Finally went for my work orientation... hmmm like i shared with the new staff... i dun noe wat a work orientation shld be like... so yah.. it was realli an eye-opener cos' we had tea session wif ps eugene followed by a tour to 3 service centres...! 1st was the seniors activity centre, then independent living and lastly ubi hostel... hee.. realli thankful for the oppt. to meet my fellow colleauges... seeing their passion (yet noe-ing they r veri veri human...) in doing the service... realli inspired me... saw how the clients r very warm and cheerful perked me up! oh... the independent living is for the special needs ppl... they ended by praying for us... is so sweet! like u noe how we take prayers for granted at times.. yah.. every word they painstakingly formed in a proper sentence... its realli amazing.......
Hahhaha.... yup.. is veri deep kind of orientation... i cant realli express it well by blogging... I thx God for tis timely orientation... realli changed alot of my thots abt working in TCS... (though i still hold reservations in certain aspects) hee hee.. otherwise is very much a serving and loving environment... hahhaa... cant wait to go to the Staff advance in sept! Hee.... starting to understand wat it means by "part-time working, full-time ministry"....
So wif tat..... i shared wif my g12.. (cos' doing the fruits of the spirit... and todae's fruit is JOY!) HAHA... so every divine... and also shared wif my parents.... i think my parents r impress! and my Dad donated a neat sum to TCS! Yup....

"If my God is for me, then who can be against me??"
just wanna give thanks to God.. indeeed He is so so good, and He is sovereign over all...
as most of u noe, i've begun applying for jobs (finally..) haa... went for 2 proper interviews so far.. and through it all, God has really shown me how GreAt he is.. Really, i'm filled with awe...
1. meeting joanna!
haha, i coincidentally met jo on the way to my first interview on monday!! haa, really thank God for her, or else i think i'd be so so stressed! *though i doubt jo will ever read this... hahahaha.* thanks so much jo... the songs really helped!! =)
2. favour with the interviewers..!
that is the one thing i asked God for.. and He really gave me so so much favour with the interviewers.. all i can say, really, is that God fully took control the whole time, it was so easy for me to just talk and talk and talk and talk throughout... and not forgeting the jokes i was able to make too! hahaha!!
when i told me frens abt the interviews, they all said the same thing: "how come ur interviews so good one? how come like so relaxed and enjoyable?" and the one thing that i could only tell them was of God's blessings.. i know it really wasnt me.. it is until now that i understand wat it means to boast of the Lord.. i just feel so so blessed... so special to God..
3. Christian bosses!!
haha! and guess wat!! i casually mentioned to jo that it would be good if the person was a christian... haha... and ya!! both interviews, the boss are christians!! hahahaa... so cool u noe, i could openly talk about God during the interview!! ya... amazing. haha.
haha.. i really feel very blessed... like today's reading in the 40-day fast book says, "i'd rather have Jesus..." really, to me, the job doesnt matter any more... i so much enjoy this relationship i have with Him... that through boring things like interviews, He shows himself true... God is really really GooD!
aha, and yes... i bet many must be wondering, how come crow suddenly decide to stop nua-ing and start applying jobs ah??? hahaha.. yes, yes, thank you del.. for caring enough to knock some sense into me.. indeed i'm still very childish in many ways! hahaha... on monday when i met jo, she was like "eh? how come u suddenly send resumes? is it del finally talked sense into u??" then we burst out laughing.. hahaa... so funny...
God really very good hor? Someone, say AMEN! hahahahaha....

*.* The Aftermath *.*
Well, jacq, sara, chiwern and I stayed behind to "dry-swim" with Aileen and of course, God is not one that practise favouritism- so we all won!! :)
I really love this team of mine. The entire time we were doing this... there was lot of confusion and too many things going on at one time... But, yet, I've got special help from my God sent angels like Aileen, Crow, Joe and many others...:) It meant alot to me that we were able to get together to fellowship again.. :) Somehow, for me, I'm just searching for that closeness we used to share as a team before I left for Australia.. Probably a need for continuation! Thank You guys..
This has been memorable for me.. for not being able to celebrate Dellia's birthday with her for the past 3 years, and not being able to attend her wedding... Being able to be there to see her celebrate her birthday last night, alongside with the team.. meant a great deal to my need for continuation and adjustment for my 1st year back in Singapore..
More importantly, to be there to personally thank Dellia and appreciate her for all that she's been to me as a spiritual mother and Like what sara said in her post - let me rephrase "thank you for putting up with all the crap that we put you through and yet you lovingly welcome us anytime" Love You Dellia! Happy Birthday! :)

*.* Continued! *.*
Feeling a little awkward in part hats but still gamed for it! :)
Must I Add : I really love these crazy friends of mine..they've been a source of support and joy to me!:) I heart these friends!:)
Cheers Dellia and Dennis! :)
Photo Worthy Moment ... Before praying for Dellia (Sara was the sacrificial photographer!)
Stealing a moment to take pictures while praying for the birthday boy and girl! :)
"Oh Please Dellia! Let me steal a kiss!! "
A gREAT Way To End 11/07/2006 --- We're see one extra company next year! :)
Jesus gave us JoY! | 1:27 p.m.
*.* I'd better start putting up pics! *.*
If not my dearest Sara will really start nagging me! As quoted "NOW YOU KNOW WHY PICTURES ARE SO IMPORTANT (during video time!)
I believe the below post is from Sara! :) (Its her writing style lah!!) I really enjoyed last night as well.. it was so free and easy and FUN! :) Its been a long while since we slacked slacked slacked like that already :) Before i go on and on, Here comes the pictures! :)
The pigging out and acting crazy people (Even before the main people arrived!) Well, at this point, I must comment that Aileen has been an extremely good host... doing things for us! I Love this team mate of mine!! :) And of course, i was given a better opportunity to share a great time with the girls (Sara and Crow were fasting from junk food! and we made a whole load of jokes out of it!!) Well... Lennel was not at that table most of the time..he was just too shy to sit with the girls! :)
And of course, the birthday girl and birthday boy! :) Really, they were such fun and sporting people! Before the cutting cake session, there was a competition between the both of them to see who can blow out the candle (at 3 tile distance) ! Dennis Won! So, here's the cutting cake session... A LOGICAL person like me decided to buy 2 cakes coz it was 2 PERSON's BIRTHDAY!!! I don't know how come everyone else were illogical enough to think that there is should only be 1 cake!!! hahaha
Gorging ourselves with food... Yeah, Pam, dun worry, We fed dellia with apples and some other fruits which i don't know how to spell! (Background info: Pam had to specially message me to remind me to feed dellia with more healthy food!)
The girls that were there! (5 glams nice-smiles-pictures) and 3 super-unglam-big-mouth-pictures..hahahaha

*.* HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DELLIA AND DENNIS!!! =p *.*
hehe... as tired as i am now... (a full-pledged panda by now!), i just wanna say that im glad i made it for the "surprise" party we had for del and dennis just now. thankyou everyone for making the effort to come! hehe.. im blogging so that the rest who were unable to make it would not feel left out! hehe... im sure you all wanted to be there too! er...although there wasnt much of a surprise, as all the other years! wahaha.....let me see who was there.... on the girls' side, we had aileen (duh... it was at aileen's house!), chin ling, jacq, carolyn, dawn, joanna and me! on the guys' side, we had chi wern, joe, kelvin, daniel, and lionel. last but not least, we had del and dennis waiting for our "surprise"!we didnt do much la... we just pigged out while waiting for the couple, and cracked lotsa jokes. and aileen made us wear the animal hats for the party!
while del and dennis were on their way up, we started trying to clear the mess, and had to make it look like there were only the guys there to surprise dennis. after singing the birthday song 3 times (the usual, english, chinese, and christian version), the girls sprung out of the room with yet another cake to surprise del. and another bday song.
haha... well, all the above mentioned was only the plan la! i supposed it did happen that way, or so it seemed! heh...
nevertheless, the best part was definitely the jokes, the gorging of food, and the fellowship! carolyn broke a chair in the midst of everything (lets just wait for her to share how she broke it! keke....), we laughed alot at chin ling and aileen (as usual), and we took lotsa unglam pics (if chin ling would be so kind to post it up for us! hehe..)!!! carolyn also made a video clip for them, with all previous pics and funny captions that made me realised that we are really getting older!!! thanks carolyn for the wonderful video! =pdear del, Happy Birthday! thanks for being such a great mother to all of us! personally, you've really touched my life as much as you did for the rest, and really... we dont often say it out loud, but you really mean alot to us. thanks for being such a great blessing, thanks for being ever-so-patient, thanks for tolerating all our nonsense, thanks for setting aside time just to be with us, thanks for not giving up on any of us, thanks for holding on to all of us, thanks for praying unceasingly for us, thanks for your guidance, thanks for your corny-ness, thanks for loving us as your own.indeed, i thank God for YOU! amen!
