So now, where do I go from here?

Every morning's journey to work = my thinking space.

This morning aint too good.
Too much thoughts that sums up to confusion.
I wish sometimes my thoughts pattern can be simpler.

Dont like the idea when things get abit harder to salvage,
or looks alittle wayward then people tries to do something about it.
It just more than this that I deem certain things to be.

More personal thoughts I guess I would rant more privately in my El-Jay.

I dont wish to see myself in those his or her situation.
Doesnt seem like a pretty sight.

I started my day not very well and I hope things would get better.

I wont be surprised if you doesnt get my entry cos' I seem to be talking in codes.

People who has been constantly showing concern or been talking to me about my life would understand my entry, and if you dont, it just says alot.
& I guess only a couple would really understand my direction of this post.

Nevermind anything.
Okay now, back to work.

Caffine Overdose

This is a ranting post.

Late night coffee sessions when you have work the next day is killer man!
TCC @ T3 last night with a couple of the colleagues, and the next moment,
I ended up rolling on the bed not able to get to sleep.
When I thought I was the only one?
I walked into office today facing yet another 'zombie', Lorraine.
(Finally I spell her name correctly)
Now we are like... dying cos' of the caffine overdose last night.
Not able to get to sleep, semi-conscious for me...
I remember getting out of bed a couple of times to find my bolster.
Tsk tsk..
Prakash is in a high-stress mode right now, easily irritable.
Phinezzzzzzzz is bored like nothing and I am entertaining her.

& now? We are feeding ourselves with Coffee again...
I am feeling like.. terrible man.

This morning's journey to work was a mood spoiler.
Upon stopping at every station, there was a delay of like 8mins?!
So more and more people board the train, it got very stuffy and warm.
Hate it. I hate people standing super close to me ... strangers especially.

I feel quite bad now, thinking about this lady I saw at the station earlier.
She was puking into a plastic bag.
She was looking super pale.
I didnt go forward to ask if she needs any help.
Tsk, why?
I have no excuse saying that I was rushing for work, or was it?
Or was I afraid of the smell or whatsoever?
Thinking back, right now I feel damn bad for not going up to her.

What a random entry with my random morning.
I walked at a super high speed, almost running to the office this morning.
Thinking about part of our topic last night ... old times fashion.
Haha, sharp combs, filler fringer, M shape hair.. what else?
Bandana, and hairbands with a net?
It's quite hilarious.
Pager was hot.

I am really feeling crappy at work.
Super sleepy.
The booming sound from the aircon aint helping.
I feel like puking....

I need a good sleep tonight.
I hope it would rain tonight...
(: that would be nice.

Till then.

take a hold of me

It's Vesak Day.
So imma' off from work today.
Feeling a little lethargic still...
I am gonna watch my 5 People You Meet in Heaven DVD laters.

Suppose to go to the Botanical garden with the rest...
but my tummy was insane since yesterday!
I think it was due to the reason I drank Yakult before I ate anything and rushed down to meeting with Garrett..
Also, had to just settle some New Gen things.

Meeting Pra, Lorr and the rest later on for dinner and hangouttt.
I wont wanna stay out too late today though, there's still work tomorrow.
Well then again, work should be better than ever now since I dont need to do my portfolio while working...

Not in the best of best mood today and yesterday.
Well, I guess I am just affected by some things thats bugging me quite abit.
Seasons and People.
In different seasons, everyone of us are put through different circumstances.
It's just quite disheartening to see how some people react to situations.
Especially if its someone close to you.

Service last weekend was good nevertheless "In all things, put Me first"
Repeatedly thats what I heard from God for both days.

I guess thats always indeed the best solution for everything.

Confidence arise in things we do allows our talents and abilities to be further reflected.
The greatest prison in most of our lives sometimes is our mind that has no confidence due to bad experiences.
So cast that away!
I would totally agree with this as I recall my "pool experience" 3 years ago!

Before heading home last night, something that I eventually found out tugged at my heart quite abit.
There's some decisions and choices that I gotta make with me and my heart and my God.

Momsy is gonna be home today.
I am off for now...

Here's some photos over the weekend.. insane.

& take me and do what You want.

I had a good sleep last night, no nightmares nothing...
Woke up today with a backache...
must be the long hours of sitting up to rush my portfolio..

Before I went to bed last night, pondered upon certain things.
Was reading HT and came across certain lines that kept me thinking.

"Trial purifies our faith...
Victory applies when you have a problem that needs overcoming...
God teaches us His ways and implants His nature through trials..."

What would I say? His promises.
Never failing even at times we are faced with trials and issues in life.
When dreams might tarry, when we feel so tired...
God never forsakes.
That's His promise to me and MY promise to him 3 years back.
"To never forsake and cling on..."

The other day, over one of the debrief for Photog,
Sam casually mentioned that,
"Xinjie, you have talents, but need brush up one giving hard work too!"
How true.
Haha, sometimes I (we) choose to take the easier route out to do things...
Never to realise that sometimes through the longer route we get to learn more.
It's definitely oftenly tougher, but through processes we get mould along the way.
There's no short cut sometimes...
And I was reading the article on Reputation, by Dr A.R Bernard...
Values we live by...
Whats your values?
Our reputation, it reveals our character...
There's the 10 commandments that God gave us,
He didnt give us 1001 rules or to-dos, but it boiled down to 10 commandments.
Yet sometimes, we being so ugly, it's even quite hard to follow just that 10 commandments.
We try, yes we do... but..
Obviously it just shows that we need Him.
Without Jah, I am plain nothing on the inside.
I wont be a loving person, I would be so selfish!
I would not be thankful for simple things in life.

"Talented people are a gift to the world, but it is only character that protects that gift"

This was the line that took me away into my thinking space.
Woah, Character.
It's about being real, being simple, to be more like Him.
Talents are great, but the core is our character.
I still have so much to grow in that area.
It's just like what Samantha mentioned!
Talents, yes its good....
but the hard work and character within its the core, and thats what builds us stronger.


Haha, I am pretty much done with this entry.
I just had to get my thoughts down.

(: Pastors are back from Korea. Huuray.
And tomorrow morning the leaders are gonna meet Garrett (:

Friday, May 16, 2008
& now, allow some chilling.

(: I am back with quite abit to update!
Have been really busy with meeting the schools for the Red Rain concert coming up,
work, and importantly my portfolio!
I am finally done with it at 6.30am+ this morning and
I slept a little got up and headed to school for interview.
Well, I dont know how to explain how it was..
but I am having faith that I would get my re-admission to Lasalle (:
Headed to work after the interview, worked for like 2 hours only?
Hahaha. I was feeling quite hyper, I guess it happens when I get lack of rest.
Was feeling really fine all the way, energetic...
I just had dinner, and only right now, I start to feel the fatigue coming on.
I am sleepyyyyy...

Still have my eye makeup on and I am very lazy to move out to put my bowl
(just had porridge for dinner...)
I feel like rolling to my bed now and sleep....tsktsktsk...

And I am wondering, WAHHHH very sad, I get blogger, got tagboard already but no one really tags! Stupid!
Chew, thanks for your SUGGESTION for tagboard and all.. it aint working ):

I feel like I am falling asleep really soon zzzzzzzzzz.
But no, I am determined to finish this entry with some photos.

So yes, let's talk abit about work.
I enjoy working (to a certain extent) hahaha.
I mean I dont hate my job, neither am I excited like mad to go work everyday.
It's like, yeah its fine...
My colleagues are nice, they are insane, crazy... Josephine the new intern (:
Prakash and Loraine who sits the same row as me...
Just 3 of them is enough. It's crazy enough.
Work is work, company is company, but the people around is yet another thing.
When there are people you feel comfortable around, you wouldnt dread working.
That's for me.
So yes.
Auntie Saro who helps to clean the place is super funny also.
Always nagging when we are on the phone! Tsk, but she's so cute (:
It gets really funny most of the time.

And almost everyday we get free snacks... fruittarts, coffee/tea, brownies, puffs...
The other day I was focusing on some work or smsing, cant remb...
and suddenly... Prakash appeared out of no where, sticking his head between the space withing Loraine and me and shouted "YESSSSSSSSSS!" super super loudly.
I jumped and thought what happened, idiot siahhh.


So why did he exclaimed Yes! so loudly?

.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.

















this was the reason 0.0


He was damn happy that got leftover fruittarts!!!
And brownie (his fav of cos...)
I was happy there was strawberry...
Loraine decided to pose for me ...






























Yes, so this is my insane colleague....
(and the auntie at the back? that's auntie saro for you (:! )

& where is that man who irritates me evryday at work?
( I have promised to be nicer to him due to some reasons,
I shant reveal due to high privacy issue... HAHAHAHAHAHAH )
































There, eating away his brownie...
Super greedy.

Tsk tsk.

On Wednesday night, I was on my way home with Noni and Bx.
They started laughing at me.
Saying that School of Worship is starting and they cant imagine me playing drums.
I mean its so random.
But Noni was tryin hard to imitate me.
Asking us to...
Imagine Xinjie at the drumset giggling away.
Imagine Xinjie with her hair tied up in a ponytail laughing at herself playing drums.
Cant explain how it was really quite hilarious the way he acted.

BUT HEY! Not that I am joining drums... but...
Whats wrong with ME playing drums ?
KS said that he cant imagine either.
He think it would be a joke.
BUT WHY!!
Tskkkkk!

So okay, I wanna watch 9pm show and go rest abit...
Just remembered that I cant sleep cos' some schools would be calling me later!!!
Ohhhhh manzxzx.
i am sleepyyyy....

Now I end this entry saying,

Be simple, be real.
Say what you think, do what you say.

(:

Oh yes, the Children Church had a Mothers' Day video that made me teared a little.
Quite silly I know..

Just like the other time, the building dreams video, when the children spoke, I teared. Heheh.
And Gabriel from Nanchiau! He's so cute lah!
Sec 1, came beginning of this year, I think Sat was his first usher duty! He looked adorable all in black. Heheh (:

On Sunday I was at church but was doing my portfolio research.
Halfway thru, went to help Sam find some old pictures!

Everyone have grown.. so much!
Amazingly...
We certainly look better now. And definitely has grown spiritually too (:
After which rushed and did make up and all and we headed to some studio at Geylang for the photoshoot.

Soya Bean , geeeeez

Never failing, each time I drink any Soya Bean drink,
it takes just about 1 hour, okay maybe sometimes 2 that I will feel that...
twist in my stomach.
Nevertheless, it doesnt stop me from loving Pearly Soya Bean, Bundung Pearly and GrassJelly Soya
(Which aint so much a favourite... ahaha)
Just yesterday, on my way to work had a torturous time during the whole journey...
I drank a big pack of Vitasoy momsy prepared and at just Serangoon station,
I was standing there, cold sweating and pale...
Amidst the crowd and rush I had to quicken my footsteps and the minute I step in office
and placed my things at my seat quickly!!!
Next...
I was found in the toilet. HAHAHA.

So yes, now I know if I get constipation again or what, Soyabean is the solution!!!

Currently at work now, pick up calls yada yada...
Everyday (okay, maybe just today and yesterday get free muffins to eat...)

(: I made a new friend yesterday at work, her name is Loraine :D
She's new here just like me, and also started talking to this guy called Prakash.
He's an intern, so considered quite new too...

Okay, it's quite fun lately cos' I get to use my laptop :D
YAY.
And I get to TALK to people, as in around here...
Loraine :D hahaha!
Both Loraine and Prakash is just beside me right now (:

It's quite funny, we are sitting the same row but talking on msn...
It's crazy....

Okay Im' off now.
Lunching with Cynthia and Loraine later.. (:
