I will sleep early too. Poor body.

I had tiring day. Memorable moments :)

*smile*

I am human too - I can't expect everyone to like me - i will be better :)

night, sunday!

saturday afternoon!

typical Saturday afternoon!

Attempted the Accounting Quiz online: not bad for me. Scored 11 out of 12. I think I screw up the question on Depreciation. Anyway, overall the questions are tricky. Found out some careless mistakes after checking the second time. I hate theory part!

Before that, was meeting Ben for doing some research on our Business Plan! So nice of him fetching me and sending me home! Nice to know his gf too, Nat.

Found out one thing: Ben does not have sense of direction! Haha! Anyway, quite confident for our Business Plan after seeing the video shown by Ben.

This is University life. I like it. It's competitive and challenging. I am going to rock it!

Talking about last night, I spent like $100++ in Bugis! Meeting up with John and Andy and dropped by at Tcc Bugis to visit Sandy. Missed her so much! Bought: Bag, Bermudas, T-shirt, and Jacket. Anyway as long as I felt happy, I do not care that much anymore. ( I am damn stressed anyway!)

Found out: Shopping therapy is cool! I love it! Eye-washing session with John is kinda enjoyable!

Loves.

I'll be back soon, I think.

Loves.

Happy Birthday, Love.

Happy Birthday!

Sleep more please!

I seriously think that I need to sleep more, so I really need to cut down my time for online! Must try to catch at least 7 hours of sleep everyday. Like yesterday, I felt so energetic. I find myself having sleep-deprived. No wonder I always fall asleep whenever I sit down for long time. I need to pay back my sleeping time to my body. Gotta bear with it. Better not torturing myself anymore.

I cut myself while working, so careless, minor injury though. I felt bad now, I think I spoilt the microwave at work. I accidentally over cooked my soup and it wet the microwave. Poor thing. But I am a good boy. I admitted my mistake to area manager. No punishment at the moment. Better not.

Thinking back, I was so lucky and blessed. I overslept abit and missed my first bus at 5.40am. I waited till 5.55am for the next one. The weather was nice, cool and about to rain. Amazingly I was not late. I reached only 5 mins later than my usual timing. Blessed. (Amen!) Furthermore, I managed to catch some sleep on the bus. Yay. Happy boy.

I was happy today with no reason. The power of being loved by God, I think. Haha. (not again.)

I went to ICA after work. Queued up for submission of my documents. I thought I have brought sufficient document but I was wrong. Haha, declared that I lost and misplaced certain documents but should be okay. The officer was super nice and helpful. She is Lucy Loo. I commented her service in a feedback form. Encouraging her! I met so many kind soul recently. I am blessed! (Amen!)

I was talking to this filipino lady while queueing up for photocopy. In the end I realised she is my subway manager's friend. What a small world. Haha. The photocopy auntie was so nice to me also. Chatting while photocopying. Blessed again! Haha.

Yes, I got my so called temporary employment pass. Anyway, I will be getting my PR within 3 months. Celebration!! Haha finally yah..

Went to the gym after that and had a nice dinner and went home...

Sleepy leh...

oh, I will start working in Sembcorp as accounts executive next tuesday. Every weekday office hours with a satisfying monthly pay. Subway will be every saturday morning and Starbucks will be every saturday night and Sunday is my church day. My holiday? Sunday evening left. OMG.

I shall not complain anymore, I am always blessed and loved, by God.

I am unconditionally LOVED!

Life is amazing and great.

I have accepted myself. I should not feel emo anymore, it's bad. I have been wanting a life like others, who can hang out with their friends everyday, having a life partner, driving cars, and more.. all along I have been envious of those people. I just realised that I am very childish. I am who I am. I should not feel emo and bad anymore.

"The LORD is with you, O valiant warrior." - Judges 6:12 NASB

I have been reading this book, "Daily Readings from Your Best Life Now - Joel Osteen" . This book was given by Asher (my church mate who took me as his son!) to read. This is a GREAT book. Just need to read a short chapter everyday, it has 90 days readings so I took my own sweet time to ponder every single lesson inside.

This feeling can not be described by words. I felt so amazing by every single thing that has happened to me after I accepted Jesus. I am not intending to promote my faith here. I just want to share my personal life experiences. =) don't get scared okay?

Like yesterday:

- I was working at 8am. I just reached my store and this lady approached me asking for direction. She asked me whether there is any photocopy shop nearby. The nearest one will only open at 11am, which is 3 hours later. She looked nervous. I asked her what happened as she looked abit upset. She told me that she needed to photocopy some certs for her interview in a while. I was shocked. This happened to me before as well!

It was when I attended the Sembcorp scholarship interview for the first time. I forgot to photocopy the certs and was very frustrated. Lucky an older lady from HR Dept offered me a help. She was very friendly and she gave me her staff ID and password without hesitating, she asked me to do it myself as she was not familiar with the machine. Thanks to her, I successfully overcome this incident. I will be working with her soon this month, I look forward to seeing her again in the company.

Back to it, I immediately asked the lady to take out all the certs that she needed. I brought all the documents into the store and photocopied them for her. If my manager know this, she will kill me bah! Haha! I don't care! I was helped before and this is a chance from God for me to help others. I felt very happy. I wished her all the best for her interview and she looked so happy and relieved. I prayed that she can get the job that she wanted. Amen!

- After work, I went to ICA to check out for my application for PR. I am glad that the lady on the phone was very friendly and helpful, explaining the procedure in a very detail manner. (Amen!) She advised me to go to the office personally to check, as I lost my invitation letter from ICA. She told me it may take several days! (Sian...)

Another good incident, I reached the office safely (I was not sure how to go from my work place!) and the lady at the counter although looked fierce but she was very friendly to me as well! She immediately issued me the duplicate letter, I didn't need to wait for several days! (Amen!) She then explained to me again in a very detailed manner. I was so happy for their services.

- I needed to rush to return my graduation robe at Serangoon after that. Lucky there is a bus from where I was to Boon Keng station. The bus just reached the bus stop so I didn't wait for a long time! (Amen!) I alighted at Boon Keng station bus stop and I couldn't find the place nearby. Lucky there was an auntie waiting for her bus. I asked her for direction. I can't believe it, she knew where it is and she was going to take the same bus with me. She shared with me that this studio was the studio where she took her wedding photo. So coincidence right! I thanked her and waved her goodbye. What a sweet and kind auntie. (Amen!)

- After returning the robe, I stepped out from the studio, my bus reached. I was shocked again (So fast?? again?) And I went to the gym. I visited Starbucks after gym. I saw my dear Suhada and she treated me drinks and a sandwich. (Amen!) I was so happy.

- Met a friend for movie at Bugis Iluma. He was late! But lucky we managed to get in on time. Just a few seconds and the movie started. Lucky! (Amen!) Terminator Salvation was superb. I love it. He treated me dinner at"Aj's Piri Piri Chicken Fast Food" (what a name!) Lucky again, they told us we are their last order as they were going to close (it was 10 pm already!)... Phew..

I enjoyed my Monday. =) God loves me too much =)

And today, God is signalling me to take a good rest. I am having a flu again. Not swine flu hopefully. Haha. I persuaded Zen to buy iTouch! Went to the gym after that. I watched the sunset from the swimming pool. It was so enjoyable. So relaxing just like a rich man. =)

I was emoing and almost teared. Miss June suddenly called me when my tear was coming out soon. God did not want me to cry. I knew that. I somehow could feel that. I was so silly. God loves me. I took out my book and read one chapter. I got my answer in this chapter. Amazing. I have answered the questions that have been pestering me these few days. I looked up the sky and thanked God Jesus.

My answer:

"His love for you is based on what you are, not on what you do..."

God has forgiven me. And I vowed to start anew.

Gifts from God.

I have received gifts from God. A reward for myself being hardworking (maybe!). This is only a beginning. The real challenges have yet to come.

Gift 1 - SembCorp Scholarship

This is the best gift ever in my life. I had to go through 3 rounds of tough interviews in order to be selected to be one of the scholars. I believe this is definitely the greatest gift ever from God. Why? Because amazing things happened and I still can't believe myself that I made it.

Round 1 - 65 people were shortlisted based on academic results. Most of them were graduated from Junior College, the rest are from polytechnic. Most of them I believe were from engineering courses like built environmental, chemical, civil, and mechanical engineering. I went to the first round interview with a relaxing attitude.

What happened:

- I forgot to photostate the supporting documents and ended up asking for a staff's help.

- I was told off not to wear sneakers for my interview (Nike Shoes)

- I was also told to iron my tie before hand (Messy Tie)

- I mumbled and was asked to speak louder

- I answered the questions given with hesitation (erh, erh, and more erh...)

But, I made it to the Round 2.

Round 2 - Only 18 people were selected. Only around 4 people were from business courses. It was a whole day event. Started with self introduction and topic discussion with Human Resource people. There was a tour to Jurong Island as well as interactive session with previous scholars. I did quite short and okay for my self introduction. I only managed to talk for 5 minutes out of 30 minutes topic discussion session, because I needed to go back to school for ceremony stuffs. I left very early so I missed the tour and also the interactive session.

But, I made it to the Round 3.

Round 3 - 8 people were selected for this final round. They never specified how many scholars they are going to choose this year. As long as there is anyone potential, they will consider him. I was advised by Kath (the officer) to be more professional. She knew I look not so serious that day (as always...). There were around 8 or 9 people forming an interview panel in the room. All were from top management fo Sembcorp. I was very nervous and I was glad that they were quite friendly. We discussed about Accounting Standards and more.

And, I was selected. Only 4 scholars were chosen this year.

They are Iwan, SingWei, KumFai and XiaoChen. (3 engineers and 1 accountant)

Important Note: I started encouraging people or even my juniors to sign up an account in BrightSparks. This is how I get this scholarship. So what are you waiting? If you want it, come and get it!

Gift 2 - Accountancy Gold Medal

I wonder if this is real gold, so I can pawn it (LOL)

anyway my name is carved behind,

i feel so proud of this, my effort pays off.

Not forgetting, My Mom is my main motivation...

Gift 3 - Diploma with Merit

Finally I graduated...sigh..I miss SP

This is a gift from Bob Raigen

Bob Raigen is my best friend in Indonesia

I am so proud of him,

he never give up in pursuing his dream being a manga drawer

He made it

This is his manga in Indonesia

The first one

I believe he is preparing for the next one!

I plan to import this to Singapore

I will ask how he think about this.

Sharing about my day today.

I thank God for giving me strength to open my eyes today. I headed to meet my grandma and she cooked alot for me. I missed her cooking. And I sent my mom to taxi and I went to Starbucks. Cleared my report to Zun. Went to the gym for 3.5 hours. Can you imagine that?

One hour worked out. One hour slept under the sun. Half an hour swam at the top of the building. Half an hour bathed. Half an hour read 8days magazine with hot green tea in the gym. I felt like a rich man in the gym. The money paid for this gym is definitely worthy for me. For my health and to avoid my urge to shop during my free time. Fitness First Fusionopolis is marvellous.

Went to the EighteenChefs Cafe downstair with beloved Juni. They were having promotion. Student meal of only $5.50 includes Pasta, IceLemonTea and Ice Cream. I love it. You guys can visit them at Fusionopolis level B2. Their website is eighteenchefs.com.

Met John and Sandy at town. Ate dinner at Waroeng613. Walked around Plasa Sing. Drink Soyabean at Bugis. A nice and full day for me. I love God. I love everything happening to me.
