Moth-like?

The flu flew away... i hope

Having a big family means something in this flu crisis: The chances of exposure is higher! haha

Last week began with 2 of my brothers down with high fever, but thank God it's not THE H1N1. None of us needed to be detained. "yes bro, you're NOT going to die..."

My first brother happily skipped to Tekong for army camp, thinking he'd be safer there than with us at home who were busy spreading some virus around.

Who knew, swine flu struck Tekong! At least my brother's company wasn't near the hot spot and didn't suffer the quarantine at camp. He booked out with a lost voice and sore throat from all the shouting he had to do at camp.

He decided to check up at the doctor's in case and guess what, they decided to quarantine him at Changi General Hospital for 48hrs, just in case. Honestly, I was more worried that he'll catch the flu THERE than at home. Apparently the influx of army guys at the hospital was overwhelming and the hospital released my brother after 24 hours instead. =) He's been fine all along. Thank God.

Thank God for my health too, looking after the sickly(s) at home hasn't gotten me down too much. oh good oh good.

Latest news: Heard my cousin and family are all home quarantined for a week because they were on the same plane as several coughing passengers. I hope they're ok.

Conferring...

What a week that has passed!

Those of you with Christian friends might find them all disappearing from your radar last week because apparently it is a week in June with the most church camps.

Well, I was probably one of them. Although it wasn't exactly a camp, but I attended 2 conferences back to back, Monday to Friday. What an experience! No regrets. I am so refreshed.

Zoe Ministry was their 3 time in Singapore this June. Pastors from South Korea came over to Singapore (and Malaysia too) to minister and preach. I saw one of the local young 10 year old boy go up to the front because the pastor had sensed that someone had shoulder pains due to his arm lengths being different. My goodness, as they prayed, everyone literally saw his arm grow! From where I saw, I think his one arm was probably about 2 cm off. There were other healings there too. Isn't God cool?

Life Conference back at Trinity was, besides it being full of new insights and learning, we were also all very well fed. Snacks and tea breaks in between breakfast, lunch and dinners surely kept our stomach from growling. Cass and I even attended the workshop on "Manhood - Living as a Strong and Godly Man" by Rev Les Bowling for fun and awareness. It was pretty good and generic enough for us to not feel left out. 

I must say, our Apostle Naomi Dowdy is so admirable. I have renewed respects for her as I attended one of her workshops, "Guideposts to mark our Race". I feel more gung-ho for life! haha

Qin finally landed on 20th June! The cold aircon at the airport made the wait more anxious even though the plane only landed 5 mins later than the estimated time. And then... there was happy and glad relief. 1month is all we have this time. Seems so short, knowing how long you have to wait for the next meeting. But I can't help feeling any less blessed. =)

2 of my brothers caught a high fever this week and I was so worried it was the H1N1. Thank God it isn't and they're both now well and able to go to school for exams and lessons. How easy it is to spread viruses, especially when we're all living in the same house and helping each other get well.

Please take care, everyone.

Elly the Elephant pouch

Isn't Elly (or 'Ee Li', since she's from Taiwan) so lovely and cute and adorable? I don't know what to put inside her! Thanks Ellen! =)

Calling to say...

Bitterstickgal makes another appearance!

haha

Well, this is a cartoon of a girl rushing to the phone because she's waiting for the guy of her dreams to call.

Well, I'm waiting for a different kind of call right now...

Oh... the agony...

*continues to hog the phone...*

Been thinking about some things, and really, not all things in your life are planned.

Just gotta take it in your stride and treasure every moment.

"You give and take away,

You give and take away,

My heart will choose to say,

Blessed be Your name..."

Job Interview

Today I went for an interview! At (*points at picture*) and I'm actually quite excited. Feel so privileged to even go for the interview! We'll see how things go. =) Let God open/close my doors for me now.

Realised that my mum's old church's office is right next to the company's office too! What a coincidence.

I really hope and pray that the path I've chosen to take is good for me. I don't want to regret and whine about not having enough time for friends and family, especially family. even ministry too. I've been told that since it will most probably be a 6 day week, and jokingly '24hr on standby' job, I ought to warn all my loved ones [in his words:"your parents, boyfriend, girlfriend,whatever..."haha! ] that they may see less of me and be prepared to be 'tekan-ed' by various producers and seniors so-and-so. I wasn't surprised since that is how I've seen the industry's editors work. Why do you think they have sofas in offices?!

It was a funnily humourous interview. I'm amused and glad. Once I'm in it, it's gonna be a commitment for a couple of years of training. (wow, I feel so honoured.)

Other than that, chey... talk so much. I'm still waiting for that call....
