today was my 1st day of work @ the law firm.. well well well. i must say that it's much more interesting than DBS. basically, what i did was photocopying, collecting debts from the debtors & a little filing here and there. i guess i'll learn more tomorrow. Everyone there is pretty nice, even the lawyers.

i think i'm falling sick.:( my throat hurts a lot. guess its becos i've eaten too much fried food. coupled with the MSG & oil, it's no wonder i don't feel too good. I met Cat for lunch today to eat the delicioud wanton mee at international plaza..haha. for once in a week, i finally got round to eating soupy stuff.

the best part abt the job so far is the fact that i dun have to contribute CPF. haha. so this means that my take home pay will be much more. :P the toilets there are pretty clean. however, they aren't as 'posh' as the DBS toilets though. but i guess its acceptable. the only grouse i have is the darn lift. the lift simply wooshes up & down. if it weren't for the fact that my office is on the 12th floor, i would have walked up the stairs instead. you can literally feel your heart in yr mouth each time the lift stops. talk abt roller coasters being heart stopping. the lift at my office will suffice...

my desk is pretty bare now. i guess i'll bring some nice stuff in to decorate it... after all, i'm gonna be there for at least 1 mth so i might as well make myself feel at home. :P I think i'm the only temp around there. the other staffs all look so much other than me! the secretary whom i'm under thought that i was waiting for my O level results.. she seemed rather shocked when i told her i was waiting for my A level & not O level results. haha. the atmosphere seems rather relaxed. most of the other staff play music [rather softly though] at their desk. i've got my own comp too! but there's no internet.:( the only website i can assess is the company's website.

rather tired now..guess i'll go & check my mail before plonking down on my nice comfy bed to sleep......

well well.. today was my last day of work at DBS. hm.. what can i say? pretty slack last day. it was spent mostly in the Cold Room listening to music & drinking fluids with Ling Si... i just found out that the Cold Room's the place to be if u wanna get away from everyone. :P anyway, gonna miss u guys lots!! & Rach let me in on an interesting titbit of info, and i really really really wanna thank Priscilla. i don't want to say out what it is just in case a certain someone happens to come across my blog. :P

tomorrow's a brand new day, a brand new experience & a brand new begining for me. kinda reminds me of last week's sermon. :) pray that everything will go well for me tomorrow.

"For if God is for me, then who can be against me?"

till then..... tata.

Hillsongs - I Will Never Be The Same Again


I will never be the same again,
I can never return, I've closed the door.
I will walk apart, I'll run the race
And I will never be the same again.

I will never be the same again,
I can never return, I've closed the door.
I will walk apart, I'll run the race
And I will never be the same again.

Fall like fire, soak like rain,
Flow like mighty waters, again and again.
Sweep away the darkness, burn away the chaff,
And let a flame burn to glorify Your name.

There are higher heights, there are deeper seas,
Whatever you need to do, Lord do in me.
The Glory of God fills my life,
And I will never be the same again.

Fall like fire, soak like rain,
Flow like mighty waters, again and again.
Sweep aways the darkness, burn away the chaff
And let a flame burn to glorify Your name.

Fall like fire, soak like rain,
Flow like mighty waters, again and again.
Sweep away the darkness, burn away the chaff,
And let a flame burn to glorify Your name.

I will never be the same again,
I can never return, I've closed the door.
I will walk the path, I will run the race
And I will never be the same again.
And I will never be the same again.
And I will never be the same again.

met ray today......really a great experience. i'm too lazy to blog abt it now, so i'll probably update more tomorrow. meanwhile, here's a pic of me & ray!! so leng... haha.. and esther, i think he's more leng zai than yr chilam..:P

i got it!! i've managed to secure a place at the Law firm.. i'm gonna start work next Wed. i'm kinda sad abt leaving DBS cause of all the new friends that i've made there, but i really really want the law firm job. well, i guess i can't have the best of both worlds.. work's kinda boring cause i don't really have anything much to do. my colleague's helping me to do most of the work so i dun have anything to do for most of the time. it's pretty late now n i wanna sleep. will probably update later on when i'm more energetic..

later.

as promised... here are the pictures taken when i was working at Swissotel[temp job].


from left: Yoz,Priscilla,Sammantha & Me!



well.....gtg for church soon! updates when i get back..

God is good... all the time!

wow......i've so much to say although it has only been a few days. hm.. where shall i start? ok. first things first. i'm presently working at DBS in Shenton Way,doing some financial thingamajig. the job is real boring. anyway, i met lots of new friends there. :) Rachel[from my church],Ling Si,Adeline,Grace,Nicholas & another guy whose name i can't remember. the people there are pretty nice. its just that the work is very boring. can u imagine staring at the comp for the whole day straight? working hours are from 8.30am-6.15p.m.. but....... i always have to do O.T. :( so i can't go home early. i usually leave ard 7-7.30p.m.. Adeline told me that a lot of ppl come and go in this job. I think i'll leave too, esp if i manage to get the job that i want..

here comes my highlight of the day.

I applied to quite a few Acc & Law firms last week asking if they need temp staff. They didn't reply me by Mon, so i thought that there was no hope. Yupz. so last night, i was on the phone with Samantha & we were talking abt our job n stuff. So i started saying that i wanted to go over to her Law firm to work. Basically, i was complaining a lot abt my job. Anyway, i prayed real hard last night that i'll be able to get a job in a Law firm. So, today was quite 'jia lat' in the sense that i screwed up a bit n got scolded.:( At 6.15pm, imagine my surprise when i received a call. i mean, no one ever calls me at that weird time. so i picked up the phone and guess what?? It was someone from one of the Law firms i applied to! :) *cheers* they asked me to go down for an interview tomorrow, so i'm praying that i'll be able to get the job. FYI, the firm is Yeo-Leong & Peh LLC. Its a pretty large firm with ard 200+ lawyers & support staff.. Really gotta thank God for this. If not for his intervention, i'ld probably still be jobless.

So pray for me as i go for my interview tomorrow!

whew.....ended my temp job today. it was quite fun overall. got to make lots of new friends! Lynette, my MP(Makan Partner),Samantha,Yoz,Priscilla,King Man and Sebastian(Charlie Brown).and the best part is that almost all of them are from my church! yep, and most of the time was spent eating Haagen Dasz ice cream and 'koping' food from the buffet. :P i managed to try all the flavours! i had strawberry,belgium chocolate,macadamia nut,coffee,mango and cookies & cream. super super nice!! swissotel food is nice too. i was like drinking lots n lots of water during the whole session in the ballroom cause there was like nothing to do. but my feet hurt! we had to stand for quite a period of time too.. in heels!! argh... anyway, i think i got ard $280++ for 4 days of work which is not too bad. but i just spent like $80++ on clothes today. can't be helped though. i need them for my new job which is at Shenton Way!! so cool right? its a more permanant job this time round. hope that it will be fun. :P

really must thank God for giving me this job, and Priscilla for recomending it to me! i owe her one now.. :) i went to watch Meet The Fockers with Pris after work today. i think it was a very gd show. extremely hilarious! n i like the baby.. so cute. esp the way he says ass-hole... :P

i'll try to post up the pictures taken soon...meanwhile..i gotta go!! :P

this is not funny.. i'm still unemployed. how on earth am i ever going to earn the $$ needed for another trip to HK?? Anyway, i've applied for an accounts assistant job. shd be quite interesting to see how the accountants work. this way i'll be able to gauge if i'm really interested in accounting. thank God that i have a temp job for 5 days.. shd be able to earn ard $500++ which is tantamount to half a mth's pay!

i was at tampines just now & i got roped in to 'help' some MJC ppl who were having their orientation.. kinda lame if u ask me. i still prefer SA's orientation. :P no offence to any MJC ppl out there. *sighz* i still miss SA lots! i want to go back to visit chan, the div room and eat the food!! can u believe that in my 2 years at SA, i've never tried the 'yu pian mee fen' there?? i kept procrastinating and look what has happened? i didn't get to try it!!!!!! :(

have i mentioned how much i hate having to pay adult fare? my expenses have gone up almost 2 fold! stupid MOE. make me waste $$. i'm unemployed here!! and here i am wasting my financial resources. i know it contributes to the economy and all that, but it's not beneficial to me!!!!!

this is gonna sound really funny to some of you. I had a dream on the 1st day of sch. i dreamt that Mrs Tan, my econs teacher, scolded me for not going for my econs paper. how freaky is that? and it happened on the 1st day of school too!! it happened so long ago. almost 2 mths! i wonder what she will say to me when she sees me......:P kinda feel bad abt it cause i didn't tell her abt it. it was decided only at the last min too. oh well. at least i made use of the extra time i had to brush up on my lit. hope it pays off... results are gonna be released in march and i'm already starting to feel a little nervous? hm.. i dunno. kinda mixed up inside too. half expectation & half dread i guess.

meanwhile....its off to job street to search for more jobs.. wish me luck.

Shout To The Lord - Darlene Zschech

My Jesus, My Savior,
Lord, there is none like You;
All of my days
I want to praise
the wonders of Your mighty love.

My comfort, my shelter,
Tower of refuge and strength;
let every breath, all that I am
never cease to worship You.

Shout to the Lord, all the earth,
let us sing
power and majesty, praise to the King;
mountains bow down and the seas will roar
at the sound of Your name.
I sing for joy at the work of Your hands,
forever I'll love You, forever I'll stand,
nothing compares to the promise I have in You.
