precisely 2 years ago on this day, i sent the boyfriend into pulau tekong and bidded farewell to him.
it was the start of the army dayz.
now 2 years later on this very day, he couldn't claim his pink IC.
they still wanna hang on to him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
well actually it was because the entire department was on leave and therefore there wasn't anyone around to return their pink ID cards to them.
have you ever heard of anything so SPASTIC before?!

| Chapel of the Holy Spirit |
Chapel of the Holy Spirit @ St. Andrews Village was finally done after 40 months of renovation, and we were there yesterday for our very first service.
after service, there was buffet lunch provided to celebrate returning to our old land. many pictures were taken, and i guess i will only get next week from the photographers.
::our church::
::the stained glass which i missed very dearly::
::a close-up of it - "Not by Might, not by Power, but by My Spirit"::
::my favourite Reverend!::
::as we were leaving, the boyfriend annoyingly took a picture of yours truly::

| Saturday |
the boyfriend tried his best to cheer me up on saturday. knowing how close to breaking down i was with all the undue stress i was facing at work, at home and at school, he skipped dinner at the captain's house just to accompany me.
i took a major long time deciding what to wear and an even longer time to make-up. i was in super slow mode that day.
but it was well worth the effort.
the boyfriend brought me to have dinner @ sakae sushi because i was craving for the sashimi salad which only sakae does it best. BUT the outlet at Marina Square was sucha letdown. there weren't even purple lettuce and so little salad dressing. *sighz
after dinner, the boyfriend brought me to harvey norman. i was just complaining how little i get to use his digicam and that i was gonna get one my own someday.
and there we were.
i get to keep and use the camera, and the boyfriend is paying half for it. muahaahahaha!!!
it was a good buy, their promotional item that week. i got it for a hundred dollars less, plus loads of stuff thrown into the deal. it was my favourite color - red. it was good, and i was a happy girl on saturday.
when i get home today, i'll upload the pictures we took yesterday and post more stuff. hee =p

| 2 Corinthians |
some learning points to take note of from the Book of 2 Corinthians, 13 chapters, and a recap of things i had previously known:
1) 'Amen' is spoken to the glory of God (1:20)
2) that we should always carry around in our bodies the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus (resurrection) may also be revealed in our body. (2:10)
3) whenever we face so-called hardships, these troubles are light and momentary and are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all (4:17)
4) but in order to receive the eternal glory promised to us, we should fix our eyes not on what is seen (men), but on what is unseen (Jesus). for what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. (4:18)
5) paul calls us Christians to live by faith and not by sight (5:7)
6) Christ died for all, and therefore all died. and because of Christ's death for all, those who live should no longer live for themselves but for Him who died for them and was raised again. (5:14-15)
7) also because of Christ's death on the cross for all, if anyone has Jesus in them, they are a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come (5:17)
8) we are Christ's ambassadors (5:20); people see Jesus in us, and how we behave represents the kind of Jesus we want the world to know. therefore we are called to be reconciiled to God because God wants us to be His righteouness, only through His righteouness can we live right (5:21)
9) paul instructs us believers not to be yoked together with unbelievers. for what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? or what fellowship can light have with darkness? what harmony is there between Christ and Belial? what does a believer have in common with an unbeliever? what agreement is there between the temple of God and idols? for we are the temple of the living God, God lives in us and our Holy God is not to be defiled with things of this world (6:14-16).
this was also the verse that struck me to stop clubbing because like what my big sista said, light have got no business with darkness.
10) worldly sorrow brings death, but Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation and leaves no regret (7:10);
so when i finally get my fair share of Godly sorrow will there the true repentance on my part where the Refiner's Fire will break my worldly desires that is keeping me away from my God
11) chapter 8 talks about giving generously and how Macedonian churches in their extreme poverty still gave themselves first to the Lord in keeping with God's will (8:5) - the grace of giving (8:7)
12) whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. still on the topic of generous giving, Paul urges the giver to give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver (9:6-7). generosity will also result in thanksgiving to God (9:11)
13) last lesson is how Jesus was crucified in weakness, yet He lives by God's power. likewise, we are weak in Him, yet by God's power we will live with Him. (13:4)
so what have you learnt?
1) 'Amen' is spoken to the glory of God (1:20)
2) that we should always carry around in our bodies the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus (resurrection) may also be revealed in our body. (2:10)

6) Christ died for all, and therefore all died. and because of Christ's death for all, those who live should no longer live for themselves but for Him who died for them and was raised again. (5:14-15)

| Yeast |
i had wanted to pen this down since 2 weeks ago, but i wanted to make sure i was correct before doing so.
as i was reading 1 corinthians, this passage in chapter 5 came up. it read:
"Don't you know that a little yeast works through the whole batch of dough? Get rid of the old yeast that you may be a new batch without yeast as you really are. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed. Therefore let us keep the Festival, not with the old yeast, the yeast of malice and wickedness, but with bread without yeast, the bread of sincerity and truth."
unleaven bread was commonly used for the celebration of the Passover in biblical times. unleaven bread means bread made without yeast.
paul is depicting yeast like sin, a lil bit of it and it grows bigger and bigger in the dough and even after its baked, yeast still continues growing in your stomach where the cells eventually die at room temperature or if warmer, they literally digest themselves breaking down into smaller components digestable by our body system (http://www.phys.ksu.edu/gene/a1.html).
so when God said yeast is like sin, He's not wrong at all. its a very clever analogy. and then remember Jesus is also the bread of life (John 6:35), all to do with bread, dough, yeast. how very clever!!!

| Pissed |
i just called the boyfriend with the mere intention of letting him know how bored i was at work and that i would appreciate his calls and/or sms-es and all i got back was sarcasm.
that was the last thing i needed.
seriously.
the fact that some captain decided to throw some dinner at some restaurant again for the umpteen times on a saturday night was news enough to kill me.
MY weekend.
why can't that captain just save up his money for his old age or something? i'm sure the money will come in handy somehow, why waste it on a bunch of soon-to-be civilian boys?
i'm highly suicidal now.

| Wrath |
the evil one just tried talking to me, pretending to be under the instruction of my boss. oh just leave me alone you disgusting piece of goo.
my presence here have incurred the wrath of countless people, they can't stand the sight of me, and guess what? i can't them either. the feeling's mutual.
spreading rumours. getting everyone to hate me. that's so passe and so primary school. how low-down can you get?
i am so persecuted here at work, how long can i survive?
well like what pat says, its survival of the fittest.
all because of one coupon. bad service is bad service.
i've decided, when i leave this place say in another 24-28 months' time, i will publicly announce my company's name and tell the world how lousy the service is despite it being a multi-national corporation.
as far as i'm concerned, this company has failed in its CRM so miserably, even its internal staff can't wait to slam it down.
always remember, 1 unhappy customer tells 16 other customers who will in turn, tell 16 others and then that's it for your business. chances of revival??? none. its gonna cost you loads of money to change this perception error. its gonna cost so much money, they'd be wise not to offend anyone in the future.
its a cold day. oh and its lunch time already.

| Politics |
is this the life of a young working adult?
i absolutely detest it.
people here are not your friends, colleagues can never be friends. everyone is just plotting against everyone else and waiting for them to die so that they'd be given your jobs, so that they can feel important too.
childish.
jealousy is the most evil thing in an organisation.
i can't help it if i've got a diploma and you don't. i can't help it if studying and getting a paper cert was not the IN thing during your time like 10-20 years ago. i can't help it if i happen to be closest to the guy second to the number one guy here.
i can't help it!!!
what do these people want with me?
jealousy ain't gonna get you anywhere, work is. so just concentrate on what you're doing and work till you receive the longest-service award!!!
stupid people.
they stab you in the back at every slightest opportunity, one wrong move, you're not careful, you're hit.
argh!!!
the thought of having to work here till i get my degree is SO insufferable!!!!!

| Damn |
i must blog now or i swear i'd die this very minute.
its the boyfriend's ORD dinner tonight with his entire battalion or however big this whole dinner thing is.
i'd been happy for him going for this dinner despite the fact he's still got a whole portion of his assignment undone and if you still remember, deadline's next wed.
but no, he went mad and starting raving.
HULLO, my silence does not mean i'm pissed.
i've been in a trance-like mode the last couple of days, had been stressing/thinking/worrying about my assignment and how i'm definitely gonna be "scoring" when the results get back to me.
because unlike you, i have to work in the day, and i have so much work to do nowadays, i can't even surf the net. its only when my boss goes out for a meeting, then i'd be free to do some work of my own.
plus your thunderous snoring last night killed the majority of my sleep! i even slapped you a couple of times but you'd just stopped for a lil while and come right back in full force!!!
can i help it that i'm so stoned today?
everyone in my office commented how tired and how sick i looked today. did you see how i looked today except in the morning when you were running for the bus with me?
i'm this close to loosing my voice.
you brought this unhappiness on yourself. NOT me. too bad if you dun get to enjoy your dinner tonight. i really don't care anymore.
your words were mean. should have heard yourself just now. rude, vulgar, uncouth, unruly, man i HATE you!!!

| Randoms |
am suddenly so sick of life, i need a break.
ASSignment's due in less than 10 days, time seemed to have flown past the last couple of months. before we know it, exams round the corner.
oh, have i mentioned that exam schedule's gonna be out on sept 11?
work keeps piling up day after day, even i'm so tired of meeting neverending deadlines. everytime my inbox flashes a new mail from my boss, its more work.
then i fell ill.
and am on mc today.
in the midst of very heavy cigarette smell, loud talking and whining, and loud tv sound in the boyfriend's house, and myself illegally tapping on someone else's router, i'm trying to finish up the final question to my ASSignment.
dude, whoever you are, thank you for allowing me access to your unsecured network.
