and loving every minute of it.. (and yes.. even to wOrk alternate Sat) at least you are being appreciated.. and your boss is willing to believe in you..
Frankly, the pace is increasing.. yes.. at day no. 10. Hmmm well.. and by rule of thumb, i think anything with the letter "G, S or T" will come to me... oh yes.. Cuz... I'm supposed to be more "learned" than the other "old birds" in this rather "new" revenue generator for the govt . . . ahha.. BUT felt pleased with myself on this exempt supply issue that an SBU approached us for help.. and heehee.. All glory to Him ( there is the desperate cry for help when this was assigned to me.. cuz i know zitch about the energy market... Thank U Holy Spirit for the divine guidance..) Had a last minute meeting with the GM/ and two other gals from the SBU side with my SM.. Glad the experience i'd at the tax auth came in handy.. ahha.. :)
Hmm oh.. today must be the day I met MANY choir members aside from choir prac.. during lunch time, saw this big sized bro from choir @ Vivo.. don't know his name.. then i walked passed mike on my way back to office after lunch.. (only realised was him until a few sec later.. ) then followed by rongz on my way home (still @ vivo) then another sop gal (which i forgot her name.. but she knew mine.. ops..) @ tangs.. then another choir sis @ Harbourfront station.. think her name is faith.. oo.. and mel during the fire drill this morning..
Wa..
hmmm i've a feeling that this sweet gal from the grp acc seated next to me in office is a fellow harvester... hmm cuz overheared something abt the offering form... the envelope passed to jimmy.. and printing the form... hmmm familar rite? and.. there's a cgl with her name having cg tonite... I don't reckon it's so similar in other churches too rite.. and hmmm ahah.. shall find out next week... :) haha..
Hmmm another peeve.. the NON-reply smses.. URgh..
Oh... yeah.. my cgl is back 4 good .. (and a ditzy member actually asked him when u going back taipei AFTER steven mentioned during pM debrief that he's glad that ryan's back.. eh.. ditzy & dense.. haha DnD.. ops!) :) But really grateful to my current cgl. steven, who really helped me grow to who i am (okies.. not that much but he sieved the nasty side away but the countless discipling sessions.. okie.. not that much.. but enough to teach me NOt to put that on again...) hmmm YET.. would i sink back to the comfortable state again... hmmm.. I hope not.. I don't want to...
hmmm happy happy state... in spite of the imperfections of things.. :)
Thank YOu Jesus.. :)

blessed..
I love my saturdays and sundays..
For the very 1st time since ... hmm the old iras days... I have to work on Saturday.. And well.. frankly, i guess i looked forward to it though.. (a stark difference from the reluctance to get to the building next to Lau Pa Sat.. history.. case closed.. just that it adds to the glam factor in my CV.. haha..)
Guessed that I was rather tired after working half a Sat.. so service wasn't that awake.. nope. din zzz but the freezing cold wind help to awaken my soul.. but.. I love Sunday service.. i guess I am not that pre-occupied.. For once.. I get to sit and be with the cg (ok.. not that many today..) and really be ministered... Glad that I was not asked to sing though.. cuz else, how can i step into what He has planned for me... if i'm so pre-occuppied with serving.. AND... service today was a more depth kinda message.. I like.. (I guess i always have this hunger for MORE knowledge/ revelation of His Words.... haha.. typical s'porean mindset of more is good..... but good in this sense.. haha).
And.. spend some good quality time with joyce this weekend.. dinner after service on sat.. watched "Surf Up" after s2. I like the movie.. Simple.. touching.. and the interesting thing is that God loves to speak to me through movies.. :)
hmm... tired now.. it's been a long weekend.. (not the lobo kind.. but I love every moment of it... ) gotta be alert for the workshop tmw.. :) So blessed that I'm doing what i like.. :) (at least for this season of my life... )
Oh yes.. the full set of the Mr Beans are sitting happily on my bed now.. (haha.. they are such happy jolly beans to look at..!) Ha.. guess only joyce & r8ch knows how happy this smiley bean can brighten my day.. Ya.. cheap thrill for a good cause (50% of proceeds goes to charity...)
will continue again soon..

Getting to know you... (or me)

the energy market..
oh yes, i'd spent the last 1.5 hours on this topic... cuz was given a task by my sm at 6pm (hey i should have scooted off @ 545pm and won't see the mail until 830am today! - yep, it's my first working sat after so many years..) hmm i think he thinks rather highly on me.. like i'm the gst expert.. (eh... ) asked me to look at the query from the business unit and draft a reply if possible...
well.. i know peanuts about the energy industry.. except that it has been deregulated.. urgh... hmmm haven't see much light yet into the tax stuff.. BUT at least i got a better understanding of this energy stuff.. interesting.. haha...
hmmm i guess i better surf by technical sites .. such as engineering /oil /gas /ship building /property...
And.. yes.. looking forward to dawn... wondering if its dressdown sat, else i'll bring to change.. hmmm...
in the lift today.. met a guy from the senior mgmt (BUT i don't recognise him.. cuz hey.. my 3rd day only.. and ooo.. he recognised me as the new girl from the HR email annoucing my arrival with the short write up - now i know pple does read these circulars ) wooo... well.. too bad la.. at least i made some small talk with him lo... Thank God i was not dressed nau-ily... as opposed to the "second concubine" days.. Speaking of which, two of my ex-colleagues contacted me today.. eh.. one looking for the templates for JV .. hmmm and the other.. asking me how to create the hotspot button in the lotus notes.. [did that in one of the email survey thingy and they were sooo amazed at this function in lotus notes.. EH??] ego rise a bit when u realised that they can't do things without u.. haha.. kinda disgusted too that the realty is real.. They just asked you how to do things.. without the "hey, how's things ..etc"
one phrase says it all.. C'est la vie! (the rare quote i remember from my french class.. )ahha
time to rest the grey matter and solve the prob later.. hmm tmw just me and the sm .. (cuz half a team on duty only..). he's kinda nice la.. reminds me of pastor tan.. :)

the new start
It has been a great start so far.. Despite leaving home slightly later than i would wanted to.. I managed to reach harbourfront on time.. Met melodie @ the lift lobby... nice surprise! Oh.. i saw someone familar on the nel train.. WT! he too got off @ harbourfront.. It should be him cuz of the distinctive yellow thread worn on his wrist. (well, he seemed to have that on his wrist since i knew him?) hmmm well.. but didn't get to talk cuz he seemed to be in a rush.. and me too.. ) Still, it was great to see happy things early in the morning.. :)
cuz silly me sorta missed the email sent by the HR to request for softcopy photo.. ended up taking the digital one and man.. it was rather.. not very flattering.. wellwell.. i was rather surprise that hr actually send a "welcome" note to welcome the newbie to the organisation.. (hmm just that the not so nice photo of me is being circulated.. hmmm now i understand how r8ch felt...)
hmmm later going to 6pm bs.. rushing off to choir prac later..
back to the simple work i'm doing..
And i'm off to course @ SMU next mon & tues.. gonna be there alone though.. :) good and bad.. :)

the gifts..
What's use of the gift, when given is not put to use?
Haven't been excercising this gift for long.. the gift of moving in words of knowledge - last of which was during the GHS lesson.. hmm
well.. I was kinda surprised to see tear streaked cheeks on Joanne's face (cuz i thought it seemd so generic?) yet.. sometimes we think too much.. And true.. the hot tears just flow down freely.. when Joanne prayed for me.. (Well.. God know EVERY single details..)
During worship on stage.. i took a small glance at the congregation... this thought came to mind... This is part of the contingent God is training/ equipping... .. I was reminded of Gideon.. one that God called a man of valor when he was making the reasons of why he thinks he can't take up the call of God.. (Judges 6)
Question: Can you be like Gideon?
The power of ONE....

the most minute thing in life... will make a huge difference..
Envelope and Lighter... Both share a common attribute.. At least to me... What?? Make a guess?
1. you can get them for less than S$1 in value? that's true
2. readily purchaseable from most convenience stall? somewhat close.. after the real reason is revealed..
3. insignificant stuff? hmmm, yeah...
4. Things that you won't carry them around 24-7. (Unless you always have letter to post - these days.. most pple don't snail mail anymore, save for the telco bills.. bills.. etc. OR you are a chimmey puffer.. translate : the tobacco addict... one who don't treasure life... ok.. i shall end here.. cuz it will lead to another long debate...)
5. A precious lesson. yup! Huh? (that's what you will be thinking..)
Yes. all of the above.
Had a sudden inkling that the while B4 envelope (& the form) would be required cuz thurs was an outreach.. and just in case anyway.. CUZ a few weeks ago.. I got a little talk frm my cgl cuz this... (cuz this is one of the small things I ought to take note of... but due to my negligence and the confused state of mind of .. am i in or out.. ya.. decided not to bring And haha.. the ONLY one week that I didn't prepare.. i hit the jackpot.)
So I thought I learnt the lesson.. NOPE. Actually, I thought that one of the guys would have a lighter (not that they are puffers.. but lighter is like a guys' thing.. [well.. mini lesson: don't leave your destiny in hands of others AND ya.. pple usually don't carry lighters unless they smoke.. ]) BUt.. NOPE.. I should have listen to that little thought ballon that says "bring the lighter as well.." Nah.. I chose to assume that sOMEone will have it..
Ookie.. lighter is for the cake to celebrate Christina's birthday... (obv rite.. well in case some thought it's for some silly reason.. like? eh.. for mischief? ) Cake...another long story... fortunately did not leave it to hands of others again.. bought it after soundcheck.. queued... phonecall of for additional item.. time was ticking fast.. gotta report by 1640... long queue for drinks.. received items by 1640.. sped down.. back at holding area 1644.. thank God i made it.. :)
well cake with candle without being lit up.. kinda crappy situation rite? I will feel silly too.. So sorry to put my cgl at a spot... Thank God afterwhich i remedied the situation a bit by having the precious envelope & form.. what i decided to bring out last minute... (else i think i will get double dosage earlier on... )
Okie.. lesson for today: (like how every episode of Happy Tree Friends will end! okie i watched that BUT i don't have violent/saddistic inclination). Be prepared @ all times. Don't neglect the things that seemed mundane. And don't ever ignore the SMall voice in the background even it seemed "duh?"
okie.. more than one lesson... actually nothing new.. JUST a reminder...
ha... shOp for nice lighter during GSS or overseas trip.. ANYone going oseas can get me kawaii lighter.. remembered i saw quirky ones in HK.
So, another COMPULSORY item in my bag : A lighter.. (hmm can use as 防狼器too.. haha

Awaken my soul
You make all things new

Jealous.. can't help but teared while doing the "thank You" cards (i figured this is more sincere than a slice of cake) to some of my co-workers cuz Last Day today... cuz i was listening to the session 9 of SOTM.. (don't think i can catch the sermon la.. Its already 410am) ..
what's sleeping has been awaken... I know it cuz hermione's creation has started operation once more... if there's strength & ideas to create.. she has awaken...
God.. You are good.. All the time.. All the time.. God is good..
Ocean 13
Yeah... I caught Ocean 13 with joyce and corinth.. Think I haven't been catch a movie for a looong time... It was hilarious ( the last time i laugh genuinely hard was @ Benny Hinns' meeting.. ) though some jokes are rather crap.. but i'm in the crappy mood..
hmmm good comic relief after the eventful GSS challenge.. Not the team leaders' fault.. Guess that we played a part too .. by not forsee the "what ifs". Enuff said.. at least the members had fun...
hmmm.. back to Ocean thirteen .. George Clooney and Brad Pitt still look yummilious.. haha.. and i adore the geekish looking Matt Damon too.. ahah.. hmmm good that I didn't fall trap to sleep demon.. cuz it was a long day (of lo-boing) and eventful evening.. and watching a movie @ 2150.. hmmm had a great talk with joyce and corinth... :)
let me start on the "thank You" cards...

(cuz ivory upgraded the angpow box size for wedding dinner.. ) keke.. think vory and i were rather proUd of the angpOw box and guest book... will insert picture when uploaded.. phone recharging now..
speaking of phone.. my brother bLessed me with the shiny blue SE Z610i haha... (cuz he think it's too "ku niang".. and he thought the phone was not of trade-in value... well.well.. he didn't demand it back even though now he realised that it's worth $150 trade in.. haha.. just checked the price.. RP $497..without line..) tHank God for the material blessing... and haha.. shopping money for my ho chi minh trip on fri.. (not much but at least a bitsy cuz this month my pay will be halved..)
hmm back to emerge...
well.. the Only session that I didn't sit in the main hall - S5.. not that we (cgl, cherie, charlene, long and me ) were late.. bUt were doing the admin and last min rescue session for S6 & S7.. Not much results BUT we received more than we had expected.. the presence in the overflow area was overwhelming.. OR perhaps it's not the venue.. it's the heart... Simple message YET... reminded us of the very first time when we encountered Jesus.. aNd truly.. man may not see BUT God see.. well... the encounter was beyond words... Truly Greater things ahead....
Sunday S8 was awesome... THe LAST trumpet... and it's in our hands...
All in all.. it can be just hype unless you translate the experience and revelation into ACTION... So.. watch this space for more....

the subtle kind of rebellion is most dangerous
it was an interesting week since Sunday.. went to the midsummer night dream @ fort canning park with r8ch.. [got lost after wandering a while but thank God we made it back... PTL! :)]
never found it so relaxing while serving my notice period... just found it so unfulfilling... while.. 15 more days to FREEDOM..
went to "remedified" my hair on wed.. yeah.. Jeanie is back.. (though she's working only part time.. actually she can concentrate to be a taitai.. and take care of her new born.. ) well.. at least now it's not so unkempt.. and yup.. i wish the growth will accelerate.. miss my long hair days..
hmm back to the title..
sign.. i detest the work of the devil.. the subtle thought that i entertain once too often... the accumulation of toxin can kill..
once again.. i get the "gentle reminder" from the cgl.. (it's well-deserved.. i knew it the moment i reacted in that manner.. well.. in the jargon term.. it is known as walking in the flesh.. - in simple term.. rebellion.. ) way thru'out the second session of emerge today.. i felt the prick - actually avoiding is unless.. Sigh.. what's wrong.. i kept rebelling..
despite being over the youthy age.. i really love attending emerge conferences.. had the privilege to attend the emerge since the very 1st one.. and even served all the services for last year's (despite the status of "Working adult") well.. not just that.. it's the Presence of God.. the serenity.. the love.. the commitment made..
This year is different.. no longer the lovely dovy feeling only, but like a double-edged sword.. experienced the pierecing end too.. time of discipling.. (by the Word.. then by the MOG) a new level of commitment.. a higher level of ploughing thru'... yet the decision lies with me.. do i want to stay comfortable or.. rise up... i dislike the spurs of motivation... it ought to be steady stream.. instead of the abrupt moving and jerky stop and reclining..
Urgh...
June is here... five months have passed.. i can't undo what's done in jan - may.. but i have yet seven more months to "remedify".. New season... new job.. renewed dream/vision .. ( He reminded me what He spoke to me 5 years ago @ a zone meeting @ the ulu ulu Anglican retreat centre... and what I truly desired... the full time commitment... YET.. if i can't overcome this tiny hurdle now.. i can't move on... )
the trickle is felt again.. the river will flow..
i felt so undeserved of the expectations HE and the others have of me..
I can only respond by this :
the gifts you have given to me.. i placed at Your hand..
* looking forward to rest of the sessions.. *
p.s. rachel.. thanks for everything today... :)
jadyn.. yup.. i will press on... :)
