New Factor, New Phase

Alot of things have been happening recently, so much that i think i've got to pen it down.

Well, first or all church has a new cool place just for hang outs. Nice informal place to invite pple down to sit, chill, catch a movie and reach out to pple in a much more personal way.

Its been quite awhile since i last stayed home stoning on a Saturday. Well i did that for quite a while cause i was feeling grumpy. And yes, i have let myself be irritated by very slight issues. There are some stuff which bothers me alot. Like I don't like to miss calls, cause it gets me all jittery. Its a super tricky issue! Cause i am a lazy person who does not like to carry my handphone around. And i am so upset that i miss a very important call 13 times!!!!! Will somebody please provide me a solution!

My mother is a special person in my life. Sometimes she bugs me (for my own good she claims) and other times she just overly sweet (till sometimes i wonder if its a dream). Come Monday is her 54th birthday. I've got her pressie months back and now i'm just procrascinating in doing up the birthday banner for her. Its hard to get things done when u're slump at home. There's this new phase coming up in her life. Whether its good or bad i'm not too sure. But i'll try to be as supportive as i can.

Work environment has changed drastically. It's hard to walk around without bumping into a chair. I don't know. Sigh* It's just hard for me to accept such changes. Maybe its just me.

I so wanna go out today. I kept asking my sister let's go out. It's 8:30pm ad i'm still at home. I want to go out for a breather... but Gary is like in Brisbane and... having coffee with Unicell. So i know i'm blabbering right now. Just hope that i won't blabber away till he gets upset with me later.

I think i really need a holiday. A 2 day breakaway period would be great... oh... the urge of getting that MC is so tempting. Will somebody please wake me up!!

The never ending issues and problems of this world

The above pictures were taken during the bintan mission trip that i went. It was a very thought provoking trip for me.

3 cheers to desert. A very sumptuous yummy desert one could take comfort in. Hmm.. all that sweetness just takes ur mind off those troublesome issues in life.

Haha.. yes... there's nothing like sharing a lovely break and chilling out with a couple of friends. Hope to catch up again with them some time soon!!!

A day slightly better than usual.

got a SURPRISE email today. Gary emailed me this really encouraging email. Was feeling down but was reminded of the love of God. It perked me up and got me going faster than usual. Thanks dear.

I finished worked quickly. And was happy to leave work earlier than usual. Dad picked me up from office to home. Kinda hit me what a lovely dad i have. Like hey i'm 22 and i'm working and my dad stills fetch me home. Like i'm blessed to have a dad. And consider the times where my mother brought me to eat at restaurants and pamper me with clothes and everything i ever need. Thank you ma, thank you pa.

Because everyday is a fresh new experience... we have to always depend on God for guidiance

Timely advice, gentle reminder

Good news, i have survived the week that was w/o colleague C. Commenting about work, i feel i'm more confident with what i'm doing. Just pray i'll stick to the job and follow through each and every procedure. Today is slow moving which provides a great opportunity to ask myself afew questions, evaluate and make the change.

I dunno about all my other friends working out there like how are they doing cause i don't have much interaction with them. It wasn't like the past where we all lived in close proximity. I miss Uni friends alot. Wish i can talk to them some time soon. Boss has been pretty harsh with her performance evaluation and, as this was my first i was deeply hurt by what she said. It could have been phrased better with more human understanding. Harsh as it is, i will take it and pray about it. There are things to be thankful about even at a time as such for a job, colleagues who hear and church friends who comfort.

Working brings alot of issues with regards to money. It's a sensitive issue and requires lots of understanding and discipline. Right now where Singapore economy sets to look bright by many financial consultants, many do not flinch when it comes to investing. Be it the property market or the shares market. Many are eager to cash in and be part of the hype. I too have fallen victim with me realising my headaches and many times even heartaches are drawn from financial issues. All that hype took charge of my thinking and perspective, forgetting that many pleasures in life will never be earned with monetary gains. Friendship, trust, respect, love from family, knowledge, time... etc. The timely advice and gentle reminder from pastor made me ashamed. Though i cannot assuredly say i am now changed, i have to say its a constant reminder and struggle for me to stay more human, and vigilant to what is being echoed by the media and the majority.
