then i met my 2nd interviewer..think he is a funny guy and i told him my expected pay is $1.7k(neg)..he say he can pay me $1.5k...i replied oh that was my minimum...my working hrs are 8.30am-5.30pm from mon-fri...for the 1st 3 months of probation..i have to work 8.30am-12.30pm..after confirmation...its alternate sat...then my pay might be adjusted to $1.7k too,...pray that i be able to perform well and get my $1.7k after 3 months...then after the interview...he pass me back to the 1st interviewer...i waited outside...after 5 mins...she came and call me and say i got the job...on the spot...yeah...they prepared the letter of appointment and i got the job...but have to wear formal daily except sat can wear jeans...need to go buy more formal clothes le...only have 3 pants now..anyone wanna contribute?haha...really thank you guys for praying...

today Vera drop everyone in N317 a msg...it goes like this: a friend once told her there is one thing u can do on earth but not when you get to heaven and that is to share the gospel... lets gaspevery opportunity n share God's love and word to our friends who need Him...let us not grow weary while doing good...every soul counts and we will never stop sharing till every soul is saved...Amen? was encouraged by this sms...yes..sometimes we get tired..sometimes we think we have reach out to a lot of people...but we jus got to kip doing it cause we will not have the chance todo it when we reach heaven...and one day wheni get to heaven...i want friends coming to me thank you for bringing me..not jus that...people thanking me for bringing so n so and as a result of them brining people and eventually this person got saved...like D thank A for bring B and B bringing C and in turn C bring D...you will not know who you are influencing indirectly...the friend you bring might be the next pastor, next evangelist...or maybe the friend that ur friend bring to going to impact people...so do not despise in this 1 friend you bring...you may think jus 1 friend...but like the family tree...it might link to many others getting save cause u reach out to this 1 friend...so N317...and to all the brothers n sisters in christ out there...let us not stop reaching out to our friends to our love ones :)

Really haven been blogging for some time cause dunno wat to write...haha..in the end last week only went for 1 interview cause 1 cancelled and i forgot i had to teach tuition twice last week so din go one of the interview...

last week have this very unpleasant encounter with the agent from JMC employment agency....hmmm...it was on thursday..she called me after receiving my resume online..i told her that my schedule last week was very pack and the earliest that i can go for any interview will be today in the morning between 8-10am explaining that i have to go to work at 11am...then in the evening she called and say she have arranged an interview today at 3.30pm...she did not even ask me if i can make it and i already told her that i can only make it in the morning...she told me to take leave...i explain that it is hard as my colleagues have lessons on monday and i got to close the centre....then she keep saying but u want the job right then u jus got to arrange in a very fierce and attitude tone...then i say ok i will try but no gurantee...then she say have to go her agency to register on fri...i told her i cannot cause i giving tuition from 8am-10am then i working to 11am-7pm..then she say then u got to arrange,i cannot possibly wait for you and in the end knock off at 10pm..in my heart i was thinking i did not ask her to stay and is her fault in the 1st place, she did not tell me need to down to the agency before she can arrange for interview with the company and without asking me she arranged an interview which is not the time i agreed with her...then i very piss...she pass the phone to her supervisor and i told her supervisor i already say i working but she arrange an interview at 3.30pm knowing that i cannot make it and she din ask...yes, i can jus take leave on mon and dun care bout my current job...but will anyone want someone so irresponsible?iwrote them an email saying i was very upset by the service offered, asking will they intro someone irresponsible for a interview with their clients?haiz...bad experience sia...thank God jobDB.com and Recruit Express not like that...

this morning went for an interview with the agrnt from Recruit Express...hmm..the person say will be a bit hard for me to get to $1.8 job cause i no experience in the area of Admin...but i believe God will provide...He is my provider...He can make the impossible possible...with all you guys praying for me...i believe i can get a job at $1.8...do continue to pray for me ya...thanks

yesterday after svc discuss with xiao en,michelle,yolanda,nicole,meng ching and Ray on what to prepare for Group 4 breakfast after Chinese New Year week..after that i went to city hall to find my members and have lunch...after lunch, me and minghui head down to Riverwalk for discipleship with Bro Edmund..we had a good time with God...we started at bout 4.30pm and we sang 2 praise songs...after that Minghui lead us into time of worship...God showed up...i had a really good time crying in the presence of God..how i miss His presence..hmmm...then Jin Lian lay hands on us...she told me not to be satisfied...not be so easily satified in God..in the presence..after that when Bro Ed share with us..He say we should be hungry for God..my tears flow down..ya...i should always be so hungry for the presence of God and never be satitsfied but always wanting more of His presence...we worship for about one and half hr...Bro Ed say if we need to..we should be like mad man searching for God...wanting to be His presence...we should be hungry for God...like the woman who lost her coin...she did not just look for it but she took off the tiles to look for the coin she lost...if we are so hungry..the presence of God will jus come easily into our cg meetings...yes...i want God to show up every week...i want the friends to sense the presence of God so easily as they join us...i wan to pull down the presence of God...i want to be so hungry.,..not of the world but of the spiritual things...i want to be so hungry for God...


Lord I'm hungry
For a mighty move of God
Lord I'm thirsty
Pour out your Holy Ghost
Lord I want to see the hand of God
Move mightily inside of

Today cg was awesome...God show up...when i sang the 1st worship song...i broke down in tears...tears kept flowing down my cheeks...then we sang the 2nd worship song,...so long since i last sang this song...but God spoke to me bout lots of things as we are singing it...thank you God for showing up and speakin to me...this is how the song goes

RENEW MY LIFE
LORD JESUS
I NEVER WANT TO BE THE SAME

RENEW MY LIFE
LORD JESUS
PLACE THIS HEART INSIDE OF ME

IN MY LIFE AND THOUGHTS
THERE ARE SO MANY THINGS
THAT NEED THE CHANGE
THAT ONLY YOUR LOVE CAN BRING
AND I NEED TO BE TRANSFORMED
INTO YOUR LIKENESS, O LORD
CHANGE THIS HEART INSIDE OF ME

after cg.. we hve subway feista...we suppose to draw lots and do the sandwich for the person i draw..haha...i got justine and jean got me...hmm...we had fun and we just kept eating and my whole cg jus kept reminding me that i m on diet,.haha...plan to lose 5kg this yr but i still kept eating..i put on 1 kg since new year...self-control serene..haha...at least 30 sit-ups per day,..start today...hmm...ya...looking foward to a great svc tml :)




Have been going through a lot in my spiritual life. Those who know it, thanks for all the encouragement. Thanks for being there for me. I will stay strong. Eleanor read this book(Purpose Driven Life) and there's this part that says...

Character is both developed and revealed by tests, and all of life is a test. A very important test is how you act when you can't feel God's presence in your life: Sometimes God intentionally draws back, and we don't sense his closeness. The bible says, God withdrew from Hezekiah in order to test him and to see what was really in his heart." God left him alone to test his character, to reveal a weakness, and to prepare him for more responsibility.

She email me this to me that God is still there and she feel that He is preparing me for greater works! Hee...thanks gal..i will keep pressing on and not give up! :)

Gwen shared with me her revelation which "WOW"me...think she will post it in N317 blog soon and she also told me something that i think is so true..she said
God hasn't left me to fight this battle on my own cause He has provided with all i need to stand thru this season-friends..thanks GAL...think you are really one who is good in your words :)

hey friends..thanks for being with me fighting this battle together with me. SATAN is going to lose for sure..actually he had already lost..i just need to claim the victory cause Jesus has won 2000yrs ago on the cross... :)

Thanks Thanks Jesus

what was more amazing was the next day during service..we sang the worship song

God of my youth i remember
Your call on my life took me o'er
Your love has seen me through all my days
I stand here by your grace
On this altar i've written my life
Tells of the story i have with you my Lord
I want the world to know

God of my forever
And forever i'm with you
My life is saved with a price
Your sacrifice redeemed my soul
God of my forever
And forever i will sing
My greatest honor will always be
To serve my Lord and King

God of my all i've surrendered
My heart find its rest in your words
Praises will not be enough to show
How my love for you has grown
Nothing matters when you're here with me
In the end just to hear you say "WELL DONE"
Bowing before your throne

when i sing to the part jus to hear you say well done..i was like in tears...i was telling God all those awards or affirmation doesn't matter anymore as long as i hear Him telling me that 2 words "WELL DONE"...yes God..no matter what i do....i do it for you..God...i wanna let u know i need u in my life...without you..i would not have been to here...without you...i dunnno what i would be now...thank you for loving me...thank you for sending Jesus.,.thank you for accepting....thank you that you are a God of 2nd chance...thank you that you accept me the way i am...GOD...I LOVE YOU...i love n317 too...dear members of N317...gave u guys the correction tape with a note cause i am going type it here :)
