23 Aug 03 - 30 Nov 05 一段宾主关系的结束
再过多几百分钟, 我即将与KKZ结束宾主关系, 画上事业旅程碑里的第一个休止符. 心中难免有些许感触, 毕竟我不是冷血的…
在这儿, 我曾经过着顽皮, 放肆 但却需要独立和有耐力的日子. 好坏参半.说不上极佳, 但也不至于超烂. 也许我尚未定性, 喜欢寻求突破,让生活有点新的尝试,新的冲刺. 简单扼要来说,就是不干安于现状; 与其说KKZ不好, 我宁可说是我的要求太高,太苛刻!
其实要踏出离职这步并不易, 绝非想做就做. 间中,内心也经历了十分多的挣扎. 我担心自己的去留为影响公司的存活,我害怕他们没有了我就像断了一条腿般, 我紧张我会背负着不义,反骨仔的罪名…一次又一次没有兑现的诺言叫我失望难过, 我讨厌欺哄, 恨恶不诚实. 这过程丝毫都不好玩, 朋友还取笑说为何我只是换一份工作却需要挂虑这么多…
我斟酌了许久,终于行动了. 其实没有心理准备我会再次投身于色彩打印这行. 神的惊喜常常是出人意料的. 我并不觉得能获得这份新工作是理所当然的;我深知若非神参与在其中, 一切将不可能成就!
提出辞呈时更让我感触良多.也许很多时候大家只会顾及个人的利害关系吧, 难道追求自己的梦也是一种错吗? 这梦极有可能会带我走上名利, 金钱的斗争, 甚至会迷失自我. 求神施与怜悯, 保守我的心,岂不知我活着应该像光明之子么,目的就是要将生命的道表明出来!

Random thoughts on 30th Nov
Today is the second last day at work... Hmm gonna to end this phase soon... mixed feeling
Just some thoughts...
It is a place where I started to practise what I hv learnt in SCE, NTU.
I get to learn and use OO programming extensively for my baby software, Focoltone ICCS.
I learn about color science and some other knowledges here.
I met a good teacher who is my ex-proj leader who guides me thru the process.
My VP aka boss wife is very capable, nice, smart and intelligent. My boss is so blessed to have her as wife.
I can always leave on the dot.
I can chat online, but the baseline is I gotta complete my work on time, which I do.
I always get disappointments with those unrealistic and irresponsible promises. hate it!
I am being exposed to those OEM and distributers.
Went to TBWA. Wow, it opens my eyes man...keke... Those designers are so pro =)
Cried twice in the office. both caused by 2 chinese colleagues...
Had nice & tasty food like nonya cuisine, rojak, lor mee, claypot laksa, YTF, prawn noodles etc.
Print stuffs from high-end laser printer 9500. The quality is very GOOD and we print like nobody biz!!
Attend HP TTT events... eye-opening opportunities.
People I met...from SIMTech, Canon, KM, Ricoh, HP, EFI, TBWA, A&P, KKZ... I am thankful for those encounters, be it good or bad.
Gave training to those management ppl and technical persons.
Did reverse engineering and able to decipher other systems...kekek
Cant possible name all... God has been with me all the time... There are times that I am nasty , evil or even down, but God has never leave me alone. Thank you, Lord.

Selling shoes in African?
A company manufactures shoes as well as selling it. There are these 2 salesperson, asked to go to Africa to assess the possibility of building a factory there to manufacture shoes. Here are the conversations between the salespersons and their boss after the recee and assessment.
Salesperson A: Boss, I think you will lose $$ if you were to open a factory there. Those Africans do not wear shoes at all. So it is very hard to sell? So just throw away the idea lar...
Salesperson B: Boss, I have a great news for you!!! I see the opportunity there... we have the whole market since no one has done it before. If everyone buys one, we sure make a big money!!! Quick come!!!
You see... we can have two different response w.r.t. certain thing. It depends on how you perceive it, either to be negative or super positive. We have the choice of deciding how we want to look at it.
So nothing is absolute except for our Lord God

Finally I tendered. =)
Thank God that it was a peaceful talk wid boss. Hmm he still tries to keep me and dun wan to accept the letter. Argh!! I have made up my mind, so better be firm with my stand.
Anyway, I look forward for the new challenges ahead. I cant 100% guarantee that I can cope very well in HP but I will try my best and rely on God's mercies to survive. HIS grace is sufficient for me, as what HE has promised.
Think unlikely for me to leave on 1 Dec 05. OOps... how how?
==============================================
Met CCF grads last night. Hmm surprisingly 11 people turned up. Good catch up and fellowship session. We went to rice table den kopi-ing at city link. Those are the buddies who went thru thick and thin with me while I was in NTU. Appreciate their presence and I really enjoyed the time spent together. Ah well, those were the days.. Now everyone has graduated and most secure a good job. God blessings indeed.
Just a question... which company u work for really make a difference to you and how people look at you? Haiz... sad to say YES but this is the REALITY!
==============================================
I reliased that I still like programming... I made some changes for my software baby, ICCS. Feel so proud and happy. Hmmm think I may not have this kind of chances le... Ah, i am the one who choose not to deal with this anymore... so dun complain ya =)

Confirmed!
Today I went to Hewlett Packard to sign the deal. Yes, it is confirmed;soon I will be HP staff, wish granted. I am grateful for the grace and mercy.
Why makes u think that you deserve to earn alot?! What makes u feel dat ur salary defines ur values?! Your company, status, how much u earn really can tell the world tat you are elite?! Nah..no no ...not at all.
Rem: we are only an instrument of God. He has a purpose for you when He puts u there. There will be tests and temptations, but place your trust in God and pursuit the sanctified life. We are called to be His children, so shine for Him in whatever you are doing!
I look forward to my December... a month w/o salary. Haa... hopefully can go for a trip...kekek...planning planning....
Lord God, I know I have to keep my promise. And I will ;D

1.5 hrs long Interview at Hewlett Packard
Yesterday was an overwhelming day... hoho... feeling happy =)
Was on leave as going to HP at 2pm. Hmm thank God that I have peace in my heart, was calm and steady.
Spent the first hour with 3 engineers. At first cant really catch what that Angmoh said and i kept praying. Asked for wisdom to understand what he said. Thank God, I was able to catch his words. *cold Sweat* Then they started to bombard me with lotsa technical questions w.r.t color output, catridges, case studies, projects i worked on etc etc. Although there were times that I did not answer well but I am actually very grateful for the opportunity. Feel quite happy when that angmoh said very good for my answers ;p In fact, I reliase dat God has prepared me for every step. If not for last mth HP's TTT, i guess i wont be able to answer those qns confidently; if not for the projects i was and am doing, I wont know that much...etc etc... Why i always so narrow-minded?!! arghhh...
Then the manager came in and talked to me one-on-one. Well, she asked what my hobbies are, the positions i held during Uni days, how i think abt my job etc. It lasted .5 hr. Thank God for carrying me thru all these. 1.5hrs in all!! Never thought that I can talk for so long, like being interrogated like dat. Haa....
It was an interesting and fruitful interview. I learnt alot and I experience His presence all the time. Ah well, I have done my part, so I need to learn to put everything in His hands. Trust and be submissive to whatever outcome is. In short, I am happy with my performance today if compared to the Friday one. Not by myself, but God's blessings.
OK, wait patienly ba, LY =)

Back to office againz...
Finally I am back, bagged 2 certs... kekek...not bad at all, with the help of another 3 AP trainers... haha...
I enjoyed myself for the past 5.5 days at HP TTT event. Good exposure and encounters with the people there.
Being one of the Asian roses there, I gotta learn to adapt to this multicultural event. Guess I am the youngest and participant with least experiences ba.
Met this office manager, Ms RM. She is a kind and nice lady. Helping her German boss to setup Intracon and taking care of everything. Quite a capable lady. She was HP employee b4 joining Intracon. WOw, she told me how she worked herself up from a technical person, to sales, presales person ,then working Internet campaign stuffs...and she job hop 2-3 years. Amazing!! She tried pretty loads of stuffs and have quite a number of exposure like giving a lecture to 300-400 audiences. Wowow... She shared her views on her previous jobs and ex-employer. In addition, she is a sporty lady. She plays gold, tennis, badminton, rollerblade, swim etc. Adventurous sia...
I dunno how to describe the feeling w.r.t TTT event in words. I am just feeling thankful and grateful for this opportunity. Thankful for the people, courseware, food, luxury et privilege. Is HE preparing me for something greater and more exciting? I dunno. But I look forward to find out more.
Thank You, Father!

眼张得更大了...
这几天来我有机会认识和看到更大的一幅图...
原来我已经慢慢的走进世界之窗...在一个小岛上有机会体验什么叫globalisation, 跨文化, 这才搞清楚何谓 cosmopolitan city 也!
惊喜的发现原来自己参与的训练课程,所教授的内容皆属国际化也... 拖惠普的福,我有机会晋升在这舞台,成为其中的一份子! 我从来没有想到我能够有机会接触这一切.
视野也因此更宽广了, 更不愿意拘束在这小小的舞台, 我想和他们分一杯羹,争取出位的机会! 这种欲望挺可怕的hor!
一顿饭竟花上1000元,为免太夸张了吧?! 这样吃可以吃掉一个人一个月的薪金, 似乎有点奢侈, but who cares?! 只要不管你我口袋的事,管他呢... 大企业的雇员就可以这样浪费吗? 世界变了,难道他们才是人上人,非得要大鱼大肉才能招待他们? 非也! 在神眼中,人人平等. 只是神给予每个人的计划不同,但这一切在神眼中都是好的. 这是我一直以来的信念,我也盼望我能一直持受下去.

4 large pizzas, sotong balls, chicken nuggets, breadtalk cake, chips, titbits, packet drinks...that's what we had for last xiaozu @ NYH
Around 25+ turned up last night. We eat, share and crack jokes. Oh ya, we celebrate JJ and YN 's bday. Was a heartwarming session. Everyone get to share abt their lives.
Many a times, we struggle, & we feel peace, we complain, & we cont grumbling, we grief, & we lol etc etc. God has never forsaken us at any moment. HE is always with us. How comforting it is to know such a fact. We had lots bible studies but the most important part is how do we apply it in our daily lives. The trials and tests are simply so real and too tough for us.
God's grace is sufficient for us. The father will give u the things u need when HE really think there is a need. Aren't all the daddy teh same?
One more sem to go =)

my homeeee...
Hmm had a 2.5hrs long project hour. Haiyo, keep repeating the same old stories.I am getting sicked of it.
Somehow I found myself drifting away from the team. Hmm a bit half-hearted and have no drive to take part in the discussion & execution. Haiz, I should not behave like dat. Getting more and more negative. Hmm they still do not update us with the business progress. A bit sad tough. Maybe WL has his own reasons ba, so be it.
I met dis chinese guy, DX. very clean looking PHD-to be. Haa... wid a spec, look very approachable and nice. Haa.. but when he starts to speak up, hmmm some points being deducted...kekek =)
***************************************************
Had a fun dazu last night. Although it was only a bible quiz and bible verse memorising night, I simply enjoy the fellowship. Think i must confess a bit, sometimes i think I am being too real to them. As in i laugh, complain, shout whenever i want to. Haa... i can be very sarcastic and particular at times. Really thankful that they accept me as part of them.
One sem down. I have another sem left. I think I will miss everyone one in ccf and the moments we spend tog. I called it my home as this is where i belong. Their love, acceptance, caring, forgiveness and sometimes scoldings...haha ;p

weird chinese...
So what if all the bosses are back in town? They din even bother to greet and update us. Haiz so sad. Although I was looking forward to their comeback, now I dont really think so. Perhaps out of sight is better?
Haa.. What kind of employee I am!!!
Think this YM very cute. He really acts according to instructions without asking why. Juz do blindly. When RW and I queried him for some of the calculations, he appeared to have little knowledge on what he is doing and push the responsibilities to MB and those profile creators. Haiyo, I know I am being picky and choosy. But you shd at least understand what you are doing ma. So when people ask you and you know how to reason it out.
Then during lunchtime, RW was kind enuff to ask YM how his wife job hunting coming along. Guess what?! YM kept quiet for a while and he blurted out "None of your business. Why should be bother others affairs. Should people tell you how many kids they want?"
RW was kind enuff, he din talk back. If I were him, I would definitely tell him off. What's wrong with showing concern? People ask becoz they care. You think we are so free to bother mer. Haiz... are all the chinese is the same? I wonder

Got this sms yest. It says: "Go and look for the doors. God will guide you to the door."
Hmm how true it is? I dunno. Is it a sensible thing to do as in find the way out first myself? Hmmm....
Haa.. What kind of employee I am!!!
Think this YM very cute. He really acts according to instructions without asking why. Juz do blindly. When RW and I queried him for some of the calculations, he appeared to have little knowledge on what he is doing and push the responsibilities to MB and those profile creators. Haiyo, I know I am being picky and choosy. But you shd at least understand what you are doing ma. So when people ask you and you know how to reason it out.
Then during lunchtime, RW was kind enuff to ask YM how his wife job hunting coming along. Guess what?! YM kept quiet for a while and he blurted out "None of your business. Why should be bother others affairs. Should people tell you how many kids they want?"

罗马书8章
回来公司的日子更是无聊,但至少时间过得快些,也比较有人气...
终于,我行动了.我要耐心等待... =)
*************************************************************************
查考罗马书8章让我获益匪浅...
1. 当我们相信神时,基督的灵就进入我们的心中.所以我们要学习过一个体贴基督的生活.意思就是说顺从神的教导,遵行他的诫命.
2. 圣灵也能体恤我们的需要.在这败坏的世代中,他和我们一同叹息.好神奇啊!! 当我们不知道要怎样祷告时,她用说不出的叹息为我们向父神祷告.有时候我们真的是只知腹中苦,也不知该如何向周遭的人诉苦.有苦自己知啊! 假如你有办法用言语或文字来表达你的苦,那它就不是真的很苦.苦应该是非笔墨所能形容的!对吗?
3. 没有任何的东西能使我与神隔绝,不管是生,是死,是天上,抑或是地下. 所以,圣灵也绝对不会离开你,除非你选择不信.上帝的爱如此恒久和坚韧. 试想:在患难苦难当中, 我有怀疑神的爱吗? 哎...罗8:28 万事互相效力,叫爱神的人得益处,就是按他旨意被召的... 所有发生的事情都是好的,是在神的计划和旨意里面.它不一定对你有利,但它绝对是有益处的.记得,除非你爱神,否则...呵呵...

after a long long weeekend
Juz came back from a 4-days break. Feel lethargic and dun feel like working at all! This sucks, isn't it? ;p
Had a good time with family. Spent most of the time on the journey and makan-ining non-stop. As a result, gain a few Kgs. arghhh!! Practically we did nothing much for the whole trip... Well, it was the atmosphere and bond that counts. Also, slacking at times is a blessing too. Keep eating and koon-ing =) Indeed i am a pig...
Went to Galilee church last Sunday. Hmm a church which nurtures me and equips me with many of my current gifts. I am thankful to God, the pastors, the kind elders who touch my life. Without them, I wont be who I am today. New generations have grown up and now it 's their turn to stand up and lead. Good good.
****************************************************
Today is the 4th day of October. Hmm i have been grumbling for that long and yet nothing happen. I am tempted to try ST since gd fren is there also. But do I really want to be a SE? One thing I am very sure is I do not want to face computer all the time! I am very clear about this. I have been praying everyday for that UBS thingy. I dun wan to get distracted bcoz of ST thingy.* concentrate concentrate, focus focus*
I thought I shd have faith in HIM, why am i still trying to find ways on my own. He has a purpose for everything. Even If He does not allow, I am still OK and will learn to be calm and submissive. At least I try and have passion in it. I want to be accountable to myself and God, of course.
I somehow know what I want but I do not know how do I get there. Will I ever get there? I dunno. Which path to take? Is that the correct one? I dunno either.*puzzled and confused*

Days in SIMTech, NTU
I reliase I dun really like programming! Those DOS command looked aliens to me and I do not know how to communicate with them!!!
Unable to use this JAM/MR tool to build the application, therefore cant add in any trace info. Oops, how to do? I do not know ler... On the other hand, I am thankful that I get to know self a little bit more. My interest might not be in coding... Hmmm perhaps this is why some doors are never opened? Dunno. Maybe, possible or it could be just a wild and silly thought only...
Hate to come SIMTech at times as need to take bus179 to NTU. Althought the journey is shorter and comparably nearer to my house, I dislike the inconveniences. Kekek.. spolit girl! Ah well, i get to taste lots nice n cheap food here. Kekek.. and I was so happy to spot a few hallmates, and CFers yesterday during meal hours. So nice and heartwarming esp when i saw junyi and darren. Since 1999 we were in the same hall till we grad...haha.. how time flies.. and now junyi is back for Master while Darren is wid NIE. Unbelievable!!!

Misunderstanding
==============
Had a good working adult grp last Friday. It was about 'Misunderstanding'. Many a times, we tend to see things from different perspectives and thus different views. Nothing bad actually, we just have to learn to think, listen, understand and discern the variants. If you are lacking of wisdom, ask from HIM! (James 1:5)
Morning breakfast
==============
This is the first time I see most of them so punctual and enthu for our CG gathering. It was a farewell breakfast for the 2 girls and a mini celebration for YT whose birthday was on 24th. Thank God for the time. I am grateful!!!
Mayo shredded chicken, mayo-tuna, tomato, cheese cubes, wholemeal bread, papaya, watermelon, duku, milk and orange juice. That's what we had for our bf!! I enjoy preparing food for those I want to share love with. Although it is not very yummy and fantastic but it is the thoughts that count! I like cooking, i like baking and I love food! haha.. oops... must watch what you eat... haha =)
Post Mid-autumn celebration
======================
Met many old aunties and uncles from old Nantah last night. They are a bunch of lovely, fun-loving and kind ex-Cfers. They shared their testimonies on how they 'borrow' time from God and How gracious God is in their lives. Guess what, they were so happy to see us, the new blood participating in their activities. We look extremely precious! haa.. only a few of us turned up actually. Gd fren n Lio, JY, YF, Andy n SM. Had a nice chat wid gd fren. Thank God for the frenship we had over the years. The trust and the honesty we have for one another... a fren whom I can turn to when I am not OK. Hope this frenship will continue to blossom as we grow older =)
I prayed b4 the gathering. I know I will see them and thank God that the relationship has improved and I truly believe that In Christ, there should not be hatred but love and forgiveness. I pray to God that I can truly released from that burden and have reconciliation in HIM. I can, by His grace and strength!
===========================================
It is a brand new week! Yahoo..i look forward to the family trip....kekek ;p

祂至今仍然活在我们当中!
Got this reminder yesterday during xiao zu...
虽然神有时候没有应允和成就我们所祈求的事, 这并不表示祂不在!! 祂依然在我们当中!
I am goin to lead this song dis sun. This song keeps reminding me that I need to do things in accordance to His plan and purposes. I need to trust my Lord wholeheartedly in all things and believe that He makes all things beutiful in His time.
若非耶和华建造房屋 建造的人就枉然劳力
若非耶和华看守城池 看守的人就枉然儆醒
我行若非神所愿 一切将拆毁
我行若无神祝福 一切都将枉然
我所需要持受的 只是一颗心
一颗完全相信的 坚定倚靠的心

20th day of the 9th month in 2005
How time flies! Today is the 20th day of moi Septembre le. What have I done for the past 20 days?
Do not know what to say
------------------------
Recently I suddenly become speechless when it comes to prayers. I do not know how should I pray and what to tell my abba father in heaven. Loss of words and I become so numb. I really need Holy spirit to intercede for me.
I know He knows what is in my mind and He knows everything about me. He sees it and He will not just leave me alone. I know, I know... Someone suggested that I can just sing songs when I dunno what & how to pray. It makes sense, ya?
Something to give thanks
-------------------------
Seeing myself participate more in church ministry recently i.e. Labis mission trip, Lishi CG17 group and Working adult group. I guess it is time for me to respond to God's calling towards the congregations. This is something good and worth of giving thanks. I am sure I will get to learn alot. Well, it wont be an easy path and it can be quite challenging and tough job.
God lets me reliase that I need to be gentler and more humble while working wid the rest. He allows me to see the vision and I have the responsilities to share with the rest. I need to be more careful with my thoughts and my words so that what i do, i say, i think do honour God and is God-fearing.
Heard this statement from Dr Loo recently during a talk on God's sovereignty.
Proverbs 4:23 Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life.
You know what... our THOUGHTs control our ACTIONs, then soon it becomes our HABIT. Eventually it develops into our CHARACTERs and it affects our LIVEs and becomes PART OF US.
Isn't it scary? Hmm what you think can have such a great impact on your life! Do you reliase it? Come on, LY... you better dwell in the Lord always and ask HIM to guard your HEART =)
People come people go
----------------------
Hmm finally 2 students are leaving for UK soon. Glad to have a chance to actually lead them as a group. Sometimes I feel so close yet I do feel so far at times. Well, I really hope that they can continue to witness God in whatever they are doing and may God mould them into a better and God-fearing person.
Like to mention one of them. I feel that she is faithful, gentle and a person with gratitude. A very simple lady and I am glad that I actually able to grow with her in certain part of her life journey. Maybe I have influenced her some bad values... haha =p ah well, I do have some positive influences too. Hee =) I recall the sms which she sent was quite heart warming and it has since become my reminder when I feel discouraged.
It says: When the going gets tough, toughen your faith
Indeed a very simple and normal message, somehow at that point of time it touches me =)

SIghz...
Ms Bong reminds me this in response tio my poem...
****
No matter how good things are in your life,there is always something bad that needs to be worked on. and no matter how bad things in your life, there is always something good you can thank God for. you can focus on your purposes, or focus on your problems.
****
I totally agree but I do not know how do I relate... haiz.. mental blocked.

以为...其实...
以为满足 其实内心有些空虚
以为喜乐 其实里面纳闷得很
以为忙碌 其实又悠闲又无聊
以为可定下心来 其实更举棋不定
以为平静 其实是暴风雪来临前夕
以为知道 其实脑子一片空白
太多以为... 导致我不懂该如何面对现实...
惊慌失措... 思路乱得很...
我讨厌...我不喜欢.... 这样的安排!!!

some disorganized thoughts
Hmm somehow I fear of coming to work. Scared to see his face and talk to him. The morale in office is low... I gotta 振作 abit... must... Good fren and nice proj manager are gone and I'm a bit sad...
***************************************************
A leader should see the vision first from God then he can only impart it to the fellow followers. Actually I always think that God's expectations is our expectations too. So so we need to work harder towards the goal. We need to 体恤 mankind's weaknesses but we cant always compromise in certain things that God does not honour. Haiz... Maybe I expect too much? Not humble enough? Too high ego? But i was trained like that ler... during my teenage times, uni days and now!!!
I shared with JW and SM some of my thoughts ..at least i can share it freely and as I wished. Thanks God for the brothers I met in CCF, they are quite helpful,wise and reliable.
When you have problems, do not ask 'Why me?'. But ask 'What you want me to learn out of it?'. OK, i am learning...
****************************************************
NCS? NCS! NCS... Should I try it out? Dun really know how should I react... OK, I will try and if the door is opened, I will walk towards the door.

my labour day + Tioman trip
5th Sept is my labour day of the year!! I took one day leave n rest at home. But it is for good reason.
I was reminded twice a day for the same message and I am thankful for the light that God has shed upon me.
First reminder - daily bread
====================
1. No matter what our task, it's our duty to work for God's glory (Colossians 3:23). In this sense, no job is better than another. Each should result in honor to God.
2. The way we work can earn the respect of those who do not follow Christ (1 Thessalonians 4:11-12). A boss shouldn't have to tell a Christian to use time well or to work hard.
3. Our work is one way to fulfill our dual purpose: to love God and others. Showing love to our co-workers is a good way to show that we love God (Matthew 22:37-40).
4. We must work to provide for those who depend on us. Harsh words of criticism are reserved for those who don't take care of their family (1 Timothy 5:8).
Having a job can be hard work. Even for those who truly enjoy their jobs, it's nice to have a Labor Day breather. But until the day comes when our work is over, our task is to make our labor a testimony to God's glory. —Dave Branon
Second reminder = ELder Yong @ Monday Blue talk
=====================================
1. Work is sacred. It is given to us by God. God wants Adam to work even before he sins.
2. Enjoy the labour of your work. Work hard and enjoy what you gets
3. Always go back to God, align with His teaching. The most difficult lesson is life is to abide God's teaching in the most simplest things i.e. work, relationship
4. Try to do something with eternal values rather than temporal values
God allows us to do certain things and make sure you make selection not beyond the boundary He has set. He still grant us freedom and let us choose what kind of man we want to be. But do not forget that you need to be responsible for what you choose.
Always, go back to God n seek His wills.
Actually I am going thru some changes at work especially. I am worried that I am unable to face the challenges ahead. It is gonna to be tough but challenging. I need to shoulder more responsibilities and learn new things at work. Somehow I am lacking of patience and a humble soul. I am not sure the path I am taking on is correct anot, I am in a dilemma but I always think that God's grace is suffiicient for me! Amen.
**************************************************
Went to Tioman for my Open water diving course. It was fun. I tried something different and that is challenging! I am kinda proud of myself and I really thank God for the scuba clan I went with and the nice instructors I have.
Thank God that we are safe throught the trip. I guess I get to know others more and vice versa, which is a good thing.
Thank God again for this dive experience. I might be going again... Hee =)

Thank God that the second pool lesson was OK! I start to enjoy myself liao. I am grateful to those who actually pray for me. It is so nice and pleasant to know that you are being remembered in their prayers.
The fellow teammates are kind and encouraging also. They are Sherry, Qiyu, Qingxian, & FangJing. Oh ya, Roy is indeed a very patient and responsible dive master. Glad to have him as our instructor. By His grace and mercies, I slowly regain my confidence and want to dive again!
I still have not get a hang of the skills I learnt for past 2 sessions. Well, practise makes perfect. I must persevere and do not give up. Cast all my anxiety to my Lord God for He cares for me =)
We will be setting off for our Tioman trip in 7 hrs time! whoohoo!! =D Hope we can enjoy ourselves and have fun!!! Enjoy the nature that our Lord God, the creator of heaven and earth give to us!!! Hmm so must keep this golden rule in my mind, DO NOT STOP BREATHING....n be careful!!!

dive dive dive
I feel exhausted, physically and mentally...
Been attending scuba diving lesson since Monday. Theory part was OK. Err... the pool part, haiz..feel sad and demoralised.
I feel so stupid. I fear of trapping myself in the water! HOw how? I am going to Tioman in 2 days time!
Please pray for the calmness and a sound mind to think and act carefully while I am underwater for maybe 10m++... Kinda scared and worried actually. Din sleep last night, all night long this 'BCD' word keep flashing thru my mind. *sob sob* insecure is the word to use.
What if i become too panicky while stay underwater? =*(
tonight is the second night of the pool lesson. Gosh, more difficult stuffs to learn... OK, be steady... This trip shd be relaxing, no stress please...
btw, I thx God dat the instructor, Roy is quite nice and patient. Really, i feel I am a bit slow n clumsy =(

My ex-boss is back!
Hmm just now had a great time talking to ex-boss. He came back to start off a new project. Finally we can work together again!
While briefing him some of the issues I encountered at work, i suddenly blurt a confession, saying that I want to quit! haha.... Then he sensed something wrong and asked if I have time for a talk. Yup, i am free today...so...
Was telling him how I fare for the past few months since he left and venting out some frustrations in front of him. Felt like i was bad-mouthing the management. But seriously I cant really see eye to eye to their strategy and goals. I told him how umcomfy I am with the bosses' conduct. Then I told him if there is a chance, I will choose to try out for new things.
Actually he is not surprised dat I have such thinking. Ehh...he is a good listener and a very kind cum nice guy. He shared some of his thoughts and insights. Hmm thank God for the wonderful time although i do feel bad and guilty for what I have commented on the management.
Haiz, now the move does not depend on me but the heavenly boss. I actually feel a bit discouraged after so many days of waiting. The feeling sucks. But I have told myself to have more patience and stay positive. =)

Psalm 62 - a good reminder
Psalm 62
1 My soul finds rest in God alone;
my salvation comes from him.
2 He alone is my rock and my salvation;
he is my fortress, I will never be shaken.
3 How long will you assault a man?
Would all of you throw him down—
this leaning wall, this tottering fence?
4 They fully intend to topple him
from his lofty place;
they take delight in lies.
With their mouths they bless,
but in their hearts they curse.
5 Find rest, O my soul, in God alone;
my hope comes from him.
6 He alone is my rock and my salvation;
he is my fortress, I will not be shaken.
7 My salvation and my honor depend on God [a] ;
he is my mighty rock, my refuge.
8 Trust in him at all times, O people;
pour out your hearts to him,
for God is our refuge.
1 My soul finds rest in God alone;
my salvation comes from him.
2 He alone is my rock and my salvation;
he is my fortress, I will never be shaken.

7 My salvation and my honor depend on God [a] ;
he is my mighty rock, my refuge.

pour out your hearts to him,

What happen?!
I dunno how happen to me? myself and my appetite?!
Dunno why, dun crave for food these few days, dun feel like eating and hungry, maybe! Hmmm... wonder why...
I think I am calmer and expressionless these few days. However, I do have peace in me. The peace which comes from God. I know I should be still and know that HE is GOD, the LORD of my life.
----------------------------------------------------------
Thank God for a freshie last night. She got to know us during ECA fair and she actually took the trouble to come and join our BS. Very touched and thankful =)
Had a good BS last night. Hmm we cant self proclaim our own righteousness. There isn't any righteous person in this world. Only by His grace and via His blood, we are cleansed and then justified by faith.
The book of Romans, the most recent sermon, QT readings and recent incidents again make me reliase that it is so tough to shine for the Lord in this world. Lord, please teach me and mould me into a better instrument, a better person. So that when people see me, they see God. Amen.

If it is Your will
Lord, if it is Your will, please take me away from here. I feel a bit depressed and upset. I dunno how to shine for You!! I dun wan to be a quitter and yet I feel so lousy and shit about myself.
If the doors are not opened, please grant me a submissive and obedient heart. I found it very hard to manage self and them. Feeling directionless and swim to nowhere.

God and the Marketplace
There is a universe of difference between hearing a sermon about God and hearing the God of the sermon speak to our hearts. One tickles the mind and trips the ego; the other touches the heart and transforms the life
Recognise you need to hear what God has to say- you’re not going to figure it out – life is too complex
Stop complaining, be thankful, remember God’s goodness then listen carefully
Knowing about grace and experiencing it are two different things. Grace, when truly experienced, transforms you. We experience grace when we reliase how badly we’ve messed up, how ugly we are, how we do not deserve anything but JUDGEMENT from God and yet God chooses to bless us greatly!
Grace is getting what we do not deserve and mercy is not getting what we deserve.
Today the rewards of a job have become the all-consuming focus of a person’s life – we fight, fume and frustrate ourselves over it. Our identity, self-worth and self-esteem become tied up in our work. Our work becomes our security, the measure of success, our significance, status and substance. This was NEVER the purpose of work intended by God.
God is the ultimate provider – the be all and end all. He ordained work only that it might glorify Him. You should aspire for work excellence only because excellent work glorifies God. Yet today, work excellence is pursued and exalted above the God it is meant to glorify. The means has become an end.
This is the Satan’s greatest deception to make you think that you are holding the net and catching fish, that you are in caught. The reality is after awhile, you can no longer let go of the net. The ‘success’ of your day has solely determined by the amount of your catch. All you begin to think about is how to catch more and more fish. At this point, you’re caught in your own net. The fish you caught really baits you. In the name of efficiency, we have begun to compromise everything – our distinction (love, compassion, mercy, grace, justice), our relationships (God, family, friends), our being (our principles, purpose, personhood). Yes, we have compromised EVERYTHING!
God not only cared about the workplace, but He wanted to be right in the centre of it. Jesus can and wants to use our workplaces not only to share His word, but also to bless you and those who work with you – if only we would stop striving and trying so hard on our own. He wants us to stop getting all consumed with the fish, and stop relying on ourselves or our nets but rather, be guided by His word, His principles, His wisdom, His direction, His purposes, in all that we do.
Blessed is the man who ceases to strive and know that God is God.

Hewlett Packard?!
Went to HP to meet the APJ Training Manager. Hmm she is a nice lady. Somehow I feel that boss has overpromise & oversell. We are only good in HICIP, not all the training modules that HP offers.
He claimed that we are capable to deliever any training in AP. this 'we' includes me! *faint*
'I am not too sure with all the modules', I said. But boss told Celest, we are GOOD in everthing! Gosh.. after the meeting, boss told me not too be too honest. haiz..
I think I dun like to bull-shit too much. Boss has overdone it. I feel so umforfotable. It is something against my belief. *sob sob*
The 'best' part is HP will enrol me in this AP Train-the-Trainer course in Oct. Hmm thought I hope to leave this place soon, how am I to tell my boss that I dun wan to commit in such thing?
It is a good opportunity for me to expose to new stuffs and working wid big mnc like HP is always a dream to me. But I know deep in my heart is that my boss wont want me to involve too much in this training business. His purpose of involving me into this
TTT thing is to establish our company network.
Haiz...i dunno.

太可怕了
[云上太阳]
无论是住在 美丽的高山 或是躺卧在 阴暗的幽谷
当你抬起头 你将会发现 主已为你我而预备
云上太阳 它总不改变 虽然小雨洒在脸上
云上太阳 它总不改变 哈 它不改变
------------------------------------------------
每当听到这首歌时,很自然的我会想到他
是他弹着吉他,口中哼啊哼,开心地介绍这首歌给我
这是一种很美好,很温馨的经验吧!
我感谢神
因着他, 我更认识自己的不足和软弱
更重要的是我被迫成长!! =) 认识何谓爱
因着这首歌,提醒我在大四时依然要相信
云上有太阳 雨后有彩虹 的真理
昨天我遇见了他和她 心中尚有些许的尴尬
但我深信
在神的旨意和时间里 祂的计划在是绝对无误的!

Sunrise vs Sunset
There will always be another sunrise tomorrow after the sunsets. It may not be the same as the one today, but u would have learnt to treasure it by then.

又是新的一个学年
开始了!开始了! 南大团契的活动开始了!
在昨天的小组里,我仿佛看见昔日的我,很想念昔日在这很温馨的家庭中与弟兄姐妹相处的日子...记忆里马上浮现 Xinyi, Dennis, Jinyong, Jiange, Lionel, Gayle, Weisin, abu, Jiewei, Suming, Ciying, huiying, dashu, xiuzhen ganshi 的样子... =)
我发现其中二人比以往更稳重, 更成熟了...不知道是不是担子重了,还是他们真的觉得自己该长大,学习大人该有的态度与样式.
我知道神会继续陶塑他们!
还有,神会在不同的时候兴起不同的人为祂的国度拼搏.
祂的恩典是足够团契的大大小小所用的!

what a lovely baby - kaiyue
Hoho, how time flies =) it is Monday again!!!
Last week wasn't too bad. At least I know what's in my mind and not so unsettled. But then I am not too sure whether the voice is frm my inner self or father in heaven. Ya, need wisdom to discern. Also, this color specialist said can recommend me to FX. Wow, my heart itchs again...haha...SO nice if I can work there! ;p
***************************************
Kinda enjoy my family time last weekend. Sis is back, auntie and 2 little cousins came and we had a big reunion last weekend. Jie bought me quite a lot of clothes from HK...kekek... Went to airport wid mum & dad, and kaiyue. Haiyo, kaiyue called me 'ma' and I am kinda paiseh coz dun wan people to mistakenly think I am her mum. Haaa.. Kaiyue is so adorable and pretty!!!!! She even imitate what I said! kekek...she has brought a lot of laughters and joy to Ng and Yong family since her birth. Thank God for this baby niece =)
Then it was Kaiyue's dedication at CEFC. So whole family attended the service there. Hmm baby has such a superb charisma, both grandparents from papa & mama sides, shushu and gugus, biao yis and yi po... wowo, all went to church becoz of bb... =D This shows that how we love bb and of course, the ultimate aim is to bring our kin to God as some are non-Christians. Then we headed towards Warren Golf & country club at CCK for family lunch. We had dim-sum. The food is not so fantastic and so so only. The service is terrible. We din eat much since they hardly push their cart/ trolley near us for order. Alamak... nvm lar...
*******************************************
Get to spend some time chatting with jie since she is going back soon. I know I cannot take all these for granted. It is pure God's grace and mercy to my family. Glad that I am able to share some of my work-related issues with her and she gave me some insights.
*******************************************
I think I am a bit overwhlemed with anxiety, worries, stress!!
I am scared! I am afraid that I am unable to handle things happenned in CCF in the way God desires. I am worried that I am unable to cope & advise CCFers wisely... How to understand and have effective communication? How to exert positive influence? How to be a God-fearing dajie? How to build up the relationship? How to help exco to come and serve together with one heart, one mind? Hoho, so many challenges ahead.
God is good. He is the nagivator and captain of my boat. Shine or rain, He is there! Since I have taken this path, I shall continue this journey faithfully. Meanwhile, I need to ask God for more wisdom and grace. I cant claim what I have done as It is God who makes things possible!!! Amen

Then I finally forced myself to call 2 freshies, Jon & ZM. Both sounded positive over the phone... phew...

I found it meaningful...
Change is an inevitable part of life. We're being shaped every minute we live. Every thought, every decision, every action, every emotion, every response is shaping us into one kind of person or another. Either we're moving toward likeness to Christ or away from Him into some sort of caricature of the person God intended us to be.
It's true, we lose some things as we age: physical strength, quickness, agility. But think of the calm God gives us, the peace He leaves us, the benefits of His salvation, and His faithfulness to us (Psalm 71:15).

Feeling lethargic and no motivation to work!!!
Is it a sign to tell me that I should move on or I should change and my attitude as my head controls my body??!!!
I do not know what I can do, to be honest. I am lost, lost in this choppy and stormy sea.
--------------------------------------------------------------

Frankly, I dun think I have get to know more about Singapore thru this event, it's the delightful company i had that made it fun!!

Thank You, Lord =) Thanks for giving me a chance to serve you as a worship leader. I sincerely hope that You honours and accepts our sacrifices. Amen

feeling weak
I am just feeling weak, physically and hoping to catch some rest over the weekend
I bought a nice pair of pant and a top. So happy... kekek...
Had a good family time last night. It is kinda rare that everybody is at home and watch TV together. So I am quite thankful for that. So staying at home at night time is always a very 幸福 and heart-warming experience.
Thank you Lord for giving me a supportive, caring and loving family!

This morning, I saw this mother and son walking towards the MRT station. The mum always walked very fast whilst the skinny 10 y/o son walked in a slower pace with a very big bag on his shoulder. The mum juz bo chap him and never ever turn her head back to check how her son was doing.
This is not the first time I saw them. The mum always behave like that, i feel disgusted. Arghhh....

金玉良言 + 苦口婆心
So far It has been a peaceful day =)
These are the advices and golden words I got for the past week
1. Learn to manage your boss
2. Learn to manage self. Changing is neither right or wrong, but more is it the time to change!
3. Learn to manage dislike is also a vital lesson to learn
4. Have some patience
5. Take care of yourself
6. Please rest at home if you feel uncomfortable. We need you for Ricoh Demo tomorrow
7. Be contended and have confidence in yourself
8. She is an amazing lady... haa...
9. Filter what people said & self evaluate
10. Spiritual Vs Secular
From father in heaven
1. Those who look to HIM are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame Ps34:5
2. In all things God works for the good of those who loves HIM. Romans 8:28

Canon vs Kikuze
I have always wanted to work in MNC such as Canon, which is one of my current client.
Recently I have been grumbling and do not feel good at work. So hoping to see the greener side of another place...
Ironically a Canon executive offerred me a job yesterday when I visited them. Hmm isn't that what I want? Wish granted?! Hoho... I do not know... The job seems dun much much propects and exposure but Canon lei, not everyone can work there!!!!
Although I complain about my job but I do like what I do except the fact that the company benefit is no good and management sucks. Haiz...
God is nice... He is good... In All things He works for the good of those who love HIM. I am sure God wans me to learn something out of it. Thank You, Lord! =)

Hmm..finally
I thank God for the youth and yyxz people in my church. They're willing to serve God in music ministry and faithfully go for the worship practises twice a week. Very 难得啊!
Think I finally fall sick le... having flu and mild fever. Isn't that what I want? Ah well, I hope I can spend a day to sleep and rest at home! Hmm but it is kinda unlikely coz I gotta meet clients today and tomorrow and more testings to be carried out by myself...
Had a terrible experience yesterday. Not too sure was/am i too stressed out? Feel like puking, headache and mild fever...
