We've got 2 Singaporean Chinese,
1 Singaporean Malay,
1 Singaporean Indian,
1 Singaporean Caucasian,
1 Indian,
1 Sri Lankan,
1 Indonesian,
and 2 Filipinos
sharing an authentic Southern Indian meal
of fish, chicken and mutton briyani,
fried rice,
curry,
and lassi,
which by the way will be my favourite drink as of now.

Lunchtime has evolved from an individual thing
to more of a cosy daily group gathering
where we'll laugh, tease, comfort and encourage one another.

everyone here is like my family
and i feel so blessed to have such a work environment
where there is love over competition.

Thank God for this wonderful working experience. :)

we were at lunch as usual,
all laughing merrily at a friendly joke,
when i felt a sudden tinge of sadness
because very soon im not gg to part of this family
anymore.
i know i can still come back and visit
but its not gg to be the same,
with me being out of their main context
and them being out of mine.

I do hope the girls will at least still keep up our friendship
through the proposed pajamas party and other silly gatherings. :)

Thank God for all the joy He has given me
through this place
and these people. :)
I do hope I've been a joy to them in the time that I was here
as much as they have been to me. :)

I know its time for me to move on,
so even when there's sadness in the background,
Im looking forward to the challenges and changes ahead
knowing that my Lord has gone before me
to open the way
and He will always be where He will lead me
going through it all with me
and using it all to build me up
and bring me closer
and closer
and closer to Him. :)

There will always be joy
peace and hope
when we keep our eyes on God
who is faithful
and does not change
forever and evermore.

:)

Just got my breakfast from ttc:
fried noodles, a nugget and a sunny side up. :)
with lots of sambal chili wahahah.
yums!
i hope there are nice breakfast places at eunos techpark.

I've been waking up late a lot,
which translates to a lot of cabbing.
this is a luxury that i wldnt be able to afford
when i start working at eunos.

and thus,
bunking in with tingy sounds like a wonderful idea.
wahahaha. :D
the frog's a big problem though.
very big problem.
sniffs.

being in limbo makes me feel very unmotivated.
im excited to start thinking for the new job
but im still here at st. francis.
i know i ought to be focused while im still here;
its still where i am to serve God before He moves me over to MX.

i'll be prayerful! :)
prayer is the answer to every problem
because my God has all the answers.
haha. :D

anyways,
date with my lovely boyfriend today! :D
it feels like a long time since i've spent time with him sniffs.
*bounces excitedly on seat*
wahaha. :D

okays digging in! :D

its been long eys.

18 months to be (somewhat) exact.
wahaha.

About time to try again. :)

We'll see how long this lasts.

---

Taking a break from work now. :)

I'll be moving along to greener pastures come december.
No more rife and strife and whispering behind closed doors.
Boss doesnt really count as a colleague,
so I'll pretty much be working by myself.
haha.

doesnt sound like it
but im actually pretty excited to start with The New Job.

there are some worries too of course,
especially with the 82937289 items listed under my job description.
but God is so good to me
by making it very clear
that this is where He's been preparing for me to go
so even with all the worries,
and slightly lower benefits,
there really wasnt any hesitation in accepting the offer.
Nowhere's better than where God wants me to be.

This brings to mind a lovely song with lovely words;

Bring me joy, bring me peace
Bring the chance to be free
Bring me anything that brings You glory
And I know there'll be days
When this life brings me pain
But if that's what it takes to praise You
Jesus, bring the rain


God has been exceedingly good to me this year
(not that He hasnt been good to me the last!)
and it is this grace that reminds me
to be the same to the others
even in times of frustration,
anger,
or sadness.

I think im slowly learning to commit my all to God.
Its a long lesson to learn; been at it since like 5 years ago.
See how patient my God is.
Thats another lesson for me altogether.

anyways,
back to the job change.

I've got my resignation letter typed and printed
since 14th Oct 2009
but its now still hidden away in my top drawer
looking all new and clean.

Its not easy to leave this place.

Mr. Andrew called me in the other day
and said
Its not going to be easy finding someone to replace me
so he'll be putting in an ad for it soon
but in any time, if i should change my mind,
this job will always be mine.

the tears were just pushing against all my strength then.

It really
isnt easy
to leave this place
at all.
