itz been a while...

hee, its been quite a while since i last blogged.. dun even remember where i left off already.. dots.. been kinda busy lately, working that is.. :) often the week revolves waking up at 6am, coming home at 8pm, in between trying out various dishes at the CC opp my workplace.. ranging from chicken rice, char kway teow, chap chye perng to goreng pisang, pancakes and occasionally chicken cutlet or oyster omelette.. :) so healthy right? :P but i really enjoy the food there, its nice and cheap (the chap chye perng stall was selling fried chicken + a piece of stingray + tau gay for $2.50) and everything is just soooooo tasty! i've adapted to the time table / work schedule le.. plus the freezing environment of the banking hall (my fingers froze after sitting at the counter for 3 hrs... and my glasses fog up when i go for lunch...) all the while i made a couple of hiccups almost consistently everyday, learning gradually along the way.. from keying in the wrong amount, the wrong cheque number, to printing on the wrong vouchers, missing a step or two and forgetting to change the date on the "PAID" stamp.. haix.. hazardous job sia.. >.< but i thank God that i didn't paid the wrong amount (save once only) to the customer, and that isolated case the customer actually came back to pay back the difference.. :) so nice! haha.. i'm blessed, just so blessed by the Lord.. :) though the workplace is far, the people are really nice, even though i made a lot of mistakes, they still forgive n forget, and i truly appreciate their patience and willingness to help me in every way.. The C. officers, kelly, jesslyn, michelle r very nice too, hmm... compared to what i heard about other offices.. C. officers r scary ppl... lol.. the fierce fierce type.. >.<" there's my mentor dini, su, lay yong, aunty lee wah, mdm quek, wati who were alwayz there to guide.. and whom i thank God for as well. though its a long way from home, n i've seriously contemplated requesting for a change of branch (maybe to bukit merah for e.g.), i tink i'll choose to stay in JT cos of the environment.

tonite dad has a company dinner, so mom, sis n i went to magic wok to makan. we had thai styled fish, thai styled chicken, sambal kang kong and fried wan ton n rice. whole lot of it cost only $26+++.. cheap sia! and the fish is really nice, and the kang kong i simply adore, n man... it was just heavenly. :)

King of Heaven - Karen, New Creation Church

Who is there like you Lord?
Clothed in strength and beauty
Marvellous, so wonderful in deeds

You who calmed the tempest
You who made the blind see
Mighty is Your hand to deliver me

King of Heaven
Exalted above all
My victory, my song
Great in majesty and glory

King of Heaven
You're worthy to be praised
All honour to Your name
Jesus reigned forevermore

I absolutely adore this song!! just in case u r wondering, i'm a Christian :) going to church every sunday to listen to sing songs, take communion, be ministered by the pastor's preaching lor.. :)

today's my day off, so i spent it playing some songs, ironing my clothes and polishing my shoe, having a pretty slack day. mom suceeded in cooking hae bi hiam with kang kong, and amazingly the dish turned out to be pretty nice! :P i was eating like a rabbit today.. all veggies n fruits - pineapples, bananas, watermelon, water chestnuts, then kang kong and heng cai.. and the only consolation i had was char siew and some shao rou.. dots.. lucky the kang kong rawkz.. :P

Sunday i popped by Hope in the morn, passed the sermon CD that was preached in New Creation by Pastor Gary Clark from hillsongs to some of my ex-churchmates and also to the pastor, hopefully the message will bless them greatly :) my frens did caution me of New Creation, hmm... but i guess its because the rumors that the church is teaching the wrong things are still flying around ba.. anyway, they dunno the doctrine and what things are being preached so i guess bu zhi ze wu zui lo.. :)

my national service "gui ren"

on thurs evening i met one of the nicest persons i can ever know on planet earth - my ex OC in the army during my stay there as a transport sup.. :) he's one of those rare bosses who would actually stand up for their men and able to say "no" to ppl who are higher in rank than him.. hee... thanks be to God that i'm so well taken care of where ever i go.. :P haha!

I met OC at city hall, the place where we wait for the shuttle bus to bring us to suntec city. :) hee, he nearly couldn't recognise me (except for the height i guess) till i'm directly in front of him. :) it was really nice to see someone whom u respect and admire for their moral character and it was just simply heart warming.. :) he's now working near orchard, and i'll probably be catching up with him soon for lunch or maybe dinner.. hopefully time permits lo :)
