Feeling Good

My fears about driving the company transport was quelled when I found out that it wasn't so difficult driving it! Of course, my colleagues were having a dig at me la but in a nice way cos they know that I'm the relief-relief driver...Hahaha...Yesterday's charismatic prayer meet was good and it was nice to see friends again.. I know in one of my posts I have been feeling lousy but the main aim / focus was to do it for God and no one else...that changed my prespective after talking to C. Thanks C! You have been such a great listener ;)

Today's Choice Election has been great as well! Really enjoyed the whole session especially the sharing given by our Spiritual Director, Fr. Fred. I finally got what I wanted 2 years ago and that was to be in the Communications sub-committee! I have since relinquished my role as Hospitality Single and now my new portfolio is Communications Single with the Communications Couple being Daren and Jenny! I am definitely going to look forward working with the both of them as well as working with the new Choice committee!

A Cool Thursday

It was a cool and drizzling Thursday morning and I boarded the bus. Not expecting that the trip would take 1 hour odd!!! I knew something wasn't right when the traffic started jamming at the cross junction of AMK Ave 3 and AMK Ave 6. I discovered later that there was an accident along Lornie Road.

Anyway, work went pretty well. Went to BCA with Yiting and Bee Lan to discuss with the BCA people to talk about the technical issues regarding RE / RTO matters. Took the train to get to Khatib Camp but in the end found out that there was no RT at all!! The camp didn't look like its usual state. Normally, I would see cars parked at the carpark and people walking towards the camp but today, it was different.

There were hardly any cars parked at the carpark and I didn't see anyone walking towards the camp! Luckily, I met Ah Siong who signalled to me when I came down from the bus that there wasn't any RT. We chatted for a while as to how it happened and ended our conversation when I left the bus.

Oh yeah...I forgot...another one of my colleague has left. Kindly see the post dated 21st July. I will be driving the company van tomorrow =( and its a manual!!!! Kinda scared cos I havent driven a manual car in 6 years! Hopefully, with some test drives, I should get my confidence back.... Wish me luck!!!

Another One Bites The Dust

Another colleague just left my company. Kindly see my post dated 21st July 2008.

Anyway, on another topic, my time doing RT is about to end. I've got 2 weeks more before finishing and hopefully I don't need to do RT anymore. Why I'm saying this is because there is this new program called IPT which is definitely better than RT. Although its voluntary BUT you are execused from RT even though you failed your IPPT. That's good news!

From today onwards, I will try my best to cut down on my weight and also to jog every day cos I really want to have a flat tummy!!!

Music of the Spheres

I had a good Saturday yesterday.

Was basically slacking the whole morning and went for my 1st Youth Worship Ministry meeting. I discovered that all of them were younger than me!!!! But nonetheless, it was ok la and I had no problem blending in with them. I somehow feel that the people in YWM are better than CPG (better in what terms, you might ask but I prefer not to discuss it here) but that has yet to be seen. Maybe down the road I might have a change in feelings...who knows?!??!

After my YWM meeting, we went to the coffeeshop and chatted for a while before I had to leave for home and thereafter, meet Albert to go for the Music of the Spheres concert. I reached Raffles Hotel at around 6pm and called Albert since he wasn't around Seah Street Deli. Albert was still @ Novena so I decided to go to Bras Basah Complex as it was my 1st time there (don't laugh! I'm serious!!!) I know that there were a couple of music shops and so I went there to take a look..Most of them were selling guitars and hardly any wind instruments. I went into Swee Lee and asked if they have any saxophone cases. I was actually looking for a case that has wheels attached so that I don't have to carry my sax around! I was quite happy that the alto sax case has got what I wanted and I asked if they have the same type but for tenor sax. Unfortunately, the salesperson said that what they have on display is what they have. =( My search still goes on....

Anyway, I met up with Albert, had dinner @ Miss Clarity along Purvis Street, Winny joined us later and after our dinner, we went to Raffles Hotel where we met Anne and Alvin. Fell.E and Alin soon joined us. The concert started although it a bit late and we were entertained with the music that followed. I must say that all the 3 choirs had voices as if they came down from the heavens! It was THAT angelic! Coincidentally, it was my 1st Choral Concert too! I definitely will be looking out for more choral performances in time to come!

Sore Throat

Got up this morning and realised that I was having a sore throat.... How on earth did I get it?? =(

The Heart of the Matter

I got the call today and I didn't wanna hear but I knew that it would come
An old true friend of ours was talkin' on the phone
She said you found someone

And I thought of all the bad luck and the struggles we went through
And how I lost me and you lost you
What are these voices outside love's open door?
Make us throw off our contentment and beg for something more?

I'm learning to live without you now
But I miss you sometimes
The more I know, the less I understand
All the things I thought I knew, I'm learning again

I've been tryin' to get down to the heart of the matter
But my will gets weak and my thoughts seem to scatter
But I think it's about forgiveness, forgiveness
Even if, even if you don't love me anymore

Oh, these times are so uncertain, there's a yearning undefined
Then people filled with rage
We all need a little tenderness
How can love survive in such a graceless age?
Ah, the trust and self-assurance that lead to happiness
They're the very things we kill, I guess
Ah, pride and competition cannot fill these empty arms
And the work I put between us, you know it doesn't keep me warm

I'm learning to live without you now
But I miss you, Baby
The more I know, the less I understand
All the things I thought I figured out, I have to learn again

I've been tryin' to get down to the heart of the matter
But everything changes and my friends seem to scatter
But I think it's about forgiveness, forgiveness
Even if, even if you don't love me anymore

There are people in your life who've come and gone
They let you down, you know they hurt your pride
You better put it all behind you,baby cos life goes on
You keep carryin' that anger, it'll eat you out inside, baby

I've been tryin' to get down to the heart of the matter
But my will gets weak and my thoughts seem to scatter
But I think it's about forgiveness, forgiveness
Even if, even if you don't love me

I've been tryin' to get down to the heart of the matter
Because the flesh will get weak and the ashes will scatter
So I'm thinkin' about forgiveness, forgiveness
Even if, even if you don't love me

Forgiveness (x6)
Even if, you don't love me anymore

Failing to talk when it really matters

Haiz..Had supper with my church friends. I dunno...maybe it was because I was tired or they were tired or I dunno what...Somehow or rather I couldn't click with them and when C was asking me a question...well...I guess I failed in those few seconds cos I didn't know how to answer her!!! Haha...I guess they must have found me quite weird cos I wasn't talking a lot but thats me la. I tend to listen more than talk and when it came to the crunch, I was stuttering and stammering away...I dunno why it happened but it did :(

So far, my verdict about being in this group is that I feel like I don't belong cos people start to get into their own clicks and talk about things that only they know about. I feel left out. My perception could be wrong as I've only just joined this group and only getting to know the people slightly better.... God prove me wrong!

Holiday

Lots of things and events have happened since the last post and although I won't be able to regurgitate but I'm happy to say that things are going well for me. I recently joined 2 ministries in church to improve my faith formation and I think it has helped in a way.

The last weekend has been tiring cos of the Choice weekend and also my other activities during that weekend as well. This holiday has been a good midweek break for me to catch up on my sleep =) but apparently, I need more sleep!!! argh....
