Finally met up with Pum and Sarah. Had a quick take-away Mac meal - Double Cheeseburger.
Then I managed to talk to a advisor....Pru advisor with PTO......had a great chat....He is a son of the ID SME company...interesting....he just feel he is not effective that night....so thus I was able to talk to him..... got his namecard....as Sarah and Pum were shopping in the accessories shop. So after that we went walked around...it was quite fast with time it was time quite late....don't really remember what they shopped......slippers, bags and stuff...then since they had not eaten and it was getting late...coming close to 2145....so in the end I suggested we to go Ji De chi - Remember to eat dessert...so Pum shared her experience...and how she went through the period of time after the breakup....the daily wish and getting to meet Jesus after sleep everyday for 4-5months...it was so assuring and affirming of what God has brought me through. My heart was stirred as she shared.. reminded me of my past experience. Remember how God has brought and carried me through these period of time. As for the details I will skip them......
Now it is tuesday 04 May 2010
Interview day and lunch with Huiqun....back to the same place where I had lunch with YP.....yup indeed. Was at clementi early......then just had to sit at Mos burger....drink a normal soda......then read the book on Act like a lady, Think like a man by Steve Harvey. Interesting book. I wish I could read and absorb whatever that is written as quickly as I can. One of the objective it is indeed....there is also a part that my friend Sharon Chia shared with me....with regards to popping the 5 question...the leading question to the start.
So HQ was ontime...she helped me buy my lunch = subway.....yeah....yum yum....with Double Chocolate Chip cookies...my favourite....and YP's too..I think........Perhaps I should pray and seek wisdom with regards to Double Chocolate Chip cookie....write an article on it...haha. chit chat with her...talk about the interview...abit...then on the bus she took back the CD...the 10 CD series on Song of Solomon.....- Initial,Faltering, Transforming, Growing, Mature Love...I wonder what did I miss out or did I get the order correct...reference to previous post then or just hope someone may correct me....CD is bible study from CHC...City harvest Church last year. So she took them back...to prevent me from private sharing...haha.....
The interview went very well....after 15-30 minutes of filling up the form....and before that, I remember the place wrongly....I was at 51 Aries...and it should had being 21, Aquarius...thank God I was slightly early. And thank God for the interview process. I felt that I was much more in control in the interview and gave a good impression ....The interviewer even made an exception that he allows me to give a call to him on Thursday, my final interview.....for clearer direction....I was really touched by that gesture....and really touched by the favour that God gave. After that, I went to Harbourfront, talked to another advisor at Harbourfront. Interesting thing is she is from PTO... she shared with me with regards to flexicash...we talked, chatted.....when I gave her my contacts.....she mentioned she wanted Cashflow 101 program...now only wait for her to find me lol.....formal looking, slightly normal studied Economics. Well interest on how she handle my objections and objectives of mine. We had a good chat...I wonder when will she call me again.....we can really be good friends....without agenda... Well that chatted.....delayed me...and deprieve time from Miss E....apology to Miss E....so got her some HK Central stall side stuff....those snacks.....then spend a short while checking email and FBing. Then I accompanied her to school....short 1-2 hours....then after that I went to meet Pum and Sarah again...haha...this time at AMK....well.....it was a simple meal...they going This Fashion and NTUC. Lots of learning points for the shopping....about Pum, about Sarah who seems quite tired from work...so also arranged for Wednesday :) Just being a pei=ge
Wednesday 05 May 2010
Wednesday - yup woke up as usual I think....dun really remember.....was late to meet Pum at bishan after a short converstation with Mum after a night of slight off-centred heated debate that leads to no where......a last minute decision to go make the ring....SGD 69...finally the step to believe in God....I hope that people will help cover the cost of the ring. The ring design was shared previous in another post
http://multikiller.blogspot.com/2010/04/energy-draining-evening-and-restoration.htmlWent to IMM...shoop shop shop...they just go on shopping....haha Espirit.....and Sarah also bought more things...haha.... We also went Body Shop after we had lunch at Aijen Ramen....I took Aso Ramen - 6.80......standard ramen I will order that is below SGD 10. Yum yum.....bought lots of things at Daiso....also bought a ring box.... a black hearted ring box......to store the ring....not the One ring....haha.... I will try to take a picture and upload for your reference then. Bought quite a lot of boxes.... spent SGD 24....faintz... Then after that ....took bus with them to Queenway shopping centre where we parted as I go straight to Marine Parade... it was quite tight on timing as I will only like have 15 minutes...and it will lead me to no dinner later. Thus it will be better for me to go straight and have time for dinner...which I did and I took a satifactory Nasi Lamak Dinner. Ok Congre meeting was great....great worship, great presence of God...and we ended quite ontime....also there was discussion of the upcoming Food Road trip...yeah..that is great.. Get to know the other cell members more. The better thing is I get to wait for YP after the whole thing....well she had her private meetup....thus due to the fact I need to find out something from her, so I had to wait, sitting at the next table. The "killing" moment is when all the pastors came.......oh gosh....I was like...."oh man, oh God, why am I here...caught red-handed".....well I only remind my self that I am here of a clear objective...to find out the rent and availibity of YP's HDB flat. Trying to take train....haha..I was like thinking...very tough though. I am glad and thank God that the pastor didn't come and ask.....dun really know what is going thru their mind...but that does not matters any way. I was just prepared to answer whatever they ask...Thank God... :)...So I just waited....trying not to evadrop....focusing on my book, focusing myself on the task at hand. Time just spare me when Pastor came over and soon they are leaving....and soon YP + + also going....my wait was finally ended. So walked with them....it was a slow walk.....a simple walk....but yet as I reflect back, it is also a time of great relief and intense. :)
So it was a FO - Focused Objective....so I went quite straight to the point.....didn't leak out even she asked me before travelling. Well, I felt it will rob her of attention from + + +...thus I will record here as it to be...as I kept my silence when she wanted to ask me before hand. In the end, it was still a enjoyable time with her....as she is tired after her session...and now have to endure through my session of asking...... woah she took leave.....on wednesday and another day.......a good time to take a rest from the peak period......with another peak coming...I hope that I didn't disrupt her rest... :)......well to me....haha..she still questioned why didn't I call or message....I just replied...well with apologies, that it is still tough for me to call or message, since I can catch her then, I better catch her then.... Quite not so good yet direct answer. Well, I believe I just enjoyed the time with her alone.... So back home on the cab together.....So it was really a great Wednesday.
Thursday 06 May 2010
Thursday, after a great and enjoyable day on Wedneday. The interview (final) briefing of the job...the morning briefing...all about the work start, pre-roadshow rara....everything seems so normal....just like in theory...just like what I had always observed from others...it is now more towards the doing part...the application and practical. In my heart, it is like.....oh man I know all these, it is just how and why can't I do it the same way they do.....or have the same efficient as them. So review after review...I think I go through them....however as we head off to the field...so it is approaching the people...seeing them how they approach...so as I see them, I was just thinking....."May I willling to do that?" " How long will I have to do that" " How effective can I be"...in the end, due to the fact I have other options and I only had one shirt, I seeked for an earlier evaluation, gave my feedback that if this were only to be the last option, I will give my 100% if I were to be in it. Superbly honest answer and like the same as the one I gave during the interview, the first round of interview...so I left like 2pm, 2+hours before the end of the whole day interview...coz I think I don't think I will change my stand...and I don't really need the time to understand more...it becomes pretty clear to me....it is a matter now to whether I want to do it or not do it. So I left....getting the contacts of the leader...and off I went... very clear cut.
So I went off to exchange thai baht for Miss E to give to Pum to give Yokie... so money changed at Golden mile...which was advised to be not the best choice....well...and the service there...really CMI...perhaps the next time I will go both Golden Mile and Mustafa. Well changed the $$$...went to look for Miss E at her workplace...and by God's grace, I managed to meet Christian Chong on the bus.. he is on the way to the same place as me....oh God...how Godly arranged that can be? Christian Chong is going there to meet the same person I wanted to....he was trying to register for a chinese cooking course...I just there to get a free treat for myself. The crazy thing is we sat there for like 2 hours, talking talking talking...about my friday interview which I only received the call on Wednesday ....and I called on today morning to try to double confirmed because they didn't send me the details. ..so Christian and I was talking about...I talking with him about his job, how is he...well the details....they are just details....the only key things is meeting Christian on the bus.....God you are just God of divine arrangement.....really know how to use me to bless him.....so after that...the other crazy thing that I did was when Christian said you and Miss E are 姐妹, I just agreed and then I just grabbed Miss E arm and pulled her towards me.....faintz....gosh as I think back...what was I thinking at that time...perhaps I was really so tired, after a heated debate with my mum and wednesday frutiful event? anyway what is done is done.....eat other people 豆腐 and well...in public place....gosh...I better increase my aleertness when I am just tired.....gosh...in anotherway, I view it as how comfortable I am with Miss E already...perhaps....but I am glad still my policy still stand...and all the requirement in the paper "Reason for choosing a mate" still is valid. Not going to share those as it is still under review. Anyway there are many stories before and after this as I typing this blog now...which well..I will choose to skip them...as the nature will be around the same.... I am geting overwhelm with the many things I need to do....
So after that, meet up with Patrick Tan (LN). He is someone whom he know me via HT...which I had to search back my memory file to remember him....well...after some check through, I finally know who he is, and his background profile. The key thing I searched was his age.....basically very plainly put...to know how potential is he....the usual things....also to clarify that he is not as in term of the age as I think he is. We chatted from 1830 all the way to 2300....including dinner time and also coffee. That is like 4.5 hours....woah....can I spend so much time with YP?....I dun really know whether I can....haha.....4.5 hours with Patrick Tan...yes I did it....PT....you are more important/more loved than YP...haha......woah....faintz......well the fact is you are a guy and not a girl...haha...faintz....out of point....anyway....I learned alot about him.....how God is so different with him than with me....from him, I learned quite a fair bit.....well for the details.....as again...I am just too tired now to type them.....so let's skip the details...for now. Back home just around midnight...and rest and preparation for the interview...with all the necessary documents....IC, Deedpoll....oh gosh it is that Birth Certificate again....well...just screw it and let God handle it tomorrow.
Friday 07 May 2010
Finally the morning has arrived. The dream job interview has arrived. I woke up quite early, worn my father's shirt as mine really CMI already. It was a little rush...as I didn't really much time to eat....was trying to be there ontime....thus I go, hoping to get a meal...and also to get my Birth certificate photocopied. Thank God the one who attended to me was nice and she was willing to photocopy mine....since I was early, I went downstairs to the cafertia, spend SGD 2 to eat my breakfast.. didn't get anything to drink. thus I went upstairs and Thank God there is a water dispenser. Drank 2 cups of water...yes...indeed 2 cups of water...before interview....woah ....that is one of the jinx/not to do during the interview.... Even when the interviewer offered a drink, I reject it saying that I wouldn't really want to do what I should do during an interview. => go toilet....so I started the interview with that note...so There is the Xinghua Primary School Principal. The Senior Specialist and another HR executive. So the interview begins. Asking about why I want to be a AED Councillor: Student Councillor. What do I envision myself as a Student Councillor. Why did I choose the path as I have taken. The background of me...My weakness. Why I should be a Student Councillor. What would I do if I was not selected. I was just answering the question and presenting myself. I was presenting to the point that the Senior Specialist said that I don't have enough time for that last question...why they should not consider me as a student councillor. Details of my answer: Mentioned about the 9 year old boy doing something funny with this older girl. About how parenting is not about quantity but quality of time spent. What are the factors that affected my choice of course and mentioning that I could only make the best choice at this very moment. Mentioning that I will try again next year if I were not selected when I come to knowledge of such an opening. Interview lasted to the point that I have no time to ask any HR question...perhaps I should pop HR question later.... so that is the morning....then I just went toa payoh to wait for my parent to go storhub...I went to Mos burger to get a drink...and continued reading the book...then after finishing...I went to Library to read another book instead. I found that entitled: What We can never know by David Gamez. I just borrow the book..but yet to have a chance to start reading it.. It talks about the blindspot of philosophy and science....so waited till about 12noon, dose on and off while reading the book in the cool environment. So finally the time came.....so start to pack the few boxes....I only managed to reduce 1 box to 0.5 to 0.75 filled.....and it took me like hours to do that...in the hot and stuffy environment. ...so did till 3+pm...then had a difference with my dad with regards to my game...which thank God on Wednesday, XR and Lionel were kind enough to accept the games from me..3 boxes of them....woah....thank God for them....thank God that he answered my prayer...and then after that...went to visit Grace Wee....Wee Wee....saw a great idea of a photo entage?..borrowed 3 books from her....
1. Men are like Waffles; Women are like Spagehetti by Bill and Pam Farrel
2. A Woman After God's Own Heart by Elizabeth George
3 Lady in Waiting - Becoming God's Best While waiting for Mr Right by Jackie Kendall & Debby Jones
Great book harvest from her place...thank God for that...I also already bought book covers to protect them...so that I can read them in peace.
So stayed there....Chanmin came......so talked talked talked......I just listen to them talking.....then Wee Wee showed her young photos...haha.....she looks more different...haha. Watch drama...then listening to Wee Wee story....and so many guest in her house....woah...Wee Wee...haha
So then went home and prepare for Saturday...oh gosh......6am prayer meeting at TC.....well just sleep lol....after checking FB and email.....
