Unexpressive boyfriend?

2009-12-19T12:12:00.006+08:00

Recently, my baby had been really sweet to me... His little little actions and the way he called me really moved and touched my heart!~~~ Well I guess this should start off by saying he's not really a expressive person? Someone whom doesn't say "I miss you" or "I love you" often like some others guys might. Well this is something that got me awhile to understand and accept as my boyfriend previously was very much of a expressive one.

In order to accept this little fact, I learnt to pick up the little things he does for me, his way of showing he love and care for me. Bit by bit I learnt to accept my baby for who he is. I told him, I believe that no one stays the same and know that one day he will learn how to be more expressive in every way. Hehe!~ Ladies first basic need AFFECTIONS!~ That is one thing that really keep the ladies to stay in love their guys. =)))

Baby!~ You are awesome and special in many ways!~ Be who you are and get BETTER!~ Wahaha!~ No one wanna stay the same...

P.s although you said, you are just doing the way you feel like it, I pray that even one day you don't feel like doing/saying certain things, you would make a decision to do it. =)))

Not the perfect one!~

2009-12-01T00:38:00.005+08:00

Every time I attend a wedding many thought will cross my mind. Things such as whom will be the one I marry. How would my life be after me being married? I wonder if I should be afraid or looking forward to getting married. WAHAHA!~

Oh well I used to looked forward but when things happened, the thought was shoved aside. It was well hidden until recently the urge of wanting to get married came back. After been through so much... I learnt that there's no a perfect HIM. But is how you wanna accept for who he is.

Some of you might hate me for saying this now; for not giving myself to realise this before it's too late but somehow I guess everything happen for a reason. After everything that had happened, give yourself a pat on the back and say everything gonna be alright and I am ready to move on again. The worst thing that can happen in life is you are always stuck at the very same position.

Now that I am with him, I really wanna work everything out with him. Yes, he's not the perfect one, may not even be every girls' kind of Prince Charming but he's the one I choose. Someone who is not only my lover but my best friend. Someone whom I can share my thoughts, someone who listens to me and understand why I say certain things when at times I don't even know.

Someone who doesn't judge me, someone who teach me to look at things from all angles. Someone who pampers me but not spoil me, someone who gave my life a whole new experience that I never had before. Yes, I am in love, so in love...

I pray for the best for the both of us... =)))

Yes we are the ~!*K & P*!~

I gonna love my car more

2009-08-11T15:09:00.003+08:00

It's the beginning of my block leave officially. I went for lunch with my parents and went home to watch Half Man, Half Tree with my dad. After the show I simply fall asleep on the sofa; as usual hee... However, I woke up when I heard my dad wanna go wash car. Ok this is one thing that I wanna do during this block leave ok.

Well I don't wanna be someone who only know how to use but not how to take care. I admit until now I am still learning to maintain my beloved car by having the good driving habits but still... Haiz... As I wish the car I feel so happy after it's clean and shiny but when I saw all the scar that I gave to the car, I was guilty and heartache. Sobz... My dad doesn't seems very pleased but well, I will make extra effort to be extra careful ba...

Many things came to my mind when I was washing the car and seems like there's so many things I am looking forward to. I just pray that God will make a way for the things I am looking forward to. I really wish all the things that I hope will quickly come to past; hopefully everything on my birthday but I know there isn't much time left... Well I gonna leave everything in the hands of God; the safest of all.

Lord I thank You for everything that you somehow let it happen and I learnt from it and the wonderful things that are yet to come. I love You.

On this special day you are being ...

2009-08-03T23:22:00.002+08:00

02 August 2009, CHC's 20th Anniversary... It was a really wonderful time I had at the indoor stadium. Throughout the whole 2 services many things and memories came to my mind and one of them was the 16th Anniversary of CHC.

I recalled that time was the first time ever I invited you to church. Afraid of being rejected, I really hesitated to pop that question. However, with the peace of God, I finally asked. Elated I was when your respond is a positive one, and then I realised you truly love me.

On the 16th Anniversary and was our 3rd month anniversary then mark a significance meaning to our relationship. I never deny our relationship was almost perfect and everything seems so planned by God. However, things wasn't always fall into place as we expected.

Nevertheless, I will never forget this special relationship we had and whatever the future may be I thank you for everything you had done in my life that makes Annabelle Heng today.

God bless you like never before...

PRAISE THE LORD!!!

2009-04-11T21:30:00.005+08:00

PRAISE THE LORD!!!
I finally got my driving licence on the 30 March 2009. I'm so proud to say i got my licence on my 21st year on Earth wahaha... Well it's just making my 21st year more meaningful only. Come to think of it, many things really happened on my 21st year on this Earth. Really a lot a lot, including the goods and bads...

Through the past few months, I really learnt a lot of things and also come to realise many things which I did not take notice before. Meeting with different people really change my thinking and my attitude. I guess life is all about learning and accepting the changes that happen in life.

All this while I really wanna thank God for always with me; without Him I guess I would have gone crazy or what hehe.. I am looking forward for greater things to come my way.

Love Busters

2009-03-22T11:19:00.006+08:00

Love is an intense feeling, in a marriage couple will either fall deeper in love with each other or fall out of love. There's no such thing as neutral gear. Our emotions are constantly checking on our Love Bank. A person’s account increases/decreases in our Love Bank is by the things they do to us. When an account increases over the mark of the “Romantic love threshold” the couple is now ready to get married. =D However, only in a marriage the both of them would really see the BEST and WORST of each other.

What is true love?
*1 Corinthians 13:4-7 (New Living Translation)
4 Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud 5 or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. 6 It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. 7 Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.

歌林多前書 13:4-7 (Chinese Union Version (Simplified))
4 爱是恒久忍耐，又有恩慈；爱是不嫉妒；爱是不自夸，不张狂， 5 不做害羞的事，不求自己的益处，不轻易发怒，不计算人的恶， 6 不喜欢不义，只喜欢真理； 7 凡事包容，凡事相信，凡事盼望，凡事忍耐。

However, the effects of love busters are Abusive, Controlling and Habit pattern.

In a marriage, it will take out the two sides to a person; a “Giver” and a “Taker”.

Attributes of a Giver:
- I will do whatever I can to benefit you even when I am unhappy.
- Love unconditionally.

Attributes of a Taker:
- I will do whatever I can to benefit myself even when you are unhappy.

3 different stages of marriage:

Intimacy – the love feeling is so intense that both of you will do anything just to make each other happy. =)
- Giver
- Love

Conflict – the love feeling went down and both of you just want take what you want just to make yourself happy.
- Taker
- Fights

Withdrawal – the love feeling is no more there and because of you are tired of fighting already, you both just decided not to be bothered about each other and live a separate life.
- Taker
- Give up

6 Love Busters

1) Selfish demands (abusive and controlling)
1 Corinthians 13:5 (New Living Translation)
5 or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged.

“Policy of Joint Agreement”
Never do anything without an ENTHUSIASTIC AGREEMENT between you and your spouse.

- When you are enthusiastic means you are happy to do; it will help increase love units in each other’s Love Bank account if both of you do it.

So instead of making Selfish demands you should make “Thoughtful Requests”.
Thoughtful -> Considerate, you think for the person
Requests -> Ready to accept “no” as an answer.

2) Disrespectful Judgments

“Respectful Persuasion”
- Love your neighbor as yourself.
- Allow yourself to be persuasion back.

3) Angry outburst

- Angry outburst aims to PUNISH!

How to deal with Angry outburst?
a) Acknowledge
b) Recognize
c) Policy of Joint Agreement
d) Avoid Love Buster 1 and 2

- Never lose your temper on your spouse

This is the end of the CARE part of the whole relationship series of our beloved Pastor Kong Hee. He will be continuing to share on the PROTECT part. This is where how couples can protect their relationship against affairs...

So far I learnt a lot during this period of time, it really impacted me especially when I am able to relate to them. I guess this is all part of growing up ba. We learn things the most when problems come. We learn to treasure when we lose them or knowing that we are losing them. Through all the things that we go through, we learn and become stronger. Don't fall and sit there, fall and stand up again. We all make mistake, just learn from them and don't repeat...

2009-02-22T22:24:00.013+08:00

5 Basic needs of Man and Woman (continue...)

- in order to relate, you need to talk to each other
- no communication = no relationship

- on average Man speaks 15000 words a day
- Woman speaks 30000 words a day

What do Man talk about?
- practical things

For Woman
- If you love me, you talk to me
- If you talk to me, it means you love me

Why do we have to converse?
- To converse is to meet each other needs (couples need to come to a point that they have mutual interest in order to spend quality time together.

*Phil 2:4
4 Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others.

腓立比書 2:4
4 各人不要单顾自己的事，也要顾别人的事。

- be interested in what the others are interested in.

*Col 4:6
6 Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one.

Woman
#3 Need of woman Honesty and Openness
- when there's no trust, there's no love relationship.

Man
#3 Need of man Attractive Spouse

*1Sam 16:7
7 But the LORD said to Samuel, “Do not look at his appearance or at his physical stature, because I have refused him. For the LORD does not see as man sees;[a] for man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.”

撒母耳記上 16:7
7 耶和华却对撒母耳说：不要看他的外貌和他身材高大，我不拣选他。因为，耶和华不像人看人：人是看外貌；耶和华是看内心。

- wives, your husbands are not God.

Things to take note to stay attractive:
a) weight control
b) make up
c) hairstyle
d) clothes
e) cosmetic surgery
(if there's really a major flaw)

- physical attractive is making the others happy when they see you.

Ps: Man gets turned on by what they see (video people) on the other hand, Woman gets turned on by what they hear (audio people).

Man and woman are meant to be attracted to each other. For woman, if her man gives her constant showering of affection, even how nice other guys may treat her, she will not be attracted to them. Woman are very vulnerable, for them, the constant showering of affection from her man is a protective covering for her not to fall into temptation. As much as they wanna stay committed to their partners, we cannot deny the fact that there are always better and nicer people around that will meet their needs. So guys, as time goes by you all may get too familiar with each other, and will tend to forget how you used to treat your gal, you can forget everything I say but just remember one thing.

COURTSHIP IS FOREVER EVEN SHE'S YOUR GIRLFRIEND OR EVEN YOUR WIFE.
NEVER NEVER STOP COURTING HER. =)

Hi all some may not know but I failed my traffic police test. Oops. Hahaha... Ok I guess I am either too confidence, the tester is too strict or simply different people expectation is different. I was taught to be super careful and gentle in my driving by my instructor but the tester seems to be those that want me to chiong. Wahaha I admit I was bit careful in certain areas and I am determined to take all the comments and improve on them.

Currently, my retest is on the 30 Mar 2009. Yes and this time I TRULY TRULY BELIEVE that I WILL MAKE IT. Please keep me in prayer especially this period of time that I will not forget what I have learnt ok? Thank you guys very much...

My thoughts and feelings when I learnt that I felt my test...

I was devastated. It was as if I was thrown to the deepest sea; LOST. However, with the grace of God I picked myself up and stood on my feet again. In additional, my friends and family are being very supportive and encouraging. Even though it makes me feel like I have disappointment, I choose not to think that way.

Through this experience, I truly know who the people I can rely on are. I am truly thankful to have people like them in my life. I thank God with all my heart for always be there for me.

Welcome to 2009

It’d been a month plus since my last post. I have been very busy (as usual) with work. We were busy with the implementation our new project. It was an experiential occasion where I was full involved in the whole event. Although it is tiring, we need to stay late and be in office early, the company is enough to put us through. Of course my God played the biggest part.

Through this time He proved to be faithful and gave us the strength, bad things do happen but we just pulled through by His grace. During this period, I was not able to accompany my dear much and the time we enjoyed BEST was the Asia Conference! It was a life changing experience.

The atmosphere of Faith was so thick in the air that even the sky collapse we can all support and lift our hands in praises to our God. It is the Best time of all.

During the event we did a life saving thing that is to donate blood. =) Hehe…

Wonderful 2008 and as Pastor always say a even better 2009 ahead!~

Pinic at East Coast

2008-11-05T17:20:00.008+08:00

Pinic at East Coast

To back track a bit, dear and his family, my brother, and his youngest uncle's family went to East Coast for a pinic. Early in the morning, Guang and I went to dear's house before going to the park. Although the weather looks threathening and did rain a little, I thank GOD that when we were at the park there was NO RAIN!~ Praise the Lord!~

We had a wonderful time together cycling and eating. =) it had been years since I went for a pinic. Still remember that time the first time when I went with my family. Time really flies, I am glad that the second time I went was with dear and his family.

Here's a few pictures that we took.

Dear and Guang ride this double bike with me infront cool huh hehe. As we wanna find cheaper bike rental which was quite far away hehe...

Here's when we are walking back after returning the bike from the other side. See my dear' sexy back lol...

Gosh they have sand castle building workshop there. =)

I was a wonderful day, though tiring. Dear and I went Bugis street to shop a bit for his friend birthday present. =) The day ended well...

Praise the Lord! Let's Arise and Build.

2008-11-05T16:58:00.008+08:00

Praise the Lord!
Let's Arise and Build.

Even before I started giving for the Arise and Build, I was already blessed. On 27 October 2008, dear and I finally got the chance to watch movie. Oh yes we watched the Musical High School 3. After the show he accompanied me to meet

my aunt and went back to meet his parents for dinner.

Ya we are celebrating my ah gong's birthday at the House of Seafood @ 180. Well the food there only so-so. What is nice is the CRAB only. Yummy hehe...

After a wonderful time eating and spending time with my relative, we went to my 2nd aunt's place for more fellowship and seeing her VCDs/DVDs/branded bags!!!

When I stepped into her condo I remembered the last time I went. Come to think of it, time really flies, as it was 3 years back when dear, my relatives and friends gave me a suprise birthday 18th birthday. =)

Thanks my sweet dear dear and everyone who went. =)

When we finally went to my aunt's room, she brought out her collect cupboard by cupboard lol. First was the VCDs and DVDs.

Second BRANDED BAGS!!!

One of the bags caught my attention. It was a bit like the one she bought for me the other time for my birthday (which I rejected cause I do not like the design though it's COACH) hehe. This time I really like this a lot. And my aunt just gave it to me, I don't think she used it already haha... Below a glimpse of it. =) It cost more than $400 which cost more than what she wanted to give me initially.

Thank GOD!~

ALL THE BEST JOEL!!!

2008-10-25T10:32:00.003+08:00

This week was rather ok for me as I was able to go back almost on time. Thank God.

On Thursday 23 October 2008, we had an official farewell party from N161 to JOEL. Time really flies. It had been 3 years plus since he joined us. Praise without him was really weird. For the past few CG without him seems quiet, without his voice the CG just feel WEIRD.

His unique laughter and actions will never be forgotten. Indeed YOU have made a DIFFERENT in N161. Thank you for remembering the little things that we say or do, it was really thoughtful and amazing of you. Like what Dorcas said, you had really grown from the way and word you speak.

A REALLY BIG THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING YOU HAD DONE.

We will ALWAYS REMEMBER you. ALL THE BEST IN EVERYTHING YOU DO. And JIA YOU for your upcoming exams. =)

Last but not least HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO KING MAN KOR (23 Oct) and
YONG LIANG JIE FU (25 Oct).

Just some thoughts, some flashbacks

2008-10-21T23:26:00.006+08:00

Just some thoughts, some flashbacks.

Time really flies... It'd been months since I went Switzerland. I really miss the snow and cooling or rather cold weather there. I want see snow again! Hope the next time you are beside me when I am in the snow. I really wanna share the joy I had.

I am captivated by the beauty. You never know how beautiful is this until you are in touch with the nature. Indeed our God is creative. How I wish I could roll on the snow. So far I only lied down haha.

This bird with some others just stood there though you are standing VERY CLOSE to them.

This is taken in Genting. A place where we went after my trip to Switzerland and yours to Hong Kong. This is also the 1st trip we had staying over in the other country. Very nice experience and wonderful time spent.

I don't know when I can ever go overseas again, I just wanna thank God for wonderful earthly father for bringing the family out whenever possible. Really blessed!~ (If I am free I would count and name all the places I went.) =) I love my dad but of course my heavenly Father for placing me in this family.

I LOVE YOU!~

I WANNA GO TO MANY OTHER MORE COUNTRIES!~

Can I have 2 more of myself?

2008-10-19T13:38:00.002+08:00

Work continues to get even busier than ever. Now, not only I want to have 48 hours a day, but rather 2 more of myself so as to do 3 different things a one time. I am taking a deep breath now.

Thinking through what to do first, led by the spirit after praying in my heart, I felt better while in the mist of having things pouring upon me.

I managed to get my things done instead of getting frustrated by the emails and smses sent by my boss.

Thank God for guiding me, giving me a calm mind, wisdom to get my job done.

He is GREAT!~
How can I live one day without You? I NEVER WANT TO.

I am seeing...

2008-10-15T22:03:00.003+08:00

Wow... I am greatly satisfied with the photos I posted earlier on. =) Although I don’t think anyone see it yet or they simply DIDN’T tag me. Hump! Haha...

These few weeks had been really busy. Been going home at 8:30, 9:30, 10:30 and even once 1:30am. Oh my gosh. That’s tiring... Really sorry my dear that I have been spending lesser time with you due to work. I promise after this project roll out, we go on a DATE k? As you said before a REAL DATE. Haha...
Today I managed to get of work early though didn’t manage to go at 5 as I “Take 5” today, due to my younger brother’s birthday. But still earlier than normal haha.

We went for Crystal Jade as requested by my beloved brother. Thanks to his craving haha.. But I am glad he was satisfied. =) I had free lunch, now and then I would have free food haha... So I should also bless others rather than always being blessed.

Just few days ago, I saw my colleague’s payslip by accident and was inspired to study University. But the problem is I am still not quite sure what I should study. A lot of people think I should study business but I don’t mind IT also. The only thing is that I don’t quite like the working hours.

Just pray that God will lead the way.

2008-09-28T21:54:00.003+08:00

Oh man time really files... It had been more than a month since I last updated. As you all know I was busy planning my birthday stuffs in August and my beloved Ivan’s birthday this month.

Work had also been quite a lot for me this month. Projects after projects; still learning hard to adapt and get use. Times seem never enough. How I have 48 hours a day. Of course not everyday cause I will be too tired then.

Many things happened these 2 months. Many are wonderful and I am really blessed and happy about it. But you know, life is NEVER smooth sailing. At times, things may go against you, people may not understand you. And worst of all it is when you do not know how to express yourself.

Worried that you may hurt the people, hearing things making one confused is AWFUL!~ The matter of fact the truth is never nice to hear.

Man I wonder where I am heading. Guess this is just a random post. After so long, I am lost in my thoughts haha.

Well I wanna take this chance to thank everyone who came to my birthday in August and though some were not able to come, you still make the effort to get the presents here, honestly I am very touched and blessed.

A BIG THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU!~

For those who came for my beloved’s birthday party at my house, THANK YOU VERY MUCH to make the whole event happened. Without your support, I don’t think everything could go on so well. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!~

These 2 months really been happening hand wonderful, but I guess it’s time to pack my feelings and get serious about my future le. =)

THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR SUPPORTING MY BLOG ALSO haha... So glad I’m missed lol. Sorry if I was not able to drop by your blog. I will try ok? Tagged me so I know. =)

For WOMEN =)

2008-07-20T11:32:00.009+08:00

For WOMEN =)

The Silent Treatment
A man and his wife were having some problems at home and were giving each other the silent treatment. Suddenly, the man realized that the next day,he would need his wife to wake him at 5:00 AM for an early morning business flight.
Not wanting to be the first to break the silence (and LOSE), he wrote on a piece of paper, 'Please wake me at 5:00 AM ' He left it where he knew she would find it.The next morning, the man woke up, only to discover it was 9:00 AM and he had missed his flight. Furious, he was about to go andsee why his wife hadn't wakened him, when he noticed a piece of paper by the bed. The paper said, 'It is 5:00 AM. Wake up.' Men are not equipped for these kinds of contests.

WIFE VS. HUSBAND
A couple drove down a country road for several miles, not saying a word.
An earlier discussion had led to an argument and
neither of them wanted to concede their position.
As they passed a barnyard of mules, goats, and pigs,
the husband asked sarcastically, 'Relatives of yours?'
'Yep,' the wife replied , ' in-laws'

WOMEN'S REVENGE
'Cash, check or charge?' I asked, after folding items the woman wished to purchase.
As she fumbled for her wallet I noticed a remote control for a television set in her purse. 'So, do you always carry your TV remote?' I asked.'No,' she replied, ' but my husband refused to come shopping with me,
and I figured this was the most evil thing I could do to him legally.'

UNDERSTANDING WOMEN
(A MAN'S PERSPECTIVE)
I know I'm not going to understand women.
I'll never understand how you can take boiling hot wax,
pour it onto your upper thigh, rip the hair out by the root,
and still be afraid of a spider.

W O R D S
A husband read an article to his wife about how many words women use a day...
30,000 to a man's 15,000.
The wife replied, 'The reason has to be because we have to repeat everything to men...
The husband then turned to his wife and asked, 'What?'

CREATION
A man said to his wife one day, 'I don't know how you can be
so stupid and so beautiful all at the same time.
' The wife responded, 'Allow me to explain.
God made me beautiful so you would be attracted to me;
God made me stupid so I would be attracted to you!

WHO DOES WHAT
A man and his wife were having an argument about who
should brew the coffee each morning.
The wife said, 'You should do it, because you get up first,
and then we don't have to wait as long to get our coffee.'
The husband said, ' You are in charge of cooking around here and
you should do it, because that is your job, and I can just wait for my coffee.'
Wife replies, 'No, you should do it, and besides, it is in the Bible
that the man should do the coffee.'
Husband replies, 'I can't believe that, show me.'
So she fetched the Bible, and opened the New Testament
and showed him at the top of several pages, that it indeed says ..........'HEBREWS'

God may have created man before woman,
but there is always a rough draft before the masterpiece.

I was blessed once again...

2008-07-20T11:32:00.007+08:00

I was blessed once again...

Monday 14 July 2008, My big boss treated our whole team to lunch at Laguna National.

Tuesday 15 July 2008, Rowena treated me 'Yuan Yang' hehe.

Wednesday 16 July 2008, one of my colleague; Rommel treated the team to Soul Garden because he was converted from Agency Contract to Perm staff.

Friday 18 July 2008, we had a Goodwood durian feast. One of my colleague bought this durian puff. Nice...

I bought for myself below. A sweet reward lol. And of course I bought a 1kg durian cake and 20 durian puffs with hazelnut for dear's and my family to eat.

Sunday 20 July 2008, went out with my flowers and bought this for myself. Long waited white heels. Sorry Charles and Keith I really wanted to buy that pair of shoes but it's too expensive for me. i can buy 2 MORE shoes for the price of your one haha.

Tuesday 22 July 2008, it was Rommel's birthday and Louise bought all of us muffins from Hans. Sorry I ate the cheese one before I was able to take photos below is chocolate chips and some nuts thingy. And I ate 2 (one cheese and one chocolate chips oops). Happy Birthday Rommel we were really sorry for not able to buy real cake as we were all VERY BUSY. =S

Great time...

Thank you for His grace

2008-07-19T18:09:00.005+08:00

Thank you for His grace

Another week had passed, a week that was indeed challenging for me. My beloved was unfortunately hospitalized last Sunday due to sharp pain in his gastric. It happened when we were about to go out for dinner with his parents. Seeing him in pain really hurts me a lot. Knowing that I can’t do anything but just to be there make me feel so helpless. Fortunately, God was with me (and always is). I kept praying in my heart that He will take away the pain or at least make the pain still bearable for him.

That night, I accompanied him to take jab, X-ray etc. Seeing him like that make me feel… Oh well anyway that night I left the hospital having his dad to send me home.

The next day, I went to the hospital to see him straight after work. Thanks to Dorcas, Mel, Joel and Brendan for accompanying him during the afternoon. Work had been quite ok for the first day but still bit tiring though.

I met up with Edmund and went to see my dear and Li Ping came after that. After the entire visitation, his dad sent him home again. I just pray that God will take great care of him.

The entire week was tiring mentally and physically. However, I just wanna thank God for the strength for His grace.

I was BLESS ONCE again but...

2008-07-09T21:02:00.002+08:00

I was BLESSED AGAIN but…

Oh yeah after lunch I am there once again recommending my colleagues to subscribe the FJ discount card. And this is what Marnie and I said, if you save 50 cents a day, $2.50 a week, $10 a month, you WILL SAVE $120 A YEAR!~ Oh my gosh haha. Although we don’t eat there every day but THIS IS HOW MUCH YOU CAN SAVE WHEN YOU PURCHASE THAT $2 DISCOUNT CARD. =)

Then we headed to Popular as Marnie needs to buy the BIG SQUARED notebook for her kid to write Chinese hehe. Rowena too buy a notebook to keep her child’s progression. SWEET MUMMIES!~ And guess what I helped them save 86 cents in all haha feel SO GOOD!~ Cause dear’s Popular card is put into good used as I decided to RENEW so as to BLESS.

Oh ya, Rommel my other colleague also went to Popular to buy CDs for his child, my team is filled with GREAT parents in short, and I helped him SAVE $5.99 wahaha and of course now and then they need it. I JUST FEEL SO GOOD.

Anyway after buying stuffs from Popular, Rowena treated Marnie and I to STARBUCKS COFFEE!~ We had a great time together chatting. =)

However I learnt about something and felt kinda cheated haiz. Felt awful so I went home early today. I guess it’s time for me to take a rest before moving on…

Thanks to my dear for listen to me. Let me pour out haha. Thank you.

I am so BLESSED; ALL THE WAY UP!~

2008-07-06T21:17:00.007+08:00

I am so BLESSED; ALL THE WAY UP!~

Of course that’s NOT ALL FOR MY BLESSINGS… I always leave the BEST last wahaha. 好料在后头。=) On weekend of first week of July, dear and I went to Hokkaido fair and we had a nice time shopping and eating. He bought a really nice biscuit for my family. =) Then we tried the Japanese crepe at the basement and it’s not bad also. We ate takoyaki and did some shopping before going back to his house.

When we were shopping, I felt really 高兴 when he keeps asking me what I want. I think he is really enjoying buying things for me hehe. But well, this week he didn’t cause I don’t want as there’s isn’t anything I REALLY LIKE. Not even the shoes that I thought IT WAS REALLY NICE at Charles and Keith, ya after taking a close look. Although a little part of me still wants but I guess I should not waste such money.

For dinner this week, we had it at White Sands the Wan Chai Hong Kong Café. If you ever been there you will know why I LOVE IT SO MUCH!~ Dear and I shared the Curry Chicken Baked Rice with CHEESE and it was YUMMY!~ 简直太好吃了！I WANNA GO THERE AGAIN!~ Not only that I also like the dessert. IT IS JUST VERY NICE!~

After that wonderful dinner, his mum and I accompanied him to the interchange then we went to Tampines mall to shop since there isn’t any goldsmith that his mum wants shop. At Tampines mall after shopping a few goldsmith, we ended up at POH HENG!~ Wahaha I guess you must be guessing what I am being blessed again le ba.

OH YESH!~ I WAS BLESSED WITH MY FIRST 21st BIRTHDAY PRESENT. WONDERFUL!~ His mum was literally bringing me around to find something I like so she can buy for me. MY GOSH SO LOVED SO LOVED!~ THANK YOU AUNTIE!~

Anyway now you should know why I AM BLESSED and WAS BLESSED ALL THE WAY UP le ba. Hehe.

Food and Flower..

2008-07-06T21:17:00.003+08:00

Well how should I start? I guess I shall back track a little. On the 2 Mondays 23 June and 30 June. I was once again blessed with lunch by my boss Tony. =) On the first Monday, we had lunch meeting and we had SUBWAY!~ Hehe. I love the COOKIE hehe well a bit not right but the sandwich is just far too big for me to finish.

Then on the second Monday, we also had lunch meeting since it will be a weekly thing for our team. We managed to have an hour meeting and the whole team except Marnie(resting at home) went Ramen Ten for lunch. I would say it’s not too bad being the first time there.

Then on the first day of July every lady from the Teck Huat (our big boss team) received a rose on their desk. =) It was a surprising sweet thing to see early in the morning. Just heard that it was the second time he did that. It was a very nice gesture to encourage the staffs also haha. Sorry guys. From this I guess no lady would not like to receive flowers; at least for me may be also it is at the office my mum won’t nag haha and another thing is not how long the flower can last but it that very moment when you received it that makes it different. Anyway that’s about the flower thingy.

Next, on the second day of July, we got MUFFINS from Famous Amos from boss Louise and we ate it as dinner my gosh it is BIG and FILLING. It will be nicer if you eat it warm. =)

But of course for almost everything that you are blessed by your boss, for ONE thing YOU KNOW FOR SURE is that YOU MUST WORK EVEN HARDER!~ Haha. And yes I have been working really hard; going home at 09:30pm was a norm thing for me now. It will be really BLESSED if I got to go home at 06:30pm which hardly possible unless I sneak away haha (which is quite impossible as it is not showing a good example also haha).

I am SOOOO PAMPERED!~

2008-06-25T21:21:00.016+08:00

I am SOOOO PAMPERED!~

Oh my gosh, another weekend had just flew passed. This week was indeed a VERY FRUITFUL WEEK!~ I had a rather relax Friday as my colleague is not around; the one I worked most closely to and my boss wahaha. Yeah! I can go off early. Oh well, this day, I was actually looking forward to go CG, however, somehow, there’s still part of me that did not want to go. So what’s that? Actually was me having driving lesson on Saturday morning 7.30am :S and CG hardly ends early haha. The thought of going home late kinda turn me off as I was afraid I might not be able to concentrate on driving the next day; waste money.

Anyway that’s aside, cause, I still went off at about 6.30pm and rush my way there. ^^ No more second thought and just get my ass there wahaha. When I reached the MRT, I just got the feeling that I will meet someone I know from CG and true enough, guess who I met at the bus stop? Hehe. The newly married LI PING!~ We had a good chat while on the way to Dorcas’s house. I managed to talk to her about the plans Ivan had and I was kinda excited haha. I guess I wanna see myself in that princess like gown ba.

When I was at Dorcas’s house, I had a nice chat with Mel and Brenda too. And we had combined CG this day. Oh my gosh so many younger people in the other CG haa. Noticed that I used the word younger? Hehe, this is just because I am younger and they are just younger wahaha. We had a great time in the presence of God and I felt SOO REFRESHED!~

Li Ping taught us about being a close friend to others and how to choose close friend. One question that she asked caught me thinking. The question goes like this “who do you consider your close friend now?”. This question was on my mind just recently as I remembered a few months backed when Dorcas taught us something about friends when we just started having connect groups. And once again it caught me thinking.

Ok exclude Ivan and God who is the other friend that I consider a close friend? After having a so called list of requirements, I guess God just reminded me by putting a picture in my mind and at that very moment, I almost cried and everything turned clear to me yes she’s the one. However another thing that makes me wanna cried is to know that I may not be her close friend. Haha. Well I guess I have not been a really close friend to anyone and being interested in others is something I lacked ba. I guess this will be something I MUST work on it.

After CG, the drama put up by the people who went to the youth camp was great, and also the short discipleship haha. I RAISED BOTH HANDS FOR DORCAS TO TALK ABOUT THAT WAHAHA. Oh well that day, Ben was being a really good brother to send me home. Thanks. ;) I was really thankful I went CG, cause I felt even refreshed than before. I was almost not able to sleep haha.

The next day I woke up early for driving lesson and I PRAISE and THANK GOD for giving me the STRENGTH and CONCENTRATE throughout the whole lesson. I guess morning lesson is still the best for me. Everything went well just forgot some stuffs here and there, over all still good cause the uncle never really scold me and gave clearer instruction after the last lesson which was once again horrible wahaha anyway since it had already passed I shall not talk about it. I am just looking forward for my other lesson and pray that I will remember what I had learnt. ^^

After the lesson, I rushed to the dental and praise the Lord I need not wait too long and was able to take the shuttled bus to Raffles Place to take the train to Tampines to meet my BELOVED BABY wahaha I am so happy to see him again. After accompanying home to put his stuffs, I wanna thank his mum to do the laundry for him so we can go out early. Thanks auntie hehe.

This week dear treated me to JACK’s PLACE!~ Yummy nice nice. The food is nice; the service is good or rather almost excellent. I just enjoyed the time spent there and I guess I was really hungry, I almost finished the whole place my gosh. My dear was amazed too haha. When we finish the wonderful lunch we are on the way to church. =) THE MESSAGE WAS GREAT!~ THANK YOU PASTOR TAN wahaha. For those ladies who went shout PRAISE THE LORD & THANK YOU PASTOR TAN!~ Hehe. I guess we were all in the same flow.

This day was really GREAT!~ We went dinner with dear’s parents and was not late cause thank God Zhi Ming drove us to the MRT instead of having to take bus. Thank you Zhi Ming.

What a long day for me to think that I got less than 7 hours of sleep the night before. Thank God.

Another day had past and today is the book in day =( 1 and a half day just flew passed like that. Thank God we were able to watch the movie Get Smart and before that buy some comic books from Kinokuniya which is having 20% discount for member. =)

The movie Get Smart was nice and mainly funny I would say. You all should catch it one of these days before its gone hehe.

Once again I am truly blessed this week although I found out that the meal at Ding Tai Fung with my colleagues previously was not a blessed meal, I was even blessed by the gifts/presents I received by my dear and his mum.

Oh my gosh his mum bought me the swimming suit that we saw almost 1 year ago and was not able to buy because of the condition and ever since, she was going around to look for it for me when I already don’t really mind not having it. SO SWEET of her. Furthermore she bought the star earrings to go with the pendant she bought for me previously oh my. (She even wanted to buy me a bracelet for me at Goldheart when she wins lottery haa.) My gosh I felt so pampered by these words and actions she said and did.

Furthermore dear bought me 2 pairs of earrings just before booking in at White Sands. Oh my gosh it is like every week I got something from him and his mum haha and also his dad for always bringing us around to eat. I really have to thank God for such a wonderful parents my beloved has.

PRAISE THE LORD!~ I CAN NEVER DO THIS MUCH IF WASN’T YOU.

I LOVE YOU!~

Dear Jia you, you can do it, another week will just past at a blink of your eyes and here I am before you once again haha. We will see each other soon. God please bless him with GOOD HEALTH. AMEN!~

BEST PART OF THE DAY WAS NOT JUST THE PARTY but…

2008-06-25T21:21:00.015+08:00

BEST PART OF THE DAY WAS NOT JUST THE PARTY but…

BEING ABLE TO MEET MY BELOVED DEAR DEAR AGAIN!~ His wonderful parents brought him to Pasir Ris Park to fetch me. The moment I saw my dear I suddenly felt relieved. IT’S SO GREAT TO SEE HIM AGAIN. Not just seeing him again but seeing him doing GREAT.

His parents left as alone to walk around and chatted. It’d been really hard on him but THANK GOD he made it through. I felt a change in him and I felt happy for it was for the better. After hearing what he experienced, I felt bad as I can’t be there for him physically but dear don’t worry I WILL ALWAYS BE THERE FOR YOU SPIRITUALLY, MENTALLY AND EMOTIONALLY. I will keep praying for you and I believe God hears my prayers and answers them.

He will watch over you. He will always be there for you, giving you the strength and encouragement you needed to go on. REMEMBER HE WILL NEVER FORSAKE YOU!~

Throughout these 2 weeks, I have realized what an important role you played in my life for the past 3 years. I was SOOO depended on you even the smallest thing you can imagine. Well it was also an alert that I should really learn to be independent once again. I can’t let you worry. It’s really hard for you in there and I guess that’s the least I can do for you so you can concentrate and do well.

THANK GOD FOR PUTTING YOU IN MY LIFE. THANK GOD FOR EVERYTHING YOU DO. I AM SO PROUD TO HAVE YOU AND PROUD OF YOU!

Last but not the least, I WANNA THANK MY BELOVED DEAR DEAR for BUYING THIS LOVELY BAG THAT CAUGHT MY EYES. MUACKS!~ I LOVE YOU MY CUTE CUTE DEAR DEAR AND CONGRATGULATE TO YOU FOR LOSING 2.5 KG. Well please don’t stress yourself too much, just do you BEST ok?

I WILL ALWAYS SUPPORT YOU!~

BEST TECHNOLOGY DEPARTMENT

2008-06-25T21:21:00.001+08:00

BEST TECHNOLOGY DEPARTMENT

On 20 June 2008, my whole department was invited to the CrossWater at Pasir Ris Park for a time of GREAT FUN!~ Having just joined the bank for less than 2 months I am already felt SO BLESS! Through their hard work, we got the BEST TECHNOLOGY AWARD and were rewarded $10,000!! Yeah hoo!~ Therefore the whole event at the WaterCross plus gifts and prizes was worth that much.

The atmosphere was great for parties and dating. As it was by the beach, you can enjoy the sea breeze if ya sitting outside under the coconut tree. Wahaha romantic right? The door gift that was given was the voucher of CrossWater I guess I shall bring my beloved there within the next 2 months =)

The food was delicious and the price was about Swensen’s I think according to my friend who saw the menu. Just that the place is a bit inconvenient for those without cars haha as it was right inside.

During the whole event, we got games and were entertained by the PROFESSIONAL MC wahaha that one of my colleagues got. The first game was the so-called 7up and I was sabotaged. Man though I played it quite a number of times but how the MC played it was different. So I was OUT by the 3rd time I said wrongly. =( Haha but that was fun. Other than that we got skid by my colleagues directed by that MC, the super heros game.

After the whole dinner, I stayed a bit longer because my boss Louise wanted to dance. Oh my gosh and she dragged me along. And this is the FIRST time I ever did something like that. Later on, Marnie and Rowena and the few others joined and we had fun for awhile.

I am so blessed with FOOD

2008-06-12T22:47:00.025+08:00

I am so blessed with FOOD

Haha as you can see from my title for the post. Oh well guess what I am blessed with. Okok I know food, but what food haha. Well.. I WAS BLESSED WITH DING TAI FENG THIS TIME hehe. Actually I wasn’t really sure if it is a blessed meal, it is always good to thank the Lord for every little thing.

Since I have not paid for it yet, I AM BLESSED with it. I really had great time spending with my Filipino colleagues. They are really nice and I enjoy being with them. Ok I AM DETERMINED to LEARN TAGALOG. It is always good to learn a new language, after all learning language comes with practice; you can’t possibly be talking to yourself, you need people around you to talk to you. So I am trying to pick up. At least went I still cannot managed to go for my Korean lessons; I am still learning another language, enriching myself.

I thank God that Brenda returned my call last Friday evening. Actually I was not in a very good emotional state. Ok I miss IVAN SUM a lot. I felt a bit lost when he is not around, this day especially. At first I was not sure if I should go for CG, something pushes me when I remembered I gonna be alone at home if I go home early, yet there’s still part of me that don’t mind going home.

I worked till 8pm and while walking towards the bus stop, I was still considering. I give Brenda a call but after one ring I hung up, as I still not sure if I should just go. On the way I thought to myself, the more I am feeling weird, the more I should go as I was reminded, never run away from Godly people in times like that. Another thing was if she calls back, I will go. Ya I was trying to find whatever I got to convince myself that I should go.

Yes finally the entire struggle, I went. I am glad I went. Not only I was accompanied, I got to eat nice pasta prepared by Ben, celebrated Richard’s birthday and ate the YUMMY cheesecake with chocolate chip baked by Ben. Oh man IT WAS YUMMY!!! Dear talked to the CG and somehow I felt touched haha. Haha I steal this photo to let my dear see it.

Anyway I am counting down to meeting you again my dear. Let’s Jia You!~

5 More days…

I AM SO BLESSED AND LOVED!~

I went to Ivan’s house today to visit his parents. When I reached his house, his mum just said I got something for you, since you are here; I do not want you to go back empty-handed.

In my heart, I was like aiyo why spend money and not that I was there to take anything right? However this reminds me of whatever you sow you will reap. Wahaha. His mum gave me a very beautiful. As you can see from the photo, it has some design around the heart and here what she explained:

“All these are not flowers, it’s diamond, and they make it look like diamonds so don’t be mistaken to be ‘hua xin’.”

Haha his mum is so cute. Well I really like the pendent from his mum; however, I am still looking forward for a very beautiful nice diamond necklace or whatever from him. After all I don’t really feel good accepting gifts from his mum especially these are not cheap things haha.

After his dad finished worked, he brought us for dinner at Bedok as I wanted to eat satay. I really left loved by his parents. VERY VERY LOVED AND BLESSED indeed. I really thank God for such a wonderful parents of his.

GOD PLEASE PLEASE BLESS THEM 100-fold in return.

2008-06-12T22:47:00.021+08:00

14 June 2008

Thank God for FRIENDS!~

2008-06-09T21:49:00.007+08:00

Thank God for FRIENDS!~

Last Friday, I had a hard time going to sleep. Images of the past having my dear with me flash through. The thought of knowing that he could not always be there waiting for me like in the past make my tears roll down uncontrollably. That night, I cried myself to sleep, praying hard in my heart to find peace in the Lord.

Indeed God took care of the smallest things of us. I slept really well and when I woke up, I found myself smiling. It was as if God is there smiling at me like I was doing. My heart was light and I just feel happy and cheering on the inside.

God is real, He bring HAPPINESS, JOY, LOVE and PEACE into our HEARTS. For this I know I can still stay strong when he is not here. (I must not let him worry.)

After my advance theory test (failed), I was disappointed yet not very upset (surprising). A successful man is not someone who never fails but NEVER GIVE UP!~ This was what’s in my mind, not just that, I also thought “if God allows it to happen, He surly has a reason for it”. For every bad thing never blame the Lord. It is because through trials you can be stronger.
I know God has already plans His way ahead for me.

I met up with Brenda for lunch at Causeway Point before meeting the rest to go to church. Her company was really great. I was feeling really HAPPY the whole time. Nothing’s burdening me, nothing that I am worried about. His peace was with me. His grace was sufficient for me.

For in His word He says in
2 Corinthians 12:9
And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

I had a great time before, during and after service, fellowship was great though we really played lame games haha. Just being with them make me HAPPY wahaha.

Thank God for all of you.

Thank God for He is here with me always.

Last but not least, I have not forgotten you my dear, I may be enjoying but I STILL MISS YOU. So be rest assured hehe.

Good bye my love please take GREAT care

2008-06-05T19:15:00.014+08:00

Good bye my love
please take GREAT care

This day has finally came; the day dear gonna learn to be a MAN haha. I managed to meet him in the morning despite feeling uncomfortable. Thank God that He gave me the strength to allow. Although I could not take leave to accompany him I thank God he is not angry with me. However I did not manage to go to work as I was down with diarrhoea. Haiz. I was suppose to not let him worry.

After meeting him, I went to see the doctor and went home to rest. Thank God that everything went well for him and he will booked out on the 20th June. I will be praying for you. I will be waiting for you. I will be missing you lots.

I believe you will always be spiritually here with me. I thank God for the bonding in the spirit. Yes. Without it I guess I can't be so strong after all. Thanks for the post in your blog. Thank you my dear.

God please let You divine protection be upon him always.

Changed Attitude Changed Mindset

After all that had happened, I finally realized what was wrong. He said “I don’t feel that you are enjoying your driving lessons, unlike Jocelyn who I can really see she is enjoying herself”. Ya this statement just hit me on the inside. Questions like why and I going through all this and finding it so hard was simply my attitude and mindset was not right from the beginning.

All I could think of was I am tired after the whole week of work. I need more rest. I can’t focus. I want to do better than the others. Time after time stress was all I am giving myself and yes convinced myself that I was still afraid of moving vehicles. The feeling of not able to control the vehicle really freaks me out.

However after hearing the word yesterday, I have decided to change my thinking and really leaning on Him. (It had been really hard for some reasons and I was crying out to Him.) This night, I prayed myself to sleep, seeking peace and rest in His presence.

I woke up in the morning in a cheerful and positive way. If you ask me what I did oh well, I simply smiled to myself, telling myself everything is possible with God and prayed for His strength and guidance. Another thing was I kind of practice how am I going to greet the uncle later. It was because a smile can brightens someone’s day especially in the morning and as a Christian I was supposes to bring joy to the people around me. Well I just hope it is still not too late for me to realize how important and how it can really make a different in someone’s life.

HURRAY after making sure my mood and emotions are in good condition, I went down prepared how my driving lesson. :)

I greeted the uncle as how I practiced it and everything went kind of smoothly. I did not panic easily as I left my fears with the Lord. I made minimal mistake as compared to the previous lessons and though the uncle do not know how to praise people, I knew I was progressing by the number of time I was ‘scolded’ wahaha.

The whole time was enjoyable and that’s the word ENJOYABLE. It was a wonderful feeling or rather experience as learning how to drive is no longer a chore but something I enjoy doing it and I know the money I am paying for is for something of value. (I used to have heartaches when I pay.)

This day, I went home with a smile and the joy I experience could be expressed by words but the smile of mine from ear to ear even my elder brother find me a bit crazy haha as I was kinda jumping, hopping around wahaha how silly I am.

Through all this that had happen, I REALLY NEED TO GIVE A BIG THANK YOU TO THE LORD and the word given that ENLIGHTENED me.

I WILL PRAISE THE LORD ALL MY DAYS!

I wanna love my job more!

2008-05-15T21:22:00.006+08:00

It's the second week of work and I got blessed with another Swensen lunch with almost the whole department or division haha pai seh don't know what's the different but anyway I got to know more people. I also realised that there are quite a number of believers there haha but they are mostly Catholic.

Work was kinda good I guess. I am beginning not to dislike lots of text. Although it sometimes really tire my eyes out. I am still working on the menus hope it will be well done are I am following the old version instead of looking at the excel file haha.

Gonna finish it by tomorrow so I can start doing other things.

Jia You ANNABELLE! God is with you.

Word/Picture that was given, A vision Refreshed

2008-05-10T22:46:00.005+08:00

Yesterday when I was in the office I thought to myself, since I was called to work here, I should just do the best I can and excel in the things that I am doing. As many know that I am in my IT programming skill. I was kind of determined and really wanted to do well. I just feel something is burning on the inside.

In the evening when I was in the PG, Li Ping kind of confirmed it. She gave a word like "do not be afraid of limitation". Yes Limitation and Afraid are the words I guess. As many things is happening, limited by the time is something frustrating me as I wanna learn driving and the only time I had was Saturday morning. (Afraid that I may not have enough time, may not be learning fast enough to save money and the advance theory test.) And the other is to be able to do well in work and be a blessing to the people around me as mentioned earlier.

She also told me that she saw a picture of my preaching the word to a group of people. I still remember quite some time ago, I saw myself preaching to a group of people when my brother was praying for those who are called to be a leader (cell group leader etc). At that time I was confused and didn’t know how yet went to be prayed (just in case I am really called).

It had been awhile and the vision seems to go further away from me. It got even further when I kind of stopped giving Brenda bible study. I still remember those times that I gave her bible study, I would say I really fine joy in doing so. It builds up my confidence and draws me closer to God.

I guess I should build up that closest again with God ba. Somehow I really miss Him.

God's blessings is upon me

2008-05-09T17:49:00.007+08:00

Firstly, being the first day at work on Monday, I am already so blessed. I was given a laptop to use (although it’s not the newest but to think that some people who work longer than me do not have, I guess it’s really cool). Then I was treated to Swensen for lunch. Wah first day only wahaha. God really didn’t just bless me with a job but also our daily needs; food.

Secondly on my 4th day of work, I was caught in the traffic jam. I was so afraid to be late and prayed really hard that I can reach at least on time. Thank God for not forgetting me and answered my prayer. I was in the expressway by 08:30am and reached exactly at 9am. I was caught in the jam and the entire journey was almost an hour.

Finally Ivan brought me to Jack's Place to celebrate our 3rd Anniversary. It is YUMMY! Besides that what really amazed me was that he made MILO Tiramisu for me/us. As it was our 3rd anniversary, he said that it is OUR birthday haha and decided to make that cake. Really thank him for making the effort to make it. It is really yummy. Can I ask for more lol.

The Lord never leaves us.

Upon returning from Genting, I received a unpleasant news about my granny; she fell and knocked her head. However, I would like to thank God not because she fell and hurt her head (bled), through this fall she had a thorough check up and realized her bladder was infected and it spread to her blood which causes her pain.

The cut on her head was a small one. Mum was saying luckily it bled, if it were to have blood clots there might have problem later on. It was a really busy 2 weeks after my return as almost every day I have to travel to TTS to visit her making sure she is alright.

After the visit, I would have to help up in doing the housework. It was tiring but I thank God for the strength. Running to and fro is really draining, and being pre-occupied by all the stuffs I was drying up. Fortunately, God never leaves me and waited quietly for me and blessed me with a job and supernatural strength.

Thank God after 11 days in the hospital, granny is finally discharged and was as healthy as before.

He hears our prayers, He never forgets us

2008-05-02T23:30:00.001+08:00

05th May 2008, the day I am to become an adult or rather learn to be one. Haha. You must be wondering what I am trying to say ba. Oh well. It is the first day I am working as a permanent employee. The first job I am ever to be in.

Ya my first job is in OCBC Tampines Central ONE; the place where I had my Student Internship Programme (SIP). A place where I was rather reluctant to go back and work despite being ask by my supervisors and friends there when I finished my SIP last year August.

However, I would say it is God’s plan. Initially, I was thinking where should I work after graduation and asked my brother for opinion but still cannot decide even though I was almost convinced in going back to work at OCBC.

It took me quite awhile thinking to go and not to go and finally I said no in my heart. Then in the beginning of this year, I received a call from OCBC HR, asking me to work there upon my graduation, at that time, I was all occupied by the projects and stuffs therefore, I told her I would need time to think about it. (In my heart I was thinking how to reject oops.) I told her I would call her back in March to give her an answer but I didn’t.

Somehow I just prayed to God saying, if it is His will, make her call me. I thought if I don’t call her, she would call me. However, until the end of March, I didn’t receive any call from her, so I thought the job there isn’t for me.

During the period, after kinda finish school; waiting for graduation, I got nothing much to do except housework and play. Feeling lost I didn’t know where to start finding job (because of the holidays I am going etc). Therefore, every week for a few months, I wrote in the offering envelope “God please give me a clearer direction in what I should do/work when I graduate” and later on “I was able to start working by May”.

I was kind of force to find a job as money is running low and home financially wasn’t doing very good after my granny was hospitalised (I shall talk more in the next entry). Therefore I started finding job online and send my resume after my Genting trip.

On the day, I was going for one of the interviews, I received a sms when I woke up that caught me very confuse. Oh ya a sms from OCBC HR in regards to the job offer given to me earlier on. Before I left the house, I told mum about it and she said something like “zuo sheng bur u zuo so” and throughout the train ride this phrase keep running across my mind and I wonder is it God trying to tell me anything.

When I was at the interview, my throat suddenly went dry and couldn’t speak properly therefore, I did not do well. The feeling is just weird when I was there. I wasn’t nervous, I was speaking well at the reception etc but I just did not do well during the interview.

I can see that the interviewers weren’t very impressed and ya I just fail to perform. Therefore deep in my heart I knew I was not able to get the job. After the interview, I called the OCBC HR, as the phrase “zuo sheng bur u zuo so” was in my mind the whole time, I decided to work there.

I was told to wait for a letter before knowing if I am confirmed working there. During the wait for just about 2 to 3 days, I felt a bit nervous but somehow I still got the peace in my heart knowing that everything gonna be alright. I received a sms to send my resume and meet up to sign the letter of offer.

On Friday 25th May 2008, I am offered a job in OCBC Tampines Central ONE. Hurray! After everything that I have been true, it is kind of obvious God’s direction for me. I really thank God as upon accepting the job, I am already feeling so welcomed.

He is someone who never sleeps and never stumbles. He hears our prayers and work in ways we cannot see. Always remember, if bad things happen to you knowing that God allows it to happen, it is surly something of His will. That is why when I did not do so good for my interview, I knew that job isn’t for me.

Thank God for the job and I will Praise Him all my Life.

Wonderful holidays and People around me

2008-05-02T22:48:00.002+08:00

This shall be my first entry for my blog PrAiSe tHe LoRd. Previously a blog was created to let the CG or now called the PG to enter their testimonial. Unfortunately, it did work out. That is why I would like to create something of my own to share with the people around me. Testimonial time during PG is too short. At times when there are a lot of people sharing, most of us could not afford to share in detail therefore, I have decided to have this blog of my own and share to even more people outside. :)

Enough of all the crap I guess I shall first start with sharing how I was blessed with the overseas trip ba.

Firstly, it was Switzerland. As I will be turning 21 this year, which means no more free air ticket is I am not studying, my dad decided to bring the family except my elder brother to Switzerland. For what I know it will be an extremely expensive trip but my dad just like to travel as a family.

Although at that time, Euro $ went up = Swiss franc went up we were still able to afford it. Decided to be a giver and not the taker, I fork out $1000 for the trip. $1000 may seem big but after the whole trip I really then realised how small it can be. However, money equals to time, the money spent was good enough for the four of us to enjoy one another’s company.

The whole trip exclude food, it all adds up to near to $8000 which mainly includes the admission fee of the mountains and the apartment. The beautiful mountains and landscape are really an eye opener to us. It is just how amazing to know how God created them.

Switzerland is a country that is all about the nature; people who love nature can never missed out going to. Beautiful white snow covers the mountain and grass; it was as though I was in fairy land. It had been a long long time since I see the whole place covered with snow. Beautiful is the only word I could describe.

I would say we really enjoyed ourselves and the experience we had was unforgettable. I really thank God that the weather and everything there was great as one of the days there was snowing heavily. Wonderful.

Secondly, dear and his mum blessed me with lots and lots of stuffs from Hong Kong. My gosh it was so many that as though I had went there myself. I don’t remember able to buy so many things there when I went 2 years ago. I am truly blessed. Dear spent most of the time looking for my things instead of his. What a wonderful boyfriend God has blessed me with; someone who is precious to me.

Lastly, my mum finally allowed me to go Genting with dear and his parents. His mum has been asking me along since 2 years back but my mum never allows. This time even my dad doesn’t mind. I am so so happy.

This time, his dad blessed us with the trip and when we were there, gosh his mum gave me money to buy almost whatever things I like. I really thank God for such a wonderful “future-in-laws” oops haha.

I am so pai seh as I spent the most money. :S However I will never forget how good they treated me. God I don’t want to only be blessed but to be a blessing to the others too.

Thank God for the wonderful holidays I had and the people around me.

I LOVE YOU LORD.
