2 more months to go and it will be end of 2005.

That's fast! I have spend months rotting at home... think of it, its been a good break. image spending more than half of your entire life working like a salve.

I had spent a meaningful weekend. On sat, as usual, i attended sat svc n had good tian sum @ parkway hawker centre. I always like this stall located right opposite the wet kway teow stall. they served good chinese cantonese snacks at resonable pricing. whereby after having so called "dinner", we went to seletar reservoir with the rest of the gang. It's a quiet night over there, where people fishing, having gathering, some showing off their sporty cars. they had set up a small bbq pit with rocks which looked what cavemen would do in the past!! (very innovative!!) we chatted over there with past flowing in.. silly tots n stupid things that we or rather they had done during the past decade. the guys are ehem... old liao. image lanky punks to 'uncles' with tummies!! hee hee.. we ended with a teh-alia session at jalan kayu.

On sun, my bae n i attended a wedding solemnization by my bae's CG member. a simple recept at Laguna C.C., vineyard restaurant.he is late in fetching me (as usual). we are late.. lost his time, lost his way. we missed the ceremony but got in time for the buffet. it was simple but a relaxing afternoon. the vineyard restaurant was facing the lake with fountain n golf course. with small gathering n little children running around on the greenery, it was a wonderful scene.. :)

Had started work in the new company for 3 days.

Totally new environment, with 20-25 mins of traveling distance of a direct bus from my place in the morning, it is considered very convenient as compare to my previous job traveling distance (bus -> train -> train interchange -> train + 10 mins walk). it's also additional blessing to save a bit on my transportation fees.

For meals, there is a inhouse canteen operated by one of the well-known buffet caterers. so, the food is overall rated by good by me. but of course, being a newcomer, everything tastes fantastic as compare to some who works there for donkey years.

As for the pple, there, basically, they are nice, friendly group of pple but of course in the midst, you may expect some black sheeps. my trainer is a very detailed n patient lady. so far, so good..

Well, talking about all good things must comes with something bad. I had developed a bit of sore throat a day before i start my new job (my nightmare!!). Over the past few days, with stress factor, air-con room ie. it has worsen the itch of my throat. By this afternoon, i was coughing non-stop at times n feeling very uncomfortable. nothing came of out my mouth when i tried to speak or it's the clearing of phlegm.. (i felt so awful, pple must be thinking that this new gal is bringing virus to the company!!). i tried to excuse myself as well as having more warm water n herbal candy. unfortunately, it only cause temporary relief. sob sob. the worst of all is the temptation of eating oily n spicy stuff in on my mind!!!

Thank God for the long week for weekend + public holidays + company holidays!! Well, it's a blessing i reported work a week in advance to enjoy this enjoyment!! :-) i will take this opportunity to rest at home, meet up with some friends etc. Charge myself with full energy before facing work again!!

Stressed! Stressed! Stressed!

I have signed my 1-yr contract agreement with the job agency this afternoon and will start work tomorrow!! that's really fast! now, i felt the anxiety as i have rested for such a long period. Am i able to cope with new environment, my new job scope n my new colleagues?? these are questionmarks on my mind. i don think i will be able to sleep early thinking abt it. sigh..

Days just passed quickly when you are no longer under stress.

I have finally settled btw 2 job offers. I am picking something that more "challenging" with contract agreement. Call me silly. but though it is more taxing, but i hope to gain from it. the only issue that is the paper work. even the consultant tried to convince me that the interested party wants me to start off asap but keep telling me that the paper work is unsettled?? very strange. ai, so, here i am.. waiting.

Over the weekend, we went to the car workshop @ sin ming to service my red chilli babe again. countless times since the major accident. well, pratically, it is like a heart passby, not a minor operation, after that, there is still maintenance and follow-ups. but you cant always go back every now and then, it may irritate the service man. without a car, thank God at least Bae's dad owns a commercial lorry, we can still travel ard with that.

It's been a "turtle" weekend. not that cose it is slow moving but we have seen turtles/tortoises at few places we went. on sat, we went to tea garden @ farrer area. it's a relaxing afternoon sitting by the pond. over there, the tortoises are "suntanning".. stretching their necks out. i figure it's not a bad being a turtle.. what you do is swimming in the pond n tan. P/H disagreed, he said that are longlived animals.. yupz, i do agree at this point. later in the evening, we attended 2 birthday dinners, one belongs to the FSS (lemon grass @ downtown). intitally, the food was not too bad but servings were small.. only when it came to the last 2 dishes. softshell crab that was consider oily n really soft.. eee.. last dish serve was peeled prawn in thai curry sauce. the coconut milk was covering the freshness of everything on the plate n everyone agreed that it tasted weird. we proceed to esplanade for ice-cream, wanted to go to al denta but with only 3 types of desserts on the menu, we went off disappointedly. ended having hagen daz ice-cream (yummy but really sweet..). after biding farewell, we went to another party @ changi village, one of the gals bought a dog recently (cant remember the breed but at @2k, you can easily distinguish that it is a pure breed), nice long fur, really obedient. but my Bae bullies the poor animal, all the gals commented that he is going to be very strict with his children in the future.

on sun, as usual, Bae woke up late for church service. i had to scream at him for speeding which i hated. when service ended, we went proceed with our plans on fetching P/H, lunch @ long house n walk at Macritche. we wanted the 10km walk but ended with additional as we brought P/H to the treetop. again, over there, i lost control of screaming for my fears of heights n the unstability of the shaky bridge. i was trembling n shivered of cold sweats as i completed the treetop. i will never never attempt to walk by my own (i swear). overall, it was great walk as the weather was windy, n the breeze is constantly in the air. as we walked, of course, we stopped at the beautiful views near the golf course area. the red-tail fishes swimming n the families of turtles/tortoises swimming n suntanning. but as there was bits of downpour over the last few weeks, the fields n tracks were muddy. but no worries, we will be back soon!! :)

i cant image that i have been eating non-stop the whole day.

started the day with a early morning call from my Bae, he's all already to pick me for breakfast??? Fishy.. Ah ha, bingo!!! he was waken up by his youngest sister to send some things to her workplace. the sky will have fallen if he can wake up that early without motive..

we have breakfast at Mcdonald... hee hee.. cant believe finally we made it for breakfast (after all the promises for yrs that we'll have Mcd breakfast together)??? he had big breakfast meal shared with me n i had a fillet o fish burger. someone complaint that i ate 3/4 of his meal. well, he had his 2 big bites of my burger too!! that's fair, okay (Mr, if you're reading this!!).

back home, i cleared my mails. after that, i am hungry again. had some snacks, peanutbutter sandwich. n oopps, friend called me to meet up later. i had an ice-coffee n chicken pau. went to Junction 8, halfway, well.. hunger strike me again??? went to the coffeeshop near the interchange for white chicken rice (recommending this stall found at opposite Bishan C.C. that sells all white chicken meat, tender n soft, but the rice is a bit oily though).

when i reached home at 7 plus, the potatoe soup that my mum cooked was so good n thick, i had 2 bowls of it.

I am a little piglet at heart.. okay okay, i am at pig at heart not oni today but all the time ;p

It's only tuesday and i am drained..worn out.

Yesterday, went to company A for shortlisting. again chat for an hour plus. things were okay till i told the lady that i had an other offer by company B. instantly, her face changed. but she is a strange person, at the same time, she was also selling the advantages of being a secretary. after the talk, she mentioned that she will consider and got back to me on the shortlisting outcome. in the same afternoon, the HR dept called me and made arrangement to meet up on Tues (this morning). in my heart, i was glad at least this issue may be settled and i am seeing the letter of employment (haha.. at last!!!).

When i went down this morning, i cant believe it!! Is it the company's culture to keep visitors or guests waiting?? i waited for another half an hr or so (agaiN!!, it's the 3rd time). the HR personnel went thru the job scope, my past working experiences etc again (i concluded that i have spend total of >5 hrs for 3 rounds of interviews).. finally, explained the benefits n package. Hear this. she told me that the monthly salary will be inclusive of AWS and i have to revert her on my expectations on the spot. i cant be taking out a calculator to figure out the amt, oni thru mental calcalation (i confessed that i am bad in maths). after the interview, took out my cell n calculated. OMG!! Overall, the amt was a bit more than my previous pay oni. well, that's so called the 'trick' or rather the catch of it, no time to consider much.. sigh.. kinda regret, should mark up a bit more.. cause she did tell me that i am missing this yr's increment n no increment after 3mths probation etc.

i was so tired by afternoon, not used to waking up early and travelling down, going thru tedious interviews. with empty stomache, exhausted and slight headache, i met up with Bae. upon reaching the coffeeshop, i went to queue at the bak cho mee stall ASAP. haha.. he realised that i am dying of starvation as i usually take my own sweet time to find seats n have diffcult time thinking what to have. haah.. i can be so piggy at times!!

Now, i can hope that both companies will show some black n white. i sian alreadi. initially, i felt so excited but now, very insecure. just hope that it's not fruitless as things oni came out of their mouths for confirmation. i am not trying to be greedy but practical. Afterall, a job is still a job at the end of the day.

Haven't been dinning at japanese restaurant with my Bae for a long time, we decided to visit Ichiban Sushi @ Parkway over the weekend :-)









A hungry Bae (so hungry that he's going to eat the chopsticks!)

Our starter!!

Curry Udon & (Chawanmushi is part of other set meal)

Beef set meal!!!

Too hungry alreadi (Bae can't wait to start)

Maybe it's was 6 plus when we reached the restaurant n both of us are famished, we have a very hearty meal. Overall, it tastes fantastic n yummy.. plus, we only burned a hole of $35.00 in all. *Grin Grin*

It's been pouring heavily the whole day since morning. let's considered this as "shower of blessings". when i watched the news this evening, i really pity those who worked outdoor, it's been a cold day. n accordingly to my mom, it's due to switch of monsoon at end year which will continue till end of the year. but the air smells fresh after the rain.

it's another cross road of job search. i will be attending the shortlisting for 2 companies that i hope i will secure. the pros of one company in comparison is the cons of the versa company. i will be meeting the person-in-charge for further discussion, i am really praying hard that God will lead the way n put in the right job, i dont have wish of job hopping. anyway, i am not getting young n i am quite disappointed that things didn't work out for my previous company but overall, a learning n training ground; i gained n lost some things too.

i attended church service last night. my dar's cell group leader introduced me to another cell group leader, possibilities is that i am visiting them soon. i also hoped to settle in a new cell soon for been dragging this matter. i think it is a promise between God and I.

A documentary i watched this afternoon said if you believe, God will exist. if you don't, God will not. my stand is i believed n He is real in my life. As i said to others, things will get better and better because of HIM.. :)

Fear not, He is a loving Father. He wants to love you and gives you His blessings.

"Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know."
Jeremiah 33:3

Cant image from 7pm last night, i was chatting over the phone till coming to 1plus midnight.

S/H was on the phone with me, as usual gals chat everything under the sun from shopping to friends etc. n i took a break for 20 mins, caught up with my ex-colleagues on whether attending some ex-coll's wedding to work again etc.. last conversation with another ex-colleague who is feeling troubled about her current job.. it just went on blah blah... till too tired. sooner or later, my phone wire may be burning..

woke up n decided to cook something. honestly, have not practising my cooking skills, pondered for awhile by looking into my cabinet. and.. INSTANT NOODLES!! haha... lazy.. instead of mixing the egg with the mee, i fried the egg (well, my sec school friends used to do that, cantonese style, i think).

End product, doesn't look that yummy?//!! ;(

And there is one thing, i hate to do in this world... if you know me well, cleaning, washing etc.. that's why it is left at my sink. and you are right, there is something called "mommy power!!"" she did the washing for me. I am just so fortunate!!

What a mess!

When I am still working, I would tell my ex-colleagues "TGIF". but now, maybe i will say, "Thank GOD I am still alive!!" :) A super lazy day, woke up really late (ard 11am). envious?? well, you can have this kind of life if you're jobless, whereby you'll be penniless too..

went for 2 interviews at MNC companies of very different trades. had a long long interview session with one of the interviewer (imaged the timing was so long. the weather turned from sunny to stormy to pouring and out came the sun again!!) supperr lonnnng.. Ggrrh..maybe interviewer trying to be super detailed. i realised for the common thing is even if i got employed by either company, i wont be starting work soon, around end of the year! just keep my fingers, toes crossed!!!

A slow week. i have been watching my diet. you have a super slack life when you don work; i have been waking up late, eating, surfing the net, eating, watching tv n sleeping etc.. that's bad. in long run, i am no better than a bummer n a couched potatoe, a glut. in fact, i tried very hard to change my lifestyle. ie waking slightly earlier - failed (no self discipline!!) eating less - Failed!! (still eating like nobody's business.. you think you can change a glut???.. ) Sleeping early - Failed (my biology clock is upside nowadays!!) Exercising - Passed!! (finally!! haha, something i managed to push myself into). I did stretching once i woke up from bed n forced myself to jog ard my neighbourhood every alternate days.. that's the only achievement in the week!! fortunately, i see results (in my weight!! at least losing 1-2kg!!) so, keep up the work n reinforce more discipline in my daily routine life!!

Work hard n you'll achieve your goals!!! JIA YOU JIA YOU!!!

Developed some rashes over weekend.. must be food allergy. well, it still didnt stop me from having the authentic chilli crabs by Mdm Lee. (Ooopps... Looks yummy!!!) Thumbs up, yip yip hooray for the greatest mommy on the planet!!!

i wanted to start a blog for sometime but being an IT idiot, i dont know how to set up on my blog site. It was until i was jobless and have time to explore the internet to find information on how to set up a blog site, type of blog site available n even doing up blog skins..

This blog is not a show-off thing (ie. xiaxue blog). it is a records of my life journal that i may express my tots.. maybe no one will read it but i will. i'll like to recall what i did in the past, my silly tots n concludes on life moves on.

maybe it is a source to relate or outpour of my inner feelings. and a link journal to my loved ones n my next generation (too far of tots, haha).

some interesting blogs i read so far is a blog dedicated from parents to her daugher on pics n childhood stage. another blog is on journal of couple who are childless, adopts a child from china. though with different cultures, race n background, the child adopts to new parents n environment. it is a testimony n encouraging blog to couple who really have tots of going to adoption (how interesting n touching).

To my friends n loved ones, it is a way to let them know of things that has/had happened in our lives recently, it is not to bad-mouth anyone. i hope that my blog is a testimony to some who has downcast in their lives cause no one has a smooth path in their life too. Life has uphills and rocky paths too. so, jia you everyone!!!

When you are jobless, it doesnt matter that much whether weekend is coming or not. Cause even with weekend coming, your loved ones may be busy working too.

It's Sat n raining when i woke up ard 12 noon. Hv decided to spend this afternoon with S/H at east coast cycling. Skies cleared again upon reaching n it's a windy day too. i did enjoy myself with an hour of non-stop cycling from one end to another end. We had a chat as usual on our common friends. later, she proceed to meet her friend n i went to church.

Come back home early n i was reading the bible. read something very interesting, cause in e bible, it's always talks abt love in the commandment or in 1 John. the following is somehow appealing to me on topic of Love:

Love
Love must be sincere.
Hate what is evil; cling to what is good.
Be devoted to one another in brotherly love.
Honor one another above yourselves.
Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord.
Be joyful in hope, patient in afflication, faithful in prayer.
Share with God's people who are in need.
Practice hospitality.

Bless those who perscute you; bless and do not curse.
Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn.
Live in harmony with one another.
Do not be proud but be willing to associate with people of low position.
Do not be conceited.

Do not repay anyone evil for evil.
Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everyone.
If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live in peace with everyone.
Do not take revenge, my friends but leave room for God's wrath, for it is written: "It is mine to avenge; I will repay." says the Lord. On the contrary:

"If the enemy is hungry, feed him;
If he is thirsty, give me something to drink.
In doing this, you will heap burning coals over his head."

Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

Romans 12: 9 -21

Very interesting!! well, in my layman terms it means:

Love must be real n genuine.
No matter what, love one another.
Keep that love going.
Be hopeful and be patience with people around you.
Be the host, humble yourself; helps those around you.

Bless everyone n you'll be blessed.
Always practice modesty so that people will relate issues with you.

Do not curse or get anger easily.
Do things that right in the eyes of God
Follow his commandments.
Live in peace.

God will bless those who obeys.
And He will deal with those who are evil.

Love your neighbour as yourself.
Judgement will be on those who did evil.
All good will be upon you at the end of the day.

We are like magnets..

If i am the north pole,
You'll be the south

If i am lonely,
You'll be busy

If i like sour,
You'll like sweet

We have our differences,
Again we are attracted to each other,
Just like magnets.

(Too mushy, out out out!!!)

Another day has passed :(

Pray that tomorrow is a better day.

Silly tots of the day..

You think that you are living in a perfect world? well, there isn't one that exist. You and I are not perfect pple, so there isn't such things as perfect job or perfect master pieces. It is subjected to individual's opinion.

When things dont work out i.e. due to miscommunication, dont it on anyone. What you and i have to do is to go on and keep trying.Dont sit there and cry; it's useless. you think that world is fair n square, well, it is round. so, it's just keeps going, moving on, even without you and me.

DONT QUIT

When things goes wrong
as they sometimes will
When the road you're trudging
Seems all uphill
When funds are low
And debts are high
And you want to smile
But you have to sigh
When care is pressing you down a bit..
By all means pray and dont you quit
Success is a failure turned inside out
God's hidden gift in the clouds of doubt
You never can tell how close you're
It maybe near when it seems afar
So trust in the Lord
when you're hardest hit..
It's when things go wrong
that you must not quit!

How much do you know about yourself?
(Rate: Excellent, Very Good, Average, Bad, Very Bad)

1) How do you feel today?
Bad

2) Do you see potential in getting a job in one or two week's time?
Bad

3) How do you feel about yourself after attending the job interview last Friday?
Very Bad

4) What are your chances of getting your dream job or idea job?
Bad

5) Give a rating of yourself?
Very Bad Bad


Conclusion
You have to positive on yourself and your job search. If nothing works out, you have to try harder. Try looking around for temporary job. You can't let down those who has been encouraging you all these times. You have choosen your own choice, you can't blame on anyone or even God. You have only let yourself down. Buck up!!! You can do it!!!

Would you wanna live in fairyland?
And be the princess you wannabe
Everything that surrounds you is beautiful

I wannabe that princess
Living in my fairyland
Waking up in a big castle
And see beautiful butterflies surrounding me
With the scent of floral fragrance
And feel sun ray on me

Spending a quiet afternoon, reading...

Ooops.. he has discovered.. (Cheeky look.!!)

i was so tired by afternoon, not used to waking up early and travelling down, going thru tedious interviews. with empty stomache, exhausted and slight headache, i met up with Bae. upon reaching the coffeeshop, i went to queue at the bak cho mee stall ASAP. haha.. he realised that i am dying of starvation as i usually take my own sweet time to find seats n have diffcult time thinking what to have. haah.. i can be so piggy at times!!

Now, i can hope that both companies will show some black n white. i sian alreadi. initially, i felt so excited but now, very insecure. just hope that it's not fruitless as things oni came out of their mouths for confirmation. i am not trying to be greedy but practical. Afterall, a job is still a job at the end of the day.

Haven't been dinning at japanese restaurant with my Bae for a long time, we decided to visit Ichiban Sushi @ Parkway over the weekend :-)









A hungry Bae (so hungry that he's going to eat the chopsticks!)

Our starter!!

Curry Udon & (Chawanmushi is part of other set meal)

Beef set meal!!!

Too hungry alreadi (Bae can't wait to start)

Maybe it's was 6 plus when we reached the restaurant n both of us are famished, we have a very hearty meal. Overall, it tastes fantastic n yummy.. plus, we only burned a hole of $35.00 in all. *Grin Grin*

It's been pouring heavily the whole day since morning. let's considered this as "shower of blessings". when i watched the news this evening, i really pity those who worked outdoor, it's been a cold day. n accordingly to my mom, it's due to switch of monsoon at end year which will continue till end of the year. but the air smells fresh after the rain.

it's another cross road of job search. i will be attending the shortlisting for 2 companies that i hope i will secure. the pros of one company in comparison is the cons of the versa company. i will be meeting the person-in-charge for further discussion, i am really praying hard that God will lead the way n put in the right job, i dont have wish of job hopping. anyway, i am not getting young n i am quite disappointed that things didn't work out for my previous company but overall, a learning n training ground; i gained n lost some things too.

i attended church service last night. my dar's cell group leader introduced me to another cell group leader, possibilities is that i am visiting them soon. i also hoped to settle in a new cell soon for been dragging this matter. i think it is a promise between God and I.

A documentary i watched this afternoon said if you believe, God will exist. if you don't, God will not. my stand is i believed n He is real in my life. As i said to others, things will get better and better because of HIM.. :)

Fear not, He is a loving Father. He wants to love you and gives you His blessings.

"Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know."
Jeremiah 33:3

Cant image from 7pm last night, i was chatting over the phone till coming to 1plus midnight.

S/H was on the phone with me, as usual gals chat everything under the sun from shopping to friends etc. n i took a break for 20 mins, caught up with my ex-colleagues on whether attending some ex-coll's wedding to work again etc.. last conversation with another ex-colleague who is feeling troubled about her current job.. it just went on blah blah... till too tired. sooner or later, my phone wire may be burning..

woke up n decided to cook something. honestly, have not practising my cooking skills, pondered for awhile by looking into my cabinet. and.. INSTANT NOODLES!! haha... lazy.. instead of mixing the egg with the mee, i fried the egg (well, my sec school friends used to do that, cantonese style, i think).

End product, doesn't look that yummy?//!! ;(

And there is one thing, i hate to do in this world... if you know me well, cleaning, washing etc.. that's why it is left at my sink. and you are right, there is something called "mommy power!!"" she did the washing for me. I am just so fortunate!!

What a mess!

When I am still working, I would tell my ex-colleagues "TGIF". but now, maybe i will say, "Thank GOD I am still alive!!" :) A super lazy day, woke up really late (ard 11am). envious?? well, you can have this kind of life if you're jobless, whereby you'll be penniless too..

went for 2 interviews at MNC companies of very different trades. had a long long interview session with one of the interviewer (imaged the timing was so long. the weather turned from sunny to stormy to pouring and out came the sun again!!) supperr lonnnng.. Ggrrh..maybe interviewer trying to be super detailed. i realised for the common thing is even if i got employed by either company, i wont be starting work soon, around end of the year! just keep my fingers, toes crossed!!!

A slow week. i have been watching my diet. you have a super slack life when you don work; i have been waking up late, eating, surfing the net, eating, watching tv n sleeping etc.. that's bad. in long run, i am no better than a bummer n a couched potatoe, a glut. in fact, i tried very hard to change my lifestyle. ie waking slightly earlier - failed (no self discipline!!) eating less - Failed!! (still eating like nobody's business.. you think you can change a glut???.. ) Sleeping early - Failed (my biology clock is upside nowadays!!) Exercising - Passed!! (finally!! haha, something i managed to push myself into). I did stretching once i woke up from bed n forced myself to jog ard my neighbourhood every alternate days.. that's the only achievement in the week!! fortunately, i see results (in my weight!! at least losing 1-2kg!!) so, keep up the work n reinforce more discipline in my daily routine life!!

Work hard n you'll achieve your goals!!! JIA YOU JIA YOU!!!

Developed some rashes over weekend.. must be food allergy. well, it still didnt stop me from having the authentic chilli crabs by Mdm Lee. (Ooopps... Looks yummy!!!) Thumbs up, yip yip hooray for the greatest mommy on the planet!!!

i wanted to start a blog for sometime but being an IT idiot, i dont know how to set up on my blog site. It was until i was jobless and have time to explore the internet to find information on how to set up a blog site, type of blog site available n even doing up blog skins..

This blog is not a show-off thing (ie. xiaxue blog). it is a records of my life journal that i may express my tots.. maybe no one will read it but i will. i'll like to recall what i did in the past, my silly tots n concludes on life moves on.

maybe it is a source to relate or outpour of my inner feelings. and a link journal to my loved ones n my next generation (too far of tots, haha).

some interesting blogs i read so far is a blog dedicated from parents to her daugher on pics n childhood stage. another blog is on journal of couple who are childless, adopts a child from china. though with different cultures, race n background, the child adopts to new parents n environment. it is a testimony n encouraging blog to couple who really have tots of going to adoption (how interesting n touching).

To my friends n loved ones, it is a way to let them know of things that has/had happened in our lives recently, it is not to bad-mouth anyone. i hope that my blog is a testimony to some who has downcast in their lives cause no one has a smooth path in their life too. Life has uphills and rocky paths too. so, jia you everyone!!!

When you are jobless, it doesnt matter that much whether weekend is coming or not. Cause even with weekend coming, your loved ones may be busy working too.

It's Sat n raining when i woke up ard 12 noon. Hv decided to spend this afternoon with S/H at east coast cycling. Skies cleared again upon reaching n it's a windy day too. i did enjoy myself with an hour of non-stop cycling from one end to another end. We had a chat as usual on our common friends. later, she proceed to meet her friend n i went to church.

Come back home early n i was reading the bible. read something very interesting, cause in e bible, it's always talks abt love in the commandment or in 1 John. the following is somehow appealing to me on topic of Love:

Love
Love must be sincere.
Hate what is evil; cling to what is good.
Be devoted to one another in brotherly love.
Honor one another above yourselves.
Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord.
Be joyful in hope, patient in afflication, faithful in prayer.
Share with God's people who are in need.
Practice hospitality.

Bless those who perscute you; bless and do not curse.
Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn.
Live in harmony with one another.
Do not be proud but be willing to associate with people of low position.
Do not be conceited.

Do not repay anyone evil for evil.
Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everyone.
If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live in peace with everyone.
Do not take revenge, my friends but leave room for God's wrath, for it is written: "It is mine to avenge; I will repay." says the Lord. On the contrary:

"If the enemy is hungry, feed him;
If he is thirsty, give me something to drink.
In doing this, you will heap burning coals over his head."

Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

Romans 12: 9 -21

Very interesting!! well, in my layman terms it means:

Love must be real n genuine.
No matter what, love one another.
Keep that love going.
Be hopeful and be patience with people around you.
Be the host, humble yourself; helps those around you.

Bless everyone n you'll be blessed.
Always practice modesty so that people will relate issues with you.

Do not curse or get anger easily.
Do things that right in the eyes of God
Follow his commandments.
Live in peace.

God will bless those who obeys.
And He will deal with those who are evil.

Love your neighbour as yourself.
Judgement will be on those who did evil.
All good will be upon you at the end of the day.

We are like magnets..

If i am the north pole,
You'll be the south

If i am lonely,
You'll be busy

If i like sour,
You'll like sweet

We have our differences,
Again we are attracted to each other,
Just like magnets.

(Too mushy, out out out!!!)

Another day has passed :(

Pray that tomorrow is a better day.

Silly tots of the day..

You think that you are living in a perfect world? well, there isn't one that exist. You and I are not perfect pple, so there isn't such things as perfect job or perfect master pieces. It is subjected to individual's opinion.

When things dont work out i.e. due to miscommunication, dont it on anyone. What you and i have to do is to go on and keep trying.Dont sit there and cry; it's useless. you think that world is fair n square, well, it is round. so, it's just keeps going, moving on, even without you and me.

DONT QUIT

When things goes wrong
as they sometimes will
When the road you're trudging
Seems all uphill
When funds are low
And debts are high
And you want to smile
But you have to sigh
When care is pressing you down a bit..
By all means pray and dont you quit
Success is a failure turned inside out
God's hidden gift in the clouds of doubt
You never can tell how close you're
It maybe near when it seems afar
So trust in the Lord
when you're hardest hit..
It's when things go wrong
that you must not quit!

How much do you know about yourself?
(Rate: Excellent, Very Good, Average, Bad, Very Bad)

Conclusion
You have to positive on yourself and your job search. If nothing works out, you have to try harder. Try looking around for temporary job. You can't let down those who has been encouraging you all these times. You have choosen your own choice, you can't blame on anyone or even God. You have only let yourself down. Buck up!!! You can do it!!!

Would you wanna live in fairyland?
And be the princess you wannabe
Everything that surrounds you is beautiful

I wannabe that princess
Living in my fairyland
Waking up in a big castle
And see beautiful butterflies surrounding me
With the scent of floral fragrance
And feel sun ray on me

Spending a quiet afternoon, reading...

Ooops.. he has discovered.. (Cheeky look.!!)
