Wow

blogger has a totally new user interface now.
hmm not really bothered to explore since i'm only doing
simple blogging.
oh wells.
so sch has officially started.
week 1 is over.
no more bumming around jasmin!
its high time to get cracking with your work.
you want your gpa 3 right! *wink wink*
hmm okay a lot of random thoughts running through my
mind now.

i'll attempt to rant it all out coherently.
today i took my sermon using my S3 note app.
i decided to do sermon taking today cos i
could feel myself not concentrating during worship already
blame it on whatsapp.
i saw all my ftb peeps mugging and what did i do ystd?
RETAIL THERAPY -.-
it was dressabelle's private event and lewei
gladly invited me with her.
she could only bring one friend along as the shop space
was pretty small.
got 2 extremely worthy buys! :)
thank God!
okay back to my sermon note taking.
today's sermon was preached by Ps Jean on the topic
of Worship.
in a nutshell, We worship God for who He is and
praise Him for the blessings He has given us.
We can worship Him everywhere and anytime because
He is simply omnipresence.
attempted to text jinfay the entire sermon but failed.
so i whatsapp-ed her bro instead.
she'll be back on 2September. time flies!
one more week left.

my sister is currently watching the national day rally
CHONG HUI XIAN was mentioned in the rally earlier on!
NGEE ANN ROCKS MAN!
and now she is doing an exchange at an university
at sweden.
she just set an ideal role model to all ITE students.
I hope this will help to get them motivated.
personally, i really felt that what lacks in them is
just sheer motivation.

my 3 months summer holiday was spent v fruitfully.
FTB and starring.
OH how i love SMU :)
i SMU(smoo) you :)

Gratitude

I've a paper at 5pm and

its pouring heavily outside my house now.

somehow, i feel that there's something

very comforting about rain.

like it helps to relieve the heavy heart within me.

ha must be cos of the exams! screw exams! :{>

i hope it stops when i hafta step out of my house.

poly has started their new academic year once again

and i cant never emphasize that......

i really miss that 3 years man.

having said that, becos every poly graduate

hoping to wear the extra accessory aka mortar,

its sad to see that people mugging their heads off

during their free-time or lunch breaks.

not to say that i wasn't like one of them once.

even if i could turn back the clock back to 4 years ago,

i would still have done the same thing.

though dubbed as the paper chase in singapore,

the prestige and reputation that is attached along

with it, is just too tempting.

though i clearly know when all of us start going

out to the working world, after the first job, grades

actually dont really matter.

with the rain pouring so heavily now,

comes the nostalgic-ness.

SIGHHHHHHHHHH.

but i believe in something heavenly now.

Time flies man.

I'm almost done with my first year.

actually...

i cant wait to get myself out of smu.

though i know working life is probably

gna get much dreadful than what i

am currently experiencing now.

the fact that im completely burnt out

just goes to show that too much was put

in when i was in poly.

honestly, i missed my poly life so damn much.

seriously man.

uni life is just all about the mugging

no wonder smu is renowed for its smugging culture.

oh wells, for now, at least the thing i could look

forward to is 23 april 2012.

liberation, i've been wanting you since forever.

I think all the self-imposed stress is starting

to make me feel that I'm losing myself.

Wow. im so surprised that vivien still visit this space of mine

(YES VIVIEN I KNOW YOU'RE READING THIS)

I can't believe I hadn't touched this space of mine for close to a year.

November 2010,I was just about3 months into

my internship.

oh how i missed those days.

i feel that humans are pretty contradictory beings.

when you're working, you feel like studying.

when you're studying, you feel like working.

a lot of events unfolded in the course of past 9 months.

the most significant event being my entry to SMU.

my journey in getting a place in uni,was an arduous one

and the only earthly being who rahrah-ed me through

was kar voon.

from the crafting of appeals to the preparation of interviews.

now i know who else to go to, IF i have to prepare for interviews.

ITS NONE OTHER THAN VIVIEN.

she spotted on my NUS interview qns!!!! (HAHA!)

& deep down in my heart, i knew that the one who gave me

THE PLACE in smu, was God.

don't ask me why.

if not for Him, I would be nothing, really.

Sch started on 15 Aug.

It's been a hectic 7 weeks.

no joke. Probably, hectic is an understatement.

Uni is a no joke place.

putting hard work is imperative.

the whole intensive mugging culture just made me

very sian to the max.

after all, you can't blame me.

I had spent the past 14 years of my life in education

& I am no super woman to be able to sustain the

stamina.

well, hopefully it will sustain me for 4 more

years and I believe God will bring me through,

once again, like how He did for my poly studies.

The past one week was uber draining.

mid terms&presentations&deadlines&assignments.

I.NEED.A.BREATHER.

Thank God for the strength & the divine wisdom.

hmms, next week is my recess week.

Thank God for it. cause i will have extra time to concentrate

on my projects and study my stats(*whinesBIGTIME*)

the next 3 years, God, its all Yours.

I woke up the next day feeling so encouraged yet so desperate to seek God. I sat down with my bible and my diary and edwj and I was asking God to show me what He wanted to show me as I really wanted to know.
I was showed a departmental store in a shopping centre. The sales promoter was trying to sell her product to the customers. In this job, she will meet 3 different kinds of people. The first kind of people just shove her aside when she tries to promote the product to them. The second kind of people stop to listen, but they ask for many things: free samples, demonstrations etc. The Last kind of people just buy according to what you tell them.
In our christian life, God is the departmental store and we are His promoters to promote His love, to tell people about His love. We meet people who totally reject us when we tried to share God’s love to them. We meet people who stop to listen to us, but they want testimonies and then consider if they want to believe in God. The last kind of people simply just buy what we say and accept Christ.
Even though we might face persecutions in future, the people will soon come to realise that the product is good and everasting, and that is God’s everlasting love:)

I love reading fellow sisters' blogs because

sometimes it saves me the trouble of translating

my thoughts to words.

As christmas approaches, I'm excited.

Lets see who i can successfully invite this year.

This week is my second week of intern
at Grant Thornton.
Currently helping out in the accounts dept
since audit season has yet started.

I just had lunch 1 hour again
and my eyelids are droopingggggg.
its raining heavily outside.
this is such a nice weather to sleep in.

tmr is my D-day.
trying not to have any expectations though.

I've finished keying in the vendors for FKT.
now im doing KCK section.
after that, may have a chance to do entries.
like those A/r,A/P and G/L
sorry for the technical terms/lingo.
cant wait to do that.

inside this dept, i can only listen to typing sounds
and the sometimes,the voices of certain people
talking on the phone.
wells, thats how acctg dept shld be.

then at the audit dept, it looks like a
paper recycling plant.
working papers everywhere.
becos of the rows and rows of long
tables,it kinda looked like a factory production.
just that,it's a tad bit noiser than accts
dept cos each team member has to
communicate one another.

I was at the audit dept last week and
I eavesdropped on their conversation.
HA it was deja vu.
whatever that i previously learnt from the lect
came alive!
its v interesting though i know its rude to
listen to their conversation.

alright. im gna quickly finish keying in
my vendor and quickly get to the gist! :)

INTERNSHIP FTW! *Roll eyes*

such a chore,seriously?

of both worlds.
I want to pay below $100 for an android phone.
A GOOD ONE.
after contemplating on HTC legend,samsung wave,
galaxy 3,
I finally got a HTC WILDFIREEEE :O

I called singtel and found out that I just need to
pay $98 if i were to re-contract.
then i thick skinned further to ask for vouchers
and apparently there's this $50 e-voucher in my
account.
technically,i paid $48 for a wildfire.
THE BEST THING WAS.................................
i also asked singtel whether there are any
stock for wildfire in red
but it was sold out islandwide.
AWWWWWWWW D:
i really pulled a loooooooonnggg face to
myself cos wildfire in red is really
pretty.
okay bo bian. take white lor.
so i went down to bugis hello! &
I asked again & & &
THEY SAID YES.

which means the last one left is an opened
one,meant for everyone to touch & feel.

1oct,D-DAY.
OH MAN D:
give me a nice children's day gift.

just ystd,
my cell group was helping out with the
lantern festival right below my void deck.
I was just looking around and a girl come
running to me, sulking and tearing.
Later i learnt that she wanted a balloon
and I gave her one that was supposedly
put as a decoration on the wall.
I passed it to her little hand and she
gave me a toothless smile.
A thought came to my mind:
if only we continue to have that child-like
contentment and innocence while growing up.
this place would be a better place :)
