spent the whole day in a meeting on monday. thought that would be the last time i am going to work very closely with someone. but.. but surprise surprise..that person still have to guide me along the way. Things took a change after i knew that he wasn't going to be on the same project. well the good thing is I am no longer that dependable on him anymore. I am starting to learn things on my own. so good on me *yeah*.
monday was nic and diane wedding. Shireen & james did a very good job on the montage *claps claps* use cantonese song somemore leh.hee..ah yee and tk were the emcees for yesterday and ah yee spoke in cantonese.lovely wedding and hope it turns out well for them. some photos...

That's all it wraps up our celebration of Nic and Diane wedding. The first wedding of our unit. Next up it's a blessing from God.
This morning blur blur go office. feeling kinda of sianz..as usual take my own sweet time check mail..came across this mail entitled "PwC-award of bonus 2006".i thought it was a joke or what. so i open it and hee.i got bonus. Why do i say its a blessing from God?? well, according to industry practice once you leave the company before its financial year end. you aren't entitled to the bonus. PwC year end was 30 June and i left in Apr 06. So i really didn't expect bonus. Just yesterday i was glooming over all my bills..i have to fork out $800 for my CPA course fee, $200 for my income tax and have to save for missions trip..i was like cham liao how to survive this coming month..live on air & water?? Then the mail just came in @ the right time..Now i have more than enough!!! still can tithe.. *giggles* so i say God is faithful.. and i really want to proclaim His goodness..
Malachi 3:10
"Bring all the tithes into the storehouse so there will be enough food in my Temple. if you do, says the Lord Almighty, I will open the windows of heaven for you. I will pour out a blessing so great you won't have enough room to take it in Try it! Let me prove it to you!"

this weekend was a real thinking weekend.. why do i use the word thinking??
met up with my long time friend->meiyan. time flies recalled the times when i first met her in 1998 in perth. 8 years ago liao. when both of us are teenagers lost in a kangaroo land. i'm so glad i have her as a friend. the thing i really remember her was she brought me to church ->zph (zion praise harvest) and how from there i started to attend Cg and church. But yesterday as i talk to her, i had mixed feelings. Happy that our friendship have lasted so many years and many more to come. Sad that she ain't going to church anymore. why say..in fact i must say..my heart cries. Ever since she is back from perth permanently, she is not attending church regularly liao =(. Busy with bf? Busy with other stuff i really don't know. I also don't know how to ask her to come back to church. As i talk to her and hear her say she learns salsa and does other stuff because her bf is not free to accompany her it saddens me. She could have involve herself in church activities. My heart wonder if there is this emptiness in her. Is she trying to fill that void by learning so many stuff??
went to church today. unusually early because have ushering today. the team is GROWING!! today we have 2 new serving ushers-> Chris and Stanley. Ps Dinah preached today about "living treasure". Am not going to talk much about the sermon lah. But a few pointers that really caught me:
1) A person who wishes to gain freedom have to learn to live a life of purity
2) Freedom is found in God's word.
3) God's word hidden in our hearts keep us from sin
4) Knowing & following God's word is a joy, it's a promise of freedom & bondage from sin.
A simple question for all of you: "what do you treasure most in your life?"

these few days have been quite unusual for me..as in i don't need to wait for my alarm to ring before i wake up. actually i have set my alarm to ring @ 715am.but these few days i wake up earlier liao.so a good thing. headed for the most hated Intel stock take today. ever wondered why internal audit consultants and i mean CONSULTANTS have to do stock take?? i wonder?? and guess what today i was responsible for the biggest warehouse. luckily i had gary to help. another thing was luckily the intel personnel was around too. from an original 10%, he told us to reduce it to 5% else i really can't imagine what time i would finish..
met francis back in the office and he broke a news to me which left me disappointed. He told me that David Chew will be taking over the project and the other 2 guys would be pulling out as well. =( this news left me disappointed. not so much that Francis is not leading anymore.More because i won't be able to work with Roy. K a little about Roy.. He's someone who's on this project with me..and i can so he is super cute..besides being a looker, he has a super charming smile and nice features. On top of that, he's intellectual, witty carrying with him a sense of humour. Tall and quite an average size guy. Gentleman..and i would conclude he's just charming..plus best of all a christian guy..whaa..i can say the first time i see him i was already super amazed by him..he's like magnet k...anyway i am disappointed that i can't work with him liao loh. =(
Maybe you all will think...haiz..she's @ it again..but this time..i see the bigger picture. As i shared with Shireen today. I don't deny i am disappointed.in fact very upset. But a few points to note about the attitude this time
1) God knows i am super impressed by him to the fact that i can't concentrate on working. So He has to put a stop to it.So perhaps this time by pulling Roy out of the project, i will be able to focus on doing this project and not focus so much on being so impressed by Roy.
2) As you all know, my missions trip is confirmed in Sep. If Roy continues to be on this project, over these few weeks to the date of my missions, i'll fall deeper into the trap. So in the end, i might not even concentrate on my missions trip and i won't be able to serve fully during this trip. So God wants me to keep my focus.
3) God knows i've become very dependable on Roy..everything i ask him to help me teach me..and i don't put in the heart to do my readings..it's time not depend and start putting heart to read..so God wants me to learn not to depend on him.I've got to learn to read up.
4) God knows i won't pass this round of test..the test of falling in and falling bad..so God wants to protect me from the hurts..God wants to see friendship being built..to replace that kind of admiration.
Not bad right, from the disappointments i can actually turn it around and not entertain the devil's thoughts. very happy in fact..i'll learn to focus then...

i've been pondering this for a few days already..keep wanting to blog but then again..always can't find a relevant title..shall do it today. let's talk about typical singaporeans first.
Most singaporeans either take the MRT or Bus. well most of us don't have the luxury to drive the car lah.For me it's the same unless its a weekend. Well, i've been working for about 4 years already..day in day out the usual mode of transport is the MRT/Bus..the morning crowd..& the after office crowds are the worst cases. Why do i say this?? With my years of observation, one word to describe the typical Singaporean--> KIASU. I am serious.why the word?? well, i love to take my time to go to work. why? If commuters do realise, during peak hours, the MRT comes in like every 2 mins. So..why the rush??? Everytime i walk towards the gantry @ the MRT, i can always hear people running from behind..when the train doors are closing..pls loh..why not just wait for the next train?? when it's just 2 mins?..duhz..next thing..do commuters realise the MOVE IN and let people in theory??? why must they all squeeze @ the door?? afraid can't get out ah?? always see the middle so empty and the rest of the people just crowd @ the door...is there some evil spirits in the middle or what??? Please be more considerate!!!
Next thing about Singaporeans when taking the MRT..you all see those poles?? for people to hold on?? some typical singaporeans love to lean against the pole..please have back bone anot??? Another scenario is someone who loves to hug the pole. Is it your BF/GF??? must hug until so tight?? leaving people with no space to even hold the pole...haizzz..
k enough of the typical singaporeans..let's talk about the typical me..for those who know me well, i must admit i have this insecurity about not getting married/hitched..I am serious so don't laugh..as much as i am still learning to put my trust in God..i do waver..why?? Because not strong in my faith lah..But but i a still learning...for an accountant..i would say I am still a WIP. and i know GOd is still continuing to mould me in this area of my life. still i really learn to trust Him. Frankly, i do get sick and tired of going about in circles. same hurts.same disappointments. But last night as i was reading something this sentence struck me:
"...we don't have to settle for less than the best. Jesus has no intention of entrusting us to the care of spiritual paupers who are incapable of recognizing our true worth."
For women, who have the same concerns as me, as i am still learning and have my down falls, i really encourage you all to join me and trust God.
"As you begin experiencing the presence of Jesus, several things will begin to happen: You won't focus on being alone as much; you will begin to feel loved and cherished; and the more you delight youself with the Lord, the more He'll arrange pleasant little surprises to show you how delighted He is with you."

shall come straight to my point for the post today. i don't like beating about the bush. it's about 2 sisters in my church.
had an argument with a sister in my church on monday. actually we communicated through msn. @ that moment i wasn't feeling too good and she said certain things.which i totally didn't want to hear. ( i guess if she is feeling as down as me, i guess there are certain things which she didn't want to hear @ that point as well) anyway..i was quite unkind to her. in fact that night i went to meet joel and jem and she didn't know and she said something like "don't take joy in such accompany" (something like that).i was like..forget it.u dun even know who i am meeting and what a thing u said.i dun wish to talk anymore and i just log off.
subsequently today, i sms her and apologise to her for the unkind attitude. in fact i was doing it because i didn't want to sow discord in the cg. eventually i told her i didn't like the approach she used on me because @ THAT MOMENT and i EMPHASIZE it's @ that moment i really felt she is giving me the "You are more spiritual than me" kind of approach. which i simply detest. and she just said she is disappointed. if it's because of this thing that she feel disappointed i don't wish to explain myself anymore. WHY?? i believe if she becomes a shepherd she will definitely meet people who will say even worst stuff..it's true that @ THAT MOMENT she really gave me that feeling. well, if that's how she chooses to be disappointed. then should i just sweep things under the carpert???? and forget about the whole issue??? the fact that i apologise to her today it's that i know she treats me as a sister but i also told her frankly i really don't like that kind of approach. I believe she has been feeling down before and @ certain moments there are certain things that when people say she won't like to hear. it's just like me, i don't appreciate what was said @ that moment. Can't she understand. What if when she is unhappy and i tell her " hey, you tend to have emotional dependency on people" or "don't escape when problems arise". i don't think she will appreciate what was said. If she can't take what i said, then what if her future sheeps tell her things like " i don't like the way you teach me". is she going to tell the sheep directly, i am disappointed with you???
Next up is another sister. she sms me and ask me how i was and she told me she hopes i will stop dwelling in negativity. In the first place, i don't think she ever know why i had this negativity. I told her i don't understand why is it that certain people are actually in the CT. when i dun even see them in cg neither do i see them in church. and she got fed up and replied " if you can't stop dwelling in negativity, i won't sms". As usual, the only thing they want is to ask you stop dwelling without going down to the root as to why did you feel about it this way. What has happen and cause me to think this way? The only way they want is to "STOP IT". In fact i told her i feel unfairness in the church. why??:
1) When i see her face black, i really don't see people telling her. But when i face black, people will directly tell me "Hey y u black face?" it makes me wonder, is it because of the status??
2) An incident occur on the way back from church camp. we were on the coach and was stuck @ the causeway. there was this brother who had nachos and we were passing the nachos around. So he asked who is hungry. The girl next to me said she was and he offered her. and when i said i was he said " No, you are not hungry. So you shan't have any" and he gave to other people. i was really damn PISSED at that point. but i only sms someone to tell that person. other than that no one knew about it. It's this kind of treatment that i HATE! What the Hack?? If it's because the girl is a leader's gf while i am just a normal member then forget it. DAMN sick..
all these issues no body ever ask. the only thing they want of you is "forget it. Don't dwell in it" yet they don't bother about asking you what has trigger all these stuff? If that's the way things should be dealt with. It's fine that we can sweep things under the carpert. Wait till next time things happen and all these are triggered then it will be brought up again. Isn't it the same??


my name card finally arrived..first thing i did..check that my hp didn't appear..lucky never coz i confirm object..i don't want my clients to be calling me during weekends. a pleasant surprise today..i met some of my other team members for the LTA project...one of them is my friend's husband the other is a super super cute guy..or should i say charming..especially when he smiles..anyway the 2 of them really takes care of me..so no need to worry that much..hmz that's the thing of working with us.they are less fussy.and more willing to help you.hiaks hiaks
came across this song on connie's website and i kinda of like it..sorry can't upload leh..but maybe i shall just put the lyrics of it..song it entitled'--> "I will" by Ben Taylor
Who knows how long I've loved you?
You know I love you still.
Will I wait a lonely lifetime?
If you want me to I will.
For if I ever saw you, I didn't catch your name.
But it never really mattered, I will always feel the same.
Chorus:
Love you forever and forever,
Love you with all my heart,
Love you whenever we're together,
Love you when we're apart.
And when at last I find you, your song will fill the air;
Sing it loud so I can hear you.
Make it easy to be near you.
For the things you do endear you to me,
Ah, you know I will.
I will.
nice song eh??? meaningful lyrics =)
