Admin Professionals' Week is here! Actually, it's Secretaries' Week!

Happy Happy 123..

Got presents from my bosses. A lovely Evelyn & Crabtree giftset placed in a white porcelain heart shape container decorated with pink wax flowers, peachy pink roses and tea tree leaves. 2nd gift - assorted chocolates placed in a wooden tresure box and a brunch of peach & red roses.

I felt much appreciated. But some time ago, I questioned my Creator why He made me a secretary? A job that is an administrative cum a job that is always instructed by bosses. And out of all, I have one direct boss and 4 other big bosses to serve. I am not complaining but happy.. cause I serve more than one boss. Makes me busy and my job challenging. But recently, a lot of tots came into my mind. Example: the life span of a secretary follows the boss, once the boss left the company, the assistant wont stay put too. Pay wise - lesser than buyer, planner, HR personnel etc. People always says secretaries do nothing. There is no prospect.

I disagreed. I do a lot of things.. This brings a lot of joy upon completion of assignments. Mostly importantly is that others must co-operate with you. I do like my job but at times, I still asked myself.. I guessed everyone will.

Mmmm... well, life a day to its fullest is the most important thing in life. :)

(Oh yes, back from the Kukup trip. A great, enjoyable trip.. more updates coming up..)

Just came back from dental appointment. Stitches in my mouth are being removed. Healing is taking place but with a hole. Gentle reminder to rinse my mouth after eating and take good care. Another follow-up for scaling and polishing a month later..

Received a touching story via email about the song :You are My Sunshine (That's my blog name too!!). started singing..

You are My Sunshine,
My ONLY Sunshine,
You make me happy when skies are gray,
You NEVER know DEAR, HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU.
So, PLEASE dont take MY SUNSHINE away...

Yes, please keep my loved ones always with me
For I treasure them
And teach me to love them and grew with them

Amen!

(Hurray, weekend is here. Will be away for Kukup trip!)

Yes, Loh-So. But must blog.. cause it's very good news.

W/L's friend finally got SAVED! After so many years of outreached, he had changed his mind and was led to salvation on Good Friday (Missed that service as I was resting at home). W/L called and broke the news to me! I was so happy that I cried out with joy of tears. But W/L cant confirm whether he is serious.

When I was in church for service on Sunday, the call came and I asked him to raise his hand. Yes, he did IMMEDIATELY, both hands!! Yipeee...

I just want to commit him into prayers and let him know that all good things are going to fall on him, let Him washes away all bitterness and unforgiveness, doubts. Knowing Him is a similar to resolving a very tricky Maths sum, you need to understand the question, find methods and apply different formulas, try to resolve and once you got the answer, you looked back and ask yourself why you never understood and why it took so long to understand. Yes, there is ONLY ONE and TRUE meaning to it!!

Thought that I am well enough to go back to work. Unfortunately, the bleeding started again. I decided to call it off at work and made an appointment for a check-up.

Dr Kuan said that it is due to tissue growth and opening stitches. Try not to open my mouth to wide. Well, i tried to. Afterall, need to eat right? I was given half a day MC to rest at home.

Yes, yesterday was praying together with W/L. I shared my experience of tooth extraction in another view. Sometimes, the root of the issue is always there. You just to have lift it into prayers. In life, God at times may pull out the root to solve the issue. At times, more faith, prayers are required. When the problem is beyond control. God has no choice but to hurt us by taking that "hammer" to hit on us HARD, so that we understand the pain and sufferings. But slowly, bits and pieces to get rid of. It's tough but once you understood the meaning. You looked forward for the sweetness and getting good results.

A verse that I received via SMS by sent my C.L. months ago:

"God disciplines us for our good, that we may share in His holiness. No discpline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteouness and peace for whoe who have been trained by it. "

Hebrews 12: 10-11

Finally, i plucked up my encourage to write in to my former church for transfer of membership. Thus, makes things easier when I submit my church transfer form and MPC form end of this month. Have decided on the dates... looking forward, stretching my neck! :)

Took some time to do some filing and packed my drawer. Really need a new warerobe. The former has been serving me for coming to more than 10years! Time for a change for bigger and spacious and more of all, nicer design, afterall, I got it when I was barely 10 plus.

No more wisdom... tooth!

I had only one wisdom tooth, thank God for one only. Both my siblings and most of my friends have with 2 - 4 wisdom teeth.

After having endless headaches, uclers and toothache for months. Finally, silly me.. got the reason for this pain I have been bearing!! MY WISOM TOOTH!! the BIG Root of the problem. Been to the dentist around 1 year ago, Dr Kuan, he said that there is only (1) wisdom tooth growing, slow development. When I went back to him last month, he told me that it is developing well.. upright!! (GREAT!) but it's growing right at the back whereby my back gums may be covered the tooth and have food stucked there often even if i tried to brush hard enough- it's no good. Cause if i brushed hard to keep it clear, i ended with sore gums and my gums bled that cause uclers and toothache easily. Though there is no hurry, i decided to have an appointment to extract out a month later..

Days ago, I went for the extraction. The day came, things just went SA-LA... I took MC leave in adv. My appointment was at 10am but i woke up @ 10am (forgotten to set my alarm!!) ; the nurse called and asked me whether i realised my appointment was today.. But she was nice, asked me to take breakfast and told me not to hurry.

When i reached the clinic, I asked her the schedule that morning; it was packed as I can tell patients waiting.. Pai Seh...

Nervous + Butterfly in tummy as i waited for my turn. As usual, the smile and friendly dentist was there to greet me. He explained to me the process of extraction. Took a jab and awaits for x-ray results... Looks bad! the roots of wisom tooth is bigger than my wisdom tooth. A bit of complication he explained. Went on, the numbness to start off, i was kinda in my dreamland.And something else, then "pluck" the tooth. Very bad, after a few pulls, it didnt come loose. As he pulled, I can also felt the nerves and the other side of my jaw pulled! The force used was rough that it hit my lower gum. I am really awake!! He told me that he has to cut out the surrounded gums a bit to create a drain for bigger area as my roots are bigger. Another few pulls, I was tearing a bit, my mind thinking whether I cant take the pain or what.. He gave another anthesistic jab. Was better.. He told me that it's getting a bit more complicated; he has to saw/drill for my tooth to break into 2. And later, he has to crack it, warning of sound and pain. I took it well, maybe the pulls and worn off jab just now has made me stronger. The extraction was unsuccessful after a few times, really painful; anthesetic was gone again.

I felt like giving up.. tearing... my endurances level is that low?? But I cant give up, though it is really pain and I cant even rinse properly.

Dr Kuan said it's tough, nothing is out. He will have to saw into smaller pieces. and more extraction pulls (I felt terrible, when is it going to be over?? Stupid me, shouldnt make any appointment to gone though all this sufferings). Another jab. The 1st piece came out and after another 4-5 pulls, everything was out. Finally, all over.. Phews.. Dont know whether child labour is worse than this or not. A final stitches which is painless and nothing as compared to the pain.

Cant stop the bled and I bite on the grauze. He shown me my broken tooth and told me the complications happened earlier and cautions, what will happened.

Almost 2 hrs of operation and $513.

When I went back home, though athesistic was gone. But it's ok. A swollen check and non-stop bleeding. Took milo, medication and nap. Blood on the pillow. Next stupid thing I did when I was awake - i brushed my teeth, though not near the part but pain pain pain.. I cried.. Hungry, I told my mom I need food - porridge, very soft porridge. Impressive, I can eat. I surprised everyone - yes, I am a GLUT!! Hahah.. Maybe to me, the pain I underwent earlier was nothing as compare to bleeding and pain now.

2 Day - cheeks swollen, yes, bleeding still.

3 Day - subside a bit of everything. Took a bit of solid food but still hurts. Nurse was very nice. She called me to follow up and asked me to get more medication before clinic closed.

4 Day - subside of cheek, almost there. Bleeding stops but sometimes I rinsed my mouth once I can felt blood. Went for cousin's wedding, took food but stopped at meat. Jaw aching.

5 Day - PTL!! cheek looked normal. Able to take solid food but controlling and taking it slow with another normal side of jaw. Went to church - life is also normal.. :) finally, I can put on the smile and look forward to going back to work. Thank GOD!! :) :) :)

Rebuking - reprimand, scolding, telling off.

2 Types of Rebuking that Happened:

1) Rebuking the trees and birds.

Just called my bf, he is cleaning up the car. Dont understand what happened recently - wherever he parked his car, the birds will drop their shit on his red car. And it's horrible sight of almost the whole car getting stained everywhere. Really, dont understand why. haha.. the birds loved his vehicle but WHY only his vehicle? It can be a whole row of vehicles and none got it except his car. Nowadays, after parking his car in the open area, the first thing he does is to point his finger at the trees and birds to rebuke not to drop anything on his vehicle. Yes, amazingly, it HELPS! haha.. If you see a man rebuke trees and birds and standing near a red vehicle, possiblility it's him.. haha.. But he has learnt one thing - one has to be responsible for his own possession; you have to learnt how to clear your own shit. He tried paying others to wash his car but same situation came back. When he does his own cleaning - nothing will happened or less of it will happen.

2) Rebuking a friend

This is a good friend that we have been trying to reach out to. Always been gentle and nice, learning to give in, ving patience and kindness. But I am left with no choice but to rebuke him. Can you image that how calm it was to rebuke in front of a person? But once he stepped away, my tears flown and my heart got stirred. I turned to my bf and asked him whether I am done the wrong way. Can you image that what was spoken may just ruined everything and our relationship? But if kindness we shown is some thing he's been rejecting, we just have to play badies with more hurtful words and never pleasing to the ears. Out of sudden, it led me to understand that sometimes, we have done a lot of things that hurted Him. Never did he shut his door and stop his blessings but there is just a situation whereby He has no alternative but to shut his door so that we may learn how to scream or shout for help..
