I met Elim for dinner yesterday and as again I had to make her wait for me cause I was supposed to wait for her to come to city hall and decided to stay back in the office for some work but at the last minute, NETS had some orders for us and I had to prepare the contract for Alicia as she was rushing off. After I completed the contract, I quickly made my way down to city hall to meet Elim. We initially planned to eat at
Ven and Viv came over for lunch today. Well its good to see them again after they left the company and they are doing fine having a break and all. Well, work is fine just that sometimes it sucks to be not doing well especially if one just get a raise and there is no sales on board and there are not many temp orders around too. But I am doing my best and giving my best shot at it.
I have decided to go for the bible study leaders boot camp after much consideration. Well initially I did not want to go since sales is so bad for the month of May but then again this is the first time SF is going to have this training for BS leaders and it is a good experience for a lifetime and there is really going to be a great speaker. Well I can just go for this and then pray hard and at the same time work hard for my sales.
At times I really dunno what I want or what my feelings are like. Rationally I know that it cannot happen and that I should give it up but seeing you really lift up my spirits………….
On Monday, I went to SYFC to help Sum in his rock climbing event. Well it was an experience seeing rock climbing up close and I think that it is quite interesting. Hope that I get to try it one day. It really requires technique and also strength. My job there on that day is to arrange some benches and tables and also as the timer for the speed climbing. Some of them are real fast and the lowest timing is like 6 sec. It is really madness for them to climb so quickly.
After the event, I went to the hospital to visit 3rd Aunt who is in a critical condition. When I was there, it was like seeing my family members but I cannot recognize any of them because we have not been seeing each other for almost a decade. Anyway when a person is in such a critical condition, all past transgression should be forgotten and we are family after all. Anyway 3rd Aunt is in a coma and hopefully she gets better.
Feeling a bit sick today. Think it’s the flu. Going to take some tablets and sleep early…..
Looks like I am really very lazy to update often and it is down to once or twice a week for an entry. For this week, on Monday it was officially the last day for our contract and gosh time flies and we have been here for 6 months already.
On Monday, Gina treated B2 and as usual me to dinner for her birthday. Nathan and I shared a present for her about being a godly woman and what a woman should know about man. Andrew said it was good for her.
On Tuesday, we cut the cake in the office just before lunch and we had a rush lunch and the fish soup that I got taste real bad. It was tasteless but luckily the fish tasted ok.
On Wednesday, Ven got a one day receptionist job by Jann and she came over for lunch with us. It was raining super heavily and I took the umbrella to her and brought her back and on the way I went to get my lunch from BK since they forgot about my order. That day, I had only like 3 mins to finish my whole meal and well I managed to do it.
On Thursday, I was supposed to meet Elim whom I have not seen for 10 years since we sat beside each other during primary school but she could not cancel her tuition so we set another date which is like 27 May. We sounded like super busy people. Lolz. We must have lots to talk about considering that it is 10 yrs of update. Oh man I can’t wait for 27th to come.
On Friday all the temps of 6 batt both old and new except Ian went to have Jap food for Vivian’s and
On Saturday, it was the guys temp outing for shopping. Well it turns out that I was the only one really shopping but they really gave me a lot of advice. Especially Nathan, Viv and Evon. Shaun, Nathan and I went to watch Made of Honor and it was a good movie just that it was a tat too romantic and makes it quite gay for 3 guys to watch it together. After the movie, we went to collect my stuff and Nathan got a pair of brown shoes for like 119. We ended off with a chill out session outside NAC and well downloaded quite a updated patch. Lolz. We left at around 11 20 and headed for home.
Last Friday was super busy for me as I was rushing here and there, signing contacts, finding invoices, doing pay slips and finding people for orders. When I was done with all my work, it was like 6 and I had to rush off to buy dinner for Mother’s Day celebration. We had Wu Xiang, Satay and Chee Chong Fun for dinner that day and I think I bought a little too much but still managed to finish it all up.
Woke up at around
When I reached there, I met up with Ven first and then Shaun before going to get the tickets and we pass out time in the arcade while waiting for the rest to come. I played Time Crisis 2 and died in the stage 2 boss and got trashed by Ven in the Hyper Bish Bash Champ. We made our way to Ikea and on the way to take the bus, we managed to catch the shuttle bus and took the free ride to Ikea. We had the famed meatballs, chicken wings and I had Spaghetti too. Before we left, I had a hotdog bun while the rest had ice cream. The meat balls very really good and it is the kind where you can eat a lot and not feel sianz. The cheese was superb and together it was yum yum. It was interesting seeing Ven eat the chicken wings as she just refused to use both hands and she had trouble separating the wing from the drumstick and it was amusing to see her struggling with it and finally she used a serviette to hold one side and to tear it apart. After the meal, we went over to TM for our movie and we walked to the opposite side which was wrong all thanks to Evon and we walked back again to squeeze onto the crowded 27 to go back to Tampines.
We caught What Happens in Vegas and it was a great show and I strongly recommend it to everyone. It was super funny and I really had a good laugh and the ending was good when they fell in love with each other after trying to piss each other off and the quote from the movie I can recall goes like I would rather not do anything then do something that I would be miserable doing. After the movie, I told everyone not to go off cause there was an end scene and I guess the group in front of us heard us and stayed too and Shaun was like if there is no scene WE can all beat Norman up and so we waited and waited and they were all doubting me and well there was a last scene and after that we left.
After the movie, we went to Blk 201 to have prata for supper where we had a chat over prata and some drinks. Well the prata was ok only not as good as they claim it was. After the supper, we walked Ven to her house before going to take 39 back. When I reached Yishun, the last 850 had left and so I took the train back to Sembawang.
First day in YA service today and well the people there welcome us warmly and YA really had very little people and it was quite dead as compared to SF. Well it was time for us to move on as we grow older. Went swimming after church and well it was good and I managed 30 laps this time but think I need to work on the technique a bit. Lly and I registered for the Singapore Bay Run and we had dinner before heading off for our house.
Not sure when and how it started
My love for you was ignited
Want to be there when you cry
Share your joy when you fly
When I describe all these to you
Your answer pains me a great deal
“I’m really nice” you say
“But just a friend”
And so, started
The drifting trend
Chorus:
I turned to Jesus
And He understood
The highs and lows
Of every single mood
And I still hope We aren’t so far apart
But more than that
(more than that)
Jesus in your heart
An emotional day for all the temps as 6 batt as it is
After work yesterday, I went to get
Today the day ended with some phototaking, farewells, hugs and wishing
Today is a special day for Albert and Elena as they become one to spend the rest of their lives together. The wedding is held at our church and I reached a little early but some people were already there and I chat with Danny while waiting for the ceremony to start. It started off with Elena walking in and all eyes were on the beautiful bride, followed by praise and worship lead by Roger and a exaltation by Uncle Jit Meng. After which was the Holy Matrimony presided over by Pastor Joshua, followed by the exchanging of rings and kissing of the bride by the groom.
The best part of the program was the skit put up by Sfers about how they got to know each other, how the courtship started and how Albert proposed to her. It was a little funny and the acting was great.
After the phototaking, the guests proceed down for some refreshments and the logistics people stayed behind to help arrange the chairs for tomorrow’s thanksgiving. There were lots of chairs to arrange and after finishing everything, I was perspiring and after that I went back.
Going to Ah Boy’s 2nd child 1 month old celebration tomorrow and after that swimming with Liang Ying and maybe watching Ironman.
Finally today I do not have to wake up early for the morning job but then again it is a great loss of income for me and that was really good money for just an hour earlier each day. I went over to HSBC to get my timesheet signed and after which went over to my office to meet Chen Ya for the contract signing.
Busy day today and most people are on leave too. In banking 1, only Doreen is left and well it is certainly taxing for her to liaise with 3 different set of clients. On the bright side, I got to use a computer all by myself and it certainly makes my job easier to check my mails though not much and to do some timesheet jobs for Alicia and Elaine. I just realized that I got a whole stack of resumes from dunno since when to call and I guess most would have probably got a job by now but on the bright side they may just end an assignment and is now looking for a job and now armed with experience.
Today was a great fury of activities as usual with the month end timesheet collecting and calculating day and also there are many job orders today too. So it is a busy rush to collect faxes, collect timesheets, calculate them, print cover letters for them and to get the bill and pay rate and also to hear out for job orders and attach them.
After a busy day it is time to chill out at K Box for Banking 3’s division dinner. Apparently we had some cash prize for good sales and they decided to celebrate at K box. This is my second time there and the buffet dinner was good and I did not really eat much and we really had lots of fun singing and I get to see the wild side of Banking 3 people. Sarah was pretty much quiet and guess she was not used to us yet but it is only a matter of time before she becomes one of us. Lolz. I sang some real old English and Hokkien songs and well they sure were surprised and well wonder what they going to spread about me on Monday. Just have to wait and see.
May Day today and it is a public holiday which means lose one day of income. I hate to be paid by the day. Anyway work has not been very productive these few days and not much temp orders to fill too. So far I managed to fill 2.0 but also got 1.0 of CRO too. What a week, and Monday I stayed behind to wait for one but end up did not turn up to sign and did not even bother to call and inform. COWARDS. I got a new seat which is where Bernice used to sit and now I am the ‘team leader’ of corp sec. LOLZ!!! I got a bigger place and also more place to put my stuff. Heard news of a computer going to be placed there. Hope it really comes true.
Spend my day today helping Shu Wen and Jing Wen with the moving of their rooms. Initially I thought it was going to be easy but they got lots and lots of stuff and we spend like 5 hours with 6 people to clear out the room and move the stuff to their house. They have pretty much everything and anything you can think of and they can well survive without going back home at all. After moving everything out of the hall, I went back with them to their house to move up all the stuff and after that they gave me a lift back home.
Starting to feel the tiredness now. One more day to go and the weekends are here.
