1st day of school.. SOT

Posted at Monday, March 30, 2009

Great! Orientation for SOT is over. I survived through. :p
Honestly, i didnt have a good rest last night because after the BBQ, i was feeling so bloated, toss and turn till 2am. I decided to wake up and i force myself to vomit out everything. So, the sour taste was so horrid i toss and turn somemore b4 i actually KO-ed.

Tomorrow officially mark the start of SOT. Many hours of teaching, honestly, i am one who will get very fidgity during the word because i can't really sit too long. I am thinking of how to balance out my schedule. Gosh, SOT, work at AIA, coaching, cell group, ministry. I need 37 hours a day.

I met the new people, very intersting and i think i like the team dynamic. :))
Constance is our leader, eugene our 2nd IC. Many other foreign delegates. HAHA. Thank God for Singaporean being rojak. English, mandrain and dialect.

So we've 2 jap, few malaysians, some from taiwan. So, communication is a little challenging but wow, it's pretty fun. :)) will upload team picture soon!

till then, 7am tomorrow!

11:42 pm

I am feeling the stress and woek load already.
I am not someone who can handle stress very well. I am someone who will break down when i cannot handle such huge task. But none the less, yeah that's me.

I am being recommended by Meng to this guy to work for him. Lots of P&C documents, so a lot of times, i dare not ask openly just in case i leak out some information. Very careful with my conduct over there since i'll be there for like 4 months? The person there aren't exactly very friendly but most of them seems approachable?

I am put under a very good looking boss and the dress attire is formal and just for this agency, the dresscode is black. I almost flop because i only have 1 set of formal wear. Thank God for Hui Qin to my rescue. Went to her place to loan her formal tops and bottoms.

Well, i would think that i am able to learn alot from this place, hopefully it shall really come to past? Yeah, i'm good to go. Honestly, i do not know what is installed for me in this period. 4 months and it's really hectic i would say. I'm all ready to go! :)

I've been very reluctant to go out and meet my friends recently.
Reluctant because i don't want to spend money. Reluctant because i am lazy to go out. Reluctant because i have lots of things to do. I am back to my busy lifestyle which is GD! So here i am.

I went for the SOT prep course! FUN. bcause... pastor Meng was the preacher and he is sooooooo funny! The time pass so quickly although it's pretty dry but the jokes he input ah. wah seh, FUNNY FUNNY! Usually, people would say their "yes" and "amen" For me, it was.. HA HA HA! SO FUNNY!!!! yayaya, i love to laugh so yeah Pastor Meng is the funniest, i am looking forward to hear more from him man. Its so fun! :):)

12:50 am

Strikeforce Amazing Race

Posted at Monday, March 23, 2009

It's 2.02am and i am glad i am still alive.

Coaching was extremely tiring today because i had so many kids in the class! I almost flop! 2 instructors had something on so i had to take their kids. and it was 6 beginners and 3 intermediate swimmers. I had to give them something to do but yet look after them so that they do not feel bored. Then again, my 6 beginners really require close supervision.

I was really exhausted by the end of that 1 hour. The weather made things worse. Thank God for the next hour the kids were happy jumpy kids and they all could swim pretty well.

Service went of well and Tim is as usual the funny fella on stage. Great Job Tim, this adds on to a new suanning move for Kenneth.

Then, i move on to the most exciting part of the day. The Strikeforce Amazing Race. Honestly, i dread it because i am exhausted from yesterday and today's coaching. Plus, i am supposed to be the leader and i was supposed to guide them. So, well done Rachel, a pat on your shoulder.
I lead the group namely: "MAY" of which i thought in the first place.. who is MAY? why am i under her? :p So, Praise the lord,May won the game with a whopping 140 points! Inspite of the independency by the fellow new recruits, with a not so enthu ME, with no guidance for their cheorography for their 1 min creativity, they still emerge and clinched the First.
I am glad they all got their first pair of sticks as their prize. Hard work paid off. :)) So Here's some picture for viewing:

This is the word: STRIKE! Plus the supposed-ly "powedery effect"

They all got a pair of sticks printed with drumfeast logo.

Wu Dang Pai

Most creative pose

Boon's very loooong speech, at least for today, it's very short already! :p

Yu Hong, not only the sai-kang warrior, he's also a babysitter!

Great job bro. :p

Our South Africa brother, Neo sharing his testimony. :))

The very serious picture they took inside Yamaha.

A fun shot and happy shot.

a little lag time.

I like this very much. :)

Last but not least, presenting to you...

MAY

2:02 am

A series of things happened today.

Posted at

This few days i have been very led to do certain things but..... I chose to sweep it off since i feel it's not too important.

Today, i felt that i should take the reciept from the cab just in case i left something behind since taking the reciept would cause me nothing. But, one of my leg was already out of the taxi, i decided perhaps not. Then again, i think back, okay, i should take down the car plate of the taxi driver, just in case, but again, i did not. Well, usually i would quickly note it down on my HP.

So, what happen was.. Esther Left something important in the boot! She totally forgot about it and there goes the taxi uncle. I feel so frustrated, why did i not obey the prompting?

It has been happening quite a while! All the time i was just not so obedient, OH MAN, what is happening. I need to be more sensitive to promptings like that. OBEDIENCE. I am really convinced of how He moves.

1:54 am

patience... patience...

:):)

slackers corner

kaira kaira!!! :)

you're the reason why i want to give birth!!! HAHAHA!!

God!!! bless me with the fruit of love, patience and long suffering.
Honestly, i'm struggling in this area. I hate it when i flare up also.
Yes, i get agitated whenever some things are not done the way i felt it should be?
I get pissed and frustrated whenever one stupid comment is mentioned?
okay, forgive me if i am being very ignorant to your silly comments.

It has been a long day for me and will still be tmr. *.*

Romance conference was great! Thank God i was serving. HAHA!! I escaped the orange dot.
Well, i counted the eligible bachelor and it was easily less than 10. That's dissapointing! But, Owell, honestly, i wasn't looking for one over there but rather i was looking out for the happenings. HAHA!! There's so many new couples! I am so shock to see some holding hands. My eyes almost POP out! Jaws drop. Yes, Lai Meng and i was simply amazed to see how God can bring 2 individuals as pairs. Perhaps, this is why we are still single.

Strikeforce GIG was at NTU. Well, NTU is a pretty nice place, but the thought of the indonesian guy haunt me. I saw 2 of my RP lecturer there! doing their masters! Gig was great, i am happy i am one gig down. But, my stick broke the moment i hit my 3rd hit, and wah la! I am left with a broken stick for the rest of the performance. To make things worse, Darryl's stick broke also! N since, he was playing a bigger instrument,which also means he had a bigger role, i passed him mine, and i ended up with 2 broken stick!!

So, instead of playing, i was wayang-ing!I am also very happy that at the parts that requires the pose, stamp, pointing at the right moment, i managed to get it all! GREAT!!! So excited. I want to learn FHW! :))

Office job is just not my cup of tea

Posted at Friday, March 20, 2009

March 19.2009 - Researcher at Shenton Way. (1 day job)

I was all excited! I am attached to XXXX and Co. a consulting firm located at level 50. WOE!
I woke up, dress in my FYP uniform. haha! Make-up, heels, a handbag and i look into the mirror. Okay, i am ready to go! All smiling and excited.

Since, i have never work for such a company like that. Formal attire, very nice pantry.
I was told to meet this lady, Sherlyn.

So, i was EARLY and yeah, i thought great! Gd impression! I sat at the recept for 15 mins! My smile :) slowly became a frown-.- . Sherlyn had forgotten that someone is waiting for her at the recept and the receptionist is just too ignorant about my presence.

After 15 mins, she RAN out and brought me to a cubicle. I almost died, it's soooo... confined,stuffy and small and i began to wonder how am i going to survive her for the entire day!It's like a store room!

She showed me around and i go.. WOW nice place. I glance into the bigger office and they look at me like... yet another staff. I bet this company must have lots of politics.

She was thinking between which cubicle should she put me in since another temp is coming over later. As soon as Sherlyn placed me in that confined area, a phone call came. I was hesistant of picking up since i knew nobody would call and look for me since it's my first day and only day!

So, i ignored and let it ring. Then, the same number called again. And i go, okay, maybe the call is really for me. HELLO, priyani here, so i go.... OK... indian accent! Gosh, she told me my to-dos and asked me to start researching.

I look down the list on the google and i thought to myself.. wow this a very anoited computer.This is because the previous person obviously is from CHC. He/She has been searching for chc songs, knowing the culture of chrisitianlity in INDIA. So much so for leaving history behind, aiyoh!

As soon as i browse through the many websites, Bobby came in to introduce himself. He's that another temp guy that i was talking about, I thought oh shit, i took his place, now what should i do? He pass me him name card and we carried on our WORK.

I was struggling with the task given because it's beyond my knowledge, researching something tt i have absolute zero idea about. Plus, there's so much to read and so little information to draw from. I began to feel frustrated so i went to log onto facebook. :p

I guess at that instant, someone was at my back and tt was Priyan and she caught me facebooking. Opps. :x But anyway, she didnt say anything. So ya-da ya-da, i tried to research and gave her whatever she wanted. Not easy but do-able and i hate it, i concluded that i really can not do this anymore.

6 hours of starring into the computer and reading through tons and tons of pages. I had lunch with Bobby this NTU guy, and he was very nice to tell me the history of this company. we exchanged email and i cant help it but think he's a little cranky. but thats ok. Work officially ended over at shenton way, to conclude,Shenton Way is not a very amazing place to work at.

office job is just not my cup of tea.

12:31 am

frustration pass on.... on and on...

Posted at Thursday, March 19, 2009

After a long day, i must admit i was frustrated and loaded with lots of stuff.
And i am sorry. I guess my frustration was passed on. So, i was too pissed with myself i went to do my quiet time. It was a WHY LIKE THAT session. I did not have a good night rest though, simply the fact that there was still too many things yet to be done, i was flooded with like 6 sms-es with very very long to-do things and i go.... arh not again!

with calls bombarding, have you done this? I think i really need to stretch my capacity a little more? Using lesser time but with a great outcome? Everything is stil good i jus need to calm myself down, take things slow. Then i'll be fine! :))

Torn between SOT and HK

Posted at Tuesday, March 17, 2009

Praise the lord! I am finally back for trainning! and i am glad.
After a crazy 3 hour chat with coach and Andy over sushi, trainning was madness.
Lesson learnt: Never eat till the brim before you head down for trainning!

Jeremy drove down so GREAT! we had free ride to school.
Entering back to RP feels a little foreign to me, things have changed!
It took me a while to adjust back to the instructions for the sets given by coach.

Anyway, i am bored and i crave for a good dive trip. But the weather nowadays is crazy,
so i am thinking it must be crazy to go at this point in time. James was really sweet, he told me he ain't going to miss out any more dive trips with me. So yay, buddy found. Jin no more, she abandon me for her sentosa mates.

Then Bro told me to go HK but.. the only time left to go is like NOW? March 30th is when SOT begins. I am like so stuck in Singapore, so bored! I SO NEED TO GET OUT OF THIS PLACE!

I look around, i ask around to see who are the ones who can travel with me and fly with me when i say let's hit the airport tmr? Very last minute notice, pack up and go? Honestly, i don't think i can find any. Everybody is so filled up with their own agenda. Well, you can say i am someone whose very irresponsible? But argh, if i don't travel like mad now, then when?!?!

I need a soul-mate tt can do all this with me!

12:52 am

Posted at Saturday, March 14, 2009

It's a day off for me. Usually Sat is intense coaching for me. But Owells,
Ben is down with fever and the lit koreans have gone back. I would need to venture into new people! WooHoo~ I met nicola just yesterday, amazing. I think every almost every minute is tt important since you never know what opportunities could come your way?

Just a quick immediate swap of name card. And wa-la!

So, having said tt, i wanted to head down Sentosa since i have been missing lots and lots of beach trainning with the team. But, my lazy bones just stop me from getting up. So till then, it's a day you let down your hair and breeze through it.

zero agenda. Awesome. :))

12:43 am

making good use of my time.

Posted at Wednesday, March 11, 2009

As much as possible, i try to make this 4 weeks a great and fruitful one.
Everyday i'ld find something to do and not just rot my day away.
Anyway, everyday has ben good so far. I am counting down for SOT.
excercising , tanning and brushing up my guitar skills.
Sunday night was with Su Ting and the ex-W20.
Today, this cell group no longer exist. But the members still liner around.
To many of us, this is the first cell group and this is also the cell group that we grow the most.
1. Those days it was when Fuhua Revival spark forth.
2. Those days we always find it hard to look for a guitarist. As such, most of the time we had praise and worship without any musical instrument.
3. Belinda's fav song is.. there's a anointing in the air..
4. Belinda's fav game is the animal game. We are all so well-versed with it tt we could almost remember each and every one of our fav action.
5. Aileen and i would often head down to Orchard after cell group to look at the streets performance and stand amazed at how hip the people were.
6. CG was at Jason's house(Jurong East)
7. We had lots or prayer walk around Fuhua Sec those days.
8. We gathered to have prayer meeting as early at 630am in the morning at some secluded area and out of which, AILEEN would always be late. :p
9. We would often be laughing out loud whenever it's praise time.
10. Serene was the girl whom always gave the BGR problem.. Yi shen.. tsk tsk. haha!
11. The legendary hand of belinda is the trademark for most of our pics, everytime we gather.
hahahahaha.

So like i said, it was a great time gathering together, a great time of catching up, laughing at the past, singing songs tt were memoriable then. and the tiny little secrets we shared last time. hahaha.

the best of friends always have such queer habits of bringing funny stuff around.

on sunday, it's wang wang of different brand.

and this is the trademark hand we always talked about.
look closer, you see how distorted and gross bernice's hand is.

so tt's A, B and C.

Aileen, Bernice and Cai.

Alice.. where are you?!?!?!

tang yuan in the making.

lol. serene stand amaze at the animal action they were doing.

HEY, tts my fav action ok.

yeah, bestie!

su ting, the 20th Nov baby.

belinda and the nortorious ME.

:))

and they are happily enjoying the singing..

The sense of identity.

Posted at Tuesday, March 03, 2009

Many clubs make Tee shirt and chop their identity or logo as a sense of identity for the team.
For the people wearing them to have a sense of belonging and a certain degree of pride.
What happens if this person no longer belongs to this club because of various reason?
They decided that they do not have the time to commit, they do not wish to commit to it anymore because it's a INTEREST and not COMMITMENT kind of activity for that person.

It the same reason why companies take back their uniform from their staff when the person decides to quit? So that these people do not wear their uniform and do silly things in the void deck and get an ugly reputation out of it? It's the tee shirt/uniform that you are wearing that makes a difference.

So how about clubs tee shirt? Isn't it the same? Honestly, i hate it when i see that someone who used to be part of us but no longer due to various reason donning our tee-shirt. That is really yucky, because YOU DO NOT REPRESENT US! By wearing the shirt, there is absoultely no pride, no dignity and you are no longer a part of us and you know it so well. So why still wear it? Unless you left LIFESAVING in style, with valid reason if not i think it is really disgusting to see you donning it and flaunting it around. Telling the whole world: HEY! I'm from LIFESAVING IG! -.- disgusting!

Yes i am being very critical but come on, wearing it on your birthday makes it even more questionable. If you've invited me, i would slap that question straight into your face and say.. DO YOU STILL BELONG TO LIFESAVING? WHY ON EARTH ARE YOU WEARING THIS ON UR BIRTHDAY? Don't tell me because it's comfortable. PLEASE FOR GOODNESS SAKE.

Tear that tee shirt away, cause i see no pride when you wear it.

After this incident, i think twice now that i suggested to Boon that we should have a tee for the newbies joinning us since we want to retain them and allow them to have that as a sense of belonging... Owell.. history may repeat itself. Will see..
