Give me one more time
As I was doing my QT on my way to work yesterday morning, somehow God was revealing to me of how selfish I have been for the past 1 year or so. I have no idea how this selfishness has been so part of me all this while. I paused and pondered on this verse. And as I read it over and over again, I told the Lord to take away ALL my selfish behaviours, my selfish thoughts and actions. I don't want to be robbed by this ugly side of being selfish again.
Philippians 2: 3-4
"Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others.''
I really missed working in Macdonald house cos I get to learn alot of things over there. But well, I'm just as thankful cos the present outlet I'm working on right now doesn't operate on sundays, which means that I can get to go church again. I'm madly in love with my present workplace cos firstly, the people are nice and secondly, I'm surrounded with lots of good foods. Oh, and I seriously can't wait for my pay to come...Yesh, 3 more days!
Dinner with Ruiqin and yenru was really fun that day cos we had lots to catch up, never did we stop talking. And as I looked back, I'm once again amazed at how our friendship has been growing over the years. Another friend that I cherish alot is Chai Yun. A really crappy and fun- loving person. Although we always claim that we have different personalities, we are still able to relate well with each other. Thanks for talking sense to me yesterday. I really appreciate it.
I'm looking forward to Thursday cos it's my off day. Yahooo!!!!!!! I'll start the day with shopping, then to sgh for something important, meeting wanjun, facial, and then off to meet my poly friends. This saturday is Aloysius' birthday party and I've yet to buy something for him.
I thanked God that my rashes has been healed completely and I don't have to go through the light- therapy again. It's really scary when you enter a box with 40 rays shinning on you. You just don't know what that big machine might do to you any minute. I'm grateful for my mum who never failed to accompany me into that treatment room. If not for her, I'll be doing all this alone and it will simply just freak me out.

A day to rejoice
Three years of poly life have passed so quickly and just 2 days back was my graduation ceremony. I think everyone in that hall ought to rejoice and feel proud of themselves for all the hard work they have put in over the past years. The time and effort that we give into project work, term test, exams especially when it comes to memorising all the bacterias and disease names. Oh yes, it's over. Looking back, I smiled. I smiled because I know that I've achieved something- a diploma. And I'm glad that 3 years back before I was deciding which school to go, I did not leave out poly as my choice. I've really benefitted alot, really. I guessed poly life has trained me to be independent, to be decisive and to be tolerant. I grateful to God for making everything possible. The graduation ceremony started off with a speech from the director. I liked the way in which she puts her message across. She told us to be confident in the things we do because confidence will enable us to soar to greater heights especially when work is concern. Also, creativity is now the key to success and we must dare to be different.
I felt a sense of glory when I walked past the red carpet the minute my name was called. And I was glad because I felt that God was also one of the audience sitting in the auditorium cheering for me.
These are the few of the many pictures that I took that day. Too lazy to upload the rest. The lightings are really dim.
Oh yes, my dear friend Ying Ci is back. Wanted to have a look at his long hair but he cut it.
I'm glad too cos my leave for church camp was approved 3 days back. I thought I couldn't go but God intervened and helped me. My superior encouraged me to go because she told me that she herself has benefitted much from church camps. I couldn't believe my eyes when she told me that cos I've just started work not long, and here I am, wanting to take leave for 5 days.
I'm happy cos I bought a top for myself at bugis village yesterday. They do have super cheap stuffs over there and everything is simply too eye- catching.
I'm not ready for something great=) but for now...
