Thank You God
i thought i'll spend some time to talk about how good God has been to me today. Sunday is supposed to be a free day for me but because of this project, i'm forced to complete as much as possible today!! And to think i sat in front of the computer from 10am to 11pm not inclusive of 30min meals and toilet breaks. I can't imagine i could perform this kind of feat. The deadline is tomorrow noon but i knew i can't finish it if i push everything till tomorrow. It's a bad feeling to sit down and persevere when you have no idea at all whether you can finish it on time. Honestly speaking, i'm not an experienced asp programmer that's why. ASP is probably the worse language i've used besides Visual Basic. Anyway i met alot of uncertainties and was particularly stressed out when late afternoon came. My gf got online around 3pm and said something that stunned me for an hour(shan't reveal that). IOW, i stared at the screen for an hour with my brain not working much. oh well.anyway through it all at the back of my mind i just knew that God will pull me through this and help me to complete it. And now i have completed everything except one small part which i am confident i can finish tomorrow. I thank God for His continued blessings and help to me. In fact on friday He helped me finish what was necessary at the last hour. Thank You God. Please don't stop helping me.hehehe

TGIFN
ok thought i'll update. This is almost the end of the week and it's the Sabbath! The whole week i've been busy working on a project my boss assigned me to do. It was supposed to be done by today and he gave it to me on wednesday. So this afternoon i was panicking coz i felt i couldn't finish it in time. I prayed to God alot to help me get through this and finish it up and thankfully God pulled me through and i manaaged to finish it at 6pm which was the time my boss asked me how was it.phew..anyway that was just 80% of the project done. There is still 20% left and i plan to do it on sunday coz he wants it monday noon..sigh..oh well, i hope that after this project is done i will have a less stressful working life. RIght now i'm quite exhausted from all the work and looking in front of the computer from 9am to 6pm is no joke. So do keep me in your prayers as i hope to be more proficient in what i'm doing so i can have a less stressful and more productive work life. Thank God it's friday night.

Survivor 2
This afternoon i got back from the youth camp. It was a 3 day 2 night Survivor camp at St Johns Island. About 40 youth went and boy was it a great turnout. I thought the facilities there were quite good. The bunks were good, the showering facilities were interesting..lol..coz in the guys' showering area, there were no shower curtains and some smart alec used the spare bedsheets as shower curtains. And the partitions between the cubicles were so low. It was just up to my chest level so when i showered, i could see the other 4 people showering across..lol..it was a very interesting concept. I remember i went to the Malacca farm before.(saw ching's house) and over there he had an extra shelter for the people to sleep in. Some of the youth in church went including gary, irene and weeleng. The guys had to stay in that extra building and sleep on the floor and what's provided was just a mattress to cushion your body. That's it! And if you wanted to go to the toilet you had to go into the house and it was so inconvenient as they just had 2 toilets. Anyway, i'm diverting. Ok the youth camp were filled with activities. I was part of the organising committee so i wasn't a participant and couldn't have same fun as them. I don't know how the youth felt about the whole event but i hope they had fun. The bad part was that we ended around 1230m for both nights and by the time you shower, it'll be 1am and the next day we had to wake up at 7am. I was dead beat after the 2nd night but the shower really helped me revived my soul..hehe.
Ok, i got some feedback that the previous survivor was "more fair". I heard that the OCs had the same food as the participants. Well that's of course since it was held in sentosa and so they can just buy food back for everyone. Actually for this camp some priviledges were given already. Like we provided some of them boiling water instead of having them boil water themselves. I mean this is survivor!! Why this privildge? Well, maybe we can have the next camp at pulau ubin then we can all sleep in tents. That'll be fun. In fact i'm looking forward to an outing like that. The last time we did that i was with benedict, kah eng and clarence and a few others. It was really fun coz we pitched our own tents and cooked our own food with mess tins. Well, maybe survivor 3 would be like that..hahhaha..

I got a job!!!!!!!!!!!
I GOT A JOB!!!!And not JUST a job, but a GOOD job!! And all because God helped me!! Well let me share the whole story. On monday i was interviewed for the position as IT Trainer. It's a small company with about 4 other trainers and the boss told me that the working hours will be tough. If i go in he will have to give me more classes to take care of. He calls it stretching me and he does that to new comers. Rougly for each week i'll have to teach 4 days(9-6) and 3 nights(7-10) and probably sundays too.Oh well, personally i find that unnecessary and illogical. If he wants to stretch someone he should do it to those experienced trainers since they can handle it better. And doing it to a new comer is no good since he just entered the company and is still in the transition phase. Well, basically that's the only bad thing about the IT Trainer job. However, i was interested in the benefits of being a trainer. He said that not only do i teach, but i also get to learn. And of course teachers get to know their materials better and that's a big plus for a future career. Besides me liking teaching, i also like the idea of getting more prepared for my next job after being an IT Trainer. The last thing that he asked me was pay. My expected salary i indicated was x-yk. And he asked whether it's fine if he gives me 2k. I just said it's ok and come to think of it, i think he tried to get the best of me with minimal cost. Oh well. Anyway i went back home having a good feeling about getting this job but the only problem was whether i could cope. So i prayed to God saying that if this is the job for me that he will give it to me otherwise do something!!!
On wednesday i got a call from a company called Yellow Cube. He told me about the job scope but i really wasn't that keen on it but said that i wanted to find out more. Anyway he wanted to interview me the next day so i went at 930am. Throughout the 1 hour interview i got to know more about the company and the boss(interviewer) was very friendly too. He said the company culture is friendly and that there are no politics. During lunch they also go out together and i love that!! I mean i love the fact that it's a homely atmosphere. And i mentioned that i'm a people person so i would love interaction! Furthermore, he's willing to give me my expected pay of x++!!! Anyway, in the first part of the interview he said that i'll be one of the ones shortlisted. I was happy after hearing that. And close to the end of the interview he said that i had a HIGH CHANCE of getting in. With that i was even happier!! hahha...but he said provided that the next two candidates don't do better than me..hahah.well of course, he wants the best and that's understandable. So he said if i'm accepted he will call me tonight.
At 5pm, i met Andy for bible study. Halfway through i got a call from yellow cube.i was skeptical at his purpose of calling me at first until he congratulated me!! I got accepted!!!! WOOOOWOWOWOWOWOOWOWOWOWO!!!! So that's the first step to my future. I love it and i thank God for it. He has indeed worked another miracle for me. Oh ya, i forgot to say. Just 2 hours after that call, i got a call from the IT Trainer company. They said they wanted me to go down to do a presentation. Inside me i was saying "TOO BAD SUCKER!!!!"(they just wanted to pay me 2k) but of course i didn't say that. I just said that i already had a job and she said it's ok bye. Oh well..the miracle is God planned the whole thing!!!! Can you see!!??!!?!?! Open your eyes!! Are you blind?!?!?!!?!? God is in control of our future!!!
THIS is the kind of God that i submit to. Which God do you submit to?

wasp
i was studying almost the whole morning and while i was in front of my computer, i heard an irritating sound just beside my left ear. Naturally i dodged forward and tried to find out what was it. It was a wasp! And it was flying around my room. That was about 3pm. That wasp got my attention for some time coz all i wanted was to sit down and do some work. Then at 4pm it was time to vacuum the house, so i vacuum the whole house, top and bottom floors. After the end of it, i saw the wasp again. This time, i was equipped! So i took off the end of the vacuum cleaner and with that, i went after the irritating wasp with my trusty vacuum cleaner which costs $400 with tremendous suction power. But i didn't turn up the suction power. Yeah i should have. Anyway the wasp landed on the aluminium window sill and that's when i made my move. I slowly pointed the hose at the wasp and then it was gone! muahahahhahaaha..all in a day's work.

job
Dear God, please grant me a good job for i've been searching for one for almost 2 months now. But wait, maybe the reason why i haven't got a job yet is because i'm not prepared for one yet. That's why i should ask you to give me the discipline to revise my work and to upgrade myself first so i can be more attractive to the companies. Then only will i be able to be guided by you to the right job. Lord, may you help you for the next week. I think i'll be studying 8 hours a day so do help me keep to that. Thank you Lord. Amen.

romantic names
I read this from a site regarding romantic names. I just love it..hahhaa
To be romantic, you have to call each other names carefully crafted to make yourself and everyone around you throw up. This romance technique doubles as a passion meter way more accurate than those quarter eating machines in arcades; if you use these pet names and don't throw up, you're genuinely in love.
Here's how to construct your own pet name. Mix up the syllables "pook," "wee," "hon," "oop," and "ums," (never use the syllables "skuzz" or "elch"), rhyme a lot, and make liberal references to baked goods. For example, (WARNING! WARNING! TURN YOUR FACE AWAY FROM THE COMPUTER!), "Sweetie Pumpkin Pookums" is a perfectly acceptable and effective pet name, as are "Moopsie Cutie," "Hunny Wunny Cakes," and, for the extravagant, "Snookie Wookum Weetie Bunny Pie." (It may seem odd to novices that cooked rodents would be romantic, but they are.) For best results, speak these pet names with a big dumb grin, an admiring gaze, and a high-pitched squeal, and follow it up with an exaggerated sigh of dreamy contentment. The most important thing to remember about this is never ever do this in front of me.

tutoring
Ok God really resolved the situation so i'm happy..hehe. Anyway i went for a briefing at this tuition agency. They wanted tuition coordinators and the hours were flexible so i thought i'll give it a try. After the briefing i realised it wasn't just matching students to teachers. Of course that is what they ultimately do, but first you must recruit students..piangz..that's the hardest part. Not only that, i have to pay a "small" fee to access their database of tutors so i can find a suitable tutor for a student. The "small" fee is like $45 a month. Wah piang..if it's that expensive then forget it man. It's a cutthroat price actually because it costs about that amount to keep the database up and running a month and they want to charge each tuition coordinator that amount!!! Imagine how much that manager is earning!! I was thinking to myself if i had signed up on the spot, he would be really smiling inside of him. No way would i do that. I think i'll just consider tutoring as an alternative then. No choice...so if you know anyone looking for a tutor to teach the following subjects, do refer them to me..hehe.
1) Secondary: E math, Computing
2) Primary: English, Math, Science

sad
Well i haven't updated my blog for a long time. Guess i'll just write something. I'm quite sad today..and i hope that tonight will be better or tomorrow. I hope God will intercede and make situations right. I hope that i'll trust God to make things right. I hope that God will provide me strength to get through such situations and i hope that He will guide me always in whatever i do.

Super easy money
I was searching for an easy way to make money online and i came across something which is totally safe and i believe legit. No initial payments to be made at all. As long as you are a person that uses search engines often, then this is for you. You get paid while you search. So people, don't just get satisfied with JUST searching, get paid while doing so too!
