Give me more Sun!!!

Sun flew in to Singapore and gave us in CHC a big surprise. Well, she was not suppose to back this week but since she had a few days off, she bought a ticket for herself and Dayan and flew all the way back from LA! Woohoo! The last time I saw her was in June and its been three months. But too bad she couldn't stay longer, she had to fly back in the evening today and she won't be back until probably next year. Sigh... But she's doing really well in LA. I hope she continues to do well and shine for the Lord!

And today, we had the most touching service. For the past seven weeks, Pst Kong had been preaching about marriage. No, no, no, I am not getting married yet. But if you know Pst Kong, he can preach about anything. At least half the church is not married but he is preaching about marriage cos he wants to teach us and prepare us. Anyway, today was the grand finale and Pst got all the married couples to renew their marriage vows in the service. They prepared corsages and roses and so it was like witnessing a "mass marriage" of sorts. And mind you, the roses were not ordinary roses, they were English roses! The big and pretty roses not those tiny about to bloom ones. Ha... It was really touching, saw some people crying and of course Pst Kong and Sun renewed their marital vows! Aww... So touching...

Btw, this is the not so nice part. Went to Orchard after service today and while I was walking at the linkway to Wheelock, I saw B (thank God B didn't see me)! Screams! I literally stopped in my tracks and gasp. No, that was no exaggeration. I really did that and Joshua wondered what happen to me. So I told him and he turned around and saw her back. Guess what he said? He said "Wah, the hair flatter now, not like last time"! Haha... Classic ah... Hair impressions last!

Updates.Complaints.Wishes

Ta... Was so busy over the past two weekends that I didn't have time to blog. Anyway, lots of thing have happen since then. Let's start from today. Finally sent Wendy off today! She made it! She left the organisation! Haha... She gave me a hug before she left and I so WISH that it would be my turn to leave soon. Of course, her parting shot was telling me not to stay so long! Haha... Read the papers recently and realise that Bloomberg and Barclays were both hiring. I haven't check them out yet and it sounds so tempting. Ha... Then where do all my plans go??? Must think think think.

Went to visit Susanna yesterday. She freaked Marvin and I out. Marvin smsed her in the morning and she said that she wanted to hide at home! This set alarm bells ringing in my ear! In the end, we sprang a surprise on her. Only called her when I reached the void deck of her house. Bought her cookies and her favourite peanut butter waffle. Drew her out of her cave and began to crack endless jokes to lighten her up. I think she burnt out. She had been working so hard for the past few months and she really needed a break. As for me and Marvin, it had been such a long time since we really made the effort to visit a member under such an "occasion". We thought we became CGLs. Haha. Anyway, I certainly hope that she is feeling better now. She smsed me in the evening just now and said I made her day and now she is not afraid to on her laptop (on laptop=work). So I assume that she is out of the cave now.

For Sunday, went to send Fiona off to Australia. Everything just seemed so fast. Barely two months ago, she had wanted to change CG and when she made that decision, God gave her the breakthrough. She found a job in Australia and now she is in Australia. Things do happen isn't it? Just when she thought it would take her sometime to find a job in Australia, it happen. God really has way of making things happen. And He really gives surprises. Anyway, I spent two weeks making a memento for Fiona and I was really proud of the finished product. I haven't done personalised presents for quite sometime and it gave me a kick this time. Most of all, I felt I had done something meaningful. She had seen so many disappointments in this CG and I really wanted to bless her before she left. I seriously hoped that the memento did the job. It took me many nights but I was really sincere in making the gift and I hoped it really touched her. When I sent her through the gates, we gave each other a big hug and tears were brimming in my eyes. It took me quite a while to collect myself and the tears didn't flow. Thank God ah. Anyway, she's joining Pst Mark Conner's church. It's a good church for her. I like Pst Mark Conner's preaching.

Last of all, this is a complaint. As usual, its about Mr B. Mr B wrote an email saying that officers like me (which means all the officers in the same position as me) cannot make it and had to plough through waiting for a promotion and if we youngsters could not wait then we would leave the organisation! Arrgh! Is Mr B very old? 40? 50? No! of all ages, just past mid-20s! And we cannot make it?! What aspect?! And I wonder who can't make it in the end! Humph!

Thoughts...

I haven't been in my best condition for the past two weeks. I am tired, not just physically, but spiritually, mentally, emotionally and probably socially too. Probably I was bogged down by the things at work, I've been so busy since HX was posted out. Been leaving the office late, I certainly don't like it but there are things coming in everyday and I certainly do not want to go back during the weekends to complete my work. I am tired but at the same time frustrated. Frustrated at the things at work, I am sick of the work that I am doing, sick of doing the same things over and over again, sick of sitting down and facing the computer the whole day, sick of facing Mr B at work, sick of putting up with her nonsense, sick of putting up a front that I am on cordial terms with her, sick of "entertaining" her when she talks to me. I do not want to gripe about her, neither do I want to gossip about her anymore. I think I had enough of her. I just hope that she would just go away although this might be a little difficult. So, what can I do? Seriously, I do not know. I am just leaning onto God, for that extra bit of tolerance and that extra bit of strength. I just want to be fruitful in the things I do.
