Occupying my mind

I need to occupy my mind. Seriously. I need to get away from reading newspapers and political news. If it wasn't required for my work, I wouldn't be reading political stuff at all! Half the time when I am working, I am thinking: 'What has this got to do with me?!' But can I really get away with it? Not yet. At least for now. Which makes me so happy that I got my radio at my workplace. But I need something else. My "healthfood". More reading in this case. Contrary to what you read earlier on, I love reading! Just that I want it for leisure and not for work. I've run out of books to read. Just finished 'Christ the Lord, Out of Egypt" by Anne Rice and I feel empty not reading now. I need to meet Hui Juan and exchange our books. Or try to rent more. I want my chick lit, fiction, non-fiction, self-helps and biographies to occupy my mind...

Dilemma.Choices.Decisions

Whoever said that making decisions are easy must be out of his/her mind! True, its just between saying 'yes' and 'no' but you have to weigh the pros and cons and put in a lot of factors before you can really decide on anything. As much as I want to do the extreme now but I need to have enough finances first before I can do anything. Really thought that it was a blessing to be able to go to China with Mindef sponsoring the whole trip. But there's nothing such as a free lunch in the world. There's a catch to it. If I make that trip, I will be bonded for another 6 months to Mindef. That really got me thinking. Is it really worth my time and effort to be there for another 6 months? I don't want to take this uncalculated risk. What's worse was that they didn't tell me about the bond! Thank God I was talking to a fellow colleague over lunch and she told me about this otherwise I'll regret big time! Anyway, I am glad to have this colleague. She shared a lot of things and for once, I realised I had a likeminded colleague in Mindef. Haha...

I love my friends and Projectshop!

I had a happy Friday, Saturday and Sunday last week! Met up with Hui Juan and Justin on Friday.... Then Hui Juan and I went to K-Box and we sang for almost one and a half hours! It was really awesome! Both of us did not meet for 3 weeks and we haven't had karaoke together for a long time! So it was a great time catching up and we laughed, sang and talked to each other non-stop. It was really great!

Then came Saturday... It was Team A's first duty in the Singapore Expo. Things were pretty confused because many of the members were singing for the first time. But everything worked out well in the end. We sang 'Paint the Town Red' and its a smashing song! Hoo!

And there was Sunday... I reached church at 8.30am for choir and had a cappucino nougat before going on stage to sing... Was really hungry by the time service ended. Together with Joshua, we went out with Alvin and his girlfriend to a hawker center near Bedok market for lunch. I had chicken chop and it was yummy, yummy! After that, Joshua and I went to Orchard, and we each bought a T-shirt from Zara! Later, we also bought each other a bag from Projectshop as a Valentine's Day gift. Isn't that wonderful? I've got one more bag from Projectshop! Yay! And the sales assistant was impressed by the amount of Projectshop bags I have! Heh... I'm an ardent fan.

Oh yes... Joshua bought a bouquet of pink roses for me... Hehe...

Delirious?

Delirious? came last weekend... They are one of the best Christian bands in the world. Their music has certainly been changing through the years and it is just getting better! Bought their new album: The Mission Bell. I am still in the midst of listening to it but I like the lyrics of this song. Very real and reflects the world of today... Here's 'Our God Reigns'...

40 million babies lost to God's great orphanage
It’s a modern day genocide and a modern day disgrace
If this is a human right then why aren’t we free?
The only freedom we have is in a man nailed to a tree

100 million faces, staring at the sky
Wondering if this HIV will ever pass us by
The devil stole the rain and hope trickles down the plug
But still my Chinese take away could pay for someone’s drugs

Our God reigns, Our God reigns
Forever your kingdom reigns

The west has found a gun and it’s loaded with ‘unsure’
Nip and tuck if you have the bucks in a race to find a cure
Psalm one hundred and thirty nine is the conscience to our selfish crime
God didn’t screw up when he made you
He’s a father who loves to parade you

Yes he reigns, yes you reign, yes you reign
For there is only one true God
But we’ve lost the reins on this world
Forgive us all, forgive us please
As we fight for this broken world on our knees

Happy New Year!!!

Its 'chu qi' so its not too late yet, so here's wishing all 'Happy New Year'!!! And its 'chu qi' so 'Happy Birthday'!!! I had a tiring but fruitful new year, went out at 9.30am and reach home at 10.30pm on day 1 of the CNY. Its tiring man! Its like working overtime! Haha! But I did enjoy myself... Catching up with relatives and making fun of people... Hehe... Ang bao takings haven't gone up but it hasn't gone down yet, so it's maintaining its standard. Hahaha... Call me money-face or what but I don't care! I'm going to take ang bao while I still can... Hohoho... Money no enough so have to depend on this once a year... Heh...

Allow me please...

I'm trying hard not to make all my postings an angry post but allow me to to do it today... Sometimes I wish she can just disappear into thin air. Hey, its a nice morning and I don't need someone to bite my head off ok?! That's figurative speech, in case you dunno... Once again, I was pissed off today. Absolutely pissed off! Now you know I am angry because Charlene always used "turn off". Ta da! Yet another not so good breakthrough from Charlene... Tsk tsk...
