Farewell Jesslyn(for now)

Jesslyn's on her way to Aust now.we're gonna miss u!!especially ur 'xiao mian yangs'.we'll pray for u!!!

and...well....for those of u who didn't manage to see the cover page.dis is wat it looks like.

rented!

yes!my shop's rented as of today!!woohoo!!!most pple are sad when their shops or business close down.me??i'm actually happy.cos i stop when i shld and it's abt time to take a rest.spiritually ,i've grown much more den i expected...much more den my 20yrs of livelihood.so it was worth the investment.wat's gonna happen next?i dunno...but i'll just take 1 step at a time.

went for tammi's 21st birthday party.it was held at raffles town club presidential suite.wah!!tell u....the suite...is damn damn damn damn...okie..super super super super chao ji wu di nice la!!why shldn't it when u're paying a thousand plus dollars for just half a day.expensive man.But at the end of the day,i guess it was the fellowship tt mattered most.
it was nice catching up with old frens and how after all those yrs,we've all grown up in a way...and those conflicts of the past are now forgotten.very nice feeling.haha...

and guess wat?one of my fren's ex boyfriend happens to be tammi's cousin!man!!after so many yrs of knowing tammi...haha..it took this long to know she's related to him.i knew tt guy when i was 15 la.hahaha....

wat a small small world man.and he's still so shuai!wat a waste..they broke up...nvm....she's happily married and i'm happy for tt fren of mine.hope tt guy's doing fine too.ahha...cos we didn't talk much.just the usual hellos and stuff.

alright..it's time i go to bed.till den!

More Pics..



well..here's 2 more pics together with the Cell.I look so fat!!but nvm..haha

Sick...and Tired...

it sure doesn't feel good to be sick.It's been so long since i last had fever.so...i actually forgot the temperature when the fever starts.haha...

so....it was a 39.79 late last night....den..now..it's subsided to 37.66.not sure if it went down further.but...my body's still aching...and it sure feels uncomfortable.was still awake at 3++ this morning....woke up at 8am..(it's been so long since i last woke up this early,besides Sunday).nothing to do,can't get to sleep...so..tot i'll blog 1st.

I fell sick the day Radical started.hahaha...it just got worse.was it an attack?hmm..i shld think not.well..hopefully not.

Radical was okie...wun say it's fantastic or anything.i guess it's really for young students and stuff.cos i wld dare say i AM radical already...so...doesn't really make any difference to me.nvtheless,it was really encouraging to see so many youths taking the bold step to become Radical.i hope it's not just a 1 night commitment but they'll be determined to be RADICAL!!

okie....job job...well...i passed all 3 rounds of interview.but i dun think i'll take up the job.I'm looking for a job tt enables me to have a great weekend.this job...doesn't allow.u've to work either on sat or sun sommore.and it's too fast paced,i'm just not prepared for tt.i need a break.

so...i'll still look ard for suitable jobs.i've time anyway.heh...may join the hotel industry.well...will have to see where God leads.i still wanna become a REAL ESTATE AGENT!!haha

Jobs...

so....wat comes nxt after shop's rented out?? FUN!of cos!..but...of cos..i can't go on playing and not look for a Job.

Hence,i've been looking ard for suitable jobs tt i can take on..a job tt gives me an opportunity to advance to a higher position,a job tt pays well(i wanna lighten my dad's financial burdens),a job tt allows me to continue with my church commitments,a job tt requires minimal experience and a job tt i like.

How to find eh?haha..i think the lady from some agency must have been quite irritated with my requirements.she offered me some admin post and i was like 'oh...low pay...no career advancement...bla bla bla.'actually..i wasn't prepared to be offered a job so soon.haha..so i just tried all means and ways not to take up anything.

But i did apply for some jobs online at Job Street.They've got quite interesting jobs and alot offers very good remuneration.I applied for this particular post of Project Manager cum management trainee and got selected for the 1st round of interview.
Guess what i wore?haha...a long sleeve shirt(not really tee shirt..not those with collar either) and ...and ...and....JEANS!!*GASP* (joanna!!how cld u wear jeans for an interview!!)..haha...seriously..i tot it was fine wearing jeans since the top's already so 'formal'.

When i went to the designated venue for interview,while filling up the typical form..nono..after filling up the form,i realised tt those who were there..were so formally dressed.so paiseh man!but i told myself not to like get affected by it and kept my confidence level there.i know tt if this is the job God wants to place me at...i'll still pass the interview.

U knowwat happened next??there were 4 of us..and our names were called at the same time.It's a GRP INTERVIEW!!wah!!firstly,i've nv gone thru a job interview,secondly,i'm so dressed down and lastly,i usually dun open up so fast to strangers.wat's more...a JOB INTERVIEW!!

but i told myself..calm down,stay confident,treat them as if they're ur frens,u've known em for long and they're as awkard,as shy as u are.Thankfully,the interviewee's a nice guy,very relaxed,very easy going and u cld tell tt he was really trying his best to make us feel comfortable.I managed to score well for tt interview.(super confident) cos i guess it's the way i spoke as well.did wat i mentioned above and spoke with ease,was seriously just being myself.

Interviewee:So..where do u see urself in 3-5yrs time?
Me: Hm..i see myself in a managerial position,earning a good income of abt 3-5 K...and ..maybe married?with kids?
haha..everyone laughed.

After he interviewd all of us,he started telling us bout bout this role and more bout the company and stuff.and when he was talking bout it,it was pretty obvious who got in and who didn't.Cos he'll give more eye contact with whosoever.yes!i got the frequent eye contact.

So...yes!i got into the 2nd round of interview which is tom!i'm so excited.i actually cut alot of things short.so..when u're free,come talk to me.i'll be more den excited to tell u more.hehe...i pray tt i'll get this job.it's super good income,and very fast career advancement.All in the hands of God!

*hey...is large prints or small prints better?pls comment so i know which print better to use.thks! :)

Faith

been reading a book tt ee foo gave me as a birthday gift...it's entitled "A Busy Woman's guide to Prayer".

hmm..i think this book is so relevant.i wonder whether he got it for these various reasons:
1. It's Pink
2.I'm prettty busy with my shop
3.I'm part of the prayer ministry.

There..3 REASONS why..i shld read this book.haha

but it sure came at a time when i really needed help,needed encouragement and needed more answers to Prayers.

Been worried bout not being able to rent out my shop before the month ends and been worried tt i may have to pay another month's rental.abit heartpain to lose money again.

So..as i read the book page by page,day by day,customer after customer,rejection after rejection,this book just kept me there and kept me pressin on.Everytime i place my trust in God,everytime i commit a worry to Him,i see my prayers answered.

Everytime i sense a major worry bubbling up,i'll go quickly to God in prayer and i'll imagine God's hands stretched out,and i see myself placing the worry into his hands.Den i'll sing "into ur hands..i commit again".

Take today for example.I've 8days before the month comes to an end.i really 'cannot take it le'..so after doing QT in the afternoon,i just rested in God's presence and just 'poured' out all my worries and all tt i was feeling inside me.After tt,i got ready to go to my shop.
Wah!!the moment i went to open shop,like...less den 5 mins later,my neighbour came with another neighbour and told me tt he has intentions of renting another shop!It's so God-sent!cos i'm very sure this guy will rent.well..shan't be complacent.But i can see my prayers being answered.More updates of my shop soon!

CLCN camp

well..for now..this is the only pic i have of the camp.haha..i've yet to upload alot of pics..and get it from the pple who brought their cams....but since this is good memory..

i tot i shld share with u guys.These are the new frens i got to know at the CLCN camp.We had great time bonding and luffing and sharing together!all from different churches.well...most la.heh..

Bday Clip

here's a short video clip..well..song item by matt presented on my bday.sheeshh...tt's the only video clip for tt day.argh!i totally forgot abt video camming.ah well...

just click on play ya?think it shld work now. smile! :)

ENJOY!!!here!!!!

I'm TIRED..so TIRED!

hmm..there're so many things tt i wanna blog abt..to get it off my chest(AGAIN!!)...but..i've to really take my time...pour everything out.haha

hmmm...let's see...

i've decided to let go of the shop.figure...i've had enuff worrying bout Paying RENTAL everymonth.for goodness sake...how can my biz go on if i'm just earning enuff to pay for rent yeah?i shldn't be incurring any more losses now.so...finally made the WISE decision to get out of it.FOR NOW.my biz will be BACK!somewhere..someday...

so..tt's somethin i plan to do.

week..went normal...as usual...had a great weekend tho...

let's see....friday..went to the coffee club with the prayer warriors.Thank God for committed pray-ers like em.wish i cld go every Friday too.well..guess i'll be back joining em soon.

Sat...i had supper with a great fren and colleague of mine.even tho it was rather rush..i'm glad we managed to spend some time together..despite the "language' barrier.haha..she's a CHINA lady..so..her chinese..some words are too profound for one who barely passed chinese.heh...so..sometimes...i end up just saying 'ah..oh..' in reply to watever she says.hahaha...

on sunday....hmm..loads loads of events!!tiring..but enjoyable.
Went to attend a wedding LUNCH not lonng after service,it was held at RAFFLES hotel.sounds good eh?well..let's just say..tt the person who sang the song to welcome the bride and groom..is nowhere near SI or any singing competition.haha..she was..well..rather out of tune,blasting into the mike and she cld barely hear wat she was singing.we tried really hard not to luff.yup.and then..the MC actually said the wrong name...eg...*Singer's name* and "Bridegroom's Name"..together.oops!wat a blunder!it seemed as if we were abt to have lunch served..but it turned out to be a buffet lunch.quite an interesting concept and it seems many young couples are doing this to save trouble on having a wedding ceremony in the afternoon,and dinner at night.wat a cost saving way.
well..i still believe in walking down the aisle,led by my dad.He's got only this 1 chance.and i'll love to have my dad to 'hand' me over to my husband(whoever he may be in future.heh)and i still like having diiners!heh..so..for now..a wedding ceremony and dinner it'll be.Bleah!call me traditional.haha..

went for jesslyn's farewell party after tt.nothing much.YPM-ers seem to enjoy playing polar bear.entertaining it may seem...but somehow,i feel...some pple are left out becos they're quieter..and some just seem to be dominating the whole scenario.ah well...better to keep some comments to myself.haha..

everything went pretty well today.heh..i DID NOT end up sitting next to any couples today.Thank God.everywhere i went,were singles...or...couples without thier other half.Hence,i do believe tt whatever happened last week...wasn't coincidental.It was set by God.know wat?i dun seem to be taking it well.hahaha...i'm gonna fail it soon.God..help me to stick to tt decision.

and no.to clarify...the guy i brought to church today,is my fren.yup.nothing more..and definitely not my CUP OF TEA.haha..

wld i wanna meet my Prince Charming soon?hmm...i'm actually scared.so..NO.NOT NOW.haha..

Put to the test!

think before u speak....make sure tt's the decision u wanna make...before u say it out.

cos...as soon as i said something out...God put me STRAIGHT to the test.hahaha...
remember i was telling u guys how i've decided to remain single for now?and i'm not ready to commit?

on sunday...during our usual sunday brunch...we were all separated at treats...after all the settling down..i ended up sitting next to 2 couples!! aaron and jesslyn on my left..jon and ka mun on the right.haha..and i was the LAMPPOST.heh...very bright...but thankfully..both couples are pple i'm close to and can just joke and be open and stuff.so...i didn't feel awakard...when i realised tt i was the only one missing another half there..straight away..in my heart..i knew God was somewhat at work.heh...but it's okie..

after tt..some of us went to marina square in the evening to walk ard...we ended up like..walking in pairs...and zhun zhun as if there were 4 'couples'..of which..only 2 were for real.haha...it was rather hilarious...so..it's kinda like..another test...

den...pam decided to eat kenny rogers..so..off to kenny rogers we went....after or..almost after finishing our food...i realised...i was seated in between couples again!!yes!and so...we were all luffing abt it..

on our way back..once again...they were all in pairs..this time round,i ended up with no 'partner'..so..once again..aaron,jesslyn and i were luffing again.hahaha...

the test didn't stop there.the last 'couple' went to take the train home.so..i was the only one who hitched a ride.once again..i was torn between taking either couple's car..cos they were both on their way.haha..on the way down the escalator..once again,one couple went down...and i was caught in the middle.darn!shld have taken pics.haha...

okie..final test....i dunno whether i saw tt person.but in the car..was another passenger...i'm pretty sure..tt's the car..but can't see if it's the person...well....but it sure was another test.it's more difficult luffing this one off..but i'm preppared for bad news.hahaha...and i'll still be able to move on.very sure!cos...well..cos...:) :) :) :) :) for me to know..and u to find out later later later.heh..

God's good!he knows wat's best for me!i'm happy!!Singlehood rocks!!er..for now.ahha

Wat shld i title this?

i'm sorry...i haven been blogging for some time...due to the very busy schedule i've had and the many deadlines i had to meet.i've been busy with GDOP,the KL mission trip..gone for ABC and in the midst of it all..had to juggle my shop and choreograph some steps for dance prac.

Thru it all...i went thru alot alot alot of tough conflicts...my patience is wearing off..and it has affected many friendships in church.i dunno whether to say it's good or bad...but i've learnt...tt i'm not ready for a relationship.

while in the bus with some guys...we were discussing some stuff...and i realised...i'm not ready...neither do i wanna commit.i still choose to be a carefree person...with the freedom to choose the guys i wanna date. God really knows when's best for my prince charming to appear.i fully accept his Planning in this.haha..

so..thru all these times...i didn't wanna blog cos i know nothing good will come out of the posts..and i didn't want history to repeat itself.i've lost many frens and i didn't want to worsen more stuff.well..dun worry...even tho it hurts to lose those frens..i've gotten over it and i truly have no regrets moving on now.I'm being taught many many stuff and God has shown me alot more of my character and what he wants to mould me into.It's not easy accepting this decision,But he knows best.so...

i'm tired..and i wanna sleep.haha...keep me updated bout how u are doing ya?i wld love to be part of ur life!all of u!! :D
