january ended with a great class outing at Minds Cafe. It's the gathering before the guys have to slowly enter NS one by one... daryl and yonglit just went in last fri and thurs respectively. yepp.
anyway, so i've started work at Times Publishing Group, under Panpac Education. well, if you're wondering what i do there, its basically a temp assistant editor. The editors there will pass me random projects to do with deadlines to meet of course. Just finished some ppt slides and typing in a maths paper solutions, doing the checking and stuff. After completing this, got to do some sci txtbook thingy for pakistani kids. yep...overall, it's quite interesting but the only downside is having to stare at the comp the entire day.
I'm quite glad that I didnt enter the company all alone! I got to know Serena who was from AC and dear stacey's classmate too! Her mum's actually the person I was supposed to report to. haha...what a small world...but she was only working till last thurs coz she's getting the SAF scholarship and needs to go BMT and OCS. She left for them on sat!! but again, thank GOD i made a friend with this new perm girl, Jessica. She's 21/22 this yr? yea, I pray it'll be a providential relationship. =D so I've been lunching with her, Irene(serena's mum), Helen, Lyana(a perm staff who's 24yrsold but looks so young at first impression, but not so after that. haha..)
I do hope I spend my time there well... dont want to regret missing out on what Matthew(recruitexpress) was going to offer me when he finally called again last tues. By then, I was already in this job. I don't want to regret the sudden call from peps asking if I could relief teach today/for some time? Was God calling me to this job such that all the other stuff I was waiting for only came back to me after I accepted this? or hmmm....

Love Actually... planning is very stressful. Different problems kept erupting and surfaced, one after another. Setting up the dates for pracs & what songs to prac took like forever. Plus accapella prac is so lacking, I had times that I just want to give up on having it at all... But each time, God seems to say that it's a part of a journey if I want to grow in faith. Taking up this planning and organising is really a personal ministry. Then he puts me through pivotal circumstances such as these to grow me further. The people around me, I have opportunities of building providential relationships. These are really piling up on me, shouting, screaming at me not to give up just like it. Moses had to keep going to Pharoah to let the Israelites go and he still went. He didnt tell God he wanted to stop or doubt whether God was ever going to soften Pharoah's heart. God showed him that the purpose of all the wait was so His glory can be shown even far more greater than ever.
Pray big, bold prayers. yes I will and trust in the Lord for HIS plans to go well, not mine.
