Finally its all over!!

Finally its all over!!! My Netball Super League and Pesta Sukan Carnivals are all over!! Yes!!, and what does all this spell for me?? Its Kit Kat Time.... break time! Its offical, from this Saturday 04 September 2004 onwards, it will be a 2 weeks break for Jarain!!!! Shiok Man!

At least a break from work but not from studies. Still got one HUGE BIG TIME project and 2 tests to come along. Hmm.. share with you guys what happened for my first test that just passed by this Monday okie. As most of you guys know, I was super busy with Netball Super League last week, cause the weekend was the finals. All went well for the NSL finals, and we had a spectator turnout of 1963 people!!!! It was really a remarkable game and I am so glad that the Singapore team won! Anyone interested to watch the telecast?? When I can my copy of the tape, I can pass to you guys leh!! ***Wonder if anyone share my craziness over the sport, Netball? *** hehe, nevermind! I know you guys are still happy that all went well for my work right??!!

BUT.... the result of all these, was I concussed for practically the whole of Saturday and Sunday night and Monday till early noon. In other words, it meant that I didnt study for my test??!! Out of 5 chapters examinable, I only in fact studied in detail for topic 1, and was trying hard to get myself prepared for a test full of calculations.

Super stress liao, so I thought better to give up and no commit to anyone, why dont I just give it up to GOD, since I know within my power and strength level at that day, there is nothing much I could do. So, I prayed to GOD. But still with the doubtful Jarain nature, I told myself, chey, everytime never pray to GOD, only when you need him then you ask him for help. Even if GOD dont help you, I deserve it.

But then GOD gave me an assurance when I did my QT on my way to school. I was then reading, Psalms 89: 30-34

If his sons forsake my law and do not follow my statues, if they violate my decrees and fail to keep my commands, I will punish their sin with the rod, their inquity with flogging; but I will not take my love from him, nor will I ever betray my faithfulness. I will not violate our convenant or alter what my lips have uttered.

I strike me like how GOD is really like our parents, or how a faithful friend would be to you. Hmm.. weird English...
For example, our parents can cane us when we fail to obey, but yet when we asked them for help, they will not say thing like, last time u didnt obey, so now I wont help you. Similarly, a true friend would not say to another, wah so long never call me, now need help then find me. So, Sorry, I wont be able to help you.
Same applies to GOD lor. Think he wont so "xiao qi" to ignore us just because we neglected him.

So, final verdict for the test. Haha, super unexpected. It was a complete test without any calculations at all. All theory!! Of course, I am not prepared for it also lah, but after all, it wasnt that bad and I think I still stand a chance of passing that test. =P

2 more tests to go during my 2 weeks break. Hopefully, I will have sufficient determination to start studying early. Oh, and I am going to my second home again. Guess where??!!
Bangkok!!! This is the third time I going there in a year's time already. Going there to watch a Netball Game and spend some time with my Mom! Thinking how come it is my second home?? Because my mom say so lor.

See ya around!

The Hours not known

hi all, just tot of sharing something i experienced this morning at work.

i am not sure how many of you know my company profile, so, let me just briefing share my view about it. :)

basically, this company (QES) got 1 big boss (managing director who had 30+ years in engineering fields, a respectable character), 1 smaller boss (a lady who has good networking and strenght in marketing), and small boss (a 30+ years man who is in charge of the other associate company with QES). 1 experience senior engineering, 1 admin gal, and me. so, all together 6 staffs. :) i am doing sales & project for this company.

the company almost closed down at the beginning of the year, but, becos my big boss saw the potential in the product our company is doing, he came and join in. i also believe there is big potential in the product. so, i pray that the company is doing well at sales and project proformance within first 6 months, if not, it might close down again. :)

3 months since i joined this company, we have had 2 team meeting. so, some task/project follow up is delegated to me to in charge. so, yesterday night (sunday) i wrote down all the thing i have not yet done, thought of finish them by early this week.

guess what?

i was about to give a call to check up "project XX" status, my smaller boss (lady) called me for update of "project XX". so, i told her i'm about to check it out. she just gave that kind of bad tone saying "peter, you must follow up on this, ok?" and blar blar... wAOO... sounded like i never do my job. nevermind, i was always told not to take thing personally. :) i proceeded on my work, though i took it "not so positively".

just something to share here, this incident reminded me of the parable Jesus shared, "the hours the Master come back is not known, so, don't get caught by Master when you are sleeping". (something along tat line).

i think it is always important that we are prepared to give an account to all the thing that entrusted to us. at least at our best ability.

so, hope this sharing can be an encouragement to you in one way or another. (ha ha.. anyway, i spend 15 mins to type out le..) :)

Great jog with Sharmaine

Isn't it great to have some sports after a tiring day? I'm definitely glad to loosen up aching bones and joints. (I have been aching badly these few days after long hrs in front of pc.) Very encouraged by Sharmaine's determination to make it through 3Omin! Nice place to jog though I didn't like the steps. Hope the rest of you enjoyed the basketball session. Heard there's a bro vs sis set and the sis did well? Thanks ZZ for the van ride. Let's try skydiving next time. =P

More Sports!??!!

wah, looks like the Li Jia Wei game is really talk of the town today. Was at Toa Payoh Stadium working, next to STTA lor! Wah lau, can hear people screaming one leh..
A pity she lose the game of course, but I think to sportsmen and sportwomen, losing the medals is not the most important thing. The most important thing not to lose is their fighting spirit and the killer instinct. I think in this Olympics, Singapore athelete all put on their best show, and that is the best answer they can give to themselves and the supporting countrymen!

Well, another sports in my life now. Guess what!! Huh, what you say?? Netball?? Yahyah, so correct!! Hai, sorry People, I so long never show face liao... flooded with balls in my life and figures (From school). Trying to type as fast as I can also, strain a muscle during play and today a nerve from work today. Both on the same hand... Argh!
But then, finally my Netball Super League is coming to an end next week. Haha, ALL are welcome to come watch the game on 28 August 2004, 7.30pm @ Toa Payoh Sports Hall! Its going to exciting... and it would mark a break for me!!!!!

See ya guys around in September!!!!

He ain't heavy. He's my bro!

Kel is not too heavy for us... but he didn't look too comfortable. ;) One of our many photos taken with the graduates in the group recently. A splendid day with beautiful fireworks at night.

He ain't heavy. He's my bro!

Hi USM1!!!

Welcome to the first caregroup blog (in the world?)!! Ok, at least a first in USM! I'm certain of that. heeee*

This blog's skin was chosen mainly because of the lighthouse picture in the background. Doesn't it look great? Ok, we probably have different views on this. Let me say something you all will agree: Importantly, as a lighthouse provides light for vessels in the darkness, we aim to be one for people around us... and so the significance and decision of this. Ahem* =P Anyway, it's possible to change the background picture. We will edit as we build on this blog.

Hope all of us, the 13 usmoneans (Ant and I had a hard time getting the number right) will find this blog thingy an interesting, fun and meaninigful way to communicate and e-fellowship! =)
