entering a new phase in life.... working life i mean.

today was totally blessed by the Lord.. i got my new job with UOB! All thanks be unto Jesus! The reason is because when i 1st sent my application, i never expected to be shortlisted (applying for the post of an Associate Officer in a bank using A Diploma in Chemical Processing.. WTF..), then dad was like some crazy fanatic, everyday cut newspaper cutting n intro me jobs... dots.. pek chek u know?? I told God to give me this job i applied for, then i told mom n dad that Jesus will take care of the rest (AND HE DID!!!!), but they still feed me with various job offers (from chemistry line, to manulife, to God knows what..), oh bother, i guess they r trying to be nice ba... Anyway, back to the story. UOB called me up somwhere in the 3rd week of Aug, scheduled me for an appt on the 19th, but ended up postphoned it to the following week, which is the 26th. That was the very first interview, conducted by the vice pres of HR, Jolin.. wa! vice pres lei! stress... lucky it was a group interview, and i was kinda the 2nd oldest of the group (of 8 ppl).. things went pretty smoothly, and on monday, i received a call from UOB in the morn... I was shortlisted for the 2nd interview!!! YAY!!! Praise God! So i went down to UOB today, the interview was scheduled at 10.50am, i got there at 10.25am i think.. lol.. kiasu singaporean.. then met florence.. jolin say she very fierce, but she seems pretty nice to me lei... dunno... anyway, she told me that the Zone manager is unable to come today as they are caught up in an urgent meeting, so i tot have to come back another day.. then she told me to come back at 11.45am to be interviewed by the Zone manager! wow! tt's fast! (then i gave Jesus a big silly grin and thanked Him in my heart.. sooooo happy u know???). So i went to walk walk at raffles place area, and popped into a spectacle shop n fixed up my glasses (the frame was a bit bent as i unknowingly sat on it... i terribly myopic..) and then i tink florence called me, told me that the interview change to 11.25am (COOL!). so i went back to the office, met the zone manager (also quite nice lei... maybe its because i was happy and carried an infectious smile.. hee... ^^) who asked me some simple questions and then told me to wait for their call, telling me that they will get back to me within 2 weeks... 2 WEEKS!! sigh.. need to wait again lor... then amazingly, my phone rang at exactly 5.03pm... it was from the HR!! They told me that i've been selected!!! (can you see how God's hand is moving?? Thank You Jesus!!) Wa! 2 weeks u know??? i got the reply in 5 hrs!! hahahaaha! Praise the Lord! then i went home and shared the good news, and i told mom and dad that God will confirm give me this job de... hee... so happy, more so, SO PROUD OF JESUS!! hahaa! wad a blessed day! then i went over to the Rock bookstore and bought the newest Hillsongs CD - GOD HE REIGNS (now listening to it...hee), shoik sia!! and found all the lyrics and chords for the new album! OMG! blessed over the moon sia... hahahaa! And in my heart, i know that God is gonna bless my career in UOB (i wanted to call it ministry instead of career), because God is a GREAT GREAT GOD!

And then we were like so shocked when they announced that the winner is kelly.. dots.. even kelly is shocked lor.. lol.. oh bother, SP is really supportive of their idol though.. sigh.. xinhui jia you! kelly jia you too... :) then junyang was like totally stunned when he lost.. hmm... honestly i was totally stunned too, not meaning to say that kelvin is not good (in fact, i was hoping that kelvin will win...), just that junyang seems to be enjoying better PR with the youngsters esp cos he has the looks and then got the backing of SA and NT also... lolz... then kelvin power lo.. mom also down there puzzled.. later she got nightmares tonight.. keep pondering "wei sem me kelvin hui ying" lol... majiam hallucination liaos... then my sis freaking out le... down there "fa hua chi".. thinking of junyang... can even hear her mumbling "junyang.... junyang" like some zombie like tat..

(wished it was xinhui though... haha!) initially i was telling my mom n sis that xinhui will eliminate kelly because the whole of malaysia is rooting for her, then kelvin eliminate junyang because the street musicians, aunties, and handicapp society root for him, then during the finals kelvin will eliminate xinhui because malaysia will think that he is not threat to xinhui, then they dun make so many calls, then kelvin's supporters will keep calling n calling because xinhui very power.. lol.. now dun nid le, kelly got SP power behind her.. whole polytechnic donate one call per student can liaos.. lol.. this is gonna be an interesting finals.. jue dui superstar! you ni jiu you ta!! goo goo ga ga...

Thank you Jesus!

For the past few days, i've been busy reading the bible, playing the guitar and worshipping God because of the unhappy event few days back. Most of the time i played worship songs, didn't really have the mood to praise the Lord then.. Today there's quite a breakthru in my life - i'm able to bury the anger n let go of it, being able to accept the fact that my laptop is now totally handicapped, being able to communicate to my dad without my blood boiling, mom is happy that the storm is over, sis dare to make a nuisence of herself and irritate me, i was able to think a bit clearer and focus on the task at hand. Thanks for the prayers, esp Jac who was a pillar of prayer support during these trying times, and to everyone out there who prayed for me as well...

The resume that i sent out via email to UOB got through, and i was shortlisted! Yay! I know God played a major part in this, because i claimed this job in Jesus' mighty name and i told my mom and dad that God will give me the job.. and He did! And so here i am, happily testifying to all my blog readers out there..

Jesus has become a bigger and bigger part of my life now, even overshadowing my parents, my friends, my work, my amway business, my prudential career... Somehow i know deep within my heart, i can't make it in life without this companion in life - the Lord Jesus Christ, and so truly, i wanna thank You Jesus, from the bottom of my heart, for making me a better person, for guiding my emotions and my life and being always there by my side, no matter where i go, Your presence is with me, and Your Holy Spirit guides my path..

Indeed, THANK YOU JESUS!

Bloody pissed off...

My stupid a**hole dad went berserk on fri.. screamed at my sis who was playing computer games and after that slammed my laptop's screen and wrecked my CD rom drive. F*CKER sia. Now i can't even reformat my comp, then got virus, then can't backup a single freaking file.. F*CKING irritating son of a B*TCH. KNN.. He's DAMM lucky i'm now a Christian, otherwise my previous hot tempered self would have grabbed anything within range and smashed his F*CKING CB face.. No remorse de lor.. My heart nearly stopped when he slammed the screen and wrecked the CD ROM.. My God! All my hard work, my templates, excel files, client details, effectively my rice bowl lies in the comp.. U have no idea how much restrain and force of will i employed to keep myself from killing that B*STARD. I was literally quivering with anger. I roared at the idiot, reckon that almost the whole block heard me shouting at the F*CKER and probably the surrounding blocks too.. but i really didn't give a damm at tat point. F*CK la, so many info, plus memories stored in the comp, plus the comp is almost gonna die (the screen is already flickering....), then u go and handle the thing so roughly.. CB.. U won't wack the A*SHOLE ah? After a heated arguement which lasted kinda like 3 mins between me and the moronic head of the household, i had to stop because the innocent party is my mom, who is kinda crying already because i guess it pains her to see her son and husband (why the F*CK did she marry that IDIOT in the first place?) quarrel. I effectively slammed the door and spent the rest of the night complaining to God, asking why the F*CK isn't my mom's husband anywhere near the character of Jesus.. Even though he's a "Christian" (who knows what God he submits to? Satan???? F*CK la). Si beh sianz.. The my sis also another moron.. A Levels next year, dun wan to study, keep playing games. wad the F*CK.. then only know how to drop subjects and complain.. F*CK la! Sleep early and go to sch n study la! wad's so difficult?? bloody 17 freaking years old already still don't know how to think. CCB. Everyday down there Zhou Jie Lun.. Siao! worship ZJL can get A1 for you A Levels ah? Go F*CK spider la. CCB.. Last timei would have downed a bottle of absolute vodka and spend my time sketching at boat quay.. sometimes getting into staring sessions and end up fighting.. sianz.. this time round i avoided alcohol.. juz played the guitar till my fingers couldn't play anymore cause it bled.. sianz.. still busy quenching the fires of anger though.. if u r reading this, n u r a Christian, keep me in prayers will ya? Thanks..

Reflections after a 5 days detox prog...

well, i just managed to complete 5 days of detox... finally buckle under the temptation of tiramisu... starting to hallucinate char kway teow and durian le.. LOL! just kidding la! not so serious de. its just that i really cannot tahan a sudden switch from laksa, char kway teow and fried oyster to pineapple and papaya.. :)

5 days went by in a flash, with pineapples, papaya, prunes, apricots, tomatoes, corn, veggie salads being my best friends, coupled with the protein powder and vitamin C,B,E, omega 3 and fibre, my insides were literally scrubbed clean! on day 6 when i was having beef bolognaise, i can feel that my taste buds have sharpened a million fold - being extremely sensitive to the taste of pepper especially. that was rather pleasant :) the insides felt really empty (u can feel the intestines are kinda blank...), and when i had the sphagetti, i actually have a hunch where the stuff is located inside mi tummy n then later, in my intestines.. it feels weird!!!

but even though i only did 5 days (out of 35 days), i can feel that there is definitely a difference in my health, for one, my face is no longer oily, neither does my back secrete so much oil as compared to last time. i can get myself started much easier when i wake up in the morning and is more alert than usual. I react very strongly to outside food (especially on day 6 - the day after i ended the detox prog) and beef and stuff like that can really sap my strength, making me tired and lethargic. my complexion improved quite a lot, and that's the main reason i'm continuing the vitamins and protein, cause the effects are actually visible and lastly, i have a lot more energy!

sat my mom, my aunt and my "da jiu mu" are gonna start on the detox prog, maybe i go for 2nd round? :) then again, unless someone else is interested to do the prog together with me, then we can go thru it together! Then at least got encouragement ma... lolz

Festival of Praise.. YAY!!!!

Yest was the very first day of the annual Festival of Praise… got to kallang mrt station at around 5pm n took the shuttle to the indoor stadium. We started queuing at around 5.30pm, and were still considered fairly early over there… it was really a long long wait... almost 1hr 15mins were spent idling at the staircase area, hunting for friends who might be round the corner, figuring out how to entertain my sis… etc etc… but it was definitely worth every minute because as the minutes ticked by, the crowd gets bigger n bigger n bigger, even taufik was there! Haha! I was absolutely tingling with excitement as I waited over at the staircase, ignoring people squeezing through the masses to get to their friends and my sis’s grumblings.

The gates start to open at around 7pm, and as we went into the stadium, we were greeted by an unpleasant sight – people reserving seats! Dots… can’t they read English??? The screen clearly stated that there’s absolutely no reservation of seats allowed! I was really irritated by the peeps who literally sectored off sections of the stadium to cater to their own gang… sigh… then there’s the justification of their friends are in the toilet, they are on their way and God knows what they can come up with… sigh… the ushers are really having a very hard time, and it is not nice at all!

Things more or less start to settle down at 7.20pm, with the MC reminding time and again that there is no reservation of seats and that the FOP will start once the stadium is filled up. Cool! Adrenaline is already gushing out of my ears, and the Holy Spirit within is charging up to a state of zen… I can’t wait for it to start!

And it began! OMG the atmosphere was electrifying! Hillsongs worship leader Darlene got the ball rolling with and the whole stadium charged up at the second song - ! God is really in the house, and it is amazing! Awesome! 120 churches gathering together to praise and worship our Daddy God, a 11,000 or 12,000 strong congregation led by Hillsongs, coming together to sing in one voice, one purpose, one focus – to lift up the name of Jesus! My goodness, it is a powerful sight, moving and touching so many hearts. God placed His joy in my heart as I sang, and boy was I blessed! The tears came, tears of unspeakable joy, because the sight of a nation united in worship, seeking the glory of God together, I’d say, it’s a glimpse of heaven itself. How can I hold back my tears then?

Delirious also came this year, leading the festival with and and many other songs. Though the styles are different, the two bands complimented each other beautifully, Darlene also joined in to sing near the finale and gave the altar call while Delirious supported her with background music, and God poured out His Spirit that day, and hundreds streamed to the stage to receive the gift of Christ. It was such a moving sight, and as we rejoice with the new believers, the tears came, my heart swell with joy and I’m so proud of God! Thank You Jesus! Praise You Jesus! Hallelujah! Love ya like crazy Lord! :)
