hell. man. am i not fed-up and irritated with the unreasonable people i meet at work!
seriously. they need to get a life for making me upset since monday. the same people.
why can't they just be nice and polite when they need help?
they are forcing me to be nasty and mean. hur. that particular biat-ch especially.
roar. okay. i need to cool down because there are bound to be such idiots in the working society.
like what sis said, sometimes, we need to act like a bitch to these people. i totally agree.
and zhang shuo says to be nice, because they might be having a bad day. then that gives them the right to spoil my day? calling me, and scolding me from the other end of the phone.. they have to understand that there are things that are beyond my control. hur.
fine, i'll give them a benefit of doubt since it's quarter-end closing.
my patience count is running low, so that person should stop getting on my nerves and stop irritating me, at least for the rest of the week. pls!

Some point in life, you'll have to choose between the life you want, and one that you don't want but must live. What is important that you choose of your own mind, and decide yourself, what life you will lead. Traveling this path, some times you'll find it dark and fearful, and may get hurt. But if you don't forget your courage, you can find the road you need to travel. Having courage will not keep you from being afraid, but it will tell you how to act when you are afraid...

it's friday!! yay. boss's not in today :))
work's not too bad now that i've gotten used to the operations here....but my life everyday now is just excel spreadsheets. so many numbers until i think i'm going cocked-eyed! haah. but no, i'm still not used to waking up so early, even though somehow i'll automatically wake up at 6.30 every morning. worst thing is, that happens even on weekends. damn. just when i want to sleep in on saturdays. since that's the only day i get to sleep in. sundays not too bad since church only starts at 11am. it's an hour away from knock-off. teehee.so *happiness*
fathers' day dinner and then to church for youth rally laters. meeting up my 09 peeps and manda's 21st party on sunday :D
and i might be meeting mate tmr too! haven't seen her in ages...okays. back to work....

something to share...
today's sermon was really interesting and definitely applicable.
sometimes, i really think that God works wonderfully in his way. his perfect timing.
"in his time..."
Mark 4:37-40
V.37 "And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full.
And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish?
And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.
And he said unto them, Why are ye fearful? how is it that ye have no faith?
V.41 And they feared exceedingly, and said that one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?"
it's about the storms of life we experienced and how God has his plan for each any every one of us. be it trials or sufferings. and i think it's really applicable for us. especially after the accident mom had that day, her constant worries and paranoia over countless of little things. when the pastor started the sermon today, me and sis were thinking bout the exact same thing. "today's topic really applies to mom!!" which is why i think his timing is always so perfect.
and this phrase is really meaningful.
"God whispers to us in pleasure, speaks to us in conscience but shouts at us in our pain; His megaphone to rouse the deaf world."
when life is smooth-sailing and peaceful, we(I) tend to forget his importance and only when times like this hit us(me), then it occurred to me how much i needed him. so shameful of us(me). to me, i know it has been a difficult time, for me, for the family and more for mom. but his words have been and will continue to serve as a pillar of support for us through this time, that "all the way, my saviour leads me..."
i've always liked this song since young, and today, it came into my mind again.
When life's burden gets so heavy, and it seems i'm all alone.I cast my care on Jesus and come boldly to His throne. I find His grace sufficient when His promises i heed. For His very life He sacrificed and He lives to intercede. He is the Lord of Lords and when He speaks, winds and waves obey, when Jesus whispers "Peace be still", then darkness turns to day. And as I'm trusting in my Saviour's word, doubts and fears all cease. And beneath the shelter of His wings, I'm at rest in perfect peace.

in another 9 hours, i'll be sitting in front of my laptop at my desk, staring at my lotus inbox, QAD & countless of excel spreadsheets. hur. the week's gonna start again. it hasn't been a really good one for the past whole week so i'm looking forward to a better week tomorrow ((:
thinking bout it, it's a vicious cycle...everyday once the alarm rings, drag yourself out of bed, prepare for work, squeeze yourself onto the sandwiched-packed train and the first thing you look forward to is LUNCH-TIME! after lunch-time, you tell yourself, "i hope 5.30 comes soon". KNOCK-OFF time. that's the second thing you looked forward too, or maybe tea-break for those with the habit of taking tea-breaks. the week starts a little draggy, then come mid-week when you'll start to get a little excited because week-end is coming and then comes friday! the WEEKEND is here. for me, i cherish public holidays and weekends more than anything. they are hard to come by you know! and somehow, weekends pass a little to fast for many of us and zoomed! comes sunday and we start to dread the start of a new week on monday. isn't it a vicious cycle? I for one, look forward to lunch-time everyday. that's because, the first part of the day is always too draggy for me. with the fact that i'm not a morning person, getting up early in the morning and what's more, on time, is not easy for me. but seriously, i'm so thankful this is just a part-time job. and i can't wait to return to sch this august ((: i miss my friends!
lou's on the plane now, flying towards london. lucky girl! lou, you should have asked me earlier!! i would have agreed to go with you!! hur. and she's only gonna be back in 9 days' time... and then it'll be our taiwan getaway, probably with a short holiday to bangkok too ((: i hope time passes faster... and pam's back so this week's gonna be better than last!!

it has been a really tough week for me. waking up early in the morning, work, rushing up and down the hospital, attempting to do housework for the first time... but all is worth it because mom's getting better each day. but for the following one-two months, she's not allowed to do any strenuous activities. so the rest of the family will have to take turns to do the housework. mom's going for the final CT scan for the brain tmr, just to review, in case there's any complications. afterall, the blood flowed from her ears. but the "just-in-case" WILL NOT happen. so my family's praying hard that God will bless mom. and i believe He will because He has since the start of this incident. and i'm/my whole family is really thankful to God. because we know that God will always be there.
been really worried over my parents recently. many of my relatives have been going in and out of the hospital for the past 1/2 year. rough patch for everyone. first it was my uncle, then my cousin, then my aunty, then my mom. and now dad has to go for a blood test because recently when he went for a check, the results are higher than normal. so doc wants him to go for a final test this coming week for bone marrow test. and when i hear the word "bone-marrow", my legs went soft. how can i not be worried! i really pray and hope that both dad and mom will be fine and healthy. that's the least i ask for. it's not easy for me and the family. everyday just praying that the next day will be a better day..no worries no nothing. it made me so tired that all i want to do each day is to jump straight into bed, pray to God and go to sleep. my prayer each day: "dear God, please keep my parents healthy. please keep me strong...."
i think what dad said really make sense. he said there's always a first time to accidents. and one time is enough to make your life hellish. not that i'm saying my life's hellish now..it's just hmm, difficult and tiring. so i need alot of support and comfort. that i will have to say..i'm really thankful to the people around me. my family, my jiemeimens, lynn, lou, jas, kris...
okay. on a brighter side, i've been doing different kinds of housework this week. from waking my brother up in the morning, to washing clothes. haha. yes, the mel who can't drag herself up from bed every morning despite the pleas from her mom, is finally forcing herself up each day to wake her brother up for school. and i even made him breakfast! haha. that day, the family tried to operate the washing machine but it turned out, the machine didnt spin the clothes dry enough, so when we were hanging the clothes, above us, it was raining. lol. but still, after my first attempt on all these housework, i think i can get married already! haha.
