Wo Hui Lai Le!

Ok, my mother has requested I use proper English in my writing of my blog so that my pathetic English will improve, so I shall try at least today.

I'm back from Taiwan, actually for more than a weekalready, however I was too lazy to update.. Afterall, I only update when i'm at work and have nothing to do.

1st and foremost, how was my trip to Taiwan? It was a lot of fun! There was lot of good food and fellowship. Ok the food wasn't that good, some of it was just downright wierd, but there'll be some things I'll really miss, like the HUGE milk tea cups (btw, the milk tea is like WAY better than the ones in S'pore!) and the terrifie breakfast every morning :) Nevertheless the fellowship was terrific; with the rest of the s'pore team (there were 9 of us) and with the youth in Taiwan :) The s'pore team always comment that I talk a lot. They say I'm the 1st to come up with the 'but-then-but-then' tongues.. granted it can get rather annoying at times, but it's ok if it's just for fun. We (the 3 of us gals in the S'pore team) made good frens with the Taiwan gals.They're a really funky bunch! And they always buy milk tea (or some other sort of thing) for us :) Yups, if u all are reading this (which is probably not the case cuz this is all in english) I would like to say a huge THANK YOU for being such wonderful hosts to us! And when u come to s'pore, rest assured we will take good care of u! Oh btw, I got to ride on a scooter (seems like everyone over 18 has a scooter)! I thought i was gonna die cuz the traffic there was just a killer (everytime we cross the road we get a heart attack) but I'm still alive, and the pple there survive :P
Well, since this is a mission trip after all I should tok about the spiritual aspect of things.. Ok I wouldn't say I've grown as much as in the previous mission trip (to Bekasi 2 yrs ago) but I have grown and that's wad matters right? :) I learnt a little more on how to be sensitive to the spirit when i pray, and also returned with the conviction to pray for mi family :) Oh and I was called onto the stage to pray for one of the cell leaders there, and my prayer was translated into chinese! It was a rather frightening experience. The pastor (he's german, so we call him a German Shephard :P) just called mi up to pray and I told him "noooo, not me!" but well i did in the end, and i would say it was a rather paiseh experience :P Nevertheless, the whole mission trip was terrific and well worth the money paid to go there, so I would recommend pple to go for something like this as well :)

This is my last week working at ubi! Next week i'll be goin to tkgs to be this thing called a teacher aid! And I get $65 a day (though like 20% goes into cpf, so I get about the same as I do now) and TERRIFIC hours! Because I take an afternoon shift, I get to come to work at like 12pm and work until 5.30 or 6pm! I work 5.5 hours and i get paid the same as when i stay in office for like 9 hours a day! (not to mention i get cpf, so i save up for mi future house now :P) And the best thing is that i start work late, so I get to do my quiet time at home every morning b4 work :) I really thank God for this job because at least now I get more time to do the things i want, and I get to work in a SCHOOL! (well, it's not teaching, but admin is part of a teacher's job too right, so if i want to be a teacher, i'd better get some experience doing this sorta thing too) And the thing is this job came so timely. Just when I'm about to get 'retrenched' from my old job, just after I come back from Taiwan (so that I could pick up the phone when tkgs called), and just after i told God i wanted to get serious with my quiet time with him :) The only downside is that I might not be able to spend so much time with Nicholas cuz i might not be able to stay online all day like i do here.. but well, my momma says it's a time when we'll grow less dependant on each other and more depandant on God :)

And recently also after the release of the A level results, pple have been asking mi what I was gonna apply for. For universities, I'm only applying for NUS science, planning to major in Chem and do a minor in bio. And yes, I ONLY applied for one uni (mi mom calls mi overconfident - i call it not taking up space for some pple who wan so badly to go into some course that I dun really wanna go to and also not wasting money paying application fees :P). Other than that, I'm trying for an MOE scholarship, cuz I wanna be a teacher! and also because without it my parents wun have enough money to send mi overseas for exchange programmes :(

Ok that's it for now, it's knock-off time! So take care everybody esp u my darling! (btw, the proper english thing didn't quite work out eh? :P)
