Enjoying Life with YOU is all I ask for...

Interview!!!

I cant believe I will be going for an interview with DFS Venture Singapore (Pte) Ltd. Woohoo!! haha. Its really God's blessing. I just sent my resume yesterday, and prayed for openings last night, and today they called!!! This position is actually Merchandising Assistant. It's jobscope is totally different from what I am doing, basically I do not have the experience or merchandising certification for this position. And at the moment when I sent my resume over, it was just simply testing and trying. I din expect them to call me or arrange an interview with me. So, it's really a blessing from God! Who am I to deserve such a surprise and gift from Him? haha.

Well, upon seheduling the appointment with them, the next thing I did was to look up on the Company's Website. It's in the business of world's leading luxury retailer!!! It's an MNC and working location is at Orchard. Their employee's benefits are fantastic!!! And what's more, its challenging and have room for advancement. I will definitely learn and experience a tremendous change in my career!!! haha. I am really excited. But, of cos, as usual, I will not be the only candidate. And, its really not easy to get in.

Somehow, I am struggling with fear. Fear of rejection from companies. I rememebered the last interview with HP was really unforgettable. I was pin down to the ground. The moment I got out of the company, tears really flow like water tap. And I am really afraid that they would give me on spot checking of skills. Like giving you a lappy and you are expected to do up an excel sheet out of their requirements. Goodness. haiz. But I know, whether successful or not, every interview is an experience. And at least, I am given an opportunity to get interview by an MNC! That's already a confirmation that I have the calibre. haha. Well, I believe God will have His way in me. All I have to do, is to be confident, and go in the Name of Jesus Christ! Yeah. I believe the Holy Spirit will guide me in my speech and He will lead me to Victory!I have an attiude of Christ!! That's what most of the candidates do not have. haha. Do pray for me guys, for a calm heart, and that the interviewers will find favor in me. haha.

So, I have to take another half day leave tomorrow. alamak. But no choice. if they have to deduct in exchange of a brighter future, that's worth it! haha. Another good news to share, I got my payslip today!! Remembered that I told you I am eligible for unpaid leave yesterday? I already taken 1.5 days of unpaid leave in the month of Feb. And, I was told by my colleagues that there are chances that my pay will get deducted this end month. But, when I opened up my payslip, there is no deductions!! Praise God!! Haha. ALso, this morning, my customer requested that my Sales Engineer to bring me to their Office tml!! Yeah. Which means I will come for work at 1.15pm( after 0.5 day leave), and leave for customer's place at 2.30pm and I can go off from there. There is no need to come back to the office!! Yeah. Coming for work for only 1hr 15mins. haha. My customer's place is at Upp Thomson, near church, so it will only be a short journey home. haha!!! Tml will be exciting! Will update you guys again!

By God's grace, I am blessed...

Its's Wednesday...

It's Wednesday!!! The mid day of the working week. haha. I almost overslept today. Goodness, I heard the alarm, and went back to sleep. Then, only 10 mins later that I woke up. And, I rushed like my house is on fire. hahaha. By God's grace, I reached just in time, 8.44am. 1 min earlier before my reporting time. haha. I really cant afford to go for mc or take any leave already. I am already eligible for unpaid leave!!! If you get my cold joke. haha.

Since 8.45am till now, basically I can tell you I am actually shaking leg and eating snake. THERE IS NOTHING TO DO!!!!!!!!!!!!! Haiz. I am really getting sick of this working life. I hate to get money without actually working. That isn't satisfying at all! It is really destroying my life, and eating up my soul! Every min passed as if its is 1 year!

Well, I already started my Job Searching Plan. hahahah. Pray that there will be news. I need something more challenging and fast-paced. Current job cannot fufill my needs. haha. Well, I realised I am abit slacken nowadays. Time to buck up on my ministry. haha.

Recently I am stressed up for my Driving Practical which is next Thursday. I am still not very good in parking. Will have 4 more Circuits Practical before that very big day!!! haha. I am really praying for a 1 time pass, or else, I am really spending too much of my hard-earned money into this. So guys, don't learn driving for the sake of learning. Learn when there is a need and when you have the capability to do so. I regret learning at this point of time. I spent alomost +/- 1.5k in this. Very ex ok. haha. That's the consequences for being prideful. :(

Well, I am waiting to knock off actually. 22 mins more. haha. Oh just a reminder, Leaders of HLC will be fasting from 10am onwards for prayer meeting tomorrow. If you are reading my post right now, you are encouraged to fast along side with us for the Church. haha. Have a full breakfast people so that it can last you for sometime. haha

See you... :)

Knock Knock Knock,

God will always show me the goodness in bad times...

Seems that I am singing this song these few days, "God will make a way, when there seems to be no way. He works in ways we cannot see, He will make a way for me." haha. Smiles are what I am trying to do bring forth recently. There are certain things which men can never understand when we share. So, I can only look upon God. Even, when I looked upon God, I just sat there quietly and speak to him. Though I do not know how to express myself in words or in emotions towards God, I knew my tears have a way to communicate with Him. And definitely, I feel much better after that. haha. Probably somehow or rather, I have got on the wrong track and lost my sense of direction. Time for my Holy Spirit to guide me back home. . .

Recently, I have been in a pool of mess. Mess in work, mess in relationship, mess in ministry and mess in myself. Seems so scary. I have been blurred by a mist of what I really want in life. I am in a transistional period, I would say. Well, I think you guys are confused of what I am trying to say. haha. But, I think I am confused myself. I will sort out my thoughts tonight when I seek God. haha.

Time for something good. Last saturday, HLC had a fantastic service with Rev. Mary Tan. We learnt about ATTITUDE! And I believed I am much equipped by her words of edification. haha. I prayed that you guys would feel the same. Indeed your Attitude determines your Altitude! Thats what Pastor Peter always says. Your Attitude determines how far in life you will go and how successful in life you will be. But the problem is, its hard to realise that your attitude has a problem. If one does not realise that his attitude has gone haywire, then how can he fine-tune it? haha. So, each and everyone of us are important, because, we will be doing the job of reminding. We always remind ur peers when they has a wrong attitude in life. But one must also be humble enough to accept this fact. I admit that my attitude has a problem at times, and someimes I admit for being prideful that I refused to listen to the fact. Guess another new year resolution for this year is to be humble and true to myself. Haha.

I pray that the rain will stop and allow me to see the beautiful sky again. haha.

Lastly, HAPPY BIRTHDAY PAULINE!! Finally its your day! haha. May the good Lord bless you abundantly! Yeah.

Shine again,
Freda

One month passed so swiftly...

Once again, unknowingly, my "Big Aunt" came to visit me today. This is the first day. And as usual, I went to the loo several times today. But, thank God, it does not hurt as much as in Jan. Haha. But still, it hurts. What am I talking. haha.

I am very nervous for tml's cell Meeting. This will be the first time that we will be holding it at Sylvia's place. Somehow, I can foresee that there will probably be around 10 pax attending cell tml. haha. And it is very challenging to me. Preaching in front of them and leading Praise & Worship to 10 pax? Gosh, 3 big drops of sweat.

Well, I believe God is with me to overcome this. haha. Sermon topic is out, still waiting for Pastor to approve it, and I prayed that it will edify all of you. haha. I spent around 2.5hrs just to prepare this sermon. And I ended up sleeping at 2.30am last night. Arrived Office with beautiful Panda Eyes. haha.

All Poly Students are having exams now. Go people! You guys can make it, because our Almighty God is with you. But of cos, please do your part by studying for your particular module. Don't expect getting an A when you dun study. haha. God will not give you such miracle. haha.

Ok, random post. Please work hard all, and I will see all of you tml for cell. Cya!

Cell Leader,

Freda

Its Friday!!!

Hi Guys, this is my first formal post for the month of February. haha. Have been very busy since the start of this month. Busy with CNY & Valentine's Event. Finally all is over. haha. I am feeling kind of lethagic actually. BECAUSE I PUT ON WEIGHT!!! Appetite has been extremely good this month. I just cant stop eating! haha. Gosh, if you see me level another size, please inform me. haha. At least I will paiseh for a while and reflect. haha.

Lunar New Year has been great. God has been very kind to me this year. He gave me a breakthrough Ang Pao Collection of $300+. I have never collected so much bofore. haha. Thanks to my Lovely Heavenly Father. He saw my needs & meet it. This amount is very important to me as they are for my driving fees. haha. I am currently learning circuit, which means there is an increase in $23 for the circuit each time I learn. Each driving just makes my heart vomits blood. Just for that 1.5h of driving lesson, I spent $62. That makes up $248 a month. To add on to it, my driving practical date is nearing, thus I have to have more lessons. So, these amount comes into play. haha. Just for your info, my parking skills just cannot make it. Faint. Well, I believe I can make it. God says I can! haha.

Oh another good news to share!! I will be going HongKong for a shopping spree in July. haha. Air tickets have been booked! I will be going with momo and Dawn. And 2 more yet to confirm. haha. Its getting exciting! Yeah. Don't miss me then. haha.

So suddenly, I am craving for Sakae Buffet. haha. Will I be eating it any sooner??? EAT EAT EAT! That's what Freda knows. haha. Don't faint people. I have many skills actually, eating is just one of them. hhaa.

Something better to share la. Today I did a good thing, I finally asked my colleague for more customers. I told her I am really bored with what I am currently having. I mean I have too much excess time to do my own stuff. haha. And she said great. It's very rare to see people initiate for more work. Of cos la, I am child of God, a Christian, different. I am more helpful. haha. And she said, she will settle down, and sort out which customers she can pass down to me!!! Yeah. Finally more work. haha.

Thanks to those who have helped Edmund and I in our UnWind - Be My Valentine Project. I hoped you guys have enjoyed yourself in the whole event. This is our first project and I believe there are loopholes here and there, and believe us, we are learning from it. Through this project, I realised we have missed out many little details. And hosting is one of our very big barrier, but WE MADE IT! All thanks to God! So much of priasing myself in the event. haha. However, I would like to thank all for your participation and bearing of our weaknesses. Thank you.

Waiting to knock off. Bye!!!!!

Love,

Freda

Hugh Grant & Drew Barrymore - Way Back Into Love Lyrics

I've been living with a shadow overhead
I've been sleeping with a cloud above my bed
I've been lonely for so long
Trapped in the past, I just can't seem to move on

I've been hiding all my hopes and dreams away
Just in case I ever need em again someday
I've been setting aside time
To clear a little space in the corners of my mind

All I want to do is find a way back into love
I can't make it through without a way back into love
Oh oh oh

I've been watching but the stars refuse to shine
I've been searching but I just don't see the signs
I know that it's out there
There's got to be something for my soul somewhere

I've been looking for someone to shed some light
Not just somebody just to get me throught the night
I could use some direction
And I'm open to your suggestions

All I want to do is find a way back into love
I can't make it through without a way back into love
And if I open my heart again
I guess I'm hoping you'll be there for me in the end

There are moments when I don't know if it's real
Or if anybody feels the way I feel
I need inspiration, not just another negotiation

All I want to do is find a way back into love
I can't make it through without a way back into love
And if I open my heart to you
I'm hoping you'll show me what to do
And if you help me to start again
You know that I'll be there for you in the end
