Of Hopes and Dreams of a New Life

I am looking forward to many things, some with more eagerness than others.

Top 5 list of things that I'm looking forward to
1. Wedding bells, saying I do & hearing I do too
2. Love nest for the both of us
3. Our very church building
4. A new job
5. Hmm..




Maybe just 4 things for the time being.

Wedding Bells
Alexis & I have decided to have our ROM on the 9th of September. It's a popular date as it's a double date (09/09) And do you know that all double dates are popular dates? Must be the first to e-file for that date. Reason why we chose that date is because it marks our 4th year courtship anniversary. We're planning to go for the next PMC which should be starting in July. But we have a slight problem, as Alexis has classes on Thursdays now. Maybe they would be so nice as to shift it to another day. Seems so far away and at the same time so near. Time to start making preparations soon.

Love Nest
HDB had their one day only sale of HDB units this Monday. These are the remaining units from the previous balloting exercise in the matured estates. Sad to say our queue no is 434, not very high chances of getting our choice unit at Queenstown or Bendeemer. The units in AMK have also been snapped up just after one day and it will only our turn to choose on Monday. If we don't get what we wish for, we'll settle for re-sale...So pray for me, pray real hard that I get it. By the way, my dear sister have applied for her flat in Jurong. Anyone neighbours with her?

Our Church Building
One that comes complete with auditorium, PCH, classrooms, office, maybe even a space for rach's cafe :) And perhaps I'll open a bookshop beside her. I really can't wait for the day. Heh Alexis and I were hoping to be the first couple to march down the aisle in our very own church, but we can't wait! There's so much to look forward to, like popping over at lunch time, having a quiet spot to go to for lunch, walking over to PCH frm my office, youth service on a Sat that can go overtime w/o worrying about the time, supper at Lao Pa Sat, own youth room and Francis said maybe even a whole storey of our own. But more importantly, see more pple coming for the youth servce, see the fellowship growing stronger.

New Job
Yeah, things at work are gettiing kind of messy and I'm really starting to lose faith in my company, in the way things are done and how business is done. Perhaps it's time to move on after all I'm entering into another phrase of life. Just yesterday morning I asked God for a sign if He's okay with my intended move. I'll take it as a yes, if I receive a email from HR on any job openings in the bank. They do send email blast to all staff from time to time, but not very regularly. And lo and behold, they sent an email after lunch..God are you telling me something?

These are my hopes of dreams at this juncture in my life.
