disappointment is the hardest thing to swallow. it's the thing that makes you choke up, constricts your throat, makes your eyes blur and your head swim.
no more. i'm done.

so often we let fear (otherwise known as inertia) slow our progress, or keep us in the same stagnated stage. i should know, i've been there. but at the end of the day knowing He is watching out for us and nothing can go seriously wrong, i just want to break through the boundaries and get up to the next level. revel in all He has for me. allow Him to work in me and through me.
understood the concept of "daily surrender" today. surrendering once is not enough. we're living sacrifices and more often than not, we crawl off the altar.
choosing to stay in for lunch paid off :) had the whole office (well, almost) to myself to pray, meditate, spend a little more time getting fed spiritually. i pray they take a longer lunch today :)

every morning i wake up and every mid day at work, i tell myself i should aim to sleep by 10pm. look where i'm at now.
maybe i should start doing devo in the mornings.. maybe i'll hear God clearer. i sometimes wish He would come to me with thunder and lightning and fiery chariots, so i at least know it IS Him and not me.
sigh. God? double, triple, quadruple confirmation?

when you don't hear from God, it's not because He isn't speaking to you. it's simply because you aren't listening in the first place.
it's amazing what totally surrendering does to one. when you allow Him into your heart. when you just let Him take over. the wounds heal so quick. the pain is replaced by comfort and peace.
i want a guy who is a chaser of God's heart.
and i miss the times in melbourne i cannot get back to.
but more importantly, i miss you.

as much as i enjoy work (well, sometimes, when it's fine dining at shangri-la or endless client meetings where we just sit around and talk over coffee hehe), i still wish the weekend isn't officially over :( i didn't get to sleep in AT ALL!!! ><
on another random note, my God is good. :) He is so good i proclaim His goodness to the heavens and ends of the earth and i know irregardless of what happens, He has us covered. church is awesome, this new season is going to be awesome and i cannot wait to see what else is in store for me/us.
whee!

let me tell you what happens to a heart that has been broken way too many times for its own good.
it dies.
from now on, i will be good to myself. because i think i owe me that.
and because i believe God is good and He has better plans in mind for me :)

sounds like everyone wants to join my company now haha. adel was going green with jealousy over dinner when i gave her details! =P
i had a two hour lunch break today. got back to the office at 3pm and had heaps of msn messages asking me where i was =P my boss and manager are crazy (the benefits of lunching with them).. after we spent slightly over an hour at the foodcourt, they got up to leave and i thought we were going back to work. my jaw hit the ground when instead of walking out of the shopping mall, they made a beeline for a cafe and asked us what we wanted to drink. coffee break immediately after lunch??? that's a first...
but i think i will end up working long hours T____T working hours are supposed to be from 9-5.30. i only left work at 6.30pm and i was the FIRST to leave!! icks! (are you guys sure you still want to join my company? =P we have to work saturdays too!!! though i temporarily don't have to...)
tomorrow's gonna be crazy busy but first. i need to go dig out something presentable for our client lunch :)

since i got a flurry of messages asking how my first day at work went, i thought i'd just blog about it and make things easier :)
i got to work at 9am, and no one was there -____- people started streaming in at 9.15am, so i'm just gonna follow suit tomorrow!
an hour spent organising my table (i have two calendars for some reason) and collecting stuff i need from various people, an hour (or less) going around shaking hands and introducing myself to the various departments before promptly forgetting their names and faces (but i at least remember the people sitting around me, so that's an achievement), then a lengthy conversation with the boss, who asked me to turn on my msn because that is how they communicate at work o.O like woah. i asked him why the company didn't have its own IM system, and he said most people use their personal msn more than work anyway. double woah. and he gave me full permission to go on facebook too HAHA!
and so i went online, and hence, i spent half my day msning =P
corrected a legal contract (which was full of spelling mistakes and improper sentence construction sigh. who the heck wrote that?), then got access to the database of photos, which made me want to cry. photos of top notch villas and resorts in the world. photos of the most beautiful scenery ever. why can't God give me S$10million so i can travel the world?? the photos were soooo beautiful i wanted to bawl my eyes out.
almost a 2-hour lunch break, more msning, 2 hours whilst i tried to fix my stupid microsoft outlook which was not doing its job, then gave up and called IT over for help, another lengthy meeting with the boss and i was off!
10 minutes from work to home too! i like. :)
gym later! i am surprisingly not tired, but then again, i didn't use much of my brain today.

rainy weather twarted our island hopping plans boo. so i'm left sitting at home twiddling with my laptop and wondering which church service i should go for.
another week has gone by and i have successfully accomplished #26. if waking up at 6am (when i went to sleep at 3.30am the night before) just so i could send ira off to the airport doesn't count as a good host, i don't know what else does =P (yes yes ira, i'm very perasan, i know =P)
#87 is done too :)
and a happy belated birthday shoutout to jo! we did indeed celebrate your birthday for you in singapore! (ira blew out the candle on your behalf hehe.)
whee! :)

when God promises and delivers, more often than not, it is nothing you expect or even dare ask for. because if not for Him, how else would i land a job comprising my 4 main passions - marketing, photography, writing, travelling?
and i can't stop thanking Him for burdening me so much so i listened and rejected the MNC offer everyone (well, almost everyone) was pressuring me to accept. (kudos to hui as well who had to suffer through an i-dunno-how-long talk and gave me the courage and confidence to reject it.)
He is good :) and all glory goes to Him.

had a chat with ting yesterday, and somehow she came up with this theory:
"if u dun like a person and dun wanna accept him, it is ok. ur heart and mind are in sync. but if u like a person and u dun wanna accept him, it means there is something wrong with e person. it means e heart and mind are not in sync. and usually ppl go with their heart, not mind. so hor, if u like someone and dun accept him, it means there is really something wrong with tt person!"
another one:
ting: ok, let me see. i categorise good looking guys into a few categories. 1 - boyish. 2 - clean type. 3 - charismatic. 4 - sporty
me: then not so good looking ones leh?
ting: huh?? there is no category for them. ugly ones jus ugly ones la. no need to categorise.
me: wah kaoz! seebay 现实!! (but then again, who's not? hahaha)
these really cracks me up! HAHAHAHA!!!
on a side note, i did something "crazy". i bought 2 pairs of shoes, 1 black 1 purple, of e exact same design as what i currently have. SIAO BO!!! kinda long story la. heng got discount :P

it's been ten days and i'm ahead of schedule, yay!
i have watched transformers (#5), passed my basic theory (#22) and returned hui her money (#85).
currently working on #26, but i will need ira's cooperation for that :)
and given how singapore's skies are remaining perpetually open these days, dancing in the rain wouldn't be that much of a problem too =P

i feel restless and edgy.
not to mention my computer is infected with either spyware or some bug, and kelen is telling me all sorts of horror stories and warning me against surfing the net >< and applying for jobs for that matter, just in case i end up sending a virus of some sort to a potential employer. pfffft.
still feeling restless. maybe i should check out the time slots for kickboxing.
laser war next week?
