Settling

Another week had passed by with me getting more settled into my new role. The monday was madness as some preparation was missed out. Nevertherless, God had been good with nothing major occurring for the time being. There was a fair bit of OT which I certainly dun mind at this point of time....haha!!
Friday night was spent with ML & Jo at Orchard Cineleisure. I drove past cineleisure 3 times before finally parking my car at Meritus Mandarin Hotel. Now I am even more convinced that orchard is definitely not a wise choice to drive into with the amount of traffic and lack of consideration of the drivers ard.
Catched "You dun mess with the Zohan" at 1.40am before sending the gals back home. It seemed that the outing nowadays are getting later and later. News spread really fast and xj was already awares of my outing even before I had really told anyone else. Somehow it's either we are really without walls or really good at gossip?
Maintenance are the in-thing nowadays and can see that all the gals are putting more and more time, effort and resources into it. Are age catching up or is it just the surrounding pressurizing them? Haiz...whatever the case, if the expectation is not lower to realistic level, the form up dates will have to delay for the time being....so evil of me!!

The Unexpected

Life is constantly changing and sometimes a small decision can make a lot of changes. Work had been rushing madly for the past 1 week. Although people keep on telling me that I can do it, I still feel the stress and pressure building up more quickly than I had expected. Good or bad, I don't know, but I just have to endure through it for the time being.
Went out the FSRs & Cindy and the rest on fri. Had too many glasses of beer, red wine plus hard liquor which resulted in me vomiting the whole sat. Over-estimate myself and the result is the hangover which I well deserved. Nevertherless, it's a good learning experience which I do not regret but I will not want to go through it again.
Met up with ML on sat for some drinks at Vivo. Settled at Bakerinn for some cakes and teas. Spent the 2 hrs doing idling talk which I pretty enjoyed. I always enjoyed chatting with pretty and most importantly, single gal on a Fri/Sat night. A good form of relaxing and to prepare myself for the week ahead. Joined CS & Elaine after their movie and the 4 of us proceed to NUS prata shop for some supper. ML had teh terih which she complained on sun that it kept her awake the whole night.
Sun was having lunch at parkway parade hawker centre. Spent 2 hrs shopping with the gals which the gals complained that they dun like guys to be present. The only things that they like I believe is the free ride back home for sure....haha!! Now is almost time to prepare for the week ahead. Heart is quite heavy actually, but luckily I had already planned for my fri activities liao. Why do people always look forward to the weekend and dread the weekdays? It's easy to say we should do things that we enjoyed doing and not for the sake of money. But how many people are really doing what they enjoyed at this point of time? Ok, stop complaining for the time being and let hope for the best regardless of the situation.

Church Camp 2008

Came back from Philippines on wed and made my way to the church camp on fri. It was abit rushing here and there. Somehow, life had been different ever since I decided to take up the new offer. Went with a rather heavy burden as there is simply too much uncertainty in the coming future.
Ironically, church camp was at Malacca 2 years ago too. Though things seem pretty much the same, in fact many things had changed since then. Looking back at the past photos, some people had left, some new people had joined, the attitude and mindset had changed too. As I sat at the back of the seats, Sean is already a married man, CS is attached, some had broken up, while others simply had grown older. The excitement, the youth and even some of the innocent had been replaced by maturity, safety, wearyness etc.
Thanks to many which helped to make my family feel comfortable and at ease, especially CS, Elaine, Sop, Shijia etc. Also, the sermon was very well preached and many personal encounter was shared with all of us so that we too can hear and believe.
Somehow changes is a constant process and we had to learn to conquer it. Let not harden our hearts so that our spiritual eyes and ears can hear the sound of God. Sometimes, difficult situation is simpy to draw us back to God. Let us continue to wait and rest for the time being till God's purpose is revealed to us.

Accelerated Pace

Received the letter on tuesday and life seem to be completely different after that. The next few days was simply rushing through the taking over yet not handing over my current stuffs. Before I know it, I will be heading toward Philippines in less than 10 hours. The pace of life is getting so fast that I can hardly catch up with it.
Did I make the right decision? I have no idea at this point of time. Perhaps only time will reveal the correctness of my choice. Looking forward to next fri for the upcoming church camp where I hope to enjoy some break before I embark on my busy slots which will be coming my way shortly.
Visited St James with Jamie, Jenny, Caroline plus daughter & CK on fri. Somehow people seem to be different after they leave the company. Quite a interesting crowd and combination to be. Nevertherless, my legs are still aching today.
Hopefully, things will go smoothly for my trip this time round.
