♥ 6:47 PM
It has been a long time since I have last updated and there is so much that I want to put into my blog but I hope I can have the patience to continue typing it and not give it up half way.
I am officially starting work with OCBC as a Technology Intern tomorrow and as of now it is a 6 week internship which pays not bad considering that it is a local bank. I am excited to start work and see how it is like to be doing Business IT in the Bank.
Another thing to be happy about is my results which I have just got back on Friday and well I am quite satisfied with it. I got 4.3 for this semester and managed to overall pull my CGPA up to 4.0. I am quite worried initially and now I am 2nd upper, its time to continue the hard work and maintain my GPA and also pull it up to 4.5. Impossible is nothing and I am the only one that is stopping myself from achieving it. JIA YOU.
Case training this Saturday was quite bad in my opinion. Although most of us had almost the same points and managed to grab the issues, but I feel that my group did not do well in presenting our ideas. Our points are everywhere and there is no structure which makes our case not convincing. We really need to work hard on it or rather I need to work on it too to even be considered to be in the coming competition team to Thailand. Next week is quantitative analysis and well its something that I am not very good in but nevertheless I will work hard and like what Daryl say force yourself to be good at it.
Just came back from church retreat today and although I did slept but I did not really sleep well and was quite tired so I took a nap while Liang Ying, his Mum, Mille and Chai, Dad and Mummy were outside playing Mahjong with Dad and mille watching. We are celebrating Dad's birthday today with mahjong and food from Sakae and Canadian Pizza.
I had the honor of working with Adrian for the games of the retreat and we are all very glad that it worked out well and everyone really had fun playing the games and there was really much fun, laughter and the last game was really cool where everyone was put to the task of building the tallest YA tower and it was great to see the whole YA working together to build a real decent structure which is very tall and almost reached the ceiling and it can also support a handphone which is really remarkable.
As for me, I am really glad to be there for my first YA retreat. I went to the retreat with a happy heart of just having received my results and also when my life is starting to be realign back to God and the messages in the retreat is really a repetition of things we all along knew but in the mist of our busy life have let them slip through our mind and it was a great wake up call and I can especially connect to it after my whole down and ups in my spiritual life. Really Thank God for the speaker and also for me to be able to attend the retreat right after my TCC. During sharing, I also had a group who are all very open and willing to share and it was great learning from each other and also Elder Stephen where he was a wealth of experience to share with us. My takeaway from the retreat is really the importance of discipleship and disciple making. But for me right now, I have to get myself right, have the heart of a disciple of Christ before I can make disciples.
Mouth's still a little numb and I hope I can still enjoy the good food later.
