Final Stage to clear


WOO HOO!! All my worry and stress is finally over.. Its not failing that worries me. But its the long waiting for the retest if I fail that stresses me. Having to wait for another 3 - 4 months is just time wasting.. Cleared the Basic and Final Theory Test with 1 try.. Now its just left with the practical test. Hope that I can clear it with 1 attempt too..

This week's BS is very challenging. I'm remind that God is patient and gracious.. No matter how many times Moses rejected God when God ask him to go to the Israelites, God did not flare up with him. But this doesn't mean that we can negotiate with God. We're never in the position to negotiate with God. We were once sinners, God's enemies. But its the death of Jesus, that we can now be right with God and be included in the kingdom that is to come.

I was also reminded that it is never how good we are. Not the good things that we have done. Not how skillful we are. It is also not how unworthy we are, how lousy we are. But ultimately, its who God is. God is the ultimate, He is the Alpha and the Omega. In Exodus 3, when Moses rejected God by asking what should he say if the Israelites ask for God's name. God answered Moses, "I AM who I AM. God is unchanging. He is who He is.. He is the same God of OT and NT. He will always be faithful..

Record Breaking Day

Suppose to go for the Don Carson talk today. But don't know why, I just didn't feel like going. Met up with Dom and Andrew for the regular Tuesday bowling instead. The first game was the best. Broke my all time highest of 181 pinfall. Manage to get my 8th turkey and highest record of 183 pinfall.



Super busy with work lately.. Need to prepare for the upcoming Mid Autumn Festival Lunch.. Need to rehearse for my role in the show.. Need to look for more sponsors, best if mooncake.. Need to clear the control room to turn it into an office.. Need to plan for launching of new local station.. Need to cover more workload.. Need to prepare for church camp.. Need to study for Final Theory Test.. Need to repair the faulty computer at home..

I was pretty sian at work today. So I took the air freshener and drew graffiti on the carpet.. Used it to spray my company name in mandarin.. Haha..

3/4 more to go

Had my 6th driving lesson today.. Did the same as lesson 5. The instructor just let me drive by myself.. Today's lesson was rather fun. There was this part where I was on a long stretch of road. Ahead was car with L plate too.. A Subaru.. Mine was just a Nissan Sunny. But the Subaru was much slower than me. So I "Kay Kiang", when to signal right, speed up and overtook him. Haha.. I the end I got scolded by my instructor.

This Thursday is my final theory test. Haven't really study yet. Jia lat.. I don't wanna fail. I'm a private student. If I fail, the next test date will be months later...

Below are just some random photos from a table mat. It was a free gift from Kellogg's. OH YA! There is also cute Jaja. Eugene was feeding him in the cry room while the 2nd service is on..

searching.. waiting.. but for what?

Almost delete my blog yesterday. Somehow just lost the interest of blogging. Many things to blog about, just didn't have the motivation to do so.. Kind of low lately.. Almost booked ticket to runaway to Tioman or any beach resort to spend the weekend alone. I feel that there is something I'm searching for, something that I'm waiting for.. But I just can't tell what it is.. Maybe I am waiting for the Mid-Autumn Festival Lunch that I am planning to be over? Or maybe I am waiting for Church Camp to be over.. I don't know.. All I can do is wait..

------------------------------------------

Last Thursday, I took leave to go to Ubin with Tua Tior, Bea, James, Justin and Charissa. We went there to look for durians.. Haha.. Set off at about 9am. Had breakfast @ Changi Village. We went there not knowing what to expect. Where to find the durians.. I just blindly went into the vegetation, waited.. and suddenly, 1 durian fell from the tree. I manage to see where it fell. Quickly ran there to collect my prize. After the 1st durian, the 2nd, 3rd and many more came much easier. But still need to go into the vegetations and feed mosquitoes. Found 12 durians in the end.






------------------------------------------

Finally manage to pass the clothes I bought for Elliot and Sharona to them. Andrew went to Perth, so I asked him to help me bring them over. When Andrew past them their clothes, he asked Elliot if he has anything for Kor Kor Richmond. He quickly ran to take a photo that he took with his teacher and wrote his name behind. Elliot is sooo cute! Andrew says that he is still about the same height but talks a lot now. Can't wait to see him!



------------------------------------------

Today we had our regular Tuesday bowling again. Today was just me, Andrew, Dom and Dot. I bowled 7 games today again. Played 7 games last week too. Now my poor fingers are hurting. Broke my personal record today!! Manage to get 2 turkey throughout the games.. Highest score was 173! Yipee!!

F.I.R Press Conference

Finally!! The relaunch of Rediffusion is over.. 3 days of Roadshow. Everyday 11 hours of working, standing, explaining, packing.. All these are over.. I was so tired, that everyday after work, I just doze off straight away when I reach home.. I didn't even shower.. Haha.. Thankful for the brothers who came down to support me..

Met up with Keith after work today.. Finally tied down the loose end of church camp. Camp committee is finally formed and confirmed. Just 6 people all together.. Looking forward to our mini recce. Just me, Keith and Andrew.. Just feel more a peace of mind if I can go down to have a feel of everything beforehand. Haha..

F.I.R is in town.. They are some Taiwanese band coming down to promote their coming concert in August.. Nothing much to say about them. So I just uploaded some photos that I took during the press conference. Something funny about the conference. When Faye was signing the poster.She wrote the wrong date. That's why the date you see below is 6+1..

YAY!!

After work today, I went around fixing subscriber's receiver set again. Managed to fix quite a lot today.. Keith called me while I was half way thru fixing. Met him for dinner. Had a good chat with him.. After which I went home to collect the new receiver set and went to the angry sub's residence. Thank God that the new receiver worked perfectly well.. The sub was very happy with my service. And said that I am very dedicated.. Hahahahahah.. (head swelling already).

Now I all ready for the battle tmr till Sunday.. Hope that the crowd will be there, sales are good, and no nasty subscribers coming down to disturb. Haha.. Gonna miss my church brothers and sisters.. Won't be able to join them this weekend for fellowship.. Hoping to see some of them down at AMK Hub though =)

=(

Thank You Lord...

Thank You Lord for giving us your Son, to die for all of us, and for those who believe, receive forgiveness and salvation. Thank You for Jesus' death and resurrection, that we can now come in full confidence, to receive and enjoy the privileges that we now have. Thank You that we can now call You our Father, we can come in full confidence to honor and worship You and enjoy this relationship that we have in You. Thank You Lord that even after Jesus' resurrection, You did not leave us alone. But You gave us Your word and the Holy Spirit, to help us to mature in You and to be more like Jesus. Thank You for always being there for us, in good times and bad times. Thank You for never letting us go, despite us constantly go after worldly things than You. I just pray that You'll continue to help all of us truly understand what is important and what is not.. What is worth going after. To continue to want to be right with You, to do things that pleases You. I also pray that we will continue to keep focusing and trusting in You, putting You in the center of everything. Pray for our love for You and others to grow. To put others before ourselves, satisfying others need before ours. Amen...

Had a tiring day today.. Don't know why, but my shocking and scary "woman screaming" alarm kinda lost its ability to shock and scare me out of bed. Nowadays I'll just end up waking up late. I think its time to look for more shocking and scary alarm tone.

Today in office, I received a complain phone call from a very angry subscriber. He called and complained that his set has not been working for a month, and he had made arrangement with our side. But till now, no one has gone down to take a look. As a responsible and dedicated worker, I promised him that I'll drop by his residence at 9.30pm, even though I planned to go back to rest.

Left office earlier to run errands. Went down to 1 of the Cantonese Clan to deliver the Lee Tai Sor collectible CD set.. The place was soooo difficult to find LA!! Haha.. I walked for more than 20 minutes before reaching the clan. The clan was located beside a shop selling clothes, along New Bridge Road. Its quite nice to see the old people inside. 4 of them playing Mahjong, another sitting at the counter, expecting me..

After collecting the payment, I headed to Sim Lim Square to buy CD-R and ink cartridges. I've been coming to SLS so often that I can remember where which shop is located. Haha. That really saves me time walking around to look for the shop as most of them looks pretty similar. I was rather angry with 1 of the shop. I was looking for a HP ink, and was walking around comparing prices. There was this shop that offered me $32 for a black ink, when others are offering me $22-$26. That's almost $10 more LA!! Want to earn money also not like that right?!!

After I am done with my errands, I rushed down to Heartland Mall to meet up with Pastor. Had dinner at the Jap/Korean Fushion Restaurant. Can't remember what is the name. After dinner, we met Johnson and Charis. They went there to send Justin for violin lesson.

After dinner, I went straight home to rest. Reached home about 8.30pm.. First thing I did was lied on the floor and stone. Haha.. Think that has become my favourite past time at home. I was so tired and it was so comfortable that I fell asleep. At first I planned to leave house at 9.15pm to cycle to his place. But in the end I woke up at 9.40pm. I quickly got up and change and rush to his place.

When I reached, his wife opened the door for me. She didn't look or sound that fierce.. While trying out the receiver set, her husband, the one who called this morning walked towards me. Haha.. He didn't sound that bad like this morning.. Maybe he is touched by my heart-warm service. Hahaha.. In the end I concluded that the receiver is faulty. Made another promise to him that I'll drop by tmr evening again, with a working set. After everything, we still chatted at the door step for about 10 minutes.. I really hope that everything will be fine when I bring down a new set tomorrow =)

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Today is Tuesday.. Our so called "Bowling Day". Before bowling starts, met up with Andrew to have dinner. Had dinner at this Taiwan snack house, named 满家乐, Full House. Both of us ordered the "curry pork cutlet rice". Its actually quite tasty. The only bad thing is that there isn't any proper ventilation in the shop. So once you enter, your shirt will be stink with oil frying smell.

Today only me, Andrew, Dot and Dom came.. Today's performance is super lousy.. Don't know what is wrong with bowling technique. It just doesn't feel right. Half way through the game, Chong and Amy came..

Meeting Pastor for dinner tomorrow. It has been a while since we last catch up. Really looking forward for tomorrow's dinner.. Got to work through the weekend this week. Will be busy at AMK Hub for the relaunch.. Won't be able to meet up with the consistory to show them the church camp budget. Alright, got to spend sometime preparing the Church Camp budget.. That's it for today...
