Gracie Down With a Flu~
Gracie is not feeling well today. Think my body system is shutting down to rest! I fall sick once every year, or even twice. No matter how strong a person is, when you didn't take care, your body system will protest and shut it down for resting.Logic huh?
I haven been blogging for a few weeks, my computer was sent to repair.It was only yeaterday that I got my computer back with the CPU changed. A few things happened, but not sure if I am gonna type it all out.. AhAHaa..
Yesterday was a busy day, whole of my day was packed. Finally I know how it's like to be busy, the whole day long. I woke up at 5.30a.m in the morning, haven been doing so since I left school. Left house with Lawrence like say.. 6.15a.m? We then went to the interchange for breakfast--We had prawn noodles! It has been ages since I last had a proper breakfast. Lawrence came over to my place for a stay over. He wore my tee shirt and shots! Haha! He looked funny in them. He slept in my room, while I slept in the other, so, nothing happen ya! HAhAaa... After breakfast, we made our way to EXPO MRT and met the rest there. We were down to help TYEM in ITE EAST open house. Our job is simple, just do some registration, sell some books and that's all! This is much much more better than my job in Giant. Well, I guess because this is what I am passionate about, that's why I don't even mind getting up 5.30 in the morning!
At the ITE open house, a few speakers came to speak. I didn't know Ms. Elim Chew and Dr. Andrew Goh was there in the first place. The last time I went to their talk was like 2 years ago! I was surprise when I saw Elim's name tag on the reception table. Both and Rod was inspired when we saw Elim dressed in her suit. Though we saw her from a distance, but we can feel her charm from where we are*Amazing* It pushes me and Rod to work even harder to achieve the company's goal and personal goal. During break, Elim saw us at the "My Voice" counter and came over to say "Hi". Saw Nickson Fong at the open house too. I did manage to sit in during Elim's and Andrew's talk, they were just simply great. After 2 years, I still enjoyed Elim's talk and her "Words to lead by" just inspired me again.
After the open house, I went home to get my things, rested for a while and off I went to church for bible class and skit training for Easter Day. Fa Wang Lao Shi drove us to Chomp Chomp for our dinner and treated us sugar cane drinks! A cooling drink in such a freaking weather. I stayed in church till 8p.m and set off to East Coast Park for Giant's gathering. They were kind, even though I left Giant already, they still ask me back.Giant's pit was pit 60, a long long long long walk from the hawker center. I was walking and thought I went the wrong way! The pit was so far far far away, took me 15 mins? I didn't eat much at the BBQ, only drink. Had a great chatting session with Alice. She shared a lot of things with me and also her experienc in the US. AHha, she went to US because of her boyfriend. Me and Alice talked most of the time. Can't imagine a 40 plus lady and a 16 going 17 girl got so much to talk about? Believe it. We went home together, left the pit like 12a.m and walk for like 10 mins along the road untill we saw a taxi. There's something I don't like about east coast, hard to go in, hard to get out. Reached home like almost 1a.m. A day ended like that. A long day, but it's a well used day. Been long since I had a wonderful day, not an hour wasted.Amen, Praise the Lord!
I resigned from Giant and am now jobless, enjoy first. *AHHAaa* I was then having a heard time deciding to stay or to quit. I quited at last. Still remember that day, I was thinking about this issue the whole time when I was working. I was wondering if I should seek Elim's and Mrs Chan's advice before I make any choice, but oh well. I when in the office and signed the resign from. After work that day, think it's the third day of Chinese New Year, I went to Mrs Chan's place and visitied her. She put on weight after her opertation. She still looked the same, still the "mother" of Gracie in Bedok North. Had dinner at her place and went to Far East after that. I had a hard time finding Far East Plaza.When I finally reached, I was like," Oh.. There's 3 77th street here, which one should I go first?" I was trying my luck on the 2nd level,I think, and found Elim talking to her friends. HAhaa, God loves me and know that I'm tired. We chatted and I told her I resigned from my job. She offered me some advice and that really enlightens me. While chatting, I told her," When you're a worker, you work for 8 hours. When you become a boss, you work for 16 hours". Then, she said," Put it in this way. Work 8 hours and you think like a worker. Work for 16 hours, you think like a boss." *Correct me if I'm wrong pal* What's she trying to say is, we should give more than what we are asked for. Work not for the sake of working. She's right!
I missed my Ah Bu, SiYun. Didn't go to church today because not feeling well. I have yet to sent my letter to En Hua Lao Shi. Oh well, think tt's all I wanna blog.
