When Am I Going Home?

It is 2.55 am and here I am still at my desk in the office. Guess I won't get to go home until its 8 am in the morning. My goodness! This is really record breaking. Let's see. I came to office at around 10 am this morning, and have been working till now, so that makes it 17 hours for now! And I am still nowhere near going home. When can this be over? But it's good that the whole team is here to support each other. Press on everyone!

God Is Watching Over You

Oh my goodness, it has been more than 6 months since i last blogged. Well guess after I started work i haven't had much time and also having to deal with nonsensical things at work just drains me out so much. I am not here to update about what I have been doing, but i just needed an avenue to rant.

After knowing someone for a period of time, I start to see the ugly side of humanity. But of course, I thank God there are people by my side who are normal and God-fearing as well. I guess I won't go as far to say the ugly side of humanity, but more of how such a person like "he" can exist. Blatantly lying, and lying about things that he can broadcast to the whole world about, and of course, making himself seem like the victim when in actual fact he is the perpetrator!

Aren't you afraid of God's judgement? Don't you think what you did is way overboard? To the extent that you are framing someone just to protect your own reputation. Well I guess at that level its a dog-eat-dog world, but calling yourself a follower of God, don't you have other ways to get around it?

I guess I am talking very abstractly here, but to all who are reading this just a gentle reminder that God watches and knows everything you do. And to that particular person, you may be able to keep the whole world in the dark, but he is WATCHING you and he will JUDGE you too.

The day the Lord died for my sins...Good Friday!

Yesterday, my day started off with Easter Convention at the Expo. I invited Susan along, and I was glad that God provided an excellent speaker Rev Albert Ting. Even Susan remembered certain things he said and I found the 1 hour long sermon to be very engaging as well. Never was there a point that i really felt like shutting off or sleeping. Its been a while since i last heard a really good message.

After spending the very first few hours of my day with the Lord, Susan and I proceeded to meet up with Harry for lunch. It was a last minute thing and surprisingly Harry was free the whole day too. Its been so long since we went out together, and it was indeed a refreshing time to meet up to chill together again. Went for ramen at Raffles City, one of my favourite ramen places around-Bishamon ramen, hmmm but its not very cheap? On average we spent 17 bucks for a bowl of ramen only haha. We hung around there for quite a while before we decided to go for coffee, but it took us so long to find a starbucks where we could settle down. We went to the raffles city one, no seats. We went to the city link one, no seats. We went to the marina square one, and still no seats! But there were two starbucks at Marina and thank God we finally found just one table to accommodate the 3 of us. Oh how i love starbucks.


Harry very happy with his brew of the day-->only $3.50!


Happy chilling

My sleepiness was finally getting to me as we have been sitting there for quite some time. So after discussing on what we should do, we decided to head down to town to shop for Mel's present. Since she told Susan what she wanted, we knew where to head to for ter stuff. And thank goodness we cleared up the misunderstanding with Mel or we would have listen to Sus and got her a really long ah ma looking wallet instead of a semi long wallet she had hoped for hahaha. That was funny, but nevertheless, her present's settled = ) We than began shopping around Taka area and went to Art Friend to browse.

Harry supposed to look candid for this shot but obviously failed haha

Now this better?

Ah ma looking Sus

Our dinner was simple that night. We just went to Yoshinoya; its been almost 2 years since i last ate at that place. The beef bowl is still delicious! Harry opted for a small bowl because he was keeping his stomach for his other craving---> Soup Spoon.

I finished my delicious clam chowder!

The both of us just looking at him eat, we were too full!

Since we were at paragon, we decided to go 'upmarket' shopping haha. Something we don't always do so we just went around shops looking at stuff, but after going in to Gucci, it was it. The rest of the boutiques were closed after we came out of Gucci, what a spoiler. We then headed down to indochine for a drink since we were tired of walking already.

Hmmm Harry's eyes look weird here

The trio

A pleasant surprise from Harry, our Easter eggs! Thank you so much my dear!

Loving our eggs

That marked the end of our night out. It was a long and tiring day, but fulfilling. Got to catch up with Harry, received easter eggs, and i had a big nice gift for myself which i am very happy with also haha. Went back home and had some bonding time with Miko, my bestest companion at home. I love this girl so much and she is always there to support me quietly.

Loving you always <3

Goodbye day

Leb is waiting to board his flight now; 1o days just passed by so quickly. Even though we are both so used to each other flying off, its still weird to know that you won't be able to see each other for a block of time again. During this holiday, we had our fair share of fights and unhappiness, but it is only when it's time to part where you realise you wish you had spend more time together and all the anger in the past just seems to disappear. I guess its human nature where we don't cherish something when we have it, but once we don't have it anymore, we start to yearn for it. Anyway, we had dinner together before heading for the airport and i must say i totally enjoyed the food and of course the company and privacy we had for this dinner.

After our dinner

Love this!

Bye dear!

Dear Lord Jesus, may you grant leb a safe flight back and keep him safe throughout this period where he will be away. Amen.

I am very tired!

I had a very long day. Started of my day with tuition at 9am, followed by relief teaching in school for the afternoon session. I know it sort of is like normal working hours, from 9 to 6 but i was really exhausted mentally as well as physically. I had many lessons in line today, and i didn't even get to sit down much. This is not the most straining part, but it was the shouting part that made me so tired. When 1 person talks its not very audible, but when 40 of them talk it gets damn noisy. I was so sick and tired of shouting on the top of my voice so that the rest of the class can hear me, and shouting to get them to shut up. Of course i didn't say shut up (i don't really like that word), but ultimately i just wanted to hear quietness. The kids really aren't scared of me, and sometimes i regret not creating a really very very stern image at the start. Also, i think i am too soft hearted. I see the other teachers scolding their kids and it can really get quite harsh, but i really don't want to hurt the kids. I was hoping that they would be nice to me if i use a nicer treatment on them, but it seems that it doesnt work. Worse of all, i finally met a b**** in my class! I can tolerate naughty kids, i can tolerate kids that are slow learners, i can tolerate playful kids, but i CANNOT tolerate attitude problem kids who think that they are so damn smart! Pisses me off big time, and this girl really has an attitude problem. Not a serious one but definitely not respectful of authority-ok maybe its just towards me. You can be telling her things like do you want to continue to misbehave? And she just gives you that can't be bothered face, or like totally not taking the soft treatment you are giving her. I really feel like just leaving her out but i can't, but i really cannot stand her freaking attitude! I think if she continues like that i will just send her to some super fierce teacher for counselling, so she gets scolded big time and stops being a b**** urgh! Anyway, loads of work coming in which means stress!!!! God please be my strength and wisdom. I need my rest....

Disgusting Bangalas

This entry is not going to be just on banglas alone, but on a day where i got to see for myself a very disgusting side of them. Yesterday i was at Sentosa with Leb for some tanning session, and i got to witness disgusting bangla workers lusting after bikini 'babes'. But before that, i just want to share on the goodness of God.

When we arrived at Sentosa, the sky was bright and clear, but a but cloudy, not very conducive for tanning. I prayed short prayers to ask God to clear away the clouds so leb could tan, but the sun came and in less than 1 minute, it got covered by the clouds again. Seeing the sun appear and go away made me think of the phrase 'behind every cloud there is a silver lining', and this phrase made me think of God's promise to us where in every trouble that can't seem to be solved, God will have the solution to it-he is just like the sun covered up by the clouds. No matter how cloudy it is, the sun is there, and even though we can't see the sun, we can still be sure the sun is there and will come out eventually.

The second promise i conceptualised would be the word persistant. As the sun came and go very quickly, i thought to myself that leb won't be able to tan in the end as well, so i told him to go. However he told me that why not just wait a while, and i was like ah fine. And the sun did come out just almost 5 minutes after, and it shone very brightly too. It just makes me wonder how often we give up so easily, thinking that God won't answer my prayer, why wait or why persist. Sometimes it just takes a little while more for God to give us the answer, and it is for us christians to hold on to that faith and persist till we see the sun come out. If you are wondering why i had so much time to think about so many things, it is because i wasn't tanning. I was sitting nicely under a nice shelter just observing the happenings there, and that is why i got to see those disgusting che ko pek (lustful) banglas!

Just as i was enjoying the sun and sea breeze, i saw this 'babe' with very good figure and a very nice tan walking on the beach. She was of course dressed in her bikini, and not the conventional kind. She was in a g-string bottom practically exposing her whole butt. As i was observing, i saw this bangla walk up to her and said something which of course i could not hear. But looking at her response, he must have proposed something disgusting, because she simply looked at him with a very disgusted face and walked off within less than 5 seconds. After she and her friend walked away, a group of bangalas started trailing behind her just to stare at her half exposed ass! They followed her all the way from one end to the other so that they could just gaze at her butt. How disgusting and desperate can they get man.

I think their purpose was to go to the beach to look at bikini babes, but that action of theirs really disgusted me so much. It was just a butt and they could like follow behind them like how a dog will follow a bone. I wonder what would they do if they were at nude beaches! Look, i am not simply being racist here, but i really have to insist that their conduct makes them deserve the kind of perception people have on them. I do look up to polite and well behaved bangalas. Those that will make it a point to say excuse me on the train so they don't accidently brush against you when they go out of the train, or those that bother to keep their distance from you so as to not create the misunderstanding that they are out to take advantage of you. But for this kind, i am sure they would jump at the chance to bed some woman, or even man. Damn sick. Oh and guess what. The babe whom they were ogling at isn't a babe after all. She was actually a tranny! hahahahaha. I only realised that when i was waiting for leb outside the toilet. I saw that 'babe' go in to the toilet, and on her way out, some ang mo guys tried to pick her up and the moment she opened her mouth, my jaw dropped. A deep and manly voice came out of her mouth. No wonder her figure was so good and she was so daring as to wear a g-string bottom.

Anyway God was really nice to us on this day. Right after we ended our tanning session, it started to rain heavily! How perfect his timing is.

Thank you God for the goodness you have shown in my life

How often do we do wrong things yet God constantly forgives us.

I am not perfect, and because of my imperfection, the more i need you Lord.

Woo hoo!

I just received a call from Mrs S this morning who confirmed that i would be taking over her class while she goes on maternity! Haha, when my friend asked me of this assignment i was already very excited, but nothing was confirmed as she was still looking for potential people to take over her class during her absence. I met her when i went to do relief and i guess i wasn't convincing enough as a stern and effective teacher. I then met her class for the first time when i took them for maths, and i can understand why she is worried for me. The class is really noisy and they aren't afraid of me, ok not all are like that, but there are 2 destructive fellas in the class. I guess they would be the problematic one, but i will remember the verse ' I can do all things through christ who strengthens me'. I think i will need to medidate on this verse quite often after i start my relief stint. I really want to give thanks to God that a newbie like me would be offer a chance as such. First things first, he gave me friends who are able to help me in this path, secondly he opened up doors of opportunities for me. This relief stint will definitely help me greatly in my application to MOE. Even though its only a temp job, I am very thankful because with a job market as such, whatever you get is considered as a blessing, and i know my blessing comes from God, so thank you God for everything!
