@hhChoooo… who sneezed?!?!

I’ve found a great place tucked away in CBD area, one that’s quiet, and its got a nice view. Somewhere I can just go and be alone… with God.

Every once a week I actually walk past it and I quite enjoyed walking through it. During those moments, I find that time just seem to slow down, away from the hustle and bustle of corporate life. In fact, if you frequent the trains, you should just stop and watch the world. And just picture yourself in the crowd… Sorta makes you wonder why the rush?

So anyway, I went over on Friday and found myself a nice shady spot, sat there and found myself just praying and talking to God. It was just serene.

Anyway, went back office to find myself blessed… with a bird dropping on my back, guess I was just too engrossed in prayer huh?

Anyone keen to go?
Early bird discount is up till end Aug.

I’ll probably go for the half marathon. Maybe next year the full thing. But well, I’m all geared up!

Got the New Balance Real Run this coming sunday. Hope I don’t die at the beach part of the run (2.4KM run on Soft sand!!!)

Never thought tutorials would come so fast. Barely on the second week of classes, we had tutorials to submit!!

Well, that’s what I signed up for! Yes, though its tiring and sometimes hard to listen, especially in a semi shutdown mode after work, but I’m really happy to learn all the many interesting new stuff. And I can see its relevance to my work! Its fantastic and quite amazing really!

I really am thankful for God’s provision. I got to know a classmate who lives in Thomson. And he drives! WHoo hoo! So after classes, I get a lift from him and drop somewhere near braddell. That saves me a full 45 mins of travel!! Thank God! I’ve also come to know many nice folks in school. So really do hope that I can invite them to church someday. Think the CD will come in useful. Two classmates I know drive. Ain’t it great for them to listen to the CDs? I hope they do listen to them!

Well, lots of praise to our Lord on High!

I find it really odd to say this… but I really like my job. (As an update, I am out of sales and am now in a new dept)

For so many years, actually two only (felt like a really long time), i’ve been slaving away in Consumer banking as a Relationship Manager. I’d have to say I didn’t quite fully enjoy every moment of it. Though I do know that in all jobs there are the up moments and down moments.. but when you face ethical issues everyday and struggling to meet the targets set, its just tough. It’s just not me.

Well that chapter’s closed now. I’m glad. I’m where I feel most comfortable. I’m always the one in the sales team where folks looked to for market updates and analysis. And where I was, I devoured lots of market news. It was natural for me, but the banks do not appreciate knowledge, just the bottomline when it comes to sales.

Just finished my third week in the treasury dept of the bank. And I’m so thankful to God for placing me here. I feel at home. No more sales target. I get to read the newsfeed LIVE!!! I get to update people interested in market movements and I’m learning learning learning lots of new stuff!! Though I’m still adjusting to school and work and ministry at the same time. I’d say its been just fabulous!

Looking back at the recent episode I went through from End May till late July, the journey was really a journey of faith. It can never a case of coincidence. I can only point it to the sovereign hand of God. Meticulous, designed, coordinated grace. Thank You Lord Jesus!

Now I’m really excited at what lies ahead. I found out that I would be on Saturday duty for twice a month until the end of the year. Initially, I felt a little disappointed. But yesterday, it struck me that this is an another of God’s provision and answer to prayer! I wanted to have a chance to talk to my new colleagues about God and about my faith. Now for the next few saturdays, I’ll get a chance to speak to them one on one. (You see, I will be attached to one (only one!!) different person each saturday! And for that few hours, we’d probably be chatting. I am sure there’ll be a chance to talk about God. (People always ask “what do you do on Sundays?” HAHAHA!!) So I’m excited! Pray with me on this, I’d really like to see God at work (both as a noun and a verb!!)

Ah… Thank You Lord!!

I’ve been wanting to put my thoughts in writing, but I’ve just got no time. The past weeks have been crazy. Thankfully by God’s grace, I lived through it. Don’t think it can get any worse! err.. i’d better not say too soon…

Beginning of this month, I started school, started on a new job, and it was the prayer week! Its quite a juggle to cope with so many transitions all at a go and with lack of sleep! Really thank God that things have more or less settled in… Still there are so many thing on my mind to do.

On my mind are also much things I wished to put into writing.. think I’ll put them here and return to complete it later

1) Living life with the End in mind.
2) God’s provision and grace for my new job.
3) 24/7 and overnight prayer

I’m just thinking.. I don’t think I’ll have the patience to put down point 2 and 3. I’ve already journaled these down (on paper), I’m feeling lazy to log it here…

I’m sleepy… going to bed…

This is nice… Here’s the link.

Been really blessed lately by the way God answers specific prayers.

Last week, Asked God to give me the a reply for the Treasury position by end of the week. (was a very long drawn and tiring wait for the reply - 2 months long). He answered. And so this week I started on the new job.

Before starting work, I asked God to help me find an office fellowship. At work, I discovered a previous colleague being posted to another dept, and it was in the same building I’m in! So now I got one kaki to pray with.
PKK told me a covenanter had also just started work in maybank in the same week as myself. I have never seen him before and could not find his name in the email system. But as I chatted with my colleague, I discovered that she has 2 new colleagues who are Christians. And guess what, one of them is the guy PKK talked about. Now I’ve got 3 pple to pray with. Whoo hoo!!

Lord, I pray for a group of size about 8 to form a strong office fellowship that will be salt and light in Maybank. And that the group will just keep growing and reaching out to our non believing colleagues. And that we will see converts and hear PDA testimonies. In Jesus Name I Pray! Amen! (I’ve got to be specific)

This is gonna be such a stretching week, so this is gonna be real short, coz its late and time to go to bed. I’ll have to arise early for Prayer!!! YAY! 24-7 prayer chain!

Its a stretching week coz I’m in a new position in a new department in Maybank. And the things I’ve to pick up are totally different. Add to that, school starts this week. So classes are on in the evening after work. Add prayer. so that’s why its stretched. Don’t think I’ll have time this week to run or swim (The New Balance Real Run is coming up at the end of the month, so must train). But its fine! good to exercise a some spiritual muscle!

Was really encouraged to see an overwhelming turnout on the first session on monday night. It was expected to have a turnout of 15 people. But in the end there were at least 45!! More than three times the expected number. we eventually shifted to the Chapel! It was just great to sit in God’s presence. The three things that kept coming up in the prayer was, waiting for God, faith and obedience.

I’m looking forward to the rest of this week. Trying to get to church for whichever session I can make it.
