Jerome still remembers me.. He hugges me so tight it just made my day.. So manja la that boy.. And he was full of funny stories to tell.

People I miss hanging out with...

Live.. YES!!

One of the projects that I've been working on with a couple of other colleagues is supposed to go live today.. Oh well it was suppose to go live like 1.5 months ago, but due to some *circumstances* we had to delay it. Thank God for a favorable time frame from lady boss.. She's been really generous with us..

So yea, we're really hoping that our vendor will be able to upload everything and that we'll meet our target today..

Jesus.. help help us go live today..

No More Varie-TI

Roger Ti + Sarah Jane Cheong = Mr & Mrs Roger Ti!!

They are 2 of my closest friends and they got hitched last Saturday.. I was so touched to be asked to help alongside for their wedding.. It meant a lot cos they've such a blessing to me.. Through the years, whenever I needed anything.. anything at all they would be there for me.. So it was my turn to give back..

The team that was put together were also really awesome! Most of which were former cellies and others just really good friends.. Everyone was so efficient and pulled their weight for the wedding..

The whole ceremony was just so touching that so many teared.. some even flooded the carpet I believe lol..

God's brought them through many years and I believe that this is just only an awesome beginning...

May your lives as husband & wife now be an example to many just as it was when you guys were courting.. God has fabulous plans in store for you.. Continue to surrender and trust Him for everything..

Sarah - ABUNDANCE!!! =p

Can you count?

So I went swimming the other day.. It was kinda scary.. Who would have thought that I'd ever be afraid of going into the water for a swim haha.. But I guess after that experience, anything's possible..

Anyway, swam 22 laps with Zhi and Serena.. that's the most I've ever done.. so proud of myself hee!!!

Definitely not gonna be one time thing.. Maybe next week again?

Just in case you missed this great ad

New Beginnings

It's been a long time since I posted something on this blog..
Been slacking!

Last night, I went out for dinner with the cellies.. What was suppose to be a meeting with just leaders became dinner + dessert with 10 of them!!
It was just a wonderful night of catching up and laughter.. not to mention the hilarious poses by some monkeys :P
I'm sure some of them will be posting up pictures on FB soon.
*reminder to self : untagged all pics that I don't look appealing in, thanks to a monkey!*

The cell's gonna multiply this coming Friday, and although it's a little sad to know that we'll be meeting in 2 different groups after that, I think it's more humbling for me because I realise that God's hand has so evidently been upon this cell. From the time we multiplied from our first cell in 2008, God has just been blessing us with new cellies, new converts and raising raising up leaders in the cell. It is surely 'not by might, not by power but my Spirit says the Lord'.

My faith has also risen to a whole new level. There's been many challenges along the way, but I thank God for His wisdom and the wonderful people He has placed to help and guide me through it.

It's a new season!

Day 8

Today's my 8th day in hospital.A stay which I thought would only be max 2 nights has now already turned to be 6 nights.

I was diagnosed with pneumonia sometime last week.Doc put me on one antibiotic which was not working.Then changed me on another type,which is about 10 doses.2 doses a day via IV.The first 2 hurt a lot but now it doesn't anymore,either the nurses have become more gentle or I've just gotten used to it.

Today's a beautiful day.. I woke up feeling good, and prayerfully it will last throughout.. Previous evenings I've been having fever..

I've only got 2 doses left..

Oh Lord, you're my greatest physician.. I surrender all to you.. Please clear my lungs and let your blood flow through my body...

Surprise!

Just when everything seems like it's falling apart and you're losing control.. God just amazes you... I love it when He does that.. =p

Have to continue to cling on to Him for wisdom and favor..

Confirmed!

So yesterday I got confirmed.. They backdated it to 19th May though cos that was my initial confirmation date..

But I must admit, a little doubt did creep on whether I was going to be confirmed, cos my Unit Head was away so I knew we would only sit down and talk about it after he comes back on the 24th May..

24th May came.. silence

25th May came.. silence

So I decided that if they hadnt said anything by 27th May, I would ask..

Then yesterday, my manager makes an appointment with me and says that they've been wanting to see me since 24th, but just have been too busy..

They gave me such a good rating and a lot of positive comments...

Praise God!
I'm confirmed! hahaha..

It's truly by God's grace that I've been blessed with such wonderful bosses.. Those that really look out for my wellbeing here.. Couldn't ask for better bosses.. and colleagues..

Some of my closest colleagues were rejoicing together with me yesterday.. I'm gonna go belanja them sometime in June.. when our work settles a little.. This month is just crazy!

To take or not to take..

I'm seriously considering taking my Advanced Open Water Diver license in July.. Don't wanna be stuck on land no more when the rest go for deep and wreck dives..

Downside, I'll probably need to do one Night Dive, something I'm not so hyped up about.. So dark... eeeerrrriiiieeee....

What's in store this week?

God’s been good! Just extremely amazing..

We now have cellies from different areas such as Subang, Bangsar, Cheras, KL.. It really does ease up the load on the others as now we have these cellies to help fetch those who need transport from these areas..

Last week was just great as well.. I met up with different cellies 3 week nights for dinner.. It was a good catch-up session and also to touch base on what’s been happening in their lives as most of them can’t make cell on Fridays due to work/classes.. Felt that I should do week night dinners with them more often.. This week and next week are a little packed for me, but will try to make one night for them at least..

We went to Chamang waterfalls on Sat.. Left as early as 740am cos it was labor day and my kiasu-ness hit.. Managed to get a wonderful spot and the whole falls to ourselves for a good hour before the crowd started pouring in.. The girls cooked up a hearty meal for the rest.. we splashed, swam, taught others how to swim, cam whored and just had a fun loving time in the falls for more than 3.5 hours.. Then went for lunch and headed back just in time to get a quick shower before service.. Was so glad to see all cellies back for service.. We were also graced by the presence of a few close friends and visitors.. 15 in all!

Am expecting another great week this week, in every area of my life.. ‘His grace and mercies are new every morning’..

Out!.. for now

My project which was initially approved got put on hold. I was pretty bummed about it when I first found out, also not helping that it was the first thing I heard as I walked into work 2 days ago. But as I spoke to another colleague, she shared her experience on how once her project got put on hold for more than a year, but was later rolled out again.

So I guess the top lady is going with the flow and hopefully, when all is ok, my project will be back on its feet again.

Meanwhile, I’ve been tasked to work on another project, equally as interesting as the first one so I’m pretty excited about it. But there’s a lot more work involved in this one.

But by God’s grace and wisdom I know He’ll help me pull through.

Wanna dip?

The cell and a few others are heading to Chamang Waterfalls, Bentong this Sat. We're all so psyched. Since it's a public holiday, the girls decided that we'll spend Friday night after cell and early Saturday morning to cook up a meal for everyone so that we can head straight to the falls to have a picnic hopefully get a good spot before the crowd comes in..

Pilates

I just came back from my first ever pilates class.. and I loved it!!!

Wonder if I'm gonna be sore tomorrow though.. It's been 1.5 years since I went to the gym, seems like there's more people there..

Met Sunee & Alex by chance there... so decided to head for dinner after class with them at Ming Tien.. Good catching up..

Looking to probably going to 2 classes weekly.. Commitment!!

Results

I've been falling sick quite frequently recently and so decided to visit the doctor for the 3rd time in this one week. My fever's been up and down this whole week and have been feeling so tired and horrible. I'm also just started my 3rd dose of antibiotics.

Doc did a mini blood test (super mini-she just pricked my finger and came up with a whole lot of numbers)

Denggi - Nope! Thank God. Don't wanna be getting it for the 2nd time. It's no fun. My platelet count was 145. If it's below 100, then it could possibly be denggi.

H1N1 - Nope! Praise God. My infection rate or something was way above normal.

Dehydration - YUP! I hadn't been drinking enough water over the weekend so I was terribly dehydrated.

Red Blood Cell Count - LOW! My count was way below normal. Not sure why though.

Doc said that I'm taking longer to recover this time cos I'm not drinking enough water and getting tired easily as my red blood cell count is low. Also the antibiotics that were given earlier did not work as they were not strong enough. I've been taking Augmentin for sometime now, so the milder antibiotics will either not work for me or I'll take a longer time to recover. So now I'm back on Augmentin.

I feel a little better today, but not 100% yet. I still feel a little weak and tired.

I'll probably go do a full medical work-up this weekend, or once I'm completely better. It's been a exactly a year now since I last did it.

Rocked it!

Yesterday I had to present the 2nd progress update for my project at HRMC.. (the meeting where all the big people in HR sit in).. And I was particularly nervous as the outcome of the project thus far was not in the direction that my director wanted to go..

So I prayed and prayed and prayed.. for favor most of all.. and that God would set the scene and 'soften' their hearts hehe..

And guess what.. God never fails to turn up! As I presented, my director said, 'Well if that's the direction that the Group wants to head in, then we'll just follow suit'.. Woohoo!! She was very pleased with the presentation and the content of it.. she then later went to my unit head, and told him that she was really happy that a lot of work has been put into the project so far and she's pleased with the update.. Thank You Lord for Favor!! That was a relieve..

Until.. until.. she goes.. 'Ok, I would like you to present this at the GHRC.. (the meeting in which our CEO and other top directors sit in) to update them on the progress..

Ggrrrrrr.... now I'm nervous again..

But I know without a doubt that God's gonna guide me through and give met the wisdom to answer all any/all questions that will be asked..

Thank you Lord for this amazing opportunity.. Help me to excel and bring this project to it's fullest fullest potential.. May your name be glorified..

*scratch scratch*

It's been so long since I've gotten my allergies.. Played with Buttons yesterday and voila - eyes and throat started to itch so bad, eyes became super tiny and red.. nose blocked!

You'd think I'd get better by morning.. but sigh! I'm at work now trying to breath through my mouth and trying so hard to not scratch my eyes..

Doesn't help that I'm still recovering from my fever as well..
