Blessed creature on earth

2009-05-11T00:21:00.003+08:00

4 months... It's my fourth month into job hunt...

Count it as a blessing or not...the story's not yet complete and I'm looking forward to it with an expectant heart

These 3 months I felt so blessed! One day in Feburary, I received a call from my aunt. "Aye Winnie, you want to work at my workplace? They're finding someone to do admin." "Hmm, are they recruiting part time or full time? Cos I'm still looking for a job that's related to what I've studied." "You talk to Eny (who is my current boss) directly okay?"

As I talked to Eny, I found out that she's recruiting a full time person but is fine with me working as part-time for the time being. She wanted me to work 5days but I bargained to 3days as I've event to handle at my previous workplace. She wanted me to work from 9-6pm but I bargained from 9-5pm so that I can leave early for cell and meetings. She wanted to pay me monthly but I requested to be paid bi-weekly. Not sure why at that point of time, I had the guts to bargain. That's so not like me. Well..it all turns out okay and so I got this part-time job. The story is not yet over...

I had a starting pay of only $5.50 per hour which is so far the highest pay that she has given to any of her admin assistant. Though it was kind of little but I thought it was still better to have a little allowances. Within 2 weeks, she rose my pay to $6 and within a month, she rose again to $7 per hour. Praise God! Such blessings only comes through him as I found favour in her eyes. Thank God that during the 2 years at SYFC I was trained to do things quick. It was through multi-tasking and doing things efficiently that impressed my boss and so the rose in pay.

The working environment was also good! Eveyone is so helpful to one another, hearing each other's problems, giving advices, teaching one another, buying food for each other..a doubly friendly environment and what more in an insurance company where agents fight for sales.

My boss is also a Christian so she will encourage me with her testimonies. It was so good to talk about God even at a secular environment. What encourages me most is to know that my boss is so discipline that she'll wake up early in the morning to do her quiet time before fetching her daughter to school. She be my role model for a mother in future. Though I am only a part-timer, she was also willing to realease me whenever I need to go for an interview and even enrolled me to learn a course coming week. How blessed am I! I guess I cannot find such blessings unless it comes from God. May God bless Eny and her family and this whole department! It is the best working place that I have been to so far!

Few weeks back, I received an internal email from my lecturer that PUB is recruiting and so I was called to recee the place the following week. Interesting word ya? Recee. Usually people will say that you can come down for an interview but not recee. It sounded as if they've intended to employ me. To my surprise, it was true. The person wanted to employ me already, however, the HR wanted me to go for an interview. Before that, I have to be shortlisted and before I can be shortlisted, I have to send in my transcripts. Now it's back to square one. Now I have got to wait.

Then last friday, AVA called. Finally, after 2 months. I am shortlisted for the interview coming wednesday. Though I have not gotten the job, I still feel blessed for the opportunity to be able to go for the interview. These opportunities are really hard to come by. But all I can do now is to be prepared and pray! Pray for me too if you could:)

'Be still, and know that I am God' (Ps 46:10a)

2009-02-09T20:36:00.003+08:00

'Be still, and know that I am God' (Ps 46:10a)

Lately I just finish reading this book called Radical Reliance by Joseph M. Stowell. What really spoke to me was this verse 'Be still, and know that I am God.' Being still to me was literally staying still and listening to His still small voice. I was wrong. The author explained that be still in Hebrews literally means to let go. I never thought about it this way.

To soar as an eagle above the storms, not only means to learn to wait upon the Lord and put my hope in Him. I have to learn to let go of the things in my life. ‘Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will your path straight.’ (Prob 3:5-6) God assured that we can trust Him with all our heart, not part of our heart but all our heart; not just some ways but all our ways. Therefore, just let go... strive no more for He is the only one whom we can always depend on.

As far as I can remember, I don’t think God has rebuked me before. Few weeks ago, I got reproved by Him a few times through QT and people. ‘Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But with gentleness and respect’ (1 Pet 3:15b). Truly, though at times I may be prepared but never fully prepared. As I mature in Christ, I had to learn to be more accountable in my walk with God - to always be fully prepared to give an answer to everyone. One that is glorifying to God.

I need to grow up. God help me!

A Brand New Year 2009

2009-01-03T00:52:00.000+08:00

2008 was a year of great expectations and happenings! I got so much to thank God for from the simplest thing like the breath of life..something that I learn not to take for granted! Everyday is a gift to me.

As this new year begins, I've decided to revive this blog! Revival! haha~

I've chosen the name pure clover...got this inspiration from the organiser that my supervisor gave me. It's really pretty! The whole blog also revolves around the theme: Clover

This year hopefully I can update my blog more often! like once a week?

I just realised something about myself. I'm not someone who can focus and I can't sit still!!! Oh no...Am I becoming more and more immature??? Argh..that cannot happen!

Therefore, I've decided to settle down to think, reflect and pen it down for the week using this blog.

Some of my New Year Resolution for the year2009:
1) Complete 6 out of 13 Books that my friend has given to me
2) Cling onto the verse in Isaiah 40:28-31 ~ Soar on wings like eagles
3) Help my cell members to grow in their walk with God
4) Be a good volunteer (at SYFC)
5) Be more Christ-like

A Good Story to Remember

2008-12-10T00:57:00.000+08:00

17-year-old Brian Moore had only a short time to write something for a class. The subject was what Heaven was like. 'I wowed 'em,' he later told his father, Bruce. 'It's a killer. It's the bomb. It's the best thing I ever wrote.' It also was the last.

Brian Moore died May 27, 1997, the day after Memorial Day. He was driving home from a friend's house when his car went off Bulen-Pierce Road in Pickaway County and struck a utility pole. He emerged from the wreck unharmed but stepped on a downed power line and was electrocuted.The Moores framed a copy of Brian's essay and hung it among the family portraits in the living room.

'I think God used him to make a point. I think we were meant to find it and make something out of it,' Mrs. Moore said of the essay. She and her husband want to share their son's vision of life after death. 'I'm happy for Brian. I know he's in heaven. I know I'll see him.'

Brian's Essay: The Room...

In that place between wakefulness and dreams, I found myself in the room. There were no distinguishing features except for the one wall covered with small index card files. They were like the ones in libraries that list titles by author or subject in alphabetical order. But these files, which stretched from floor to ceiling and seemingly endless in either direction, had very different headings.

As I drew near the wall of files, the first to catch my attention was one that read 'Girls I have liked.' I opened it and began flipping through the cards. I quickly shut it, shocked to realize that I recognized the names written on each one. And then without being told, I knew exactly where I was.This lifeless room with its small files was a crude catalog system for my life. Here were written the actions of my every moment, big and small, in a detail my memory couldn't match. A sense of wonder and curiosity, coupled with horror, stirred within me as I began randomly opening files and exploring their content. Some brought joy and sweet memories; others a sense of shame and regret so intense that I would look over my shoulder to see if anyone was watching.

A file named 'Friends' was next to one marked 'Friends I have betrayed.' The titles ranged from the mundane to the outright weird 'Books I Have Read,' 'Lies I Have Told,' 'Comfort I have Given,' 'Jokes I Have Laughed at.' Some were almost hilarious in their exactness: 'Things I've yelled at my brothers.' Others I couldn't laugh at: 'Things I Have Done in My Anger', 'Things I Have Muttered Under My Breath at My Parents.' I never ceased to be surprised by the contents.

Often there were many more cards than I expected. Sometimes fewer than I hoped. I was overwhelmed by the sheer volume of the life I had lived. Could it be possible that I had the time in my years to fill each of these thousands or even millions of cards? But each card confirmed this truth. Each was written in my own handwriting. Each signed with my signature.When I pulled out the file marked 'TV Shows I have watched', I realized the files grew to contain their contents. The cards were packed tightly, and yet after two or three yards, I hadn't found the end of the file. I shut it, shamed, not so much by the quality of shows but more by the vast time I knew that file represented.

When I came to a file marked 'Lustful Thoughts,' I felt a chill run through my body. I pulled the file out only an inch, not willing to test its size and drew out a card. I shuddered at its detailed content.I felt sick to think that such a moment had been recorded. An almost animal rage broke on me. One thought dominated my mind: No one must ever see these cards! No one must ever see this room! I have to destroy them!'

In insane frenzy I yanked the file out. Its size didn't matter now. I had to empty it and burn the cards. But as I took it at one end and began pounding it on the floor, I could not dislodge a single card. I became desperate and pulled out a card, only to find it as strong as steel when I tried to tear it.Defeated and utterly helpless, I returned the file to its slot. Leaning my forehead against the wall, I let out a long, self-pitying sigh.

And then I saw it. The title bore 'People I Have Shared the Gospel With.' The handle was brighter than those around it, seemed newer, almost unused. I pulled on its handle and a small box not more than three inches long fell into my hands. I could count the cards it contained on one hand.And then the tears came. I began to weep. Sobs so deep that they hurt. They started in my stomach and shook through me. I fell on my knees and cried. I cried out of shame, from the overwhelming shame of it all. The rows of file shelves swirled in my tear-filled eyes.

No one must ever, ever know of this room. I must lock it up and hide the key. But then as I pushed away the tears, I saw Him.No, please not Him. Not here. Oh, anyone but Jesus. I watched helplessly as He began to open the files and read the cards. I couldn't bear to watch His response. And in the moments I could bring myself to look at His face, I saw a sorrow deeper than my own.He seemed to intuitively go to the worst boxes. Why did He have to read every one?

Finally He turned and looked at me from across the room. He looked at me with pity in His eyes. But this was a pity that didn't anger me. I dropped my head, covered my face with my hands and began to cry again. He walked over and put His arm around me. He could have said so many things. But He didn't say a word. He just cried with me.

Then He got up and walked back to the wall of files. Starting at one end of the room, He took out a file and, one by one, began to sign His name over mine on each card. 'No!' I shouted rushing to Him. All I could find to say was 'No, no,' as I pulled the card from Him. His name shouldn't be on these cards. But there it was, written in red so rich, so dark, so alive. The name of Jesus covered mine. It was written with His blood. He gently took the card back. He smiled a sad smile and began to sign the cards.

I don't think I'll ever understand how He did it so quickly, but the next instant it seemed I heard Him close the last file and walk back to my side.He placed His hand on my shoulder and said, 'It is finished.' I stood up, and He led me out of the room. There was no lock on its door. There were still cards to be written.'I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.'-Phil. 4:13 'For God so loved the world that He gave His only son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.'

Amen.

holidays

2006-08-28T14:27:00.000+08:00

It's been quite a while since I last blogged! Well my exams were just over and now can say that I'm enjoying my holidays though I still have to go back to school like at least twice a week. Yea, got to buck up for my fyp. Tomorrow I'll be going to a Bible camp organised by YFC. It's a 3days 2nights camp. This is my first time going to a bible camp and I guess it'll be really fun!

My grandpa (my mum's father) had been in and out of hospital since last year. He had frequent heart attacks. Ever since he had been in and out of the hospital, he grew so thin that his bones were so obvious and the look from his eyes were so weak. My grandpa had changed so much within this one year, from being able to walk alot to needing people to help him around. Life is so unpredictable. But I also want to praise God that through this 1 year, my grandpa has gotten to know God more and is now closer to Him. To all brothers and sisters out there, I would really be grateful if you could pray for my grandpa's health and faith! Thanks in advance! :)

Yesterday, my aunt offered me champagne grapes. It's my first time tasting these grapes. It's really OISHII NE!!! Yummy! *drooling* Then my aunt said it only comes in this season. So i guess only during this season i'll enjoy only champagne grapes and for the rest of the season then I'll take other fruits. Bleh..crazy..

My church just celebrated its 50th birthday at Raffles Convention Center last last sunday. The performances and sermon were awesome! The food there were GREAT! Especially the winter melon soup. I never like to eat winter melon, it's only this time that I ate it. And it's really tasty. It's the best winter melon I've ever tasted so far! Oh yea, I've uploaded some of the pictures in friendster! Once again, HAPPY 50th BIRTHDAY, BETHEL!!! whooo~~~

This morning or rather midnight, Yufang messaged me. I knew something was wrong but still messaged her back and told her it's alright to call me. As expected it was true, something bad has happened. I know I'm not a good advisor but I still want to let you know that I'll always lend you my listening ear. I also don't how to solve your problem because I've never been through such hardships as you go through. But I really understand it's really difficult for you for times like this and I know you've always been very strong and continue to perservere alright because God is always there for you. Please don't place your hope on man even myself because humans always cause dissapointments and it'll only make you more miserable if you place all your hopes on them. I've prayed for you already, that what I think I can do so far. But if really need help just give me a call, remember my handphone is always 24/7 on! Thank God made me a light-sleeper so that I can pick up calls although I'm asleep. Haha~ Yufang, remember He will never leave us nor forsake us. Have faith! Everything will be alright in the end! :)

How M1 charge?

2006-06-13T10:49:00.000+08:00

My new M1 line shot to $41 when I actually thought I only had to pay about $20plus this month.

I went to Paragon M1 customer service line with Andrew on sunday and found out how they actually charged. I had to pay so much was because I'm paying for the next month's bill also. (Actually I don't like the idea of paying the bills for the next month, it's like paying double for the month but that's only for the 1st month). Another reason my bill shot up was because my outgoing calling time. It exceeded... ...

Thanks to myself and my friends who left voice messages or who didn't put down the phone until they heard the 'beep' sound for recording. Lol. Erm, I'm not blaming anyone here so don't be afraid to call me. Anyway I've already cancelled my voicemail. Haha~

Okay this is how the system in M1 works. Any voicemail that your friends leave for you, it'll be counted as part of the outgoing calls. The more voice messages you get regardless if there's really a message or not, it'll still be charged to your outgoing calls.

An advice: If there's really not a need to have voicemail access, cancel it. It'll be worst if during the night when you switch off your handphone and all your friends will be diverted to the voicemail.

Peak hours (9am-9pm) are charged at $0.20 per minute and $0.02 per 6 seconds thereafter. Off-peak hours (9pm-9am) are charged at $0.10 per minute and $0.01 per 6 seconds thereafter. I usually used my handphone during the peak hours so the actually free outgoing calls of 150 minutes is reduced to about 70-75mins instead.

Many people say M1 cheat people money and always overcharged, actually it's not the case if you know how to calculate. I also failed to ask properly how it was supposed to charged when I get my new line. I was just looking forward to get my new handphone and hurry get over the registration procedures. After getting the bills, then got a shock out of my life and start to blame M1 that they overcharge and want to cheat my money. Haha~ After consulting the customer service officer, Reymond Kwek then we got to know the truth. Anyway Reymond was quite a polite person and explained everything slowly even when we didn't get it a few times, he explained until we got it. I gave him a good feedback form and also a GEM thank you card! :)

In the end, I cancelled the Bye Bye ringtone which doesn't sound nice at all, the MMS saver and of course the voicemail.
Let's see how next month's bill is... ...

Mercz showroom - WCP

2006-06-11T01:42:00.000+08:00

Just came back home from work. And it's 1am. Another tiring day. These past two days, I've been working in the Mercz Showroom in Alexandra Road as a buffet waitress. There were about 350 people coming here to watch the World Cup Premium in the showroom and there were only about a total of 10 waitress walking around to serve them drinks and clear the plates and glasses. Sounds easy? To tell you the truth, it's easy but tiring. Cos' we have to walk to and fro to take orders of the drinks and then clear the plates. The plates were heavy, some of the glasses were not easy to balance b'cos of its height. The tallest glass was about 20cm high.

Yesterday, started work at 7pm and ended at 3am. Goodness! At first, Jenna told me 1am so I thought it was okay. Argh...cos next morning I got a meeting at Emmanuel House at 9am. So next morning, I was kind of "seh" already. When I got home after meeting, it was about 12.30pm. Actually wanted to sleep after lunch, but in the end I watched a dvd with my dad. No need to sleep already. Bathed after that and went off to work again. Today starts a little earlier. 5pm.

Glenn Ong from Class95 was still the host for the event. First time see him in real life. Yeah, he's really tall and big size. Handsome? hehe. MediaCorp and AXN came down today to do some interview today. I observed how rich people react. They are totally immune to cameras! When the reporter asks them questions, they don't hide themselves or try to shut off the reporter. They really can poise themselves well and answer like a professional. Although it's just some World Cup Premiere, they still dress very nicely. At least polo tees and pants, no t-shirts and shorts. One more thing, they all can drinks lots and lots and lots of beer without getting DRUNK!

Oh man, I'm tired! Whole body aching especially my back, my arms and my feet! Who can help me massage? Anyway think my arm strength is getting more powerful each time I go work. Can even see the little mouse. Haha! But my feet like abit blue-black and blister. Maybe I should listen to Andrew and get a more comfortable court shoe.

Already spent about 45mins typing this short entry. LOL! Tomorrow got to wake up at 8am to prepare to go CHURCH! Yipee! So better end here.

20 Dollars Per Hour

2006-05-01T22:28:00.000+08:00

20 Dollars Per Hour

The man came home from work late again, tired and irritated, to find his 5 year old son waiting for him at the door.

"Daddy, may I ask you a question?"

"Yeah, sure, what is it?" replied the man.

"Daddy, how much money do you make an hour?"

"That's none of your business! What makes you ask such a thing?" the man said angrily.

"I just want to know. Please tell me, how much do you make an hour?" pleaded the little boy.

"If you must know, I make $20.00 an hour."

"Oh," the little boy replied, head bowed. Looking up, he said, "Daddy, may I borrow $10.00 please?"

The father was furious. "If the only reason you wanted to know how much money I make is just so you can borrow some to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, then you march yourself straight to your room and go to bed. Think about why you're being so selfish. I work long, hard hours everyday and don't have time for such childish games."

The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door. The man sat down and started to get even madder about the little boy's questioning. How dare he ask such questions only to get some money.

After an hour or so, the man had calmed down, and started to think he may have been a little hard on his son.

Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that $10.00, and he really didn't ask for money very often. The man went to the door of the little boy's room and opened the door.

"Are you asleep son?" he asked.

"No daddy, I'm awake," replied the boy.

"I've been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier," said the man.

"It's been a long day and I took my aggravation out on you. Here's that $10.00 you asked for."

The little boy sat straight up, beaming. "Oh, thank you daddy!" he yelled. Then, reaching under his pillow, he pulled out some more crumpled up bills. The man, since the boy already had money, started to get angry again. The little boy slowly counted out his money, then looked up at the man.

"Why did you want more money if you already had some?" the father grumbled.

"Because I didn't have enough, but now I do," the little boy replied.

"Daddy, I have $20.00 now. Can I buy an hour of your time?"

2006-03-27T23:48:00.000+08:00

okies..it's been about a month I haven't blog! sorry guys! Last week was a busy week for me cos' mon got test and wednesday got mid-term exam. Next week will be my final exam at Jurong Island already! So happening at my attachment place. But it's a freaking long blog, mind you! Hehe~

Last week, we managed to climb a 15-storey high distillation column with our safety goggles, helmet, gloves and safety shoes only. No safety harness! It's a monkey ladder which is vertical. This distillation column got 9 platforms so not that bad. At least we get to rest at every platform. When we reach the top of the column, it's super windy and SHIOK! Got a sense of achievement! Hehe~ Most exciting thing is that you can see so many people's initials at the top of the column. Some even wrote some love messages to those they secretly like at the top of the column. Ain't that cool! Haha~ Brought home some bruises after so much of climbing but now okay already.

Also, one of our trainer got scalded but hot condensate last week. Think there's some miscommunication between the trainer and the control house which caused so much condensate to accumulate on the ground. Cos' it's hot steam so it also creates lots of smoke making the vision of the area unclear. As the trainer wanted to close a valve, he unknowingly stepped into a pool of hot condensate which is more than a 100 degrees Celsius. From what I've heard, the trainer still calmly walked away while his leg was already red. After that he was admitted to the hospital. He just came over to train us only a few days ago. So poor thing! This is the first time something like that happen in our plant.

Got back my exams results last wednesday. Got 3As, 2B+, 1B and 1C+. This time did improve! From a GPA of 3.0 to 3.4 but still can do better! Must put in more effort this coming semester! I'm not sure of I should still continue with my Japanese III. Cos' I'm afraid I won't have enough time to do my Final-Year-Project (FYP). I also feel like giving up my post in my CCA. What do you all think?

Yesterday went to East Coast Park with my poly frens. They taught me to blade which I don't think I can. Actually won't fall down but the hump on the road made me fell. Aww...my butt and back still hurts. My other friends also fell down quite a few times but they are a lot better than me. Worst thing is I made my friend fall. Cleon said he never fall before while blading but this time I made him fall. Erm, actually is not I made him fall is just that he called me from the back so I thought he going to hit until me so I just run. In actual fact, he wanted to hold onto me so he won't fall. I didn't hear properly so in the end, "Pomp!" Hehe~ Not I purposely want lah..

After my first fall from blade, I changed to bicycle. Hehe~ Zoom~ off I went from MacDonald's to Bedok Jetty. Super shiok!!! Even saw the bright orange sun really like what people usually described as egg yolk. It's so nice and relaxing standing at the jetty looking at the huge orangey sun stuff in between two blocks of building several kilometers away. I'll upload to my friendster to give you see! Hope can go with you all to East Coast Park to ride bicycle went you all are back! It's really fun!!!

My left eye is swollen right now, can't even open properly. It was already like that since saturday. My mum said probably it's my contact lenses which are dirty that made my eye swollen but I did rub it before and after I wear it. Hope my eye can hurry recover than can wear contact lense. Cos' at the plant I'm working, we have to wear safety goggles, so it's more comfortable to wear without spectacles rather than 2 layers.

Hehe~ First time write such a long entry. Will continue to update! Got to sleep already, tommorrow have to wake up and work again. God bless! :)

NERD test & T.H.E

2005-12-11T01:08:00.000+08:00

Okies! Time for some update! Next week going to have FOUR tests. 2 on wednesday and 2 on friday. One report and one assignment to hand up this coming week also. What a hectic week!

Anyway, got bored and happen to saw the Nerd test from Mavis's blog. Here's my nerd score:

What does this mean? My nerdiness is:Not nerdy, but definitely not hip.

Oh well...so in the midst of all the business, probably you want to try it too!

Tomorrow's going to meet my Primary school form teacher, Ms Ang. That day called her and talk to her about my E-learning business and she's quite interested. So tomorrow I will be going down to meet her.

T.H.E website: www.the-teamwork.com/?nj10008winnie

It covers ranging from pre-school level to primary school level to secondary school level and even to adult courses and we got 300 of them! Lots for me to learn! And it's idoit-proof! Just right for the not so hip and not so nerdy! Lolx

Just started this small business for nearly a month. It's really a young business! So still got lots to do, and I'm going to do it well in the coming year! If your friends and family members are interested in this program or even the business, feel free to contact me at weene85@yahoo.com.sg! It's a new and innovative way of learning! :)

Going to M'sia

2005-10-11T16:12:00.000+08:00

Another tiring day! Since class chalet didn't have enough sleep. Didn't sleep that night so next morning have to go home and sleep. On my way home, almost fell on the bus cos' there were no seats and have to stand all the way home from Pasir Ris. Tried to keep myself awake but kept on dozing off while standing. Finally, a few bus stops before my bus stop, had a place to sit then doze off again and knocked my head on the seat. Super embarrassing...

Friday night got Insomnia, night event oraganised by Youth for Christ, from 11pm all the way to 6am. Went Lim Chu Kang Cemetry, Labrador Park, Kentdrige for Cheese Prata (not bad lah..but super expensive) then last stop is Mustafa. Had games and food..was a fun experience! But didn't have sleep cos' went I reach home was already 8plus 9am. Then got to meet up my PolyForum friends to interview the electronic shopowner on how he start-up this business and stuff. After the interview, went home to type out the key points of the interview and have to rush to work at Carlton Hotel. Worked all the wat till 11pm then released. Had supper with my relatives and returned home at 12plus. Finally can sleep at 1plus. ZZZzzz...

Today had to go Nee Ann for the opening ceremony of the PolyForum. Have to wear formal. This is my first time wearing a blazer and court shoes. Really dislike wearing heels or court shoes. Now got three blisters, two bruises, two swollen toes and one aching big toe. Actually my whole body is aching, my shoulders too. Haven't recover from carrying the food and drinks during the banquet. Argh...

Alrite, got to sleep already. Have to wale up at 5plus cos' need to reach school at 6.45am. Yup, will be going to M'sia for three days. Will miss u Dear and Xiao Mei! Take care! God Bless! :)

Carlton Hotel

2005-10-10T17:00:00.000+08:00

Just came back from work. Got a part-time job from my cousin. First time working in a banquet at Carlton Hotel, not Ritz Carlton Hotel. Had no training, had to learn everything first hand. The captains there are real fierce.

Today went to register in on time but was late for the reporting time. Thought that I'll have a pay cut but luckily they're quite lenient with me. But no more next time. Heez..it's a tough but fun job, got lots of things to learn and that's something that attracts me! Anyway, now my whole body is aching especially my foot and my right arm. Wore court shoes around whole night, not used to these kind of shoes so now my whole foot are aching. I don't really know how to serve so can only serve drinks and clear plates so far. The jugs of drinks are like super heavy, carry till my hands are shaking. Think must buy dumbells to practise. Andrew say he has dumbells, 3.5kg want, think probably can borrow and practise. Haha~

I'm now superly duperly tired. Totally drained. Tomorrow morning still got to wake up in the morning to prepare to go to school. Got to go Nee Ann Poly for the opening ceremony of the PolyForum. Then, night have to go for tuition. The following day which is also a tuesday, I'll be going to JB for 3 days. Alrite, my eyelids can't take it anymore, got to sleep! Nitez everyone! :)

October holidays here!!!

2005-10-03T15:21:00.000+08:00

October holidays here!!! but then again, another packed holiday...

Tomorrow have to go for presentation but before that have to go my grandma house to pass her fish then afternoon have to go school already. Tuesday meeting my cell groups kaki for dinner and then cell group. Rest of the weeks still have to go interview an electronic-selling entrepreneur and class chalet! Yea..this month got so many October babies...my brother, Weili, Yu Fang, Gary...

Right after exams, around half of our class went to Chinatown's kbox to sing from 2-8pm! cool eh? Really enjoyed myself there! Then also realised that my class guys can sing quite well!!! iidesu ne!!!

Yesterday went Nee Ann Poly for the launch of the Poly Forum. Yea around 300 students in the 5 polys met up! But then still don't really know anyone from the other polys. Even my own school group I don't know everyone, so don't even have to think about the rest of the 240 people...lolx!

Got 5 sub-themes and mine's Building Our Economy.

Sounds boring? At first I thought so but it's kinda cool actually! We meet up Charles Wong from Charles & Keith during one of our discussion. Really admire him! Worked in his mum's shoe shop after his O levels studies, after NS, he's 22 and then started Charles & Keith! Bought one pair before New Year. Within 8 years, he's already earning 40million!!! Might think he's an old chap but oh no...he's like still kinda young and quite handsome, guess around early 30s...

I mentioned so many times about him to Andrew from yeaterday to today, think he also listen until 'fan si ren le'!!!!!! Sorry Andrew... :P

Today after going church, Andrew and I went to meet Aaron, Li Jun and Yong Sheng. Aaron treated us lunch at Cafe Cartel, the food there was not bad, bread and butter were free-flow. I had Grilled Chicken and was not bad, then we also ordered Seafood platter which was such a big serving! All of us went out feeling really really bloated! Lolx..

Went home and had my dinner at 8 plus, after watching the korean movie, The Way Home! Really nice show..very very touching! Can borrow this dvd in the school library..got time can go watch and remember to prepare at least a pack of tissue..haha!

GOOD NEWS GOOD NEWS!!!

2005-03-30T16:30:00.000+08:00

GOOD NEWS GOOD NEWS!!!

My dad just received Chirst on Good Friday!

Friday morning, got up at 7am. Set off to Choa Chu Kang cememtery to visit my ah gong and my second aunt. The night before made two windmills which I've always been forgetting to make for the past few years. Yup, one for my ah gong and another for my aunt. Good Friday morning was rather a different morning this year. I'm not sure, it's just different! We went to visit ah gong and gave a few bows and cleared the weeds. There are like two little angels statue on my grandfather tomb. One is rather in a crooked position, so my Dad wanted to put it back into the right position. But then it is glued fix to the tomb, and yea my Dad forced it straight and broke the little wing of the angel. Guilty may be how Dad was feeling then. Then he took down the number of the marble contractor to make a new one for my ah gong!

Good Firday service was at 10.30am and I was really afraid I couldn't make it in time. Moreover, I didn't invite my parents to this church service this time. Cos' that time I quarralled with my parents over some church stuff so don;t dare to ask. But surprisingly, my whole family when to the Good Friday service! I was praying and hoping the whole while that my parents will open their hearts and receive God. I was turning my head in my parents direction the whole while during the alter call. Just then, my mum called me!!!

It wasn't my mum who wants to go for the alter call but my DAD! Whooooooooooooo!!!

I couldn't do things only by my own strength but only through Holy Spirit! Holy Spirit must be in our midst since we were in my Dad's car to my ah gong place to the church!!!

Angels celebrate and rejoice when one is born again, i.e. to receive Christ into out hearts!

2005-03-14T15:12:00.000+08:00

Today attended the Sunday Service at church!!! the speaker for today was very powerful..He's Ps. Henry Hinn! He's from Israel n knows Israel, arab langauage and aramic(don't know if I spelt correctly)...Jesus Christ speaks aramic too..so he knows totally how to interpret the Words. Moreover, he lives in the culture same as Jesus Christ last time. They do not express themselves much in words like we do but in the tone of the words they speak..wonder if you understand.

Anyway, he was a man filled throughly by the Holy Spirit and emphasized alot that we need to live in the Holy Spirit so that we can be drawn to Jesus Christ who can then bring us to his Father. However, the Holy Spirit is not an 'it', he has a personality and character too..so don't ever 'grieve'(hurt) the Holy Spirit. Often we get what we want from the Holy Spirit but then after that we ignore him. How bad is that!!!

Ps. Henry Hinn could foresee that one member in our church has great work to do in the future for God's Kingdom! Never heard something so powerful and real before. Also he has the power of healing...he could sense that someone in our church has a tumor and he healed him..our senior pastor's wife was said to be healed by this wednesday..I look forward to this good news on Sunday! and he can even heal people that are barren! How wonderful is that!!!

Today's church service was also the longest..lasted almost 3 hours and we gotta cancel out CET classes. Everyone was so blessed by Him! And I'll learn even more to follow the Holy Spirit! :)

Oh yah..Andrew passed me the Fish Leong Karaoke DVD today!!! So happy!!! haha...more to my collections! Weeeeeeeeeee...hehe!

Dad wanted to order pizza..so had the opportunity to 'makan' it..so long didn't eat already! So nice..and mum cooked dessert today..green bean soup!!! WHooPeEe!

Today: +++++++++++ hoho!

These quotes are taken from test papers and essays submitted by students in high school and college on science and health.

1) When you breathe, you inspire. When you do not breathe, you expire.

2) H20 is hot water, and CO2 is cold water.

3) When you smell an odourless gas, it is probably carbon monoxide.

4) Water is composed of two gins, Oxigin and Hydrogin. Oxigin is pure gin. Hydrogin is gin and water.

5) Three kinds of blood vessels are arteries, vanes and caterpillar.

6) The moon is a planet just like the earth, only it is even deader.

7) Dew is formed on leaves when the sun shines down on them and makes them perspire.

8) Mushrooms always grow in damp places and so they look like umbrellas.

9) The tides are a fight between the Earth and moon. All water tens towards the moon, because there is no water in the moon, and nature abhors a vacuum. I forgot where the sun joins in this fight.

10) To keep milk from turning sour, keep it in the cow.

Anyway, think I show this joke to a lot off people ler..but never mind..I'll display it once againz!!! Real funny..haha!!!!!

A man wanted to run for office as mayor. He was told that to get the votes, he needed to go out to the villages where most of the people lived. So he went out to a remote village. The village chief gathered all the people together to hear him.

"If you elect me as your mayor, I will dig a well for every family."

"The people looked at him, and said, ‘Oom-pah-pah."

Not knowing what that meant, he continued, "And if you elect me, I will bring electricity to every home."

The people looked at him, and said, "Oom-pah-pah, Oom-pah-pah."

"And if you elect me, I will build for you a school, a clinic and a football field."

The people shouted, "Oom-pah-pah! Oom-pah-pah! Oom-pah-pah!"

And so it continued. The speaker made his election promises and the people shouted at the top of their voices: "Oom-pah-pah! Oom-pah-pah! Oom-pah-pah!"

After the rousing speech and the enthusiastic response, the speaker felt very good, and decided to call it a day.

The chief invited him to his house for a cup of tea. As they walked towards the chief’s house, they passed some cows standing around. The chief said to the man, "Be careful-do not step on the oom-pah-pah."

Joke of the Day

2004-10-28T07:34:00.000+08:00

JOKE OF THE DAY

One day an evil witch took over the forest, ''One-by-one, all of you useless animals have to come up here and tell a joke... if everybody laughs, you will be spared... or else I'll cut off your head!''

The monkey went up first and told such a funny joke that all the animals laughed except for a tortoise.. so the witch cut off his head.

Next, a giraffe went up and she, in turn told a joke that set all the animals off laughing... but still, the tortoise did not laugh... so the witch cut off her head.

Then, the rabbit went up... but before she could say a word, the tortoise started laughing...
''Why are you laughing you stupid tortoise?'' the witch asked.

''The monkey's joke was very funny...'' was the reply.
