Happy New Year.
Hopefully with the new year comes with new year resolution and let the past be past... Broken relationships restored, new challenges, change of church, cell group... re-align my focus again.
Went back PLMC for the Watch Night service as i knew 2 of our pastors will be leaving us to another churches. Feel quite sad that esp our PIC, Rev PK is leaving us... Coz we will be missing such a gifted yet humble and serving Pastor and also our Pastor, Rev KL whom i knew him from those days with the 8.45am CS when i was still in my Poly days... Time flies... from a member, he rose to fufil his calling as a full time ministry staff and now, he's leaving us.... Would miss his sermon, esp the way he preached... Will rem Rev PK as a Pastor who's has this servanthood's attitude... Rem i attended the JE 3-4 years back, PK who opened doors (i mean physically open the door). =) Though sometimes, our dear PIC maybe "emo" during his sermon, but quite impactful at times... Will miss 2 of my dear loving Pastors. On the lighter note, our ex-Pastor, JS will be coming back this year to re-join PLMC as PIC and we have 2 new Pastors.
From tis year onward, my current boss will entrusted with even bigger/more responsibilities. Well, i do missed those days where we still working at our old office at the end of the building when i just joined the organisation... well, this was then before she got promoted to become our boss... Seriously, it's great to have her as a colek and i really mean it. Appreciate those days when i just joined the organisation, it's was she who initiated the first move to help me settled down in the organisation esp with the PC stuffs though she wasnt my work buddy and her position back then wasn't to supervise me either... Despite her busy schedules, she will always helped me and take time to explain when i asked her... It was fun, esp i have the habit of "Ta Chua" infront of my cubicles and her concern esp when i have to take time-off to go for my doc appt at SGH.. she will then smsed me her concern. Though at times, she can be quite long-winded... I will say that i have learned a lot from her esp from the pre-post tender/contract. When i was being transferred to work under her team, i was a bit apprehensive... haha... maybe i was over-reacting at that time...
After when i'm being transferred to work under her during our first re-org, i have learned many aspects of life... learn to work with a boss who's many years older than me. (all my previous bosses were very young). Learn to work with her under stressful and demanding situations/tight deadlines. I have learned to be patient, self-control and compromise. She has taught me many technical parts of my work. Very much humbled by her.
Rem 1 time when i was working pretty late, and left only 2 of us in the Sect working... My stomach was growling but i decided to hold off to finish my work until i left office and buy something along the way. She went to buy dinner and bought a pie from a cafe within our building and gave me a piece... though din say much... I thought it was a kind gesture from her as a boss/colek. Though hardly talked to my boss except work-related matters... Could see that she really loves her kids from our conversation... Guess every mother will always put her kids in their first place... To my boss, i thank you for being my boss & colleague... though most likely she wont have the opportunity to see this. Haha....
There was another time when we really worked very late til wee hours... as she has to help 1 of our colek to settled some work-related stuffs as that colek was away in his R.L and it's really super urgent... She has no choice but to stay back. Guess that the fact that she loved her work, took her work seriously and to every single aspects she wants to perfect it as much as she can. That's explain why she's always the last person in our Sect to leave the office.
My wishes for her this year that she will not be too hard on herself and enjoy her role and the rest of the Sect will learn to respect her as boss and listen to her advices/leadership and spend quality time with her family instead of spending long hours in office.
Also, sis will be getting her home sweet home after a long wait/searching next year... Hope she and Bro-in-law will love their new place which is about 10mins walk from PPR. Hope that with the new year, my sis will be adventurous and do the stuffs that she didn't got to do in year 2009 and do what's right. hehe..
For myself, i strive to spend more time with the Lord and spend more time with my family, esp with my sis and my parents... Less time focused on work and more time on my personal growth a disciple as well as ministry time. Less focus on the my wants and instead to serve others. Time to re-align myself to what God wants to lead me to... be it church, cell group, ministry etc. Time to be pro-active rather than to reactive.
Well, with the start of new year... it's time to dump away old stuffs and to look forward to new exciting days ahead, not forgetting to learn from the past mistakes and move on. Got the feeling 2010 is going be a great year.
