of cycling, a bit of shopping, and birthday celebration for Leticia together with the Nav-Spies basic... it's was indeed long time since i last saw L, Inky too... Sihui was ages ago... the rest are all unfamilar faces... with some from ex-navspies n students... we played playstation's dance revolution... Wow, from ECP, i headed my way to Boon Lay, i nearly fainted... super long journey... with some bus directionals helps, i managed to get to Inky's place ard 5pm... but only bd gal n a bro was there, so we end up playing playstation. After a while, pp start pouring in... and 6 plus, we started on our simple bd celebration with our DIY sushi, and salad... no bd cake too...
Actually, we planned to watch Lake House at Jurong point or durian feast but since all quite full, so durian was dumped out... after dilly dally, they decided not to watch movie and 1 by 1 left for home... Finally able to sit down and chat with the bd gal, it's been a long time since we last catch up... it's really to see her pursuing God's Will and she knows where she's heading to... Oh, i also update her with the latest Hope Updates.... Yeah, I do treasured the friendships that God has blessed me during Poly days... though with ups and down... but i didnt put that into actions only. she was with me during one of my darkest days, and the encouragements she had poured out... though she may not able to see it... but still i wanna blog it... how thankful i'm... hehe...
Oh, we had mahjong sesson..... and it's really long time since i touch mahjong tiles since CNY when i played with my parents... Inky and i took turns to play since we got 5 pp... but it's really fun... even we played until quite late into the night... they continued playing when i left Inky's place at abt 11.35am and reached home at 12.45am... so tired i slept in my 45min ride home.
Hmmm, as usual, i almost won all the sets when i played, though win is small as compared to the bd gal... i dun mean we gambled I(using "fake" chips), also lost some sets too.. but playing mahjong really fun. guess playing mahjong can be my pastime if i can find enuff "legs"... okay pp lah..
Wow, today's Pilate class can really kill me... Oh, my abs are aching... and all my body are breaking into pieces... the last time i went was nothin compared to todays... forcing me to use my abs... to the max... and realised how weak my abs are... going to practise everyday at home... dun wanna become a laughing stock in class, see the pp can use their abs to pull themselves up and i struggled and struggled like siao zha bo... aiyah!!! but it's really helps in strengthening n firming up my abs... =) wow, cannot imgaine if i practise everyday, i'm gg to have a slimmer tummy... hehe... tot pilate was easy but after today's lessons, i dun think so... my sis gave up liao... haha... but i'm pretty uncomfortable with some of the poses in the lessons... it's seems like a stance for some kind of "idol worship" esp towards the end...
Some new classes that had attracted me like Cardio Latino(a cardio excerise with some dance movements, Blast- Blast is a more enhanced of KB which uses of gloves and pack, instead of kicking and punching into the air... and it can helps me to stay focused.... oh, it's a good way of "ventilation"... think my boss will like it very much. It's time to go back to my BSF and finish the rest of the lesson questions.

DLS's Staff Appreciation Nite 2006.
Quite a numbers of the teams really dressed to the occasions, with their themes like "flinstone", Shangihai Knights, Kungfu Hustle, Men in Black, The Pirates of the Carribean... Oops, cant remembered all their names... out of the teams, Kungfu Hustle was quite impressive with their trademarks of axes and their gang black pants n shirt with loosely hang ties... actually the rest of the teams were quite good, if not as good as Kungfu Hustle... esp the "siao zha Bo" named by our mc of the event... if u remember the charactor who scream can makes the glass burst, musical instruments torned into pieces... haha... cannot imgaine she has to wear the night-gown in such a public area... with a lot of other diners sitting very near to us as there are other pubs nearby....
Ya, there's even free flow of beer... wow, thought that we have to pay the drinks ourselves... at first we didnt know, so we took the soft drinks like coke... after that when we realised that, everyone rushed for the beer...hmmm, and it's like only handful continue with the soft drinks while everyone's hand is a beer... hmmm, i sticked to soft drinks just in case... even it's free...
As usual, got lucky draw... wow, one a colek(not actually from my team), just that in her own team, there's no more seats for her so she ended up using one of our desk since we got vancacies.. she won the 1st prize (32" LCD TV)... and we got 200 over staffs (not including those did not came) and chances of getting a prize is still slim and she won... wow... anyway, it's not abt the prize... it's having fun.... one of the last game that we played before we were dismissed for the day... our 5 directors threw out rolls of strings and we need to throw as far to each other, at least... hmmm, what's this game abt? throwing rolls of strings at each other... doesnt make any sense??? but after a while when we see that a "nest" or spider webs began to form... the moral of this game is that we have to be united as one, not individuals in the company.... kind of the end product is like a fishing net... haha... from 5 rolls of strings form a "fishing net"... just simply amazing!!! Shall upload the pic that i have taken into the web after i burnt into CD and transfered the photos in... didnt knew that yahoo a/c can also upload fotos too.. until...
This week, watched 2 movies in a row with my buddy cum old fren and sis-in-christ (whom i didnt catch up for quite some time, not very long either)....n it's also been a while since i watched movie... though not very long ago, hmmm, Superman Returns... =) The movies are quite funny the pirates of the carribean and Nacho... though seems like no head no tail, but watching these 2 movies did helped me to relax and forget abt work... wow, my first time watching 2 movies after 1 another (if i remembered correctly)... quite tiring but interesting... who knows the next movie marathon will be 3 in a row.... hehe... and my sis told me to stay behind since the movie will still continued right at the end, so me n m sat there for few minutes, only to see the "dog" sitting on the throne, preparing to be BBQed... tot the ending will be spectacular... Sometimes, i do missed the times when i watched movie with my ex-b, esp during explosive/shocking scenes... i will lay on his shoulders and he will... hmmm, anyway, those who have bf should knew what the guys will do... haha... it's been long time since i last saw him, dun know how's he is doing?? though i should say that i'm regretful for initiating the breakup and it really hurts.
Aiyah. dun put too much hope on something if not the disappointment will be even greater... 1 lesson that i have learnt, though not from the movie... Just a thought... one of a phase that i kept reminding myself... to look more at pp's strength and less of their weaknessess.... anyway, i do sometimes irritates pp until they are almost at their max...
Sometimes, i didnt realised that my actions/the words that i said has caused misunderstandings to my pp around me, esp my family, coleks and frens ... if not, i will probably more careful with the words that comes out from my lips and more conscious of my actions... maybe it's a bit late now... but definitely this wont be able to find a place in my thoughts... how wished i will turn around the clock- out of questions... and all these misunderstandings wont happened at all... Knowing what to do and actually doing it can be quite hard for me... esp swallowing all my pride and said "I'm sorry, it's all my fault, pls forgive me." I'm too stubborn to do anything now.... but since what i have done is like pouring out the water and it's impossible to retrieve back the water... i have to rely on God's grace instead of me trying too hard to do things my way. 2 Cor 5:17 "Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation, the old has gone, the new has come."
Oh, recently, while meeting up with sis at Bugis Junction, i happened to walk pass Action City... guess what i saw... a mini penguin water dispenser...i bought it without 2nd tot... today, i brought it to work... my colek, DS, sitting behind saw it and immediately fell in love with the water dispenser that she went down to B.J with C.T. during lunch today to buy it since only that outlet got sell... and both of us will have the same mini water dispenser on our office desk... so funny... anyway, she loves mini and cute stuffs. Yeah, she's planning to buy a toy dispenser( those in arcade that can "grab" toys... but in action city sells a model that's downsized a lot... sometimes, i'm can spend quite a lot of S11 on these kind of stuffs.. which is not very valuable... waste of S11 only.. but it's okay, happens only once in a blue moon leh...

How to kill time in office when....???
Aiyah, got a bit of spare time in office so can blog.... before i head home to rest...
Had a good talk with my colek just now during lunch... though it's a "good venilating", definitely not gossiping.... =P Sometimes, when i'm just simply overwelmed by circumstances, the most likely thing that i will do is to hit gym but ever since i injuried my leg and gym is out... i turned to my next best friend, by ranting it out.... good thing, when i ever need a listening ear, my colek sitting right behind me always ever, so willing to offer her listening ears....
well, i do feel very frustrated by bottling up... though not very healthy for my soul, body and mind and spirit.... not very usual for me to burst out every time, i felt unjusticed, or been blamed or so ever but i will keep until it's about to burst then i start doing something,... by then will be quite late to do remedy.... guess it's my weakness.... yeah, after pouring out all my "rubbish" to D.S, i felt much better.... Oops... aiyah... i need to talk out sometimes....

My first dental appt...
Phews, yesterday went to have my 1st dental appt, possibly of getting my braces on by end of the year, i hope... with finally i got my mum's consents to me having on my braces, with intially she got lots of fears and worries for me.... aiyah, mother's love... but i dun know if i can overcome my fears of having my "good" teeth been forcefully plucked out....plus the needle jabs... the tot of it already gives me a lot of nightmares... plus i'm quite terrified at the sight of blood... aiyah... hmmm, the thought of putting on braces comes about, abt 4 years ago... from my china room-mate over at China, GY... though at that time, she's may seems a bit old to put braces at late twenties but she choose to do so she will look nice during her wedding.... we were room-mate mah, so we got lots of time chatting and that's how i found out from her abt braces... Plus... we sort of quite a lot of time to interact after classes or during weekends where we dun have to teach, quite a lot of my "team-mates also ever had put braces before" and gave good testimonies of putting braces.. and they also sort of encouraged me to try... so thus, that dream was born... but... after coming back to spore and started looking for jobs and "hanging around" stuffs, no S11... like that, left the "dream" high and dry and i just push the dream aside...until.. when i got to see results from my some of my friends whom i hang out with... though their cases not serious lah....but of course, plus lots of "pushings" emhhh, think sometimes i need motivations/that push for me to get started....
Was surprised that the dentist's quite frank with me, possible that my tooth may not be 100% straightened after the braces, and plus the state of my gum, he wasnt too sure if my gums can take the stresses from putting on the bracing... but he can only ascertain after further tests bah... Even, i myself a bit of doubt too... i was also been informed of the costs and i think total costs will cost cheaper compared to if i will to do it elsewhere... if i choose to do it my usual dentist clinic, will be much expensive than this clinic.... plus he's not a pushy type of "salesman", which sometimes put me off...
Yeah, as usual... i freaked out again in front of dentist... so end up, i ask him nothing... haha... i wanted to ask him few questions but the moment i stepped into the room, my mind's trun blank. Erhhh.... hmmmm, next time, i will note it down and pass the paper to the dentist so that even if i'm freaked out, he can just read what i wrote it inside... Well, i still haven booked the appt to scaled my teeth... gg soon... at least make my first move towards putting on braces... think i will missed my "vampire" teeth if the dentist choose to take out those teeth...
But i'm still bothered with what's happening in my workplace... well, it's time for me to do something now, if not there's will be no turning back any more... =( I'm striving to change... but sometimes, i tried too hard on my own and hence i'm burnout... hopefully with God's grace and depending on his grace, i will grow stronger... yeah....
Unfortunately, today i have lunch on my own, and instead of heading to my usual hangout, i decided to go to the people's park complex to have my lunch there... guess who i bumped into at S11... aiyah, it's was my boss.... i was quite shocked, i mean so co-incidence meh, that i'm stopped in my own track...hmm, she also noticed me too.... Though could feel the Holy Spirit nauching me to do something, but i grieved the Holy Spirit again... aiyah... why must i be so prideful? can i just admit my mistakes/flaws? Just need to tear away my pride lor, wont kill me, right... but though that's simple act, i need to hesitate so long.... really needs real lotsa of prayers.... I'm still learning to surrender the "Lordship" back to Christ... By right i should but sometimes, my hands too itchy and take back the control... eh.. Like the song... I surrender ALL.

Overslept today....
haha... Today my first time in my whole life working, i overslept past my working hours... Yo, woke up 830am sharp even my alarm clock is screaming away at 7am... aiyah... how come can it happened to me?? Reached home yesterday 5mins past 12am and plus a bit of dilly-dally, i slept at about 12.45am... yawning... actually, wanted to go back office to work today as i got tasks on my desk which are both important and urgent... have to get it done by latest end of this week. aiyah, seems it's not possible now...
Aiyo.... am rather thankful for these 2 days... opportunity to take a short break from work and injuried legs... but my foot seems to get worse... i'm feeling the pain/strain when i put pressure on my injuried foot....which dun happened on sat n sunday... what's happening?? is my foot getting better??? is it sign that when my foot is recovering?? hmmmm, but there's certainly time for a bit of self-reflection and time with the Lord... as much as i'm keen to do now and get it right. Ya, yest sent a sms to my AD, informing him that i wont be going to office, cause i injuried my foot. he replied asking me to visit doc. anyway, was pleasantly surprised that he replied and showed his concern...
Got too much time to spare so decide to blog instead... Missed BSF yesterday for the 3 consecative time, though M.T my DL did not said anything but she said she did missed my presence, i do miss their presence too... thru the discussion time, i was often encouraged by their sharings... sharings when they struggled and how God bring them thru, their individual struggles etc... i missed the lecture too by L. and of course the fellowship... aiyah... Ya, just wanna blog the opportunity for me to serve in the children program and i can said that it's no easy work trying to get the kids seated quietly and attentively listening to the lessons... esp the boys... jumping around and chasing each other, sometimes mocking each other... i too witness there's almost a fight and we have to separate them apart... but to see their doing their homework and the hunger to know the Word... sometimes, i do admited during sharing, we do hesitated in sharing, but these kids are fighting to answer to the questions... Kids's attention lifespan is really short, get 1 kid to settle down and after few minutes later, he will be doing his diseappearing act again... zoom, he's at the other corner of the classroom... had a hard time making them get seated... til to the point, i have to pull the boys back to their orginal seat..... after i wasted all my saliva commanding them to go back which sometimes work and sometimes it dun... aiyah... Hard work man...
Anyway, what we did is out of love for the kids lah, so that they will be able to understand the Word better rather than running wild around the classroom. dun know will it be a effective way to teach a child the Word of God this way? but it's God who's our greatest teacher and guide.
Just wanna said that after trying out be a assistant teacher in the children program though doesnt helped much in recognising my Spiritual gifts, but it's a step forward rather than stagnant in my old ground. Will continue to volunteer in different ministries to try out... hope it's will help in some ways. hehe...

Aiyo.... am rather thankful for these 2 days... opportunity to take a short break from work and injuried legs... but my foot seems to get worse... i'm feeling the pain/strain when i put pressure on my injuried foot....which dun happened on sat n sunday... what's happening?? is my foot getting better??? is it sign that when my foot is recovering?? hmmmm, but there's certainly time for a bit of self-reflection and time with the Lord... as much as i'm keen to do now and get it right. Ya, yest sent a sms to my AD, informing him that i wont be going to office, cause i injuried my foot. he replied asking me to visit doc. anyway, was pleasantly surprised that he replied and showed his concern...
Got too much time to spare so decide to blog instead... Missed BSF yesterday for the 3 consecative time, though M.T my DL did not said anything but she said she did missed my presence, i do miss their presence too... thru the discussion time, i was often encouraged by their sharings... sharings when they struggled and how God bring them thru, their individual struggles etc... i missed the lecture too by L. and of course the fellowship... aiyah... Ya, just wanna blog the opportunity for me to serve in the children program and i can said that it's no easy work trying to get the kids seated quietly and attentively listening to the lessons... esp the boys... jumping around and chasing each other, sometimes mocking each other... i too witness there's almost a fight and we have to separate them apart... but to see their doing their homework and the hunger to know the Word... sometimes, i do admited during sharing, we do hesitated in sharing, but these kids are fighting to answer to the questions... Kids's attention lifespan is really short, get 1 kid to settle down and after few minutes later, he will be doing his diseappearing act again... zoom, he's at the other corner of the classroom... had a hard time making them get seated... til to the point, i have to pull the boys back to their orginal seat..... after i wasted all my saliva commanding them to go back which sometimes work and sometimes it dun... aiyah...

Touched by a simple act.
Today was pleasantly surprised and touched... by a sms replied back by my AD for a sms sent to him early this morning... Normally, he wont replied back my sms but to receive it... hmmm, it's like hitting jackpot... Oops... not that worse than that... Dun wanna deny, that i was touched to see the msg, coz in my wildest dreams, would i can imagine happening in reality...
But still i dun want to let this isolated incident to change my perspective of my AD, but it would be hard though.

Tmr on 1/2day leave....
Aiyah, i on leave again... Not that i'm always on leave, since the last time i took leave from my entitlement annual leave is Mar for my China trip and since i have been paying back so thus i cant take leave, and now since my leave is accumulating and i feel it's quite sufficient enuff for me to clear 1/2 a day.... since i may have to start saving leave again... i'm really see pp got lotsas of opportunity to travel, and i think i'm not a rich person to be able to go to the Europe now... but who knows in the future??? Was in the car with the usual gang, and wow, i meant the chance to go England, London... wow, am really tempted... hmmm, can see their historic, tourist attractions, like the big Ben stuffs like that... hope they will enjoy the trip... never had the opportunity to travel with this gang, last time missed with them to Aust... but since they never asked, i also quite paiseh to say i also wanna go with them.... n they may find uncomfortable with my presence, i guess... since they also have their own agenda... to me, i find it's quite fun travelling with diff group of pp... hmmm, will always have a great discovery during the time spent together.... =) but anyway, there's always a lot of other opportunities in the future... that's something i told myself always... so that i wont be too disappointed... like buying stuffs or job opportunities... hehe... but there's certain things that's not good to wait....
Okay, am rather encouraged by a story that my HR exec emailed to all the junior staffs.. shall post it here so that it will too encouraged those reading this blog. Here it's goes....
There was this museum laid with beautiful marble tiles, with a huge marble statue displayed in the middle of the lobby. Many people came from all over the world just to admire this beautiful marble statue.
One night, the marble tiles start talking to the marble statue.
Marble tiles: Marble statue, it's just now fair, it's just now fair!!! Why does everybody over the world come all the way here just to step over me while admiring you. It's just not fair!
Marble Statue: My dear friend, marble tile. Do you still remember we were actually come from the same cave?
Marble tiles: Yeah! That's why i feel it's even more unfair. We were born from the same cave and yet we receive different treatment. Not fair!
Marble Statue: Do you still remember the day the designer tried to work on you but you resisted the tools?
Marble tiles: Yes, of course i remembered. I hate that guy. How could he use the tools on me, it hurts so badly.
Marble Statue: That's right! He couldnt work on you at all as you resisted being worked on.
Marble tiles: So???
Marble Statue: When he decided to give up on you and start working on me instead, i knew at once i would be something different after his efforts. I did not resist his tools, instead i bore all the painful tools he used on me.
Marble tiles: hmmmmmm......
Marble Statue: My friend, there is a price to everything in life. Since you decided to give up halfway, you cant blame on anyone who steps on you now.
Moral of this story: It's simply the more hard knocks you go through in life, the more you'll learn and put them to use in the future!!! Do not be discouraged by setbacks and failures. Past is past, you cant change it but it is actually blessing in disguise. Past was good, present is better and future will always be the best...
While writting this encouragement... it's a good reminder that we too are God's marble.... However, if we resisted to his molding and sharpening...we will always be a un-polished marble that's so unglam to look at.... if we allowed God's hands in molding us... we will be like the statue that's so beautiful that showed God's workmanship in our lives... guess the molding part is the most unbearable... At times, when i go thru the process... it's so painful that i felt like just giving up....but wanna see the end product, i would rather suffered now.... though at times, i do struggled so badly that i tends to resist... but after resisting for a while, i gave in to allow the creator to continue His work on me... I will certainly strive to stop resisting God's painful tools and allow God's creative works in my life that i will grow and change more and more like Christ, demonstrating of God's wonderful works in my life... My mission on earth... to know Christ and to let Him known... a easy statement, hard to work it out though... with a lot of help... i needed.
In Hebrew 12:1-12.. but in verse 12 says that "No discipline seems pleasant at time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it."
A verse to ponder... Oh, i stumbled into this verse while doing my BSF lessons yesterday... =)

Counting the no.of days to Friday...
Ooops, still have 3 more days to Friday... Seems eternity... aiyah...
Counting back, i have been in cold war with my boss for 11 days liao... see, i so free to count the no of days... Sorry, but this time round, wont take so fast for me to give in lor.... Not that i'm still angry or petty over certain issues but just that i'm too tired to do anything now... Yesterday BSF learnt a new lesson from Lucy, but seems that i'm pretty reluctant to do anything now.... even though deep in my heart, i knew what is expected of me to do, but my brain seems to think with lotsa of reasons .... For now, seems that my brain had won over my heart....
Sis n I was thinking to take a half day leave to sing out our lungs off one of these days together with her friend, but not likely to be near though... say only lah.... Shall go down nearby, jalan jalan before i have to come back n face my work... though work has been quite light nowadays but who knows.... Laugh too early, just now 2 hours before i was to knock off work, my boss gave me a task which is urgent again... always the same, expect me to finish by today... aiyah, i'm not a superwoman lor, am trying to work off my socks just now and clock OT... I always got dump an assignment and without clear instructions, so i have to always work out my own solutions... and in tight deadline... Ask the wrong questions, and i will certainly genna left right centre... No wonder, all the things i learnt is from my explorations and past mistakes/experiences... Actually, i dun mind slogging away for even the most stressful, tightest deadline, but to see the "bo chap" from my boss, really irkes me... i mean as a leader, at least must show some concern about yr project and not care a hook when dump the assisgnment to her/his assistants.
Tmr, am going to the site... yoyo, gg to have a shopping spree again... Ooopss...

Frisbee No.... Coz Raining...
Been missing frisbee due to the weather or my fault... last week, i missed coz of tiredness from the world cup effects and today rained cats and dogs in the every parts of spore... even as i'm writting this, it's still raining at my place... Yeah, went to the 845am svc today, which after i headed down to J8 to finish up with my BSF stuffs thanks to my dear DL's help in mailing over the lessons... and aiyah, still have to finish even though i wont be attending the discussion and lecture time since i will be helping out the children programme which concurrently going with the adults programme too... my 1st time and i'm quite nervous yet excited... never got to really involved in children except during the community service at G.Y. 4 yrs ago... until now...
After which i went back to have lunch with the hope pp and lazing ard at jh's pl until frisbee time... Guess we didnt have the nice weather today to play since most likely God hold back the rain meant for yesterday and let go today... it wasnt meant to be... Watch the 3rd/4th placing between Germany and Portugal with 3 pp during the 2nd half... Was quite exciting to watch Germany scored 3 goals, 2 really nice goal from that S guy... 4gotten his name... 1 OG and Numos pulling 1 back for Portugal at the final minutes... At least Germany got something for it's supporters, though their dreams of holding to the World Cup was dashed...
Was quite inspired and a timely reminder by this verse in Psalms 103: 2-3
"我的心哪，你要称颂耶和华！不可忘记他的一切恩惠！他赦免你的一切罪孽，医治你的一切疾病。”
Okay... Eng NIV ver... Ps 103:2-3 "Praise the Lord, O my soul and forget not all His benefits- who forgives all your sins and heal all your diseases." Not that i memorised in chinese... but recently at myDL's recommendation that i read the chinese version if i find it hard to understand in NIV... so hence i switch between NIV and my chinese bible... only 4 my BSF lessons...
Memorized this verse during poly and it has been helpful to focus on my prayer... Ever had a bad skin conditions which sometimes affects me really badly... which i think maybe due to allery to certain food like seafood stuffs which i try not to take too much, things like crab i still haven tried it b4 etc... though i have ever eat crabmeat... and stuffs like that... Cannot imagine the pain and the itchniess cause by the scratching and i can claim myself champion for the best scratcher... at worst, i can scratch until i can see the raw skin beyond the skin level... blooded...
An answered prayer, but it's after a long long time of persistent prayer though at times i scratched out of itch hands... Not bluffing though... but recently it came back to haunt me again... started with on my joints on my hands and spread all the way to the joints on my left legs and both of my legs and certain parts of my body too... aiyah... Dun know the reasons for it's return-back... have tried to control on my diet, but doesnt as effective to control... a timely reminder that i should claim the promises instead of trying to be my own doc...
Yoyo, but need a lot of discipline to be continuely praying over the same stuffs over and over again... but God's the same 4ever and so does His promises... Was reading this passage from Psalms 103.. and fear come out 3 times... talking of God's love to those who feared Him.. Though there's something like a string attached to the promise... think God had His own reasons for doing so... though i admit i also dun really very sure... His thoughts are much higher than mine.... Glad to have solitude time with God and be still... and more of such time will come...
Am preparing myself for a long marathon later, gg to watch the finals tmr morning... but guess tmr, i'm going to suffer for my actions... hmmm, should i take half day leave to Zzzzz... still deciding, dun wanna anyhow waste my leave just like that...

Shopping Spree!!!
Today had a really really long day... the longest i'm out of home for so long during weekends, esp sat... normally i will step out of house latest ard 7-8plus... today i had to rush out home before the sun rises... "yawning".... to make it to church by 7.30am for the warm up excerise and some worship before we set off to PLMGSS for the project uplift cum e ch 74th anniversary.. (hope i get it right)... =) Times really flies, and i have been in PLMC for 6 years plus plus... and the place where i am baptised and the place i would really love to stay on and be involved in anyway that i can be of used... The walk was quite okay, weather was quite cool in the beginning, with lotsa of shade, just except that i slightly injuried my left toe, was limping all the way to the final location, which was by then i have walked almost to Tai Keng Gdns... Not wanting to let the pain tortured me, i picked up my speed and "chiong" all the way to the school...
Oh, by the way, met a resident from the neighbourhood from Paya Lebar along the way, thus use the opportunity to invite him to our chinese service... it was by then i was about to turn into the school already... Met up with A.K. after the walk, one of a friend whom she also likes to go to ECP to cycle... (just recently realised)... the whole walk, cum the games, worship and "sermon" by WBH, our past PIC...
Ended quite early, so hence i was be able to meet up with her earlier... Finally got the stuffs done and Oops, i left behind the water bottle meant to be a sovenior from the walk today... aiyah, getting really 4getful nowadays... Actually, kenna fun to catch up with her so many times since i only got to meet her only like once a year thing... now she starts initiating to even go cycling together... hmmm... Normally i will cycle alone or with my cycling fren.. actually will be exciting to cycle with her, dun know leh... but just being excited abt it... hehe... got to know better her better after sharing... yeah, she's another who loves shopping... hmmm, was just casually sharing abt the GSS, and tot of gg together to shop in HK for their summer sale, she also got excited and mentioned of gg back this July... but guess will be just a passing remarks, since she will also be very busy with her biz too... where to find time???
Aiyah, much of the pushing factor that got me really considering putting braces comes from her too... though i'm much admitted visiting dentist already gives me a lot of nightmares already, summore, not just visits, but got lotsa of things to do... aiyah, whoever have ever put on braces should know.. like getting your healthy teeth being removed, the tot of seeing the blood flowing from the wounds, the painkiller injections (and i'm terrified of jabs),will i really missed my "tiger" teeth after it's gone (if only i dun have to face the likeihood of pulling out so many teeths.. even 1 or 2 would consider many liao... How about the costs involved???... but again, my dentist also advised me doing while i'm young and not just for the asethetics only... but also other factors lah... Too many concerns, thus i kept procrastinating until now.... though i see pp after braces really changed, for better... Aiyah, i jus too "_____"...
Then which i meet up with my sister and Sharon to shop since sis's bf will be on the afternoon flight back from Taiwan and hence will only reach SGP only evening... so been such a rare opportunity to spend time with sis as she's wont be at home during weekends... we went to ps to shop, started at ps... went to "let go" at the arcade, after which we shopped almost every storey to the basement... i got myself a top... and both of them been shopping queen, bought nothing... so was quite tired of staying awake the whole day since morning 5.50am, quarrelled with sis... aiyah, maybe i'm not understanding of her as she always got "implusion", once she in that mood, she must get the stuffs she wants if not she will grumbled, complained until she gets her way... sometimes, i wondered how i have tahan my sis for so long... sister's love mah....Think she also tahan me for the past 25 years too... haha... but by then, i'm super duper tired... eyes couldnt open shut wide...
Anyway, i gave in and we took a long walk from PS to Far East Plaza, limping my way there... =( To cut the story short, i got myself 2 pairs of shoes for myself, my sis a pair and Sharon also 1 pair... But what's interesting, was we got the exact same shoes at different locations and made 3 trips back and fro between 2 shops... since Sharon and my sis fell in love with that pair of shoes.. and actually at first i was hmmm, what kind of taste they have... but after trying a couple of times, i also like the design and even toyed the idea of getting 1 for myself... Finally, i also found a pair of shoes for the next wedding... for the skirt n blouse that been paired up for me by a really kind image consultant... aiyah, hopefully my taste wont killed off the skirt n blouse... hehe... Ya, for the record in my whole life, i actually bought 2 pairs of shoe in one shopping trip. though the total sum that i have spent did not broke my last record... but 2 shoes... aiyah...
Body and legs aching now... from the 3.5km walk and shopping...

Last Day.... 2 of my dear frens...
Today marks the last day of my 2 dear friends @ work whom 1 got to know when i first stepped into this company and the other was only 9 weeks attachments student... aiyah, as the longer i stay, t more pp i saw leaving before me... Out of my classmates in poly, only left me and Julie and Tingting whom i seldom talked to... the rest left after getting promoted... Perhaps, this place is not so good to stay longer than 3 years... Well, i heard pp saying tired working here, here quite stressful and low increment and stuffs like that... Well, things picking up and my 1st increment was not bad compared to the rest... But is monetary really matters?? i mean there's other factors that contribute to the well being of a person...
I never expects that in the mist of me staying in this company, i would meet meet such nice pp like CK, Janice... DS, CL (well, used to) etc... Actually i should be thankful to ever know these pp... Not by co-incidence... but part of God's plan... pp there to encourage me, helped and part of molding process... in turn, i too learnt be a channel of God's blessings... Not that i very enjoyed of being accused of being a false witness for Christ by a brother which unfortunately my AD... I have no regrets even if i'm being "forced out", because in everything i have put in my best and nothing but the best of me... though i do admit that i make mistakes... But will i need to be condemned 4ever??? But anyway, i have learnt to take things in my stride... Faced the problem instead of escaping from it.... Have started not to take things for granted, anyway like what J said, i can learn to rest now, coz i may not have another chance again... I have learn to be thankful, in despite that the feelings i have in me... though i may not understand now, hope that as i reflected back, i will be thankful for what had happened... maybe a God's molding process now, maybe very painful, but a beautiful outcome in the days to come...
Just now, after work, left early with J and along the way met CK... then we had a chance to sit down to chat... since they got so much to talk, i remained silent... almost thru-out the conversation... As they talked, am really reminded of the things that happened, though not pleasant at that time... as i remembered, it was certainly that i have learnt and do see the chance to change... for the better... if not for the harsh but good teachings from pp like NSW, CL, H... Am thankful... Working for a perfectionist boss like CL, certainly change the way that i worked, the way i approached work... from my "acceptable level" to meet to their high standards of working... being so particular in the way to present my work... though sometimes, i overly stubborn and insist on my way... that's certainly doesnt help much in my work... as i realised... aiyah, change dun come overnight... as i too struggled to change... remember that u cant change overnight... if they expect me to change 180 overnight, then they will be greatly disappointed lor... Am trying to become a better person... that's takes time... like giving birth also requires 9 mths, what's more for me.... 2 Cor 5:17... but... Rom 12:2... i still haven continual renewed my mind though... am learning to put God's Word in me n less of me....
Today, met CK for lunch, guess J quite disappointed... anyway there's lots of opportunities in the future to lunch together... Got her a gift, guess she loves to read, and a bookmark will be a nice gift... a farewell cum "thank u" gift...i guess... for her help in the T2C.O, 5STs n R.M... esp T2C.O, when we worked thru the nights to rush thru... though she never worked beyond 12am, but it's still the efforts that counts... =) i'm not the sort who can really expressed myself, guess let the gift and the card speaks for itself... On behalf of the PQS n T2 team as a expression of graditude and been thankful for her contributions... hehe... Only me... haha...
It's really nice to have some1 as a companion for lunch, to let loose of the stressess from work. etc... and i been really thankful... though pockets poorer by few bucks everyday... it's something that $$$ cant buy.... with both of these 2 pp which i hold dear to my heart, no longer in compay... i need more motivations to stay on... sometimes, it's the friendship that's holding me back... but guess with their departure... i would stay on, continue to learn more new stuffs... which i would really love to have a hands on... like preliminary costings... more involvements in preparations like writting specs... though i may not adequately trained as i am a real estate/property management trained/Not a QS trained.. in my final year... i would really love to have such opportunity to learn... i will ask/request again from my boss... never mind, i throw away all my face... like i did request for a opportunity to get involved in tendering.. though i have failed, but i will get better the next time round since i knew my mistakes....
Oops, today DS commented today which i could never expect from her... anyway a comment that quite surprised me... this week have been quite a meaningful week esp the day b4, yest n today... yesterday got the time to help J to do on her blog html stuffs, today helped DS searched for a country code online when a mysterious overseas call... since she asked me and i got stuffs to do, though not very that urgent... decide to help her searched thru the net... today got chance lend a listening ear, offer practical helps... etc... Got too much free time during work, am also trying to be as effective/efficient in my work.. got time to chat in emails... oops... not that i can do so often nowadyas, always nearly got caught red-handed by AD so hence i didnt want to do email during work... today even got time to make a last min DIY farewell card... Okay, guess today effective in doing the non-essential stuffs... haha... Shall make full use of the time... to learn regarding QS stuffs n be of effective God's channels... hmmm.... =)
Shall not let myself dwell on what's pp expectations/sink into negative me... instead channel my energy into some positive sss... =)
永远感恩。成经走过的路。

Thursday... coming Friday...
Really i dunno how i survived the past 4 days??? Seriously, i dun know... I had enuff liao.... am really tired to let myself dragged to work everyday though what i'm know what i'm supposed to do everyday... what kind of funny situation at work everyday... i dun even know how to face CL, she also dun wanna talked to me... 1 fine day when i'm done with the final accounts, i dun know what's ahead in my current company??? Seriously, i dun know.... Am confused... Not going to let this drift along with the current until i landed into the dead sea... but how am i going to paddle back??? Just know how to frustrate out only.... aiyah!!! God, grant me your wisdom to know what to do....
Yeah, gonna watch the encore of the semi-final match between France and Portugal tonight.... just wanna stay up and watch the Zizane's penalty kick that leads to France 1 Portugal 0... Actually as much as i wanted France to go to the final, this will be the last world cup that Figo will be playing for his country.... it's quite sad to see the other side celebrating while the other team have to kiss the world cup goodbye... the cruelity of reality.... =( anyway for those who's pinning their hopes on Portugal, wont be feeling sad since they have rising players like C.Ronaldo who still young and the next world cup wont be too hard feat for them... But meanwhile, it's France Vs Italy... though Italy is peaking at the right time, but dun forget the oldies of the France 98.... Hopefully at the right time, France will once again win the World Cup... Just hoping... =) All my predictions for this year world cup have all gone wrong... so this time round i shall not predict just in case... hehe... =)

Oh my goodness...
How could it happened in the whole history of soccer.... Italy beat Germany 2-0 after extra time.... and how come how... when Italy seems a bit not up to standard can beat Germany who's starts to steam roll over all their opponents while Italy sruggled.... but perhaps they peak too fast thus they fall fast too....
anyway, today went to complain abt my handphone stuffs.... blood vessals got nearly genna burst by the attitude of the customer service officer.... guess what they have the dare to give me a recycled number and thence i got quite a number of nuisense and overseas call... actually i went there on pretext of wanting to get them give me a new number.... instead, they give me lotsa of excuses of the processes are long and tedious... and that black face and the damn attitude, i felt like giving her a kick on her bum... then get her supervisor to helped since she didnt want to do anything.... but he also tried to give me possible of unused long time ago number which i dun think it's the kind of service u expect from such a big company which has the support of T.H. I have wrote this not asking every1 to boycott this company... but the way it treated it customer... even the orange company service offer better customer service than this red company.... never again will i wanna to have with this company once my contract is up... meanwhile.... "ren"
Okay, enuff of my complains....

Superman Returns!!!!
Finally, got the opportunity to watch a movie after getting my pay for June.... guess i dun have such luxury to watch movies, sing KTV, or even cycling any more... without going thru my monthly budget... aiyah.... if only... but anyway, since got whatever i have now, have got to be thankful... since i cannot said that i got too little salary nor i have to complain that i got too much neither... ever since i got my last increment early this year... how wish i did not have such a increment??? maybe it's a way to taught me how to spend my $$$ prudently.... hmmm.... i have learn to be contented in the little that i have.... not too much, not too little, just sufficient for me to get by... =)
Yeah, i went to watch movie, "The Superman Returns" yesterday evening, thence i skipped my 1st BSF after the long June break... my DL gonna kill me for sure... Oops... but anyway, cant exposed myself to too many pp with my outbreak of rashes either... a good excuse huh... Aiyah, should i say that i dun appreciate the movie, with the ending no head no tail... What happened to the baddie bald guy who and her "mistress" got stranded in a small island at the end when they plane dun know how to crash land on that mini small island?? without any damages to the plane and both of them seems okay??? hmmm, did the producer didnt put a thought how to make a plane landed safely to the islannd without a long runway??? even a plane that had a glide below also need distance to travel before coming to a stop. Dun tell me that the plane hit onto the water and safely landed on the island without any help from the gliding stuff below the plane or did it accidentally dropped from the sky onto the small island... hmmm, if he thinking of superman when he wrote and direct the movie...or he never learn physics in his/her entire life
But overall, i find the movie interesting, with some humor that came along with it.... Think 7 bucks quite worth it... hehe...
Today morning, suddenly my boss, CL came to my table... just got this funny feeling... asking me today got anything for lunch... if not she's going to treat J, 1 of our IA student from NUS for lunch... blurrr, i dun know should i say a yes or no, since anyway, i'm not sure whether she wants me to be around or not for lunch??? but anyway, i went with both of them today...a real dilemma for me since i think she would be uncomfortable if i go... n J would feel weird if i dun go... But anyway, she treated us to a dim sum restuarant at the A centre near to our work place... Not bad, i meant the food... but just that it's a bit of quiet for a restuarant in such a peak hour....
Am stucked at this funny situation and the ground below keep sinking and i couldnt hold on anymore... Dilemma again!!! What should i do???
