I HATE AUDITS

Yesterday as I was enjoying the last few moments of my leave in front of my com, I received some emails from my senior regarding the audit that's coming up and driving everyone crazy.

Suddenly I remember, oh ya, audit is coming. Lemme just be a good girl and read through the updates, at least when I return to work, I can answer questions when my supervisor ask me.

I was still in the happy dreamland of mine, until I stretch out and got my hands on my roster, and man. I've never felt so horrified before.

After 2 weeks of leave, my first day of work will be AUDIT DAY.

And I'm scheduled to work a PM shift, and the auditors are coming in the AFTERNOON.

Hur. Hur hur.

I don't know how I'm gonna die.

I stared hard at that thick stack of notes, policies, updates and random nonsense that was left unread since the start of my AL, I've never felt as exasperated before in my entire life.

Today I caught up with the dearest poly girlfriend of mine, WC (:D) at Suki Sushi. Enjoyed a scrumptious (is there such a word? But this word looks yummy to me) sushi buffet, and window shopped for my D&D dress. Had lots of fun, laughter and everything nice just by meeting her up. Held her hands and walked around just like how we did during poly days. Man, I really miss school days man :(.

After we parted, I attempted to avoid the reality, but this devilish voice went, "AUDIT is coming. AUDIT is coming. AUDIT is coming..." and I have no choice but to whipppp out the thick stack of notes that I psycho-ed myself to bring out, and studied studiously in the train like some nerd. AHHH!

I HATE IT!!!!

I better be able to answer all the questions. How about, audit better hurry end, so that this nightmare can end too!

*Clasps hands together*
Lord, I pray that the auditors will...

• Step on a banana skin and fall.
• Ate something wrong and get gastroenteritis.
• Met with some car accident and have to settle all the nonsense so can't come.
• Got up from the wrong side of bed and get a bad neck.
• Met Doraemon on the way and somehow disappear into Jurassic times.
• Accidentally made their way to the wrong workplace.
• Accidentally drive into the bermuda triangle.
• Saw great singapore sale selling LV/prada for 10bucks and decide to shop instead!
• Met fairy godmother and turn them into a mouse.
• Decide that "its enough!" and tender resignation.
• or.. or...

WHATEVER THAT WILL MAKE THEM DISAPPEAR!!

God, forgive me for being evil :(.

ARGH! See, its driving me CRAZY!! >_<..!!

What?!

Familiar tag that we see on buses right? But can somebody tell me what are those 2 oval things that I circled in red??

Saw this after cg on bus 55, have been trying to figure it out with the boys, but really, we dunno what is it....

Count your blessings :)

Such Godly-coincidence that I have to read about the story of Jeremy Taylor on Daily Bread on my Facebook after complaining on my previous post. Haha :D. I love this quote from this Oathman guy:

When upon life's billows you are tempest-tossed,
When you are discouraged, thinking all is lost;
Count your many blessings - name them one by one.
And it will surprise you what the Lord has done.

Nice :).

Busy-ness of life.

2 parts to my blog entry, with regards to "busy-ness".

Firstly, its been quite an occupied week. I went out again ytd!

Went to watch Mama Mia with Yan and chicKEN (:D). It was SOOO awesome! Not only was the company awesome, the show is WONDERFUL!!! I've always loved watching musical movies (if there's such a genre)! And this is simply great. I love the songs, love the dance, love the humour, love the story, love everything!!

The only glitch was that towards the end of the show the projector or whatever that is screwed up, and it ended abruptly. After some jeering, it came back again. But the show was too captivating that nobody bothered about the glitch anymore. Haha :D

Rushed to Clarke Quay, caught up with "Jack" again ytd, and this time she brought along 2 other friends, and we went to visit The Clinic at Clarke Quay, after hearing so much about it :)

Basically the theme of this place is simply HOSPITAL. The staff were in scrubs and the seats were gold-painted wheelchairs and all. Pretty interesting.

We ordered the signature drinks, namely Nurses' X party and Sex on a drip. Just a mixture of vodka and some random fruit concoctions.

Nurses' X party. Served in 6 syringes in a bucket of ice, like this:

Yepps. Felt pretty cheated cuz they only filled 30mls of the 50mls syringe. Argh. Should fill it to the max!

Sex on a drip. Looks quite mucky in green but its actually a very sweet drink. Haha.

And I was quite horrified to see that its serve in a REAL drip set. I was expecting some special drip set that is specially made for the pub for drinking purpose (Think camelbak). But anw, was quite an experience.

That 2 drinks cost us a whooooping $107.00 (50bucks per drink, plus GST). But for the ambience and the fun of it, its, er, worth it (I suppose). But once is enough. And next time I'll be smarter to order something cheaper, like beer.

Alright, busy-ness part 2. Here goes.

Ytd I was talking to LBB, and he totally irked me to the core (sorry LBB, didn't tell u that :D. But u got me thinking!!) by his "I don't like to keep rushing.." thing. I was quite irritated by it actually, cuz I thought he was prolly going through some prematured mid-life crisis...

But anw, funnily, after the convo with him ytd, today was a day that I rushed like mad. I went to my workplace to settle some documents, then went home, and rushed to swim before it rained, and rushed my swimming session as I'm supposed to meet Mantoonmee at PS for dinner, then rushed to shower, rushed to MRT station, rushed to PS.....

So I was walking at TOP speed at Dhoby Ghaut MRT station, I just went, ARGH. I really hate to rush. Then I thought back to LBB's I-don't-like-to-rush thingy, and then I felt God saying, "Isn't this what makes ur life exciting?" (God is quite cool eh? :D)

I looked back in life, I realised truly, I've been rushing all my life doing things. Alright, I admit there're just times when I wished that I don't have to rush. But then again, the fact that I have to rush actually do mean that I have things to do. I'm occupied. And I'm definitely making the best out of the little time that God has placed in my hands.

So on the escalator, I suddenly felt this joy and contentment. Yes, rushing can be such a chore sometimes. It sends all the adrenaline pumping, u start having palpitations, flushing and all the sympathetic responses. (Alright, I'm kinda exaggerating.) But looking at it in another point of view, I shall learn to see this as a blessing because God has given me friends, work, church, and a whole lot of worthwhile things to rush for. (Even if it means rushing to meet my supervisor to get a scolding, still, it goes to show, er, my supervisor cares enough to scold me! HAHA :D)

Food for thought eh? :) At least for me, it is!

Gift of God :)

"As for every man to whom God has given riches and wealth, and given him power to eat of it, to receive his heritage and rejoice in his labor—this is the gift of God."
Ecclesiastes 5:19 (NKJV)

"And it is a good thing to receive wealth from God and the good health to enjoy it. To enjoy your work and accept your lot in life—this is indeed a gift from God. "
Ecclesiastes 5:19 (NLT)

Lets receive from God!! :)

Eventful week.

Its been yet, another long and eventful week..

I don't wish to input too much, its too personal. More can be read from my private blog, which, is not opened to anyone (yet), as of now. Haha.

In a nutshell, basically the eventful things are from:

3. Cg.
4. Friends' problems (which I'm glad to be of help :))
5. Layy being away throughout my whole AL :(. Sighs. And I only realised when she left!! Sobs.

Of course, I won't rule out the fun things that happened, like:

1. AL! :) Its AFS man!
2. Outing with my "Jack" (its a she, btw. She's happily attached anw! :D)
3. Many outings with Mantoonmee, and having alot of fun :):)
4. A more bonded cg tt's more concerned with friends. Amen :).
5. Encouragements from God!
6. Outing with the pastamania gang (Photos to be up when I get it from Jo :))
7. Ogling at my soon-to-get Kohjinsha laptop. Hehe :)

Sexy.

Yepps, eventful week I had. Have been stressed out by work, as usual. Hope I'll have a good break. May be outta town for a while, so don't be alarmed if u can't reach me :).

Philippians 4:6-7

"Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus."
Philppians 4:6-7 (NKJV)

Christians, found this verse familiar? This is a verse that accompanied me through many examinations and many wind wind rain rain (风风雨雨) :D. I literally grew up with this verse, after John 3:16 :)

I was thinking of a verse to bless this special group of people in my life (cannot say which group! Or else my intended "surprise" is gone!) Its been bugging my mind for the past few weeks already. I've got the gift, just need the verse!

So today I typed "Peace of mind" in Biblegateway.com, and I was led to verse 7. I read and I was like, okay. Familiar verse. So I keyed in "The Message" bible version, and this came out:

"Don't fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns. Before you know it, a sense of God's wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It's wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life."
Philippians 4:6-7 (The Message)

I was like, WOW! This is such a familiar verse to us all, but look at the way its being rephrased in the Message bible :)

I felt peaceful already, just by reading that. Hehe :)

God is awesome. My God IS very very awesome! Amen :).

If God is a human, I'll jump on Him and give Him a tight squeeze now :).
