Bits & Pieces

15 Nov (Thur)

I’ve thrown in the letter once again.

Not sure why this time round I can be so decisive about quitting my job.

Actually I’m quite surprise by my own decision too.

Guess I really need a proper break.

Maybe I’m not prep physically and mentally to face the new challenges.

And for sure.. this company is kinda “too happening’ for my liking.. I don’t want any more late nights! And I don’t want having to come back on weekends for events and duty.

But on the other hand.. it’s quite a pity cos there’s a lot to learn here.. and I must say this is a fun and exciting industry.. BUT… I need a life! =D

Hmmm.. some how I feel kinda sad to leave too.. cos people here are so nice to me. They are all very understanding towards my decision.. even though my departure would mean that they’ll have more work on top of their existing “excess baggage”. I was an additional headcount to share their load.. but now.. it’s back to square one for them!

I dunno why I feel so emotional about leaving… duo I’m just here for 2 months. I’ll miss them... ZH, GW, HM, NY & ST.

ST has been extremely kind and sweet since day 1. Just last week he helped me cover some impt stuff although he’s not my buddy. And that saved me from going back to office during children’s camp. I’ll miss the late dinners together… and the little treats that came over from the partition.

Hope in my next job.. I’ll have such nice colleagues too.


16 Nov (Fri)

Went to watch the musical “You’re Special” with church peeps.

Had a bad fall while going up the escalator… which left an ugly mark on my arm. =(

Hmmm… Realize my threshold for pain is actually quite high. Haha.

Went for supper then drinks at Inter-con after the musical. Has been a long time since we last hang out this way.


17 Nov (Sat)

Hate it when time is against me and I don’t have time to make sure everything is in place.

1 day before Children’s Camp and there’re still so many things I’ve not done yet!

Didn’t have time during weekdays cos have been working late everyday. I really feel that it’s not easy managing both work and serving at the same time.

Hmmm… Feel bad that eventually I need to involve some of them to help me out.

The combine cell group dinner was nice.

But…

Sometimes I thought to myself.. will I experience the same thing if I’m elsewhere?

Or becos me being ME.. that’s why such things happen?

But in any case…

Love is to protect… isn’t it?


18 – 20 Nov (Sun - Tues)

Children’s Camp.

It was really challenging having to manage those kids. Haha.. esp when u put a group of boys together.

But it has been an enriching process. From preparation to the actual camp.


21 – 23 Nov (Wed – Fri)

Back to work. Late nights all the way.

But wasn’t so bad cos got company.

One more week…


24 Nov (Sat)

My first and last time doing weekend duty. 12pm to 8pm.

Glad I don’t have to do this again.


25 Nov (Sun)

Overslept. Missed service again. *shake head*

But went for the jing lao fu yan lunch @ CSC followed by bowling.

And here I am surfing at Coffee Bean since 6 plus.. din feel like going home.

Hmmm… somehow I’m looking forward to work tomorrow.

Haha.. how ironical.

Yup.. time to go home le!

jus 1 more week left...

i'll miss the sweet souls around...

Back

Back from trip. Back to work.

Guess it's pay-back time. Have been away for 1 week plus and now got to rush lotsa stuff. Have been working late again. Hmmm... it's only my 3rd working week. =(

Just finished the 9-mth long Discipleship course yesterday.

Didn't think that I’ve put in a lot of effort this time round.. but guess it's a lesson of perseverance too. I still remember in Sep, I called pastor up and told her that I wanted to quit.. cos of the many things that were happening then. But cos of her advice and encouragement, I pulled through.

She has seen me through many things.. and has impacted my life lots.. since sec sch days. She was then my sunday sch teacher.. and mentor as well. The gratitude that I have is definitely beyond words can express.

Was chatting with a friend that I got to know many years back. We kinda lost contact for a period of time but recently started msn-ing again. Ha.. We both admit that we are bad in keeping in touch with friends.

He said something that I totally can relate to:

i do think of my "previous" frens every now and then, then i will reflect on those "good" times

Yeh.. I always do that. Looking back.

Just tot of what pastor asked during today’s sermon.

“想一想，你曾经错过了什么?”

Start of another week. A shorter week though.

It started to rain heavily just now.. would have a good nite sleep tonight.
