wow! Almost a month since i last updated! Sorry peeps, been working. Alright, basically serving my compulsory sch attachment now. Main reason for such attachment is for us to learn, as it is called "Industrial Training Programme". Have I been learning? Well, i would say i did learn, but not much. Work has been hectic and frustrating. The amount of work we do, the type of work we do, seriously aint very nice. But still, all thanx to God for putting me here. God put u in places because he knows that you can handle it, not alone, but with him. He has a purpose for u! Although i'm frustrated at the lack of company's preparation for attachment students and the amount of "sai kang" that we do, still we have to respect our authorities. The bible talks about serving. I want to serve my master well, serve God, but also the authorities that he put before me, that means, my boss. Tough i've to say, but i'll continue to try to show God's love to them. Well guys, if u're struggling at this point of time, wondering WHY WHY WHY do u have to go through these...WHY WHY WHY did God put u where u are... hey, God will only bring to a place where his grace is sufficient for you. Cheeries ya ? Smile !

Another update is that, I RECEIVED MY LETTER FROM MINDEF TO BOOK MY MEDICAL! Gosh, thats kinda fast. haha...but oh well, another place where i can show God's love! Thank God.

Lastly, i wanna thank God for being so real and helpful to me in my past sem. HE STILL IS ! Thank him especially for my results. Last sem was the most hectic sem i eva went through. Took a lot of modules, unlike a normal poly student. Thank God it's all over. But last sem was truly different, i decided that yes, i should not pon lectures because it aint right and i wanna be a testimony to my friends. And oso, i decided to do all my hw so as to keep up with my studies, really wanna do my best so that i can go to SMU (Singapore Management University). Hoping for the best. Results came in last week. All thanx to God! My GPA went up and above my target! My target was a 3. I had nv touched 3 so far. But God helped me out and i got a 3.1492 ! All glory to God!

Altogether my results are :

DCI - B+
ERP - C+
ED - A
IES - C+
IBSM - A
MIS - B
MEC - B
WISP - B

ALL glory to God =) Thank u Jesus! Love ya!

I'll update again when i'm free !

Thank God...really...but my need for you will NEVER end....

Hey peeps...im FINALLY back thanx to ppls' plea for me to update my entries asap. haha...
Well, how shld i start ? Firstly, I gotta really thank God for the past few months. I can still recall when i was still in sch a few months back , i was already wishing this sem would go pass FAST. I mean the stress and all aint really good for one's well being and health u know... but looking at it now, hey, its over ?! haha...
The final papers were of mixed feelings. ERP's application of JD Edwards was pretty gd, thank God for tt. Cuz till now, i doubt i understand wad its for besides integrating all the HR and accounts...etc. As for all the written papers, i would say, DCI was alright, MIS was TOUGH KILLING BAD, and MEC was really good! haha...so those are the ups and downs ba. Oh well, results will soon be out in a week or 2 , so meanwhile, not gonna think bout it. So to all those reading this, juz wanna say that no matter how tough or hard things are, God will still see you through. I mean, im still alive and here aint I ? =) smilez...
Secondly, God has been really been encouraging to me. He has sent many brothers and sisters into my life just to make sure I'm not down and alone. To all the peeps out dere, especially the Detonate youths and even my dear dear class of TT01, thanx so much.
However, this paragragh is where the not-so-gd news are written. So bear wif it k? I've been sent to Sim Lim to do my attachment. Industrial Training Programme (ITP) that is required for me to pass to get my Dip. cert. Todae happens to be my first day of work as well...the timing is pretty weird but relevant since its Sim Lim. Working from 11am-7pm. However, when the person in charge gave me and my fren a short briefing this morning, she said that we're working 6-days week instead of 5.5days. (Dere goes my break...). To make matters worse, the company is participating in a IT show this coming Thurs-Sun at S'pore Expo, entitled "Comex 2006". We have to set up 2 big stalls dere and now we have to tag the prices and codes on all the products individually, pack it up , bring it over and set it up. Did really seriously ALOT of packing todae...and my my...my hands are all cut and my body is all aching already. And to make matters EVEN worse...when we're at the show, we're required to do sales. We were told tt we have to answer customers' qns and there is no break. After the show, we have to pack EVERYTHING up , and bring it back to Sim Lim, unpack EVERYTHING again, and set it up. This is utterly tiring...no break nth...shant talk bout the pay but really am feeling like cheap labour. No doubt we are though. Well, its only the first day, i better start liking doing such "sai kang" haha... , or else, I'm gonna regret for the next 7 weeks. Oh btw, the worse news is that I have to miss church , cell , prayer meeting and music practice. And when i say "Church" , it oso includes my probable absence on Sunday's main service. All thanx to work. The show is frm thurs-Sun , its 12 noon - 9pm. That means gotta go earlier and end later.
Guys, keep me in prayers k? Thanx alot. God reigns and he'll look after both me and you =)

Away...

Boy...i tell u , man can't live on his own strength ! Last few days been pretty rough and tough. Sch stress level went up...was like rushing through lotsa stuff cuz of presentation it was really not easy. Fell sick in the process. But really thank God. My grp managed to do and complete the presentation, all glory and thanx to God. Thanx to a few other peeps who helped us out in the way too! Thank God for ya =)

Ever thought wad education you would be going after your secondary level ? or poly ? or perhaps even JC ? Well, today i visited SMU. The university that i wanna go to after my tertiary education...i would said i ended the day being both motivated and demoralised. I really wanted to go to sch, but after being reminded of their qualifications...seems like a stumbling block. But well, nth is impossible. What i've learn and being reminded of :

" For I know the plans I have for you...declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11

Lets commit our education all unto him. Whatever plans he have for us, remember, its for our own benefit. Its what God wants us to be =) He call , we go. ya ? So as for me , whether I get into SMU or not....or any other uni...etc , its all up to him.

Well guys...don fret! Meanwhile...work hard and excel !

God loves you...

Hey peeps, would encourage u guys to read Psalms 25 , and let that be the cry of our hearts.

"To you, O Lord, I lift up my soul; in you I trust..."
"...Show me your ways, O Lord, teach me your paths; guide me in your truth and teach me,..."

Life has been such a struggle.

School work piling up...project datelines to rush...church commitments...
But you know what guys? No matter wad we go through, wadeva struggles that we're put through, God knows. Pray that God will continue to guide us, granting us wisdom in whatever things we do. Pray for our fellow friends and their families. Talk to God =) You see, God truly loves us. Perhaps at this time, it'll be good if we can all just take juz a min or 2, juz this short while...and lets reflect....

How has God ministered to me all these while ?
How he blessed me with so many friends...
How he helped me in my exams...
How he blessed me with my musical talents or wadeva talents...

You see, God is just so real. Sometimes we feel down cuz it seems that God is no longer there, no longer care about us anymore. But hey peeps, God is ALWAYS there.

"A gem is not gem until it has gone through friction..."

Well, God is moulding us ! His very "gems" are us =) Persevere and strive on!

God bless.

First entry in years!
