Sunday is my day of rest
Was a tiring Sunday for me. Didn't sleep too late the night before and if anything yesterday was one of the nights where I had the most sleep of the week. But just felt tired, sleepy, restless.
After LS meeting, my parents came to pick me up for dinner. But I wasn't hungry and anyway it was still so early at 5. Watched them while they downed wan ton mee, rojak, satay, popiah, char quay teow... Can't help but feel a bit disgusted while I sipped on my celery and apple juice, secretly feeling very healthy. See, I mean this is what my past eating habits are made up of, no thanks to my parents. And now I have to work so hard to change what it has shaped me to be. Ok shal not lament on that and change what can.
Getting a bit demoralized already. Been eating more healthily but still not losing any weight. Sigh... K in my bimbo mood now. Never mind shall go exercise!! I'm losing my bet with Alexis.

New Leadership
Just as the nation has changed hands to the leadership of a new leader, so is my department. Yesterday the big boss called us all for a meeting. We were so excited, thinking that finally the HR will announce that we're officially on a 5 days week. But what a shock we had to hear that he annonced his resignation. It's really a pity.. He seems like a really nice guy though I had very few working relations with him directly. And now only that my ex-boss is also officially leaving to another department.
New changes.. new changes. A quote from Ally MacBeal, Change is the only constant. I agree. One has got to keep changing, adapting , to stay relevant. Learning from the old but moving on with the new. The team's pretty upset by it and have been going for long lunches, probably talking about it. As for me, I'm not directly affected by it, so it's not much changes for me. But still I welcome the chnage with open arms.

Today the Z monster got the better of me and defeated me. The initial plan was to get up at 6:45 to go for a morning jog. But alas, the late night last night did nothing to help me get on my feet. But strangely I did wake up at 7 but by the time I got dressed to go out, it was already 7:20, now a 10 min walk wouldn't do me alot of good. So heck, I changed and went back to sleep till 7:50am. And again I was late for work. But it was also attributed to the fact that I lost my wallet and I had to search high and low for it.
So the morale of the story is? Sleep early to wake up early to go jog and reach work early to knock off on time!! Triple yeah yeah yeah
Having a ugly day coz my face is breaking up! Zit attack. Yet another reason to get more sleep and drink lotsa lotsa H2O.
Yes and a reminder, Read chap 2 of the Purpose Driven Life book. Have you read yours?

5 Day Week
Alexis is a lucky guy. The new PM just announced that the government sector will have a 5 days work week. And that includes students and the army. The army has sure got an easier life eh, first 2 years now 5 days.
When will it be my turn? UOB you hear the PM or not? We must adapt, make changes, stay current...
On another note, I really NEED to get a new phone. And no Alexis the cover doesn't help. The key pad is dead! Object of desire?
See I'm so easily contented and it's not even a camera phone :P
Upgrade, ungrade, ungrade!!

Growing Bloggers Community
It's so fun to see so many of my friends having blogs. In some ways, our blogs reflect who we are. For the unspoken thoughts, the ranting and raving. And one of the local blogger who got infamous is none other than the Sinagpore Ah Lian, Wendy Cheng. You have to agree that this lady sure makes an interesting read. In fact she was reccently interview in the Straits Times on Sunday.
As for me, my blog is just an outlet to express myself. Though it may not be as reflective, or funny or interesting as many out there, I dpn't really give a hoot about it. I'll just blog away, blog away :)
Keep the blogging spirit alive!

Ugly Cabbies
Stayed in the office till 12am last night. Had to rush for a fund launch coming next Monday. Everyone left the office and I was all alone. Pretty freaked out coz at around 11 plus, I heard music from my colleagues work station. So I smsed my boss and told her that I will get the agency to email her for her approval and I dashed out of the office. No encounter of the 3rd kind but a bit spooked...
Today I left earlier at 9 and was so drained that I decided to take a cab. But to my surprise, I could not get any till half an hour later. What happened was there was a queue at the taxi stand and in front and behind were tourists. I couldn't help but overhear their conversation and the one in front of me told a guy in the queue that she waited for about 20 mins at the main road but no taxi would stop because they ranting about how long they have been waiting for. And while I was in the queue, I noticed that all the taxis that zoomed past were indeed on call.
Then another two ladies spoke to a lady in the queue and asked her why are there taxis on call. The naive tourists were explained that the taxi drivers are not really on call but merely waiting for people to call and book a cab because they would have to pay $1.20 more. The tourist were pretty amused and so asked why this was so. So the kind lady expalined to her how the booking charges go and all. Anyway they got tired of waiting and asked the lady in front of them to help them book a cab. And you can pretty much guess, before the lady managed to get the car license plate from the cab company on the phone, the taxi had already reached the taxi stand in less than 1 minute!!
I'm uterly disgusted by that behavoiur and reinforced my determindation NOT to call for a cab. All these sneaky taxi drivers just loitoring around to wait for people to call and book for a cad and refuse to pick those in the taxi queue and there were like 6 of us in the queue. In future I wou;dn't even let them make a cent out of me, it's NEL, MRT, SBS all the way...
Maybe I should write in to the forum about it....

Haircut
I went for a haircut today and after all that's chopped off, I feel like I have lost 2 kg! (Cindy, I'm already feeling it) Well got sick and tired of my dull, shapeless, and heavy head of hair so went to snip it off. I wasn't that adventurous to have it cut so short and what's more a big face like mine can't carry off too short hairstyle.
But I like it. Only thing is that I've gotta style it to prevent the 70's look coz my hair has got a mind of it's own and likes to head east and west.(Go figure) Of course if I'm lazy, I'll just tie it in a pony.
NDP 2004
Went to the NDP with Alexis today. Didn't managed to get very good seats, but the show was still good. The best part would have to be the dance where they had the flowers and butterflies. But that one experience will last me for the next 5 years. I'm contented watching it from the small screen. No rustling and gusling with the crowds and leaving feeling warm and sticky. But of course it made me real proud to be a Singaporean no matter how much I dislike the way of life here.

Telling myself that I should be more disciplined to get enough rest. I just don't like to rest, don't like to sleep. Been staying up late, sleeping late, waking up late, getting to work late, working late.It's a vicious cycle.
Okay, today I shall tuck myself to bed by 10, hmm, maybe 11 and get my 8 hours of sleep before my face starts to break out, headache start to haunt me and body gets to intoxicated with so much caffaine to keep me awake.
But anyway the 40 days campaign is starting in two weeks time. While I do feel that exciting things are going to happen, I am also quite stressed by the mere thought that there are so many more videos to go. But it's good, good, stretching myself to be as "creative" (we know how subject creativity can be) as I or rather the team can, in terms of abilities and creativity and most importantly faith! But like what Huiling said, it's a dream team and I'm so believing for God to do great and mighty things in the lives of many through the 40 days.
Okay, enough said. 2:05 and it's back to reality, work :P

Are you too busy for the Father business?
These words still rings in my ears. And this was the exact same title of one of Christine Caine's messages that I heard this week. Do I know what is my Father's business? Am I interested in my Father's business? Do I make time for the Father's business?
And the Father's business is all about lives. Not programmes, not activities, not the hype or excitement, not the numbers nor the size of the church. It's just about lives. Changed lives, transformed lives. I'll just do my part and He does the remodeling aspect. I'm just the hands that help around the house while he's the architect that decides how the changes has to be made. Though I may want to see things happen faster, changes to take place sooner, but I have to remember He's in control. He's in perfect control.
And while I'm trusting in your plans for those lives, teach me to love them as you love them. I want to see them through your eyes. To love, to love, to love with a love that even amazes me.
