A better tomorrow...

Didn't really have a good week. Was upset, frustrated, irritated. Had an one and a half day course last week. Nice course, good lecturer full of experience. It was good save for the lousy building with lousy toilets and facilities. Anyway, had to go back to work after the half day course on Wednesday. Seriously, I hated that. It was irritating. I dragged my feet back. I went into the toilet and poured out my frustration at Peiyun. Went back to my cubicle, checked my email and went into delirium. B was on course too! Haha. Went next door and exclaimed to Peiyun. She burst out laughing. Great contrast from frustration to sheer delight. Well, I can't help it!!! Haha. Anyway, I became moody again. Frustrated with what I was doing and didn't know why I was still in that place. Felt demoralised. Ended work at 7.30pm. Nevertheless, I am sick of facing a "duh" person every day. Giving you that blank look and not being a team player. But this is the weekend. Things will get better. For sure.

Leave, leaving, left.

Drats... Was on MC yesterday. This is the third time I took an MC this year. It's a record broken. While I was studying, I could just take one MC over two years or none at all. This sucks. Big time. Either the air in the office is not good or it's my body disliking my workplace. I think it's both. Hahaha....

Anyway, there's a mass exodus in the office. Two more people resigned yesterday. I woke up from my afternoon nap and Peiyun called me and said that either I would sleep soundly or I would be unable to sleep. And then she told me the good news! Two more officers from the same section quit leaving only the PA in the section! Muahahaha... This is so exciting! I just laughed loudly on the phone. Call me evil but I dun care... And I definitely slept soundly last night. The officers must be so "terrorised" to the effect that they quit their job! The management should wake up their idea! So now, 8 officers have left! Exodus ah! Now people are fighting for the 9th and 10th position. I know this sounds crazy but people are just waiting to leave! Muahahaha (pardon my laughter...Haha)... Two of them even suggested going to Gelare for ice cream to celebrate the exodus! I think we are going nuts! Hahaha!

By the way, I saw the new Nokia phone - N73. It's so cool! 3.2 megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss lens, visual/FM radio with MP3 player with a swappable mini-SD slot! So cool! Arrgh... But my workplace doesn't allow me to use a camera phone. So irritating. Nvm, I'll just wait...

Anyway, just saw Hui Juan's blog. She changed template! So nice! I want to change also. Girl ah, when you figure out the thing, teach me ok? =)

Monday is wear green day!!!

Haha... You must be wondering what "wear green day" means??? Ta... Just wear green lah! Wear green shirt, green pants, green earrings, green specs, whatever! As long as it is green, it is allowed for work tmrw! Hahaha... But that is for my department only. A gang of girls (me included) have declared (unofficially) that Monday is "wear green day"!

Well... How did this came about??? Hmm... Let's just say that last Monday was a usual day when an email from a certain boss came in. There was much flattery and in a nutshell, he was too busy with his other duties and someone had to cover him. That was Monday. But on Friday, another email came. This time, after reading it, my body system went "tink"! Apparently, this boss won't have someone to cover his duties but he has to relinquish his duties. What a difference four days made. Hahaha... So what has green got to do with him? Well, he dislikes (or should I say hate?) green. So to "commemorate" his absence (or leave), we decided to wear green. I know this sounds really bitchy but its once in a blue moon that you get to hear me writing (or talking) like this... I dun care and you shouldn't care too... Should be wearing a green shirt tmrw... Hehe...

Anyway, except for Sunday morning, which I was in church, I spent my entire weekend at home. Was down with flu and all I could think of was to sleep. Its only 9pm now but I feel like sleeping. In any case, I spent my entire Saturday at home and finished Torey Hayden's book. Haven't read her books in ages, maybe I'll start reading them one by one.. It feels good to be home actually. No crowd. Just me, my bed, my book, my magazine, my laptop, my radio and I'm a contented woman.

Happy 17th Anniversary, City Harvest!!!

Happy 17th Birthday, City Harvest Church!!!!!! Yup, that's right, it's CHC's 17th anniversary today. As usual, we had our celebration at the Singapore Indoor Stadium. Once a year, this will be our only chance to have the whole church come under one roof to celebrate our anniversary. Looking at the crowd, I must say that we have grown tremendously. The first time that we were at the SIS, it was for our 10th anniversary. At that time, we filled only half of the stadium, but slowly we started filling up the place, from half to three-quarters, then the entire stadium and now even the overflow rooms! This is just so amazing and you can't deny God's grace in this.

God has given us us 17 wonderful years and from 20 members, we have grown to 20,000. This is a growth beyond what we could think or imagine but God has given it to us. 17 years... The first anniversary I attended in CHC was its' 9th anniversary, and now, 8 years have passed... Amazing... I was a teenager then, was in secondary school, then JC, then uni and now I am working. I spent my entire teenage years in CHC and it has moulded me to where I am today. It is my second family... Pastor's teachings, my CGLs and ministry leaders discipleship, they have touched me beyond what I could expressed in this blog. But without them, I wouldn't be here today. And I look forward to another magnificent 17 years with CHC!

Not only is this CHC's 17th anniversary, it is also Pastor Kong's 20th year into full time ministry! Of course, the church made special mention of it and the pastors surprised Pastor Kong with an item at the end of the service. Words of appreciation were said and a gigantic (it's really gigantic! But it's fit for a man like Pastor Kong!) trophy was presented to Pastor Kong. Sun even called back from LA and spoke words of appreciation to Pastor Kong which moved him to tears! Pastor Kong is the pillar of this church, his teachings have never failed to motivate me, it has made me a better person, daring to dream and believe. God is the source of all things but he needs a faithful servant to minister His word. And for CHC, it is Pastor Kong. He walks the walk and is our example. Life in this church is never dull because he has given us a vision that makes us look forward to go forth with him. Pastor Kong may not get to read my blog, but truly, he is my hero of faith!

Thank you Jesus for CHC and Pastor Kong!

Happy 23rd Birthday!

Ta da! It was my birthday yesterday but the celebration began on Monday! My colleagues bought me a cake and I received a lot of gifts from them. Wendy bought me a shoe wallet, TSH & SSH bought me a Kipling purse, Peiyun bought me an ornament from a German shop, Swee Han gave me a choker, and Huixia & Carol gave me a necklace. The best thing was Carol bursting into my office to place the necklace over my neck in full view of my colleagues, my boss and Mr. B. Needless to say, I knew the plot. What a contrast between Mr B and my birthday... Haha... Evil...

Anyway, I met Hui Juan after work on Monday and we to K-box and sang for more than 3 hours! It was great fun since it had been a long time since we sang. And I am still waiting patiently for my present... Hehe...

And then the clock hit 12! Joshua called me and gave me a touching "speech" and after that, he was off having supper till 3am with his friends. Haha... Not that I mind though... He needs to enjoy himself too. Anyway, I immediately called Hongda after Joshua hanged up. How could I ever forget Hongda?! The guy who was born on the same year, same month and same day as me! For once, I beat him in wishing each other "Happy Birthday"! Usually he is faster than me and this time I beat him to it! Haha... This kind of thing also want to compete...

Well, the best time was of course reserved for Tuesday. Met my laoshi in the afternoon for lunch and was really challenged and motivated by him by the time we were done. He is really doing well in his career now and he is willing to teach me to get the best of his job. Right now, all I need to do is to convince my parents, establish my goals, take the risk and off I go to a whole new world. This will be my line of thought for the next two weeks. To make a decision and stick to it. No regrets this time.

After that, I finally met Joshua. I was waiting for him and shopping around Raffles City Shopping Centre when I saw him. Well, too bad, he wanted to give me a surprise but I caught him. Nevertheless, he was still very sweet. He bought me a bouquet of tulips and an Ed Hardy t-shirt with my favourite design!!! Woo hoo! I was really really touched. But that's not all. For dinner, we went to Ritz-Carlton for their international buffet. I was literally filled and fed to fullness with the desserts. Yes, I ate more desserts than main course. They were simply irresistible! Anyway, the night went well, the ambience at Ritz-Carlton was simply wonderful and I was literally touched to the core of my heart!

Last of all, I was simply touched by all my friends who remembered my birthday. Most importantly, they were from my friends in secondary. They made the effort to remember... Yuan Qian, Kam Choy, Justus... 3 guys but they remembered...
