Goodness of God in my life!
These few days had been quite an hectic yet enjoyable & fruitful time. Life feels so wonderful & meaningful, full of purpose & accomplishments even though I'm still praying for direction in life but I have this assurance tt God has been working in my life & I'm totally thankful to Him.
Had e first session of children's day big day on thur. Brought the childcare kids down & it's the same centre tt I brought during Easter. Surprisingly, e teachers & kids still remember me. Had a good time just mingling with them & listening to their small talks. They are so excited any going to their new sch nx year & I'm glad tt they loves sch so much. Good jobs, teachers! :)
It's a hectic sat last wk even though it was cotm wk cos we had our first ever PET Saturation Amazing Race! Saturated for a few hrs as a zone! I'm loving my zone especially big days where closer bonding are formed becos we're working as one army! Let's have more out reaches as a zone! Like what Pst always say 'PET Huat ah!'. :) Another 1.5wks more! It's the looonnnggessst big day ever, stretched over 3wks. Really nd to encourage one another becos we can just get burnout easily especially when it's a long & draggy race. Gal is the best verse to describe this period: Let us not go weary while doing good,for in due season we shall surely reap if we do not lose heart! Jia you, PET! We can do it!
Went for KTV session for fellowship with e cell after Svc. Oh at the mentioned abt Svc-it's Pst kong's preaching again! The book of Jonah. I believed tt everyone will encounter what Jonah's experience once in a while-being in e whale,e plant,e worm & eventually e scorching west wind. Like what I always believed, God nv waste any experiences we had in life, be it sweet or painful ones. God ultimate purpose is always building our character & not our comfort. Pst always say 'God is more concern abt our character than our comfort.' It's time to reflect & pray through once again abt our calling in lives & areas where God wants us to move into/on. Breakthrough is on its way! :) Back to ktv,even thought I didn't really sing but I really enjoyed the company with e cg. It's great seeing e members' willingness to spend time together for fellowship. It's just take a simple meal cum ktv session, nothing fanciful & it's really e ppl tt mattered. :)
Visited all my bs on Sunday & as long as one come back, it's worth the effort. As indeed God is great, Monday big day a few of my bs came bk & ncs! God, I pray for open heaven with more ncs coming in this sat & nx thur!
After Monday big day, met up with my secondary sch friends & had Sakae buffet. I always treasure these meet-up session becos in e mist of busy-ness, it's quite hard to arrange for meet-up & I know tt whenever there's a meet-up,there will always be tons & tons of things to catch up with. These are friendship tt are built over times which no matter what rare e meet-up is, the relationship is still as strong. Friendship are purely & sinercely developed during sch days. How I miss sch days. :(
Did saturate with Pst today & once again she nv failed to impress me with her ability! There's just this drive in her tt I hope I caught! :) Yeah! Went to resume my bible study with Zann today & I really prayed tt she did caught something in her spirit. Had a good time of fellowship. Discipleship is always found in fellowship. Jia you, Zann! I believe in you! :)
Ended my day having dinner at marine square swensen (they're having this 1-for-1 main course promo) with?! The 'USUAL PPL'. That's we called ourselves cos we simply spent too much time together during our poly-uni years (5years in total.It's even longer than Sec sch years). How do I conclude the meet-up? Simply too much things to talk abt that we don't even have time for a photo shoot! Not even a moment of silence. And guess what?! I realise our worse nightmare is coming to pass! Cos our conversation revolve more & more abt centres! We're really moving into another phase of our lives-the working life!
Oh... Talking abt working life. I'm so happy & surprise when I received a call from littlebig yesterday. Wasn't expecting any calls cos I haven't decide which centre to work at. Have been praying abt it & praying tt God will show me signs of where I should go. Did asked my friend who is working at littlebig if there's vacancy but sadly no cos they nd children more than teachers & I was still joking with my friend e other day & she mentioned tt I can enrol as a student there first den promote to be a teacher.lolx. Guess it's really God cos during April when littlebig first started, GG was asking if I wan to join them but I was not very sure. Furthermore, I was going to SOT at tt time so I sort of rejected the offer. But God is great & He will nv shortchange us. They are hiring teachers for 2010 intake! Now I prayed tt everything will turn out well & hopefully I can start working there asap. :)
Month of October: Am excited & praying for more breakthroughs to come for everyone!
10000! 1159! 100!
Working life!
CCH YAG!

I can truly declare tt 2009 has been an eventually & blessed year for me & it's definitely the best year yet with God! :)
I'm living every day-an adventure with God! :)

Some Thoughts...
Went for a movie the night before leaving for Taipei after having cgm on Friday at maple's house. Went for supper together at Newton circle. It's great fellowshiping w e cg! Yeah! More fellowship after e sermon on God's family! Love spending time w cg! Misses cg especially after missing it for two wks due to taiwan trip & cch big day. What abt nx wk I wonder.
Ok back to the movie-Time traveller's wife. Watched it late on friday night like 2.15am! Caught e nightrider home & went for tuition e nx morning. Wasn't very keen on watching from e look of the poster but guess it's always true not to judge a book by its cover. If I were to read the synopsis before watching I will definitely be more keen in watching. It will be great if I can get hold of the book & spend some time on reading. Reading is a learnt hobby for me. Still remember how I started to love reading when I was in primary three. Can just spend the whole day on just reading but as I grow up, reading has become a chore especially when it comes to texts! But how could I not pick up a book & read when NP has the greatest library?! That's one thing I miss the most after spending five years there. Every holidays (it's e best time to borrow books cos all the books are not on loan) I have during my poly/uni years, I will definitely borrow all e novels I have been wanting to read during the semester but wasn't able to due to all e amount of assignments.
Side-tracked. Back to Time traveller's wife. It's a great movie but definitely makes u confused at times. A little similar to benjamin button (which I have yet to watch) but read e synopsis.
Back from Taipei, was super tired even though I enjoyed myself. Didn't get to slp much as it was quite an intense trip. That makes me wonder whether a holidays trip should be relax or intense one but well it can be due to a number of contributing factors. Came back on sat morning, too tired to do anything so rested & went for 5.30pm Svc instead since there's CCH briefing at expo anyway.
Had a great Svc with Pst Kong who nv failed to bring me closer to God with e Word of God. A cleaver or a kisser? Heard this sermon once but it nv failed to question my love for God over & over again. How loyal are we to God, to our friends, to our family, to God's family, to our leaders & pastors? How strong is a relationship? We will only know it when e loyalty in e relationship is tested. Who can u take a bullet for? Under pressure & inconvenience, loyalty is tested. As we grow older, e temptation of realism become stronger. We start to do things out of convenience, things that seemed possible, most logical, things of our own ability. We seemed to forget the God factor in our lives & what is having faith all abt. Can we still have e childlike faith that we had when we first started out with God-to trust Him even for e unknown-our future? Not asking why or how but simply just follow & obey what God wants to do with our lives.
'God of mine forever, and forever I'M WITH YOU.' Enough of 'asking God to go wherever we are' to 'God, wherever You are, I will go!' just like how Ruth clung on to Naomi. God will only show Himself strong to those whose hearts are loyal to Him. God, I desire more of You in my life, to show Yourself strong. Let me decrease so that You may increase in my life! Believing God for greater things to come! :)
P/s: Probably gonna write my nx entry on Taipei trip if I have the time. Meanwhile, pray with me for CCH Big Day Vision:10000, PE zone:1159, PE206:100! God, unless You build Your house or Your labourers laboured in vain!

Happy Educators's Day!
It's teachers' day & my brother's birthday today! Every year teachers's day is becoming more real for me. Didn't really thought about it but as I entered this field since poly years, we started to wish one another happy teachers' day every year.
This year it's officially a teachers' day for many of my classmates cos it has become a reality tt it's time to be out in the working world after much training the past few years. As for me, I guessed I'll only have my first official teachers' day nx year. But I nv regret the choice I've made and I'll always b thankful for 2009 cos it's such an eventful year filled w transitions & joyful celebrations!
I prayed for all my fellow educators tt we will always remember the very reason why we step into this field despite all the opposition & criticisms from others. Our efforts will nv go to waste becos we know tt we are impacting the children's lives even when we don't see instance results. Keep on keeping on!
Have been going out for the past few days. Bro's bday celebration was great. It's been such a while tt the whole family gets together. How I miss those times when everything are much simpler where everyone are just sinercely caring for one another. But as I grow up, many things just changes w some grudges between families.
But I thank God tt all tt doesn't affect the nx generations. Every family just have their own stories to tell... But guess no matter what, a family will still stand together afterall we can't choose our family n we can only choose to love. :) Things just won't go back to where it was afterall. We can only pray for a better tomorrow, forget e past & look forward.
Was chatting w a friend recently and realised sometimes we can afford to just care less. Sometimes when we cared too much,we lost ourselves. Someone once said tt God made us original, don't die a copy! How true is tt. It's just human's nature to comment & judge and since we can't control their comments, we can care less abt other's comments and guard our heart to always be ready for God's comment. Life can be better when we focus on e major & not major on e minor.
Yeah!!! Finally, I can't wait to go Taiwan this sat. Will b away from this sat to nx sat! Finally the long awaited graduation trip is here! We booked e tickets like 3 months ago. It's good to get away once in a while. There's just too many things to do over there as we planned e itinerary. Know tt I'll gonna have lots of fun. 4 more days!
Meanwhile, something I need to constantly pray about:
1. Pray n fast for direction (job).
2. PET breakthrought- 1159!
3. PE206- 100, 1% of the 10000 vision!
4. Start work after 1st oct! :)
