Integrity
I can't believe how can one say one thing and mean another the next minute. Looks are deceiving. People can look demure, sincere and trustworthy. Well, that's just an act. After getting to know them a little more, they are in fact viscious and cunning. So obviously, these people do not have a sense of intergrity at all. Lesson learnt...DON'T TRUST ANYONE IN THE WORLD.
Work has been quite tough even though its only the first week. After talking to some wise people, I told myself that I'm going to be optimistic towards my work from today onwards and yes, I really was just now. I think God place us in a certain workplace for a purpose. I know God is able to see me through. At the same time, I guess I'm going to miss out on lots of things from now on...
I always do weird, stupid and funny things with Jun...but I enjoy it cos doing this type of things make us feel like we are still a child once again. A young adult that doesn't want to grow up. Thank you gal for your company.

Divine exchange
Today, I had loads of fun meeting up with my friends. It's the first time yesterday that I got to dine in at Spagedies. I think the ambience is really very cool, with dim lightings and cosy sofas. As I have been craving for pizza all along, I decided that I should satisfy this longing of having to indulge in one. This seafood pizza tasted heavenly. With mussels, scallops, sotongs, big prawns, mushrooms, clams. Never did I expect the portion to be soooo big. And yes, as usual, I couldn't finish it.
Since mum and dad had to attend a dinner, we could not celebrate my brother's birthday as a family. So, my sis and I decided to bring him out. Ended up at Sizzler. I told my sis that I'm not going to eat much but unknowingly, I had 6 servings of food. I kept gorging myself with lots of food even though I felt the need to stop. Goodness, buffet doesn't help at all. It makes people like me want to eat more. I'm filled with guilt right now.
I enjoyed the Quiet Time I had with Ruth at Bedok Reservoir a few days back. Sometimes its good to be just caught up in nature and allow nature to speak itself.
I'm indeed thankful to God for granting me a job. I'm just going to take one step at a time and not rush into things.

Take the rod
'When the heart waits' is a book that has so many truths in it. The author wrote about how we as human have lots of masks, different masks that suit different situations, leading to false self. And it goes on to say of how much it would hurt us if we are to run away from our problems by putting a false front instead of facing the truth boldly. False self is not what God wants. What He yearns for is for us to portray our true self even if it means 'ugly'. Why should we then accept our true self? Because we are created in God's image and His likeness. We are told to accept our true self as it is the very first image and likeness that God wants us to display. I began to put much thoughts and reasonings into this truth. Somehow, I felt that God was leading me to a period of self- actualisation. And I'm glad. Because God has brought people into my midst for me to share His goodness.
Met up with San and Sharon at tp for lunch yesterday. I really missed the western food at design school and I was so happy when I got to eat it again. We tasted San's very own ice- cream. Not too bad I would say. And there we were, slacking and making lots of noise in the Food Pilot Plant laboratory. It was fun talking about how we want our lives to be in the future. And we came up with this.
- Meet up for high- tea sessions
- Life at the beach
- Mahjong sessions
- Manicure
- Shopping!
I mean yeah, a tai- tai life. We are simply day- dreaming...haha. But these are the things that really excite us.
The baking session with Ruth was so fun. Went to her house to make cheese cake. I would grade it 9/10. It just tasted so heavenly.
And the shopping I had with Yenru was good. Although we did not really buy anything, we had some heart- to- heart talk.
Hope it doesn't rain tomorrow cos I need the tann.
I have to make a decision in 4 hours time. Oh Lord, you lead me.

Missed
I think nature has its own way of speaking to me. Just by looking at the beach, the trees, the peacock, the sands makes me stand in awe of God's creation. Sometimes, what we all need is to have a break from our mundane and hectic life and simply spend that time with friends, and even finding ourself again. I'm glad I had a wonderful tann at sentosa just now. Realised that I'm kind of burnt right now. So sad, Stella was not able to join us.
Who doesn't want a simple life? I guessed everyone yearns for it in one way or another. A life where we don't have to face any competition, a life that strives to do things out of our own interest rather than the sick of doing it, a life that is slow, a life that has solutions to problems, a life...a life...the list goes on. I think this type of life is so hard to come by nowadays. Sometimes I really wish that I was born in another country where the standard of living is not so high. Then I wouldn't care about education and working at all. Maybe, perhaps, 'simple life' still exists. It's a matter of whether we want to follow the world standards or just listen and follow our heart.
You know, I've held on to a baton that is not mine at all. I don't understand why this baton has been so dear to me till now.
