Left brain dominant individuals are more orderly, literal, articulate, and to the point. They are good at understanding directions and anything that is explicit and logical. They can have trouble comprehending emotions and abstract concepts, they can feel lost when things are not clear, doubting anything that is not stated and proven.Right brain dominant individuals are more visual and intuitive. They are better at summarizing multiple points, picking up on what's not said, visualizing things, and making things up. They can lack attention to detail, directness, organization, and the ability to explain their ideas verbally, leaving them unable to communicate effectively.Overall you appear to be Left Brain Dominant-----------------------------------------According to Darwinian theory, optimal evolution takes place with random variation and selective retention. The evolution savvy individual will try many different approaches when faced with a problem and select the best of those approaches. Many historical intellectuals have confessed their advantage was simply considering/exploring/trying more approaches than others. The left brain dominant type suffers from limited approaches, narrow-mindedness. The right brain dominant type suffers from too many approaches, scatterbrained. To maintain balanced hemispheres, you need to exercise both variability and selection. Just as a company will have more chance of finding a great candidate by increasing their applicant pool, an individual who considers a wider set of options is more likely to make quality decisions.
I took this test at the following website:

Ah...I have a lot of inner turmoil going on. I almost succumbed to temptation and did something that I know God wouldn't be pleased with. So far, I'd managed to resist this temptation. But there was a time when I came close to giving in. It was very, very, very close. This temptation went away after awhile. But it came back today. I was very close to giving in too. Too close. Haiz. I want to give in to it, but the thought that it is not pleasing to God and plus some other factors, I didn't. Thank God. From this, I truly understand what others mean when they said that temptation will always come back. Haiz. This is bad.
I wonder why am I so concerned with pleasing God? I am no goody-two-shoes. It seemed to me that I didn't seemed so concerned about other stuff, like QT, going to church. I know that these are important and I'd feel bad when I don't do them like I should and do other less important things. But I'd still not do these things from time to time. So, why didn't I give in to this temptation?? Why am I concerned with incurring with the wrath of God, regarding this matter?
Hmm...as I typed these words out, to a certain extent, I understood why I didn't give in to this temptation. Ya.
Well, would love to continue blogging, but I have to go. I've a course to attend in church..=) Don't feel like going, though I know that it'll help me, 'cause I don't feel like dragging myself down. Too much trouble, my body seems to think. But, I'll go. I shouldn't depend on my feelings, let them dictate when and what I should do things. I know that this course is helpful to me and it'll help in my ministry with God. So....
Ciaoz..........=)
P/S: Oh ya...I've completed the 3-day course and aced the test...=) Yahoo!!!!!!!! Thank God!
*I am thinking of you now, but I choose to ignore this thought and go prepare for the trip to church. So there.*

I was chatting on MSN with a fellow colleague. We knew each other when we went for the company's 3-day training at Queenstown. She commented that I seem happy now, working and all, my life, she meant..Ahh....I replied something...but...now...I CAN'T remember!!!! Arrrgghhh......
Lousy memory..Haiz
But I know that I said something, something that I'd felt from the bottom of my heart. Okay...
Not to say that I'm not happy, but I am not completely satisfied with where I am now. An abundant life, full of meaning and purpose is waiting for me. Surely I can't and won't continue to be working like this for the rest of my life. I am thankful for all that God has given me. For I know that these jobs are provided by the Lord.
Ah...so much confusion.
Once again, I have to give thanks to the Lord for His providence. Today, it was quite quiet at the pushcart. Many people walked by, but few stopped to browse. I had thought that today's sales would be bad. But the Lord had demostrated His grace and mercy. Thank God!!!=) Thank God for providing! For each and every of the customers were brought by the Lord..
Hmm...I wrote something at work, today, in Mandarin, while waiting for time to pass. Here you go....
好想，好想 你！！
想你！想你！想你！！
这二字说再多
也无法表达
我对你的思念。
好想对你说出‘喜欢’的言语。
喜欢你！ 喜欢你！
每当你对我微笑时，
我不由自主地有一股冲动
想把心交给你。
你在哪儿？？
想见你! 想见你！
我想立刻见到你的身影！
希望你会把我拥入怀里。
最特别的存在，
你是否能了解，
负有着这份情感的我？？
What do you think??? Comments...=)

At the crossroad of my life, with so many roads to choose from, all the consequences unknown, what should I do, O Lord? Whichever way it shall be, all I ask, Lord, is that the road be the one that pleases You.

With All I Am
Into Your hands I commit again
With all I am for You Lord
You hold my world
In the palm of Your hand
And I am Yours forever
Jesus I believe in You
Jesus I belong to You
You're the reason that I live
The reason that I sing with all I am
I walk with You
Wherever You go through tears
and joy
I trust in You
I believe in all of Your ways
Your promises forever
I will worship
I will worship You
This was one of the 2 songs that we sang in SG yesterday. Wonderful lyrics. It really shows how small we are and how big God is.
Hmm...everytime I come back from work, I'd have some thanksgiving to share. I hope that you are not tired of reading about it, for I do not tire of speaking of God's goodness...=)
It was quiet at the pushcart today. Though there were many people, due to school holidays and that there was an event, sales weren't that good. It was only $130.40 when it was 2000. I was like, okie...so, it is going to be like this today..I was kind of disappointed, though I'd told God that I'd accept whatever sales He gives me. It was after I came back from buying dinner and was halfway through, that the money started rolling in. I was kept busy for the next 40 mins, serving one customer after the next, without a breather. From $130.40, the sales became almost 3 times more...God is wonderful, isn't He??? Praise the Lord fo His mercy, generousity, grace and providence. As the place was in a mess, I started on damage control. When I was at the front of the cart, keeping a shirt, these words blared at me through the player, "All Things Are Possible!! All things are POSSIBLE!!" Amazing, is it not? Because, at that exact moment, I was quite amazed and thankful that the sales could jump from a lowly 100 to almost thrice its original amount. I was humbled. Deep down, I hadn't believed that it could have happened. Well, it did. God has shown it to me. Nothing is impossible for the Lord Almighty.
During the afternoon, as the cart was pretty quiet, I took out my Bible. I was planning to read the book of Ecclesiastes, as it semed to me that I'd come across this chapter for the 2nd time in less than a week. First in the last session of the Network course and the second time was yesterday, when I was with Jared. I thought that God may be trying to speak to me, thus I turned to that book. Hmm...now, I can't remember, but I'd somehow came to the book of Isaiah. Isaiah 28:23-29, to be exact. Reading these verses, I wa amazed and humbled at the ways of the Lord. Not only did He create the universe and everything in it, He gave knowledge to man. He taught the farmer when to plow, to break up the ground and harrow the soil, to level the surface, to sow caraway and scatter cummin, to plant wheat, barley and spelt. He taught us how to work with the crops. Indeed, God is wonderful in counsel and magnificient in wisdom.
I've come to realize (with the help of Abby) that, every customer that I have, is the providence of God. It is the Lord who brought them to me, to browse through things and to buy things. How MUCH God cares for us??? SO MUCH.

Hmm...I didn't do much today...Woke up in the morning..I hid in the room and went online for awhile, as my eldest sister was home.
At around 1100, I went to bathe and prepared to go out to meet Abby. She is from my SG (Small Group) in church. I was quite troubled and need some advice regarding this business. We met up at Park Mall at 1300. Before that, I went to the Starhub Customer Care Centre to have my SIM card replaced.
We talked over lunch. I discovered that there are many aspects to consider and pray about. It is alot of work, makes me want to give up. But I know that I can't afford to.
After lunch, we went over to where our BS was held. I left at 1620, as I was meeting Jared at the MRT. I am sort of bringing to my church. Thank God that he wants to try out my church...=) I felt that today's sermon was meaningful to me. It was about giving. Helping those poor and needy. The sermon verses are Proverbs 14:20-22. It spoke to me. This doesn't only applies to helping those who are in need of money, but also those who are poor in spirit, emotionally, spiritually. I find that I need to have a more giving heart, especially when money is concerned. I need to have more compassion too..=) It is humbling for me, to admit that I am tight-fist where money is concerned.
We went for dinner after service. As we were on the way to the foodcourt, Jared suggested watching Star Wars Episode III - Revenge of the Sith. We went to get tickets. While we were in the line, a lady approached him, asking if we were going to watch Stars Wars at 2000. We were. She told us that she'd some tickets, but she and her friends couldn't make it, so she asked if we wanted them. Of course, we want!!!=) Thank God!! Yes?? God had provided!! I believe that there are no coincedences in this world. Everything happened for its purpose. Later, we proceeded to the food court to fill our somachs. I had an enjoyable time talking with him. We talked about stuff. Like the recent movie - Kingdom of Heaven. The Crusades. Church. NS. Star Wars. Blah....
The movie started at 2015. For the next 2 hrs and 10 mins, I was constantly blinded by the flash of the Jedis' laser sabres. Flash! Flash! As they swung their swords and parried, I was trying hard not to get blind. It was difficult, at moments, to see the fight. All I can say was that it is quite good. I enjoyed this movie more than Kingdom of Heaven, which made me quite distressed when I saw the killings, slashings, piercings, cuttings and maulings of bodies.
We headed for home after the movie. Jared boarded his bus first, but mine came not after, about 5 minutes...Reached home around 2330. Started up the computer.
Hmm...sorry for the lack of details on my day...Ah...I want to sleep..Oh..my shop is having a 15% sale, you may want to drop by to get the stuff that you'd been eyeing, but held back as you thought them to be too expensive. The sale will last till 14 jun. 15% off all items, except buttons, magnets and caps...=)

Hmmm....Today's sales was great!!! Really have to thank God!! Ahh....mere words can't describe my feelings..It had been quite tough the past month, as sales was pretty bad. When I looked at my colleague's sales record, I'd felt lousy, inferior. I began to wonder if it was because of me that sales ws lousy. Was I rude? Was I ugly? Was I fat? It really was a tough period. But, slowly, I began to trust God, that He'd provide what is sufficient and to accept with a heart of thanksgiving fir whatever He gives. Though, at times, I'd still feel bad, like, why am I doing poorer than my colleague? Is it because I wasn't perky enough??
Slowly, really slowly, I didn't care that much for comparison. I just thank God for whatever He provides. This is all thanks to God for providing a good boss and to my boss for being understanding and their encouragements..=)
You know, as the money was rolling in today, I kept reminding myself that it wasn't by any work of mine, that people are buying stuff. It is God who brought them here. It is God. God. Not little old me. Definitely not. I do not have the power nor strength. I'd to keep reminding myself, so that I do not get proud and forget who has given me all these.
All glory and honour to the Lord who has so generously gave so much!!!
Ronny came by at 2000. I'd wanted to meet him tomorrow morning to discuss some things with him, but he couldn't make it as he has friends coming over. I was really nervous about talking to him regarding the business issues. I prayed about it whenever I have some free time in between customers. I'd some concerns regarding our point of view and process of seeking the Lord. Let's just say that we have different working styles, personality, opinions, spiritual thinkings. No, we didn't argue. Please pray for us. We are taking a week to pray and seek God. Pray for us, whatever you feel led by the Spirit...=) Thanks from both of us....

Ah well....I met Ronny today to pass him the cookies and to discuss our business. When we were in a lift, I discovered that my handphone was missing...Ahhh....Ronny called my handphone, but the person cut off the call, when he tried calling a second time, the call was diverted to my voicemail.
Hmmm...I am not particulary upset with the loss. It's not that I'm very rich, so I don't care if I'd lost it. Ha...Even I can't explain why I wasn't upset. Weird, huh? It is a loss, in the sense that I've some messages stored inside my inbox, which are pretty important to me. Those SMSs had once encouraged me. Some were sweet messages from friends. Now, I'm racking my brain to see if there's anyone in the phonebook whom I may not be able to contact again...I prayerfully hope that there aren't any...Haiz. This handphone is a birthday present from a group of friends....
But, I am okay with it...Yup..=) Just some inconvenience....

"The LORD gave and the LORD has taken away; may the name of the LORD be praised."
Hmm...who knows it may be a blessing in disguise and I'll get a newer handphone model???=P Besides, I'd a free meal, courtesy of Ronny...haha...
Ah...I'd hate to spend alot on a new phone. I can't get a new line, as I've just signed a 2-yr contract, at the beginning of last year (I think, I can't remember...), in order to get a new phone for my mom, as hers was faulty.
Today is the last session of the Network course. I've got a ride home from Freddie...hee...I'd passed him the cookies and some leaflets that Shuhui had printed for me...=)

Hmmm...this will be a short one..I'd wanted to go jogging this morning..but it was raining and I was too lazy to carry an umbrella down to the gym..anyway, I'd to bake my cookies..
I'd finished baking the chocolate chip, oatmeal & raisin cookies. I've baked 1 batch of ginger cookies, for my TL (the one I get along better with..he's working night shift today)..the rest of the ginger batter is in the fridge, which I'll finish off as soon as I get home from work...
Ya...I'm working today..An hour earlier than yesterday, at 1600...Haiz...Oh well, at least I'll be working with my favourite TL..=) and consider the money...one more hour means more money...I guess I'd make do with it...haha....=D
Ahhh....I pronounce today's baking session a GREAT SUCCESS!!! Thank God!! Hmm...as I mentioned some time earlier, there was some problem with the oatmeal & raisin cookies. They turned out hard, not crispy and crunchy.. This cookie is taking some time to stablise..maybe I should have followed the recipe exactly??? But, thank God, today's oatmeal & raisin cookies are good, if I may say so myself..I've packed a bag for my TL. I am leaving the others for Freddie (the speaker for the Network course), Ronny and a new friend I'd made in my working place (she works in the pushcart besides mine)...=P
Hmmm...I've got to prepare to leave for work..=) Get changed, keep the cooling cookies and get my stuff...
I'll try my best not to be affected by what others say about me..For my security is in Christ Jesus! Who cares about what others say? I do..but I know that what others say, doesn't affect who I am to God and to my friends..

I'm on a roll..it seems like I've been updating alot these few days...
Well, I can't help it...So many things had happened..
Work today was okie...time passed pretty fast and I didn't see my manager (thank God!). I'd even put into use some of the things which I'd learnt during last week's 3-day course. Hmm..Time sure flies, yes? It's like yesterday that I went for the course. But in actual fact, it'd had been almost a week...
Ah....I embarrassed myself at work today. I must have caused some inconvenience for my TL (Team Leader. I've 2 TLs..I get along better with the other one. The TL whom I am working with today is closer to my age..) ArrggHHH......I feel stupid...*hides face* I seem to like doing stupid things when I'm working with this TL...Ahhhh....*cries*..
Let me tell you why I am mad (mad as in angry, not crazy) and sad..A boy came in asking for Eye Mo. The first word that came out of his smart-aleck mouth (not that I am prejudiced against him, but the way he spoke and acted just now, suggested that he is a smart-aleck), was "AUNTIE!"
ARRRGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH............................
How can I not be MAD and SAD????
That idiot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
When I do qualify for that catergory, I'd be sure to send him a mail to inform him!
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr...............................
Made a mistake when I computerized the machine to total today's sales. Thank God that I happened to look at the slip of paper before I stapled them...Normally, I don't check the slip of paper, but I don't know why I did today. Thank God!! If not, I'm going to be in some trouble tomorrow...=)
God is good.
Ah...Had a craving for chocolate, so on the way home, I stopped by 7-Eleven to buy a Time Out..Yum...=p Hmm...in a way, it can be comfort food too, after that nasty boy who shot off his mouth, like nobody's business...
Heh.
Hmmm...I'll be turning in early today...I've got to wake up early tomorrow (@ 0700) to jog and bake cookies..Yum!!!! I can't wait to bake my favourite chocolate chip and ginger cookies!! Absolute cookie heaven!=)
Listening to a song from Fushigi Yuugi - Setsunakutemo Zutto, sung by the man (林延年...It seems like a chinese name, right? Well, the guy is a Japanese..) who voice subbed for Tasuki. My Winamp is set to repeat this song over and over...=P

Made a mistake when I computerized the machine to total today's sales. Thank God that I happened to look at the slip of paper before I stapled them...Normally, I don't check the slip of paper, but I don't know why I did today. Thank God!! If not, I'm going to be in some trouble tomorrow...=)
God is good.
Ah...Had a craving for chocolate, so on the way home, I stopped by 7-Eleven to buy a Time Out..Yum...=p Hmm...in a way, it can be comfort food too, after that nasty boy who shot off his mouth, like nobody's business...
Heh.
Hmmm...I'll be turning in early today...I've got to wake up early tomorrow (@ 0700) to jog and bake cookies..Yum!!!! I can't wait to bake my favourite chocolate chip and ginger cookies!! Absolute cookie heaven!=)
Listening to a song from Fushigi Yuugi - Setsunakutemo Zutto, sung by the man (林延年...It seems like a chinese name, right? Well, the guy is a Japanese..) who voice subbed for Tasuki. My Winamp is set to repeat this song over and over...=P

Ha...The skies are overcast..=) I am referring to the weather, not my mood...
Thunder is rumbling in the background..
You know, sometimes, I really don't like blogspot.com. Look at the entry entitled 'Long Day'. Some of the paragraphs are mashed together, into a huge chunk. I sure didn't do that when I was typing out the entry. Nevermind, so I went to edit it just now. Look.....it is still the same!! Bah!
Heh.
Lousy.
Hmm...I woke up at 5 mins to 9. I was planning and hoping to sleep in a little. No thanks to the furry annoyance in the house, I was woke up much earlier. Drats.
The dog was barking madly, kicking up a racket. How could anyone sleep through that?? Haiz. *cries* I hate dogs!
Since I'd awaken, I got up and decided to watch One Piece, the anime that is showing on StarHub CV now. As I watched it, I began to realize the similiarity between One Piece and Naruto. Both animes are fond of dragging it out. Duh. The sleep-inducing pace made me sigh..Haiz.
After the episode had ended, I prepared to go for a run. It was 0930. I didn't watch Inuyasha, as I'd downloaded the entire 167 episodes (I think it's 167) and finished them quite some time ago.
I finished my workout at around 1100. I went back home and stuffed my laundry into the washing machine. Since I was at it, I decided to clear the mess off my bed. There were books, shopping bags, clothes, papers and more books. My mom had been nagging at me to clear up the mess strewn all over the bed. So, I did. Hmmm..well, this is good too, as I'd have more room for my kegs when I sleep.
I did my QT at 1135 and went to bathe after that. Before going out, I asked my father if he wanted me to get him anything (he is sick). I went to the Phoon Huat at Sembawang MRT and bought some baker supplies. I want to bake some cookies for the brother who is teaching us at the Network course. I am planning to bake him the chocolate chip, oatmeal & raisin, cornflakes, ginger and jam cookies...=D Yumm....alot of work, but worth it!
On the way back, I stopped at Chong Pang to buy lunch. Upon reaching home, I put away my stuff, hung my clothes, ironed my working clothes and ate lunch.
Well, since I've some time before I've to prepare for work (working @1700), I'll treat you to some nice snippet of my childhood.
Hearing the pitter-patter of the rain, brings back memories. I can still remember it vividly. I was quite young then, no more than 9 yrs old. I was in the kitchen with my 2nd sister. It was afternoon, probably in the evening, as she was preparing dinner. It was raining too, then. Very heavily. She told me that if I sing the song, 'Rain, Rain Go Away', the rain would go away, as the gods above listen to little children. I believed her. So I sang. After I finished, I looked expectantly at her. The rain hadn't stopped. She told me that, it was probably because I wasn't sincere enough. Thus, I sang again, with as much enthusiasm and sincerity as I could muster.
But the rain never stopped.

Ahhh....another post...What a treat. That's what you are thinking, right??=P Hee.
I just have to give thanks to God for what He has done today. It is right to give thanks to Him. I am bursting to share what the Lord has done, to testify to His goodness.
Hmm...Today's sales wasn't as good as yesterday. But it is by God's grace that the sales is what it is. Is it confusing??? Oh well. It is not like you are going to answer me now. Duh.
There was alot of people today. People passed by the pushcart in crowds. Not a few. But quite a sizeable crowd, each time. (You know, I am getting worried..Why is the screen of my laptop flickering?? Not crazily, but enough for me to notice..Will it die on me???)
So, the sales should be good, correct?
Not so.
I have to give thanks to God for the following two events that happened. There was a customer who wanted a medium for a certain shirt. I checked and measured it against his back. It was slightly small for him. Thus I showed him a L, which was too big. Since the size of the shirt is not to his liking, he left. After that, I tidied the place and hung back the clothes. It was then that I realized that the shirt that was too small for him, wasn't a medium as I'd thought! It was a small! I was like...........ArrgggHHH..
I'd lost the sale because of this mistake....Grrr...
It was then that the man came back. He wanted to buy it anyway. I told him about my mistake and showed him the correct medium, not the S-shirt, which I'd mistaken for a medium. He bought it.
Praise God! If the man hadn't came back, I'd have lost the sale!
The 2nd thanksgiving was when it was time for me to close the pushcart. There was a lady browsing. I decided to wait for her to go away before packing. But, she took such a long time to browse that I was getting impatient. I was like, why isn't she going away?? I was getting antsy and all that...I'd thought that she was wasting my time, that she wouldn't buy anything. But it turned out that she bought a shirt..=)
Isn't God good? Isn't He great??

Woo....I have so much to tell, but so little time!!! I want to wake up at 7am tomorrow to go jogging and spend some time with God before going off for work. I'd been neglecting my Father lately. So, I'd have to type faster.....=)
Hmm...I woke up at 7 this morning, went jogging and did some other exercises. I finished up at around 8.15am. After which, I went to bathe and spent the rest of the time doing QT. Let me share with you some pointers that I'd learnt on pleasing God:
i) Live as children of the light
ii) In everything that I do, honour and glorify God
iii) Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness
iv) Be careful of how I live, not as the unwise but as the wise
v) Do good and be obedient to God.
vi) In everything, give thanks to the Lord.
"Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ." - Eph 5:21 (my memory verse)
After QT, I quickly grabbed my stuff and went out. I was in a hurry as I am meeting a brother. Remember one of my previous entry, in which I wrote that I am attending a course in my church? About exploring our servant hood profiles - spiritual gifts?? The brother whom I mentioned is the speaker for this course. Anyway, I was late, as the train was too crowded, thus I couldn't squeeze in. Bah!. Heh. Man, this brother may think that I have a habit of being late! I hate being late for anything. Hmmm..
There was a church holding their service in one of the cinema theatres. He asked me to join them for service, even though I'd to leave halfway (I've work, you know...) I was very warmly welcomed by the church members...=) Very glad...
Hmm...I'm not comparing or anything, but I feel more welcomed at that place than in my church. But on hindsight, it wasn't a fair comparison as in my church, there are alot more people in the service that I usually attend. It is difficult for everyone to come down to shake your hand and ask after you. Oh well.
The worship was great! Yup! Yup! Though, I was a little uncomfortable at first, things settled down. I was especially touched by the song "Through It All", even though I'd sung it before.

You are forever in my life.
You see me through the seasons.
Cover me with Your Hand.
And lead me in Your righteousness
And I look to You
And I wait on You
I'll sing to You, Lord
A hymm of love for Your faithfulness to me
I'm carried in everlasting arms
You'd never let me go
Through it all
You see me through the seasons.
Cover me with Your Hand.
And lead me in Your righteousness
And I look to You
And I wait on You
I'll sing to You, Lord
A hymm of love for Your faithfulness to me
I'm carried in everlasting arms
You'd never let me go
Through it all
I am especially touched by the verse "You see me through the seasons". Indeed, from season to season, cycle to cycle, God will sees us through them all. Through times of joy, pain, laughter, tears, frustration, trials, birth, death, love, friendships, relationships, broken hearts, shattered lives...He will see us through. Through all of these times.
Hmm...my church is holding an event where we get to write song lyrics, music, poems, draw banners, all to extol praise to God. This song had inspired me to write something...=) I am most probably submitting it in...Not for my own glory or honour, but to let others know of what Christ has worked in me.
Thank God for today! When it was late evening, yet the sales was still quite low, I felt quite down. But I trust that God'll provide. He will give me what He sees fit and I'll gladly accept whatever amount He gives. Because God is good. Everything that He does, has its own purpose. I'll trust in Him.
Praise be to God!! Thank the Lord! For the sales increased by 300 bucks during the last 2 hours of the day..=D Amazing, is it not??
All glory goes to the Lord who has provided..=)
On the way home, I was feeling quite tired and hadn't want to update my blog, but I just have to. I have to speak of the Lord's goodness.
You know, during the short MRT ride, I encountered a father and child. I enjoyed their presence alot. It was so sweet and wonderful. The father was teaching the child, Monday to Sunday. He said the words, followed by his child. Then he taught the child to spell the days too..=P In an adorable way, the child repeated after its father. Very cute. Innocent. Child-like. After all these, the man taught his chld the alphabet. Remember the good old tune that we were taught to sing to?? Yes? Well, the man came up with his own tune and taught his child to sing to it...=D
Ha...it was a small thing, but I truly enjoyed their behaviour, that I feel that you should share in my joy too...=)
Hmmm...today is my poly Final Year Project group mate - Hazlina's wedding. So fast, right? Ahhh...envious...
Hmm....no no...Envy is not good. No no....I should be content with what I have..=D

Oh ya, I bought a bottom from my neighbouring pushcart..=) It looks like a skirt, but it's actually pants...=p Cool...it's blue..I haven't tried it out yet. I'll do it tomorrow, as I am going to sleep as soon as I finish blogging. If the bottom is not complimentary to me, I'd do an exchange.. Simple..=D

Right Brain - 38%
Left Brain - 56%
*results won't usually add up to 100% as this test measures each side seperately
*results won't usually add up to 100% as this test measures each side seperately
Left brain dominant individuals are more orderly, literal, articulate, and to the point. They are good at understanding directions and anything that is explicit and logical. They can have trouble comprehending emotions and abstract concepts, they can feel lost when things are not clear, doubting anything that is not stated and proven.Right brain dominant individuals are more visual and intuitive. They are better at summarizing multiple points, picking up on what's not said, visualizing things, and making things up. They can lack attention to detail, directness, organization, and the ability to explain their ideas verbally, leaving them unable to communicate effectively.Overall you appear to be Left Brain Dominant-----------------------------------------According to Darwinian theory, optimal evolution takes place with random variation and selective retention. The evolution savvy individual will try many different approaches when faced with a problem and select the best of those approaches. Many historical intellectuals have confessed their advantage was simply considering/exploring/trying more approaches than others. The left brain dominant type suffers from limited approaches, narrow-mindedness. The right brain dominant type suffers from too many approaches, scatterbrained. To maintain balanced hemispheres, you need to exercise both variability and selection. Just as a company will have more chance of finding a great candidate by increasing their applicant pool, an individual who considers a wider set of options is more likely to make quality decisions.
I took this test at the following website:
http://similarminds.com/personality_tests.html
Ah...I have a lot of inner turmoil going on. I almost succumbed to temptation and did something that I know God wouldn't be pleased with. So far, I'd managed to resist this temptation. But there was a time when I came close to giving in. It was very, very, very close. This temptation went away after awhile. But it came back today. I was very close to giving in too. Too close. Haiz. I want to give in to it, but the thought that it is not pleasing to God and plus some other factors, I didn't. Thank God. From this, I truly understand what others mean when they said that temptation will always come back. Haiz. This is bad.
I wonder why am I so concerned with pleasing God? I am no goody-two-shoes. It seemed to me that I didn't seemed so concerned about other stuff, like QT, going to church. I know that these are important and I'd feel bad when I don't do them like I should and do other less important things. But I'd still not do these things from time to time. So, why didn't I give in to this temptation?? Why am I concerned with incurring with the wrath of God, regarding this matter?
Hmm...as I typed these words out, to a certain extent, I understood why I didn't give in to this temptation. Ya.
Well, would love to continue blogging, but I have to go. I've a course to attend in church..=) Don't feel like going, though I know that it'll help me, 'cause I don't feel like dragging myself down. Too much trouble, my body seems to think. But, I'll go. I shouldn't depend on my feelings, let them dictate when and what I should do things. I know that this course is helpful to me and it'll help in my ministry with God. So....
Ciaoz..........=)
P/S: Oh ya...I've completed the 3-day course and aced the test...=) Yahoo!!!!!!!! Thank God!
*I am thinking of you now, but I choose to ignore this thought and go prepare for the trip to church. So there.*

YaHoo!!!! As Sakura (well, at least the inner Sakura, from Naruto) would say, "Shanaroo!!" 2 of my 3-day training is over! Yes!=D Yippe!! Hurray!! *other exclaimations of joy*
I can't wait to go back to my branch and show off my newly acquired knowledge...Haha..Not that anything I say would be a surprise to any of my colleagues, as they are more experienced than me. At least, now I won't feel stupid, I know what I should know.......=)
Tomorrow's training is only half day, but there is a test after that. Ha...I love tests! Really! I'd love tests ever since young. Simply love them...=) Ah...quite happy. I'd thought that with the end of my poly days, there wouldn't be much chances for me to take part in tests or exams, unless I really enrol into a university 3 yrs later..=p Woo, what a surprise! Tests! Ah....*drools*
We had a whole bunch of things to memorize, though it was really hard of my brain, I don't mind it very much. I love challenges. I am planning to ace the paper. MwaHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! *manical laughter echoes around the room*.
Hmm...we spent most of today standing up, learning to handle and operate the cashier. It was easy for me as I'd worked as a cashier in all of my previous jobs, plus the fact that I'd been working in my present company for a few months before it sent me for training. So, I am quite familiar with the operation of the cash register. Thus, it was a little boring for me and having a long-winded speaker didn't help make things better. Still, some of the things taught today, were new to me, as in my own branch, we'd never done them before.
Well, I'd better go. I have some slacking around to do, not forgetting that I'd to study for tomorrow's test, eat dinner and sleep early.
Busy little girl, I am.

As I had written on the chatterbox, starting from today, I am on a 3-day course, from 0900 - 1730 at my company's Queenstown training institute. I woke up earlier than planned. Probably due to anxiety, around 0600?? It was pouring when I woke up. My first thought was, I'd have to take a cab. There is no way I am going to brave the elements with what I am wearing.
Ya..took a cab. I have to give thanks to the Lord for His providence. It was peak hour and raining, there were tons of people on the phone to book a cab. I thank God that, after 15 mins of calling and hanging ups, the cab was on the way to pick me up. Imagine. If I couldn't get a cab, not only would I be late, really late, but I would have wasted precious minutes by the phone, waiting for the operator to answer my call and waiting for her to get me a cab. It is right to give thanks to the Lord...=)
I was stuck in a traffic jam, but thank God that I wasn't horribly late, only 4mins..=P
The first day was ok, we were briefed on our company's history, the departments, stores under our company, the company policies, dresscode...blah blah...I almost fell asleep on many occasions.....Was nodding off, while the speaker drones on in her not-so-good English. For the entire day, while she was speaking, 90% of the time I was listening for grammar mistakes, mis-pronounciation and other stuff and mistakes in her powerpoint slides. The other 10% was spent nodding off, fighting the inviting beckon of slumber and shifting about trying to keep warm. Not that I wasn't paying attention, as I listened for mistakes, I was paying attention to what she's saying...
Ha...can't help it...it's a habit..T.T
Had lunch with some of the ladies...they are pretty nice...Contrary to what I thought, there were several young people for the training, though we were in the minority. Once again I have to give thanks to the Lord. This morning, my taxi fare was $20.50. I had only $23 and some shillings with me. Thank God that it was enough for the cab fare and lunch. It was really close. I thought that I'd have to go hungry. I wouldn't have borrowed money form anyone. My pride demands that. So, thank God!!!!!!!!=D

Things went downhill after lunch, during the afternoon session. We were told to brainstorm for ideas in our groups. I was selected to write as reflected from my name plate, I had the best handwriting of us all. There was this guy, I had thought that he's a nice guy, quiet and all, but that opinion changed drastically. That *vuglarities* acted like I was illiterate, spelling out words for me, whenever I paused in writing. What the!! Can't one even pause in writing because she feels like it??!! Because I want shift my fingers' positioning?? I didn't ask for anyone's help! That smart-aleck, smarty-pants, know-it-all, assumed that I was stupid or dumb enough, not to know how to spell efficient. Well, Mr Smart-Aleck, I know how to spell just fine!
E-f-f-i-c-i-e-n-t.
Duh. That ******. I was tempted to snap at him, with an acid tone, "I know how to spell that!"
But, I thank God that I didn't give in to that childish impulse. So, instead, I fumed inwardly.
Anyway, this wasn't the end of the story. He told me to write, "Products that are expired, should be removed 2 to 3 days beforehand." Now, what's wrong with this sentence??
Hello??? Products that ARE EXPIRED = ALREADY EXPIRED. Agree?? Since these products have already expired, what's this crap about removing them 2 to 3 days before they expired?? Hello?? The sentence had pointed out that the products HAVE ALREADY EXPIRED. EXPIRED. That means that those products couldn't be consumed anymore. They are past the expiry date. Then, the 2nd part of the sentence, "should be removed 2 to 3 days beforehand" is totally CRAP. BULLSHIT. Do you get it? 1 wrong and 1 right, does not equates to a right. Wrong means wrong. You can't add in the correct thing at the 2nd part and expect the sentence to be correct and to make sense.
You can write, "Products that ARE EXPIRING, should be removed 2 to 3 days beforehand." Not that bullshit sentence.
I was really steaming over his attitude. I reached home with an uninvited guest - Headache. Thus I decided to buy some comfort food at the Fairprice near my house. I bought milk, hot & spicy potato chips and Oreo cookies. Hmm...now that I thought of it, I should have bought some chocolate too. They are my pick-me-up. Works everytime, no matter what the circumstances.

Hmm...today had been quite hectic. I worked up around 10am. I had wanted to go swimming, but as I'd some problems to think about, I called Sebastian for help, so I didn't go in the end.
After much deliberation, I had decided to hang in there and persevere on and trust God that everything will be fine...=)
I went to my job place to fill in the confirmation letter and chatted for quite a bit with one of the Team Leaders. I was very late in meeting Jared...haiz..We were supposed to meet at 1230 at City Hall MRT, I reached around 1310...
OppZ??? T_T
After apologizing profusely, we went to Cafe Cartel to have lunch. Initially, I wasn't quite pleased with my food as I had expected fries. But it was alright, as the tasty sphagetti made up for the lack of the oily and calories-packed crispy potato strands.....ahhhh.....
I ordered an Oreo Cheesecake. It was not bad, I supposed. But as the cake was quite rich, I felt a little sick of eating it after eating 3/4 of it. Nevertheless, I pushed on, determined to finish this expensive slice of cake...(my method of dealing with such situations is to open my mouth and stuff whatever that's left into it. All at one go)..
Whoa...the thunder just sounded....It's raining here in Sembawang...You know, I find it amazing, how technology connects people. People at the ends of the phone may be in different parts of the world, be it sunny, snowing, day or night, they are able to talk or even see each other. Just a phone, or through Internet chats like ICQ, MSN, all these connects people from different parts of the globe. But there cons too. Though technology has made it possible, connecting people together, it seems like the distance between people are getting wider. Technology can connect people, but it cannot connect hearts.
Hmm...after eating, Jared and I went to Royal Sporting House. My sports shoes of 4 yrs had officially been pronounced dead on Friday morning. They fell apart, vital parts dropping out, making it impossible to survive. I got a pair of white and lilac Adidas. We both agreed that it's good. I heard from Jared (not confirmed) that all sport shoes have a life span of 3yrs, so when buying, I asked the staff how long had that pair of shoes been in the shop...Ha.
Following that, we left for MPH, where we spent a good amount of time deliberating whether to buy the books. I couldn't decide between 5 books and finally got Jared to help me out. He helped me to cut down to two. He spotted a book that he likes alot but was concerned as to whether he has the time to read it. In the end, he bought the book, while I didn't buy a thing. Good, yes? It's the first time I walked out of a book store without buying at least a book (not counting those times when I had no money).
We parted ways at City Hall MRT. I went for church service. We had our Holy Communion today. Today's sermon was about working prayer. I discovered that the word 'heart', in Hebrew, at different verses, has different meanings. Some meant kidney, brain and fats!!
Yes, you are reading correctly. In English, the verses show the word, 'heart', but in Hebrew, it is different. My pastor gave some verses as reference, but I can't remember the exact verses. The verses are from, Lamentations 3, Job 9 and Deuteronomy...Cool??=)
After the service, I decided to go to the Orchard Library to borrow some books on Photoshop CS. As I was waiting for the train, I realized that I had left my sport shoes in church!! Gah. I half ran and half jogged all the way from the MRT, up a long staircase and back to church. Haiz. But..........Praise the Lord!! My shoes are still under the seat that I had sat on! Thank God! Thank God that the hall wasn't closed yet. Phew! I was all hot and sticky by the time I reached the bus stop outside Park Mall (I decided to take bus 169 to Takashimaya).
I wandered around for some time on level 5 of the building, searching for the library. Once I had paid my fines and the card replacement fee, I set about to look for books on Photoshop CS. When I couldn't spot any, I used the computer to search throught their database and went to the shelves to find the books. I couldn't find what I wanted, (most of them were on loan, I wanted to go to Sembawang to get that book that I wanted, but saw that I would be too late as it was 2020 at that time. 40mins is not enough time for me to reach there and search through their shelves.) but thank God for His grace, I found 2 other books, they seem quite good. Ya.
On the way home, I browsed through them, though I was happy to find that I can use some stuff inside, the lines and lines of gibberish made me develop a headache and the urge to cry. This is worst than my most hated module. I can feel the stress and frustration in my head and most likely to show in the amount of my hair on the floor too.
Photoshop CS, my nightmare has arrived..........................T_ T

Oh, how wretched I feel!
From day one, I had told myself
We weren't meant to be
I listed down all the reasons
Why I should resist your smiles
The twinkle in your eyes
The mischievous sparkle in your laugh.
Despite my struggles, I am drawn to you
Like a moth to a flame
Although it should have known better
It still got closer
Unable to fight the magnetic pull of the mesmerizing flame
I had singed my fingers once.
Now I am burnt.
Wounds of old,
Wounds that I thought had healed, opened up
Old memories better left forgotten
Flooded in.
Assailing my mind.
Taunting me
With my past foolish and wishful
Hopes and dreams
I am tormented by
The way you smile at her
As though she is the only person in your world.
How precious she must be in your sight!
Because you had never
Looked at me the way
You do to her.
I have so much to tell you.
To tell you that:
"I cherish you"
"You mean so much to me"
"I want to share in your joy and tears"
"I want to spend my life with you"
I want to ask you:
"Do you cherish me too?"
"Do I mean anything to you?"
"Are you willing to share your happiness and sadness with me?"
"Will you want to spend the rest of your life with me?"
But all these,
Can only be kept within
The deep recess of my heart.
Because in your eyes,
In your mind,
In your heart,
In your life,
There is no room for me.
I want to shout out:
"I treasure you very, very much!!"
But I know that it is useless
For reflected in your eyes,
Is her image.

Whoa...honoured to be part of the title for this entry????? Keeps pestering me to update..haiz..I'm a very busy girl, you know...=p
Hmmm..nothing much happened these few days, it was the usual, I went to work, meet some nice or nasty customers (it depends), eat, read, go toilet and go home. Daniel and I went to Alvin's birthday party on Saturday. Thank God for Daniel!! Very thankful and glad that he agreed to go with me, else I'd be all alone. From the turnout of the party, it wasn't hard to conclude that Alvin is a very nice guy. He is popular with both genders and believers and pre-believers. I'd known him for almost 4 years, I can boldy say that, among all the guys I know (believers and pre-believers), he is the nicest. No joke. He really is that nice. Very, very, very, very, very nice person. He's very modest too. A very good friend to have...=P
As usual business hasn't been good these few days, but thanks be to God for His providence. My God is sufficient for me. How true!
"Even in darkness light dawns for the upright, for the gracious and compassionate and righteous man." - Ps 112:4.
"Praise the LORD. Blessed is the man who fears the LORD, who finds great delight in his commands." - Ps 112:1
How true these verses are!! How wonderful it'd be, for a man to fear the Lord and keep His laws as the way he lives!
I am attending a course in my church where one discovers his/her spiritual gifts...=) The 1st session was great! I've done a spiritual gift assessment. My top 3 gifts are: 1) Helps (13pts) 2) Faith (11pts) 3) Craftmanship, Encouragement, Hospitality and Mercy [all shared the same points(10pts)].
Sooooooooo.......what do you think?? Accurate?? Or should I redo? Personally, I am surprised that Helps is first and even more surprised to see Faith coming in at 2nd..People had always told me that I've the gift of encouragement. Faith..hmm....I never thought that I'd much of it..if I did, I wouldn't have strayed from God during difficult times...Oh well......what do you say???
To continue on........4) Administration, Discernment, Evangelism, Prophecy & Shepherding (8pts). 5) Teaching (6pts). 6) Apostleship & Intercession (5pts). 7) Creative Communication & Wisdom (4pts). 8) Giving, Knowledge & Leadership (3pts).
How? How??
The course requires us to ask close friends to help us evaluate us...I'd chosen Daniel (he'd done it for me last Sat), Angeline, Sebastian & Winnie. Hmm...maybe Zhen Yang..I'd ask him if he knows me well enough to do it...So, the above mentioned people......please cooperate okie??=] Be honest to me and please pray before you start.....=) Thank you very much!!!!!!
Work today was quite good...=) God has blessed us with customers who are willing to spend money..."Shall we accept good from God, and not trouble?" Job 2:10b.
I am glad that there were opportunities to chit-chat with customers. I enjoy listening to people from different walks of life. There was this Christian sister who shared with me about her love for speed. She watches the Formula 1. Aaahhhhhhh........if only all customers are this nice...my working days would be great!=) Ronny dropped by to pay me a visit and I got a free dinner........yay!! Hmm...I should have asked for dessert.......ya?? Heek! But it is good that I didn't, as I was stuffed. I had to force myself to finish the Japanese food...not that they weren't tasty...but hadn't much of an appetite, probably due to a super late lunch, which consisted of a Papa Roti, curry puff and a stick of guo tie.
Hmm...I love cats! My MS Word Assistant is a cat. A cute one, which will sleep if I leave MS Word idle for too long...=) Too bad that I can't keep any cats........sob...
Never mind! When I have a home of my own, I'll get as many cats as I want!=)

Ha...I had a good time today...=) I went to church this morning, for the 1130am service..
Hmmm....i'm getting worried about myself...I can't seem to muster up much enthusiasm in worshipping God or to go to church...Which in my opinion, is really bad. I have so many things to praise God for, the things that He has done, to praise Him for His goodness...Yet, I don't do much of it...I don't glean much from the recent services...I was like there, but not there, at the same time...I've got you confused, have I??
This lukewarm attitude towards God is very bad.
In a way, I prefer my previous working location at Boon Lay. True, it is quite far, but at least, I do my QT on the train and spend time with God. With the change in location, (which is nearer to my house), I don't have the luxury of doing QT on the train, which should be good, as I've always felt that 40 mins is not enough for me to do QT and now I can spend more time at home to do QT. But it turns out that I seldom do QT. Now that I do not need to spend 40 mins in the train, I can't do my QT in the train and I don't do it at home, either.
I'm really ill-disciplined.
Haiz.
After church, I took a bus to Takashimaya. I went straight to Kinokuniya to lose myself among the wonderful scent and sight of books.....Ahhhh...so wonderful.....=)
I wandered about, browsing through the International Bestsellers, Thriller, Romance, General Fiction and Comics section. When I left the place at around 1615, I had blown a total of $45.05 on 3 comics and 2 English books...Not a small amount, I'm still feeling the sting, but I simply love to read...=D I love good books and today, I've picked up 2 good books...=P Thick ones at that...Cool..=D *grins happily*

I reached Sembawang about 1700 or later. I went Phoon Huat to check out the spring form cake moulds (is that what they are called??), I am thinking of making a cake for my friend's birthday..maybe Alvin's. But he'd have a cake...and that I'm planning to make a non-bake cheesecake, which may not last long in the hot weather..Hmm...I'd bake him muffins...=)
Later, I took the shuttle bus to Sembawang Shopping Centre. There, I went to Giant to have a look at their plastic bags. I am sourcing for cheap and nice cookie bags......=D
After looking around for some time, I went to eat at KFC....cheese fries nad zinger burger......yummy!!! One I had filled my stomach, I started reading my new book - Just Friends.
I don't know how long I had been reading when there was a mini downpour in KFC. Yes, you read correctly. It was raining inside KFC. Right beside me. I don't know what happened. I am on the 1st storey, not the top level, this kind of thing shouldn't happen, right?? Well, it did.
Thank God that I didn't get soaked. More than a few stray drops hit me, but nothing serious. There was a person who was sitting almost directly under the sudden "rain", but I think the water missed him as he wasn't directly under it..Ha..
It was a surprise to some of us and a show for others who are waiting for the shuttle bus to arrive as a number of them crowded around to see what had happened.
I left around 1900, heading for home to meet Ronny and pass him the cookies. Ha...he told me that one of his church's youth group leader is my boss's sister..What a small world!!!!!!!!
At the entrance of my house, I saw him alighting from his parents' car. We crapped around for awhile before he left to book in..
Hope that the cookies are okie or up to standard. I have high standards for my cookies..In my opinion, the oatmeal cookies that I baked this time are not that good...Ya..Really. Hope that they balanced out fine, as I read somewhere that some times, cookies take time to "settle" down. I don't like to give people cookies that don't measure up to my standard.

Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go."
Joshua 1:9
A psalm of David.
The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
he restores my soul.
He guides me in paths of righteousness
for his name's sake.
Even though I walk
through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
Surely goodness and love will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the LORD
forever.
"Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light."
Matthew 11:28-30
"Call to Me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know"
Jeremiah 33:3
