the end of 11 weeks and 1 day

i'm thankful.
finally it's the end of my work attachment.
i had asked for a one week leave so that i could go for church camp.
and i thank God that it was approved smoothly.
God is indeed faithful to provide.
though some may wonder why and end up having to extend my attachment period to make up for the one week of leave.
i'm glad. even during my final week of work. i'm thankful for the joy within.

a short summary of what i've done in these 2.5 months.

achieved my own personal record of completing 8 tax computations in a day.
yippie.
i am amazed also.
by how that can ever be possible.
haha.


well. i had a box of stuff to clear up on my final day though.
haha.
i guess i took too much stuff to work on.
and end up being unable to finish through cos the clients didn't get back.
so well. i had fun waiting to clear backlogs.


saw a lot of interesting stuff too.
this is just one example.
as i was flipping through the documents.
some clients provided really outdated irrelevant documents.
and well though taxing.
i had fun digging through those stuff and keeping myself entertained by what i see.
i found that UOB got it's new name after september 1999!
hehe.

thank God for really nice fellow interns.
i truly enjoyed the company.
i enjoyed the lunches we had together.
though sometimes i just sat and watch them eat.
i enjoyed the fun we had.
indulging ourselves in really good food.
more so planning for the week of indulgence.
and really looking forward to it.
i'm thankful for the company to go all the way with me to peace centre there during their lunch break.
just to accompany me. cos i needed to print something for the rally publicity.
really nice to have met them and got to know them through this internship.
thanks yinjie and yongkang!
hehe.

the colleagues were nice too.
cho cho guiding me even though she was really busy.
vincent having to help me clear up the things that i've done.
sometimes the mistakes that i make.
resulting in him having to work on the review points again.
which werent easy.
agnes for being so straightforth in speech.
being a really nice and funny person to have around.
ice for giving me opportunities to try out what i've wanted to.
i was put in the accounts department.
but i mentioned i was interested in trying tax.
and she gave me loads of chances to do it.
which i'm really happy.
not that i'm a serious workaholic.
but i enjoyed doing tax more than accounts.
thanks for her guidance also.
having to answer my queries even though she has a lot of work at hand.

i'm thankful for the wonderful treats.
really undeserving.
vincent, ice, soolian, agnes, etc gave us a treat at riccotti.
we had fun going italian that day.
all the desserts.
like what agnes say.
that created wonderful memories.
pauchoo gave us a treat on my last day.
went to sushi bar.
so it was a japanese treat.
hehe.
having another treat by aikkuan coming up on friday.
going to swensen's.
hehe.

my pa company was.
a place with a cozy working environment.
i'm glad.
though not a company with loads of prospects to offer like those big accounting firms.
but it was a place that presented chances to learn.
it was a great experience in my opinion.
though the pay wasn't totally fantastic.
but i'm glad.
cos it isn't all that mattered.
i think i've been rewarded in many other ways.
God has faithfully blessed me i must say.
hehe.

shall enjoy my break before it's start of school.
i can't wait.
going to be a different semester.
well. still, there are things to look forward to.
come what may, i've got a great big God!

my very own food fest

shall update. since i havent done so in ages.

this week was the last week of the attachment for my 2 fellow interns.
because of the leave i took i can only finish mine on 30th.
and we decided to just indulge ourselves for lunch this week.
using our pay to spend a bit more on lunch just so that we can enjoy one week of lunch together.
we had it all planned since the week before.
in fact i had it drafted out.
ask me if you want to take a look at the mini post-it note i wrote with the days and the places we are going to have lunch at.
i'm amazed how a food lover i can be.
hehe.

shall let the pictures do the talking (as usual).
the pictures are better at telling you how nice are the food we had!


monday. a simple lunch at kopitiam @ my dining room.
that's the food court at the central.
following that. muddy mudpie at coffee club xpress!
woohoo.
spent 3.80 on my lunch.
4.10 for sharing the mudpie.
i indulged.


tuesday. lunch at pepper lunch.
had chicken pepper lunch set.
after that went to this classy shop.
pasley&cream. the shop looks really pretty.
with lovely cupcakes.
i ordered the cheesecake. yongkang got the bread pudding. yinjie got a double chocolate cupcake.
spent 9.50 on lunch.
4.60 on the nice cheesecake, which i think was a splendid deal.
again. i indulged.


decided to go some sort of all-american on wednesday.
went billy bombers and got ourselves take-away.
the ultra nice-smelling banana milkshake.
woolala. totally fabulous.
then went to chippy british take-away.
and sat down there to eat.
i got the beer battered fish with chips.
we shared the fried calamari, which was really nice!
spent 7 bucks on the wonderful milkshake (expensive but really good stuff).
banana-licious.
spent 6 bucks on the food. this lunch was a real splurge.
once again. i indulged.


thursday.
we decided to go a little lighter.
since the office had a birthday celebration later that day.
went to soup spoon at raffles city shopping centre.
got myself a regular boston clam chowder.
hehe.
nice stuff.
simple but nice.
spent 5.90 on what seemed healthier compared to all that i had eaten.
well. i indulged.


the finale of the week. friday.
what we had aimed since day 1 of attachment.
passed by this ricciotti italian restaurant on the first day after our lunch.
and decided that the pastry looks really good.
and we ought to celebrate the end of our attachment there.
so having eyed it for so long.
it was finally realised.
just take a look at the restaurant!
classy.
i love that wonderful display of italian pastry.
oolala. totally yummy-licious!


the totally awesome selection of pastry.
my favourite one - preziosa.
milk chocolate cream with aromatic currant coulis and soft macaron.
splendid.
next favourite. soffiato.
warm dark chocolate cake with chocolate-chip icecream.
the chocolate was oozing out of the cake when you dig in. woooo.
tried others too.
diplomatica - puff pastry and sponge cake layered with hazelnut custard and chocolate.
duomo - mascarpone and spicy cream with olive oil sugar dough.
tiramisu - mascarpone cheese cake with ladyfinger biscuits, coffee and cocoa.
crostata - fresh exotic fruit tarlet.
man i love this.
got a set lunch anyway.
came with pollo cacciatora (chicken leg braised with red wine and vegetables) with mashed potato. the pastry. and a cup of cappuccino.
supposed to spend 23.40 on this.
but the three of us got a treat from our fellow colleagues!
thanks! ^^

so all in all i spent 40.90 on eating lunch this week!
quite a spread.
and i'm so satisfied.
i had fun. taking pictures. eating with the 2 of them and with the other colleagues too!
hehe.

one more week to go.
actually. the wait to the end of the attachment isnt horrible.
i am thankful.
for such a wonderful time.
:)

the relentless pursuit

the pursuit began way before i was born.
every day of my life.
He carefully crafted it in His hand.
to turn it to the best for me in spite of the wrong choices i made without understanding His good and perfect will before i knew Him.
to provide me with the opportunities to come to know Him despite me missing the earlier ones He placed in my life.
He ran. He loved.
i'm glad that He never once gave up on me.
rebellious as i can be. He loved me.
nothing that i do can make Him love me more or love me less.
He is love.
when i thought all was gone when my earthly father was gone.
He provided a way. for me to know there's still Him - the Heavenly Father.
He was ever ready to shower me with blessings. with His love.
His love that makes me whole.
i can never thank Him enough.
except to pursue Him in return with all that i have.
that's the least i can ever offer.

the aim of the pursuit - to draw you and i back to Him.
what is displayed in the process.
the undying love of the Father.
the sheer determination to see that none shall perish.
the willingness to give up everything - even if it means dying on the cross - just for you and i.

He's just knocking at the door this very day.
can you hear?
will you open the door and let Him in?
why not put a stop to the stubborness and just open the door, run into His embrace?
He's waiting.
waiting for His beloved child to come back to Him.
i responded. how are you going to respond?

i'm still existent

hehe.
i got back from church camp on last friday.
but i was too busy to update my blog.

it was a really good camp.
took some photos but they are all on other people's camera.
shall post when i get them.
haha.

the air in genting was really fresh.
which makes it a really pleasant place for a time of renewal.
previously had been really drained but it was a really good camp to just gain back the strength and passion to move forward.

a lot of issues that God dealt with.
and i am glad.
i'm moving on.
fighting the negative emotions and thoughts.
so that my thoughts are pure and pleasing to Him.

amazed at how God used the guest speaker's lives to be an impact to so many people.
very encouraged.
a faith-building experience.

God moved mightily.
a handful of things revealed to me.
and i know that i've got to press in as God works in them.
shall look forward to breakthroughs in this year!
all things are possible for the Almighty God.
hehe.

a good learning experience also.
God presented the opportunity for me to grow and to give.
not only did i receive. but i learnt to give to during the camp.
in very small ways.
but i'm glad.
i wanna take up challenges that will spur me to grow stronger.
hehe.

practical things to apply too!
got to start doing a major clearance of my space at home.
shall work on clearing the clutter in my life.
and throw out whatever is obstructing!


came back and worked hard on the publicity website for the upcoming youth rally.
do visit the website and take a look!
click on CHASE!
hehe.
anyone interested to come.
let me know!
it's gonna be real fun.


work was alright.
finished one case on monday.
and was given a new one on monday itself.
which currently is quite a challenge cos there's insufficient information to get things done.

and a fellow colleague was straight-forth in speaking.
which i am thankful for.
once again, God revealed to me how prideful i can be.
she was commenting that i appear to be aggressive when in comes to work.
meaning i am rather ambitious without myself even realising sometimes.
true. i can be quite eager to prove myself. that i'm good enough or probably way better at getting the tasks given to me done.
she acknowledged that i'm capable. i think i think of myself as that way too subconsciously.
oops. hehe. that's where the pride lies.
and she said that i do show confidence because i know my stuff when i'm given the tasks.
but she warned me against showing too much confidence. she was saying that there's high possibility of attracting back-stabbers should i be out working full-time next time.
i do agree that the world is ugly in that sense.
probably i never really realised that arrogance that comes forth.
cos i really think that i know my stuff and i'm able to get things done at work rather efficiently.
but there's always that need for that awareness.
which i was told during the conversation today.
i've got a lot to learn.

my fellow keepers. please note. haha.
i can be prideful. which is a major hindrance in my journey.
will need to tear down this huge wall.
help me keep watch ya?
hehe.

very blessed.
and i know i still am going to be.
hehe.


i'm quite tired physically.
but still am sustained.
shall get as much rest as possible.

shall post some pictures soon!
jya matta ne!

adulthood

shall do a quick post before i go off.
i shall be away in awana genting for 5 days on my church camp.
God has blessed me with a week of leave so that i can find rest in His presence.
hallelujah!
hehe. though i've got to extend my work attachment to make up for it.
i'm more than glad for this break.
i've been so looking forward to it.

anyway.
it's been some time since i've updated.
and i've got loads to update.
yet not that much time to.

shall just blog about my birthday celebration.
which was the biggest thing recently.
turned 21st 2 days ago.
i'm into day 2 of being 21.
hehe.
held a celebration near my place and quite a handful of people turned up.
my mum invited her friends too.
so it was quite an affair.
haha.

anyway. pics of the people who turned up.
taken during the cake-cutting time.
well. almost all those who turned up.
some left earlier. so they arent in the pictures!
hehe.


how can a birthday celebration ever have the cake and birthday girl missing?
hehe.
i've been blessed with a swensen's 5 kg ice-cream cake.
macadamia nut cum cookies n cream flavour in it.
it's really nice.
i still have a portion of it left in my freezer but i guess i won't see it by the time i'm back.
hehe.
it's a really lovely looking cake!


my extended family.
my grandma, aunts, uncles and cousins.
haha.
quite a huge group of people.


not to forget my terrific family who started getting busy since at least a week ago to prepare for this celebration.
HUGE thanks to sis for getting all the things in place - food, cake, place, etc.
HUGE thanks also to mum for paying for the stuff. they are really ex. and for cooking wonderful delicious food to add on to the menu. despite the fact that her arm isnt very well and that she's tired from working. love you loads mum!
HUGE thanks to ying too!
BIG thanks to imran for helping me get my cake from swensen's and struggling with cutting the frozen cake. yes that's the problem with ice-cream cakes.


peishan and i.
hehe.
my friend since pri 1.
our 15.5 years of friendship to date.
hehe.
thanks girl for rushing down and missing fright night. hehe.


the 4f people.
tried to be funny with their stunts.
that was ultra predictable.
haha. the whacky bunch of people.


the 6a people.
intellects. the motivating bunch.
hehe.
thanks for coming. yes i repeated myself a lot of times that day.
haha. but yea i didnt manage to really go around talking to you people.
seriously. sorry for being a rather lousy host.
hehe.


u3 cell group.
well almost the full cell group.
my leader is elsewhere.
haha.
but yea. the really fun and supportive group of people in my second family!
hehe.


harvesterites.
almost all that came.
some left earlier.
too bad you all missed out the ice-cream cake!
hehe.


last BUT definitely not the least.
zncl2.
hehe.
the girls that are the best companions in school. in hall.
almost anytime anywhere.
haha.
thanks for rushing down. yet i didnt get to talk much to you all.
we should have our own outing really really soon.
hehe.

it was fun having a get-together.
and i'm glad to hear from self-proclaimed 'the best' teeseng that because of this the few of them got the chance to catch up in ages.
hehe. too bad i missed out what you people were talking about!
hehe.

of course.
i've been showered with loads of blessings.
with the gifts which i really don't deserve.
some of them are really exquisite.
generous people.
but seriously i dont really deserve all these expensive and lovely stuff.
hehe.


the must mention present from my lovely family cum imran.
nokia e65. (wishlist item #1 fulfilled!)
this really cost a bomb.
eeks.
sry. i think i asked for something really way too over the budget.
thanks my dearest family.


lovely flowers from my cell group.
my only bouqet for that day. (a bit of spelling error in the pic. i havent slept yet so pardon that silly mistake.)
hehe.
really really pretty!
and interesting.


and a lovely card the cell gave.
with this newspaper clipping thing that gloria made.
haha. thanks. i had a fun time reading it.
you people are just so creative.
haha.


yes and my supposedly "whencouplespray" book was magically transformed by daniel into this.
another gift from the cell.
shall find time to read this lovely book.


from my 2 lovely sisters.
an inspirational book according to christabel.
got to really read this too!


from my mentor/discipler.
thanks for walking me through ups and downs.
thanks for just being a wonderful listening ear.
and thanks for being a blessing!
i got a new pocket bible. in the version i want! hehe. please note that i didnt mention that i wanted NKJV in my wishlist. i just mentioned that i don't want NIV.
hehe. how nice that she got what i had wanted to have! hehe.
thanks thanks.


a few of them tricked me into opening this paper bag with only a packet drink inside.
and so i was explained that this paper bag is the bag that the few of them got for me.
how nice.
it probably can fit my big fat laptop.
haha.


the actual gift is a really nice bag!
woo. hehe.
another item on the wishlist.
i got quite a handful of bags.
so now i can mix and match!
haha.


a bag that i can use for school from some of the 4F people.
hehe.


teeseng wrote a 'letter' to just talk about how much effort he spent in shopping for the gift and wrapping it. and how much shuping didnt really do much even though she was sharing the present.
funny fellow.
yes you are 'the best'!


another bag that's really nice too!
hehe.


perfume from 3 ofthe 6a guys.
hehe. i havent tried sniffing to find out what it smells like.
but i suppose it should be nice.
haha.


for the people who know me well.
surely the only accessory to get me would be a watch!
hehe.
thanks. this is really pretty.


from joel.

another really really interesting bag.
hehe.
thanks! it's really nice.
and the wrapper is ultra nice!

my wishlist

hehe.
had been a really really tiring week.
don't think it's gonna really get much better the next few weeks.
hehe.
i'm tired.
so desperate for sleep.
hehe.

anyway.
it's less than 2 weeks to my birthday.
shall put up my wishlist.
well. kind of a wishlist.

there arent really much that i want.
a few of my friends were asking me what is it that i want as a present when they replied to my invitation to my birthday celebration.
yet i dont really know wat to tell them.
haha.

what i'm really in need of.

nokia e65

am in desperate need of a new phone with my current one going a bit crazy.
my current phone has indeed served me well.
haha.
just at the looks of it gives you an indication of how much it has been through.
well. the red silver nokia e65 looks really cool.
but it's expensive. i think.
hehe.

what i really dont mind having

ipod nano red

this is looks really cool and pretty.
i saw this picture on michelle's blog some time back.
haha.
looks really nice.
i havent got a replacement for my ipod shuffle that i destroyed long time back.
haha.

a new bible
i've got my pocket bible that i bring along with me.
i've got my life application study bible.
both are NIV ones.
i dont mind having a pocket bible that's of another version!
haha.

a winnie the pooh jigsaw puzzle nicely done and framed
haha.
i've always wanted to buy this and that whenever i step into jigsaw puzzle world.
but again. these stuff are really ex.
haha.
this will probably be a nice item to put in my room when we move house.

a laptop bag that can fit my acer aspire 5502wxmi
the bag that i have now is one that came along with the purchase of my laptop.
it's those that can contain everything. the adaptor.
quite a big thing.
i've seen people walking around with those laptop bag that can just put the laptop in nicely.
not for putting other stuff like mouse, adaptor, etc.
i want something that looks nice and special!

i don't mind more money!
i don't mind more Christian books to read. though i havent really finish what i have with me at hand.
i don't mind having more Christian songs to listen to.
i don't mind more clothes that can be easily matched for work.
i don't mind more shoes too. though i dont really like the idea of having a messier shoe rack.
i don't mind one more bag that's more suitable for work. haha. i hate growing older. you need to get stuff that are suitable when you transit into another stage in life. bleh.

other things that i want but not now.

a guitar
think i've been really out of practice.
not supposed to be that way since my teacher is my cell leader.
yet. haha. i've been really so out of practice.
given that i dont have a guitar to practice with.
and i've yet to get one.
i wanna get one.
but probably not so soon.
shall have to KIV it until after i move house.
so that i dont have more things to move over to.
and i wont have to worry about it being spoilt in the process of moving.
i wanna get my first guitar!

a nice bookshelf cum a nice study table
these are the few important things for my new room.
haha.
yes i'm quite an oddball.
but i think the bookshelf and study table is really what i want to be really neat and nice for my new room.
not that i'm that nerdy.
but i've always got ultra messy study tables at home.
and compared to my relatively MUCH neater table in hall.
the one in hall is more conducive for work.
haha.

other things that are practically impossible to ask of.
just wishes on my part.
haha.

good grades for this semester
expected results release date is 8th.
so it shall be a really pleasant gift if i've got good results.
looking forward to yet another improvement.
and a breakthrough.

a car
yes impossible when i've no licence to even talk of.
haha.
i've been having this thought.
having a car is really convenient.
probably cos i've been rushing here and there recently.
and i've been walking quite a bit and getting quite sick of it especially when i'm walking in heels.
but well. let me get my licence first then.

a trip to australia/japan/new zealand/nyc
i havent been to these places and i dont mind going on a trip to these places.
haha.
but the money comes as a rather big factor.
somehow i wanted a get-away starting some time back.
but these hols i havent got the chance to really have a time for this.
oh well.
i like to travel with enough money.
me and my lalaland dreams.

time
haha. have been rather packed to the brim in terms of time.
or maybe i just need to be more efficient.
sigh.
haha.
i want more time.
i wonder if it's possible to have 30 hours a day instead.

well.
i dont really have much in specific that i want.
but i do know a few things that i dont see a need for.
a few things that i really dont need to have more of already.
anyway.
just whatever is practical and useful.
i suppose i dont really mind them as gifts.
oops. haha. this sounds really thick skinned.

well.
those that i've invited to the celebration.
if you have yet to reply to confirm if you are coming.
and you are reading this.
please do let me know soon ok?
hehe.

shall learn to treasure my last few weeks of being a minor.
haha.

first week of work

the first week of attachment marked the end of my holidays.
bleh.
a short one week of holidays.

which i got to watch spiderman 3 with sis.
it's been ages since we caught a movie together.
though we only got to spend a short time together.
i'm happy.
thanks sis for the wonderful company.
let's have such things more often!
hehe.
i'm really trying to make time.

got to catch up with peishan also.
girl! send me the pics.
haha.
you and your procrastination.
tsk tsk.
haha.

went shopping with linda, chiewlin and junjie for formal wear in preparation for attachment too!
managed to find a good alternative to g2000.
i wanna shop more.
that is if i've got more money.
i need to get more clothes suitable for work.
haha.
i realised i cant wear my lovely disney t-shirts to work.
boo.

this week started off rather busy.
i havent got a day that i get to travel straight home after work!
so i'm rather worn out with the things that are taking up my evenings.
eeks.
i need better time management.

anyway.
just a bit about my week one at the company i'm working at as an intern for the next 9 or 10 weeks.
haha.
10 more weeks to go if my leave gets approved!


i'm working near clarke quay.
but sadly there isnt the view of the singapore river from where i sit in the office.
nobody in my office will ever get the view of the singapore river.
there goes the incentive i thought i might have.
haha.
but well.
it's a rather convenient place.
by the mrt i can reach my workplace within 25 minutes.
i havent tried taking the bus.
i heard from a colleague that stays rather near me that it takes about half an hour by bus.
not that bad.
since i've got like 4 buses to choose from?
hehe.
i'm thankful for all the convenience.
anyway. my fellow interns think i reach too early. haha.
i think so too.
the office door wasnt open for 4 out of 5 of the days by the time i reach the office.
haha.


my desk for the past 4 days.
today was a little different.
yes there are a lot a lot a lot of files in that office.
haha.
and i'm working in the accounts department at the moment.
so the files are in green.
the tax ones are in yellow i think.
orange are for those audit ones.
can't remember what the blue ones are for.
haha. but well. you get the idea. there are seriously loads and loads of file.
for once i think my study area at home isnt that messy afterall.
and on the desk. yes the calculator is extremely important!
haha.
i've been working on consolidating reports for the past few days.
and so i'm really getting more and more familiar with this particular accounting software.
haha. and i'm getting more and more familiar with the xerox in the office.
the colleagues are rather nice.
so i get to clarify things when i don't know.
honestly.
theory is very very different from reality.
haha.


a few signs to show that i'm integrating myself into the working population.
coffee!
man i was so so so tired having to wake up early and work 9.5 hours each day.
1 hour for lunch excluded.
i needed to get coffee on wednesday just to keep myself awake.
especially after lunch.
the sleepyness just sets in so unknowingly.
haha.
and meals! meals with colleagues. meals with fellow interns.
i'll slowly get to know the good makan places near my workplace.
hey people! jio me for lunch k if you're too free.
haha.

one other thing about work attachment.
i'm sick and tired of heels.
for 5 days a week i've got to wear heels to work.
partially cos i lack proper looking shoes that are more presentable for work.
and partially cos i wasnt exactly pampering my feet.
on monday i walked from my workplace in clarke quay area to millenia walk for meeting.
on tuesday i walked from my workplace to wheelock place for meeting.
i probably was being crazy.
think this is one of the other longer distance walk i've taken other than the walk home from bugis long time back.
this probably takes the 2nd place in terms of distance walked.
on wednesday i was nicer to my legs. i walked only to the bus stop to take a bus to gloria's place for cell. but i ran in my heels just to catch the bus.
on thursday i walked to bras basah complex after work to get some materials that i needed.
and i end up realising that practically any shop at bras basah close around 7 pm.
thank goodness that i didn't take too long to walk or else i'll probably end up fainting at the closed shutter.
today didn't really walk that much around in my heels.
oh well. learning to slowly pamper my feet.
haha.


on a side note. the walk from my workplace to wheelock place was indeed tiring.
but. i accidentally dropped my phone.
and it amazingly is working fine on the front screen once again.
see the previous post if you dont know wat's going on.
now i dont have to go to the mirror. turn my phone upside down and read off the reflection to tell the time.
i can just read it off the screen.
hehe.
my phone is odd.
it needs a hard knock to wake up its idea and work right again.
haha.
oh well. still i need something to replace it.
it's really disastrous already!

i'm stressed. due to the things at hand.
and time isn't exactly on my side.
but well, like what nic say.
one thing about being a child of God is that you can always trust God that His favour will be poured out to you when you ask of Him.
i know i'm blessed enough.
and i'm learning to count my blessings.
stressed. stretched. but not snapped!

had a rather heated argument with ying last night.
quite horrid one.
i am not feeling good about it.
partially i know though what she said didn't sound really pleasant.
but are things that i need to reflect on.
yet the fact that i flared up and reacted.
i think it's been some time since i really flared up this badly.
i wonder if it's cos i'm just too stressed.
or it's just really i feel unjustified.
i think i need to find that trigger point.
else i'll never learn to tame my temper.

and i'll probably be holding a 21st birthday celebration.
still need to plan.
argh.
and i'm a little lazy to go about doing it.
haha.
shall send out invites soon.
and shall come up with my wishlist when i really can think of what i want.
haha.

well.
next week is going to be another busy week.
i dont forsee anymore free evenings!
haha.
ganbatte zhien!
