When God Speaks.....

Today, I went for the 2nd interview where HP assigned. I'm assigned to attend this interview at Bedok Green Secondary School. Yes, that's Aizhen's and Lyna's secondary school. I was really nervous even though I was sure that God will place me there somehow. Met the HP representative and there were 3 interviewers in some way. The VP, H.O.D (IT) and the HP rep were in the room while I'm being interviewed.

After the interview, Fathima (HP Representative) confirmed my place in BGSS. Finally, I'm really not going for anymore interviews. I really feel very stressed. Anyway, Rachel and I went for a late lunch or rather we had dinner at Crystal Jade Kitchen. Really love spending our time together. It's gonna be tough from next week onwards but we'll serve each other coz we simply wanna honour each other and honour God.

During worship at Music Ministry Bible Study today, I felt God speaking to me. There must be more than this. I didn't please Him 100%. I guess songs are simply songs. But what matter most was the worship to Him. I pray that I'll be very real and very obedient each time I lead worship. At times, like what Chris shared, about the 1 Chord track, it's really about soaking into His presence. God spoke to me about my life. My boundaries in life, my worship life, my time with Him. He's a very intimate God. I never felt so touched like today. He spoke to me even when I'm at my weakest. It's the weak that He can make strong.

I truly hear from Him. Now, my questions are..... are You upset with me? are You pleased with the worship we gave? Was it our 100% or not? At the end of the day, I sense His presence and He simply healed me of my hurts. Fear of Man..... I fear not from now. Coz I know He is leading me. Blessings come and they multiply and blessings to others. More and more of You, Lord.

Here I am, use me. Make me, mold me.

Be Blessed!

Simply Blessed!

Since Friday, I'm been very blessed by many people. First, I met up with Aurelia, then came the news for my job. Yesterday, the music practice and the sound check was simply worship to God. I simply enjoyed it. Though I had a headache.

Rach came back yesterday and I'm really happy! Simply blessed by her as she did want to surprise me at service. But she decided to tell me beforehand. Enjoyed worship as I played for service. During worship, my headache just went away. It was simply amazing. =) After service, Rach and I went with the other for dinner @ Pepper Lunch! 13 of us to a big long table all to ourselves! It's like a big outing.

And yeah, Rach and I are officially together since yesterday after I ask her to enter into the next level of relationship. I'm glad coz we had her parents to bless us and our mentors and those we are accountable to. In fact, we went out today for prayer at 8:30am and I led. It was another supernatural and rest moments of the year.

Welcome back, Miss Lam!

At Subway.....

Happy Moments!

Our nicest pic!

Went shopping thereafter and I drove her around all day. It was simply a blessing as we catch up a lot more than usual. Bought myself pants for work and preparing for the workforce. Simply enjoyed being with her and she had her haircut at my usual hairstylist @ Bishan. Ate at Sakae Sushi and Subway. Finally, she passed me a whole set of gifts. I'm simply blessed by Rach. Truly blessed.

T-Shirt! It's size L..... can't wear!

Nice hor?

LOL! Boxers..... but too bad, none of you gets to see it.

My first Levi's jeans..... and a gift from Rach.

Elixir strings from US. LOL!

Nice Casing.....

Yeah! It's a wallet!

Finally, officially together and running the race with God.
*Thanks Rach for the gifts! It's really a lot!*

I hope my relationship with Rach will bless many others and allow us to be good examples to the youth. We pray that we'll live up to the standards of our God, whom we trust dearly. He'll be our guide.

More blessings to come.....

Be Blessed!

No More Interviews! - Good or Bad News?

Indeed, I'm really caught by surprise. Was out for dinner with Aurelia mei after my SMU (SCS) interview. The SCS interview wasn't that pleasant for me. In fact, I recalled of a dream that is very identical to the interview setting, esp when one of the guys responded to me before the interview ended.

While having dinner, I received a call from one of the agencies. When she asked whether to hear the good or bad news first, I chose the bad news first. Bad News: You don't have to attend anymore interviews! *STUNTED!* I was thinking that I probably didn't get the HP job I wanted. Then she added..... Good News: You are hired by HP! Start date: 30th July 2007. I was sharing with Aurelia that I wanna start work on 1st August. It seem so prophetic. Best of all, I don't have to attend another interview as mentioned! Now, I owe someone a little coffee treat.

Yes! She'll be back in another 12 hours (est). Everything seems to be falling into place. Better go bathe and rest soon coz I gotta reach church by 12pm tomorrow. =) Littlelamb, gonna hear your voice in half a day's time. Amazing! Send my regards to your mum. *Happy Birthday, Auntie Hazel*

For those who wants to hear my testimony about this job, email me okay?

Be Blessed!

Interviews, Interviews and Interviews

What a week I had! On Tues, I went for HP interview for the position of IT Executive. Yesterday, I went for Jardine OneSolution for interview. To my amazement, even though I think I did the interview on average standard, I managed to get to the 2nd interviews. At this point in time, I'm still sourcing for many other great opportunities, learning the tricks of being interviewed and responding correctly in the best that I can.

One strange thing I discovered and am discovering is His favor over my life and now evidently, my job. I can feel the stress of being in the workforce and that can be really tiring. But nevertheless, I've been really blessed to learn many things about contractual terms and seeking for the best God has given to me. At the moment, I'd still prefer HP's offer even though it's a lower pay. I think it'll be more challenging doing paper work. =)

Probably, it will train my communication skills thru writing better than speech. In any case, I'm still waiting for more interviews and will hope to start work by 1st August! =) It'll be a great joy to work soon. God has been timely for all my financial needs. Just want to praise Him for many other things like providing job interviews, etc.

Littlelamb will be back in 2 days time. Gonna see her on Sunday! =) finally, the wait is over.

Be Blessed!

Interviews

It's been some time since I last updated. I'm currently resting as I'm not feeling well. Caught the cough/flu bug. Definitely not the "Tekong" cough as Gab mentioned. Anyway, I'm going for 2 interviews tomorrow before going for Biblical Studies Program (BSP).

Interestingly, I've been experiencing God's love for me over and over again. It has never been so real and quite tangible. Since last Wed, receiving this particular call changed my perspective of finding jobs. I think it's really divine. I went for the agency interview and was offered a job but after answering questions, both personality and technical tests, I was offered a slightly better job and it's really awesome. But I know, without experience, it's gonna be tough. Nevertheless, I believe God have it in control and I truly believe that He will see me through this.

I've no worries as I believe that I'll stay in this particular company even if the pay is lower. Probably, not too low I guess. No matter what, God is in control. I'll wait and see and taste His goodness over and over again. Life's been better each time I ask Him to renew my mind, heart and soul.

Will update you all the interview results and interview progress tomorrow. I had a call this afternoon for another interview. Cool! 2 interviews side by side and near to each other. However, I believe God is using me and I'm honoured to be used and serving for His purpose. I pray that God will humble me even more during my interviews and be wise in speaking out and pouring out my knowledge to them. I pray that the door will be opened and will stay on for me as I believe it's His Will.

Thanks for those who are praying for me. Just to let you all know that you have blessed my life in big and small ways. You know who you are. Those who received my email will know.

Be Blessed!

ICT is over! Job Hunting NOW!

Finally, ICT ends today at around 4:30pm. The entire day was really tiring as we did really little things and I didn't see a point in retaining us for another day. Nevertheless, all is over and the real work starts now till end of July. I'm pressed for time and money as I need to look for a job urgently.

Been applying for almost 15 or more job applications but no avail. Sensed that I should wait but I don't know the implication of waiting. I've been having part-time job but 'jobless' since graduation. Probably, I yearn too much of having holidays. Now, I'm getting a little bored and need a job as quickly as possible.

Tomorrow is Y.E.S 3! And I'm glad that I can be some part of it. In any case, I should be resting now. Aching all over after the IPPT. Failed running and failed all. Passed all the static stations with silver standard. Guess I should build my running stamina soon. Probably will take again in August/September.

Okay, time to go already. Gonna miss that littlelamb. She's @ Boston now.

Be Blessed!
