Freelancer

After staying at home for almost a month, i decided to try my hands on something new. So one day while i was watching TV on Channel 8, i looked at ebay and think, why don’t I just put my cards online to sell it there. Just for fun, see whether anyone would actually be willing to buy something like that. So, i did! i registered an account with them and listed my product but before it actually got listed, i realise that i had to pay them a meagre amount of money to have it listed there. Since I was just trying this idea out, i didn’t want to spend anything.

Then, i got a little bit excited, so i went in search for a online ad site which i can post my items free and i found www.sg88db.com.sg and i posted up ONE card there. And slowly made an online blog where i can host my items. The next day, a guy called me. At first i thought it was a call to go for an interview. Until i realised that he’s calling my sg88db and he wanted to feature my story on their website!!!

Haha so after a week of liasing.. this is what was produced!

And now.. i’m an official freelance card maker. haha

And i guess, right now, i’m still in the stage of trying things out. No, i haven’t sold a card yet. Maybe cos there isn’t much products to sell anyway. Hopefully I’ll get a sale soon, Maybe…… nearer to Valentines ah.. haha

For now.. i’ll just enjoy myself making these cards. So my scrapbooking supplies are parked next to my table as opposed to in my room, in case any bout of inspiration comes.

I talked to my mom and she very excited. But the only one small problem is, I’m starting my full time job next week and i read the employment contract, I’m not suppose to have any other source of income unless it’s been approved by the company. So……. it’s down to declaring this to the company and getting clearance from them. I should la ah.. if not wait kena fired for nothing.

 

a new journey

Aiyo.. before this dean’s list thing gets out of hand… all because of Pearle’s blog.. (hahaha but i gotta admit that your entry VERY sweet… ) Being in dean’s list just means that I’m very favoured by God and to me, it is really an assurance from God that SOM is His will in this period and He was with me from beginning to end. And He’s just really good to me. Comparing myself to other dean’s lister, i see no reason why i should stand alongside them, except that God has counted me in for such an honour, to no glory of mine. So to all who are really happy for me, like oth, pearle, bee, wilfred, ruth, mary, u5. A great big thank you! What truly matters is that when we go up to heaven, we’re in God’s list.

Oh to all who’s wondering what’s the thing in the present i got, it’s a journal. A very nice, pink journal which i haven’t use yet, because i have alot of other journals. haha.

It’s the end of emo week. A week I’ve given to myself to reminisce about good times in TL and friendships forged, and so one week has passed and it’s time to move on. I was in Changi Airport and weirdly, I took a SUPER out of the way, long walk to the toilet. and this poster caught my eye.

It did, because… all those who have seen the Tung Ling magazine would realise that it’s the same!

see the resemblance… Can’t deny that God has something to say. And He uses really interesting means to put it across. But one thing i really thank God for is that, when He speaks, He’ll say it in a way that we”ll understand and know that He’s the one speaking.

Current Status: Looking for jobs and unwittingly getting frustrated at the whole process of doing it. Now that TL is over and a clear direction is not here yet, can’t help but feel a little lost and helpless at this whole situation. But like i told the cell group, I’ve tasted God’s goodness before and I will remember it, trusting that He will lead me as long as my heart is right before Him.

Anyway today i take a lot of nice pictures for pearle. The $7000 pro photographer say nice ok..

 

Anybody home?

helllllllllloooooooooooooooooo *echo echo echo* anybody here!? *echo echo echo* *cough cough* all the dust…

I know. I’m sorry. I haven’t been blogging for the longest time. And during the time that I’ve been absent in my blogging. I’m REALLY enjoying school. And that’s like a total under statement.

Forging many friendships, laughing lots, learning much, and starting to miss school already. I was just telling Eufai that I’ve never been so sad on a friday. I’m going to lead my last worship session and say my last devotion. Ah! somebody STOP THE TIME!

Our dean has been telling us day after day, week after week to sieze each day, sieze each moment we have, sieze these last few weeks of school. Because never in our life journey again, will be enter into TLBC and experience what we’ve experienced. And she is SO right. I really want to drink like someone who haven’t drunk for the longest time, eat like I’ve been starving for a year. And just enjoy each moment i have in school. And of course to meet God.

Hopefully, prayerfully, as I leave this place, I wouldn’t be the same person as when i first came in. Desperate to have an encounter with Him. Don’t want to go to bible college but miss God. That’ll be really sad and 可笑.

 

Update

Even with the whole week void of any working activities, i still haven’t found time to sit down and update my blog. Though having a break from work, didn’t give me a break from preparation of worship leading and cell leading. But somehow these doesn’t count as being busy.

School in Tung Ling is starting next week. And very happy at the idea of using the three months to seek God. I’m excited at what i can get out of it. Tired of just the activities and seeking for something deeper with God. Not satisfied with just the doing, but want to know the purpose of why I’m doing the things I’m doing. Not wanting to end up with great accomplishments but still am the shallow person. Sometimes i feel that I’ve been too absorbed or demanded by the activities and programs around that I’ve missed what truly important. And I don’t want it to stay that way.

Actually if I were to have my way. I would want to take a break these 3 months and truly focus on knowing God and myself in the process.

Weekends more hectic than the weekdays.

 

365 photoaday

I saw this project on flickr while aimlessly surfing the net today at work (I’m not lazy, i just have nice bosses), and I was really interested to try it out. I got to admit that i’m a little bit daunted by the idea of taking a photo a day, preferably not just a random shot. But as i looked through the photos of the participants and thought through more about it during the day, i am REALLY inspired to try this out.

 

I think it as i go to Tung Ling in July, this photo a day would probably also help in my spiritual jounaling (Which i know i would have to do, and even if i don’t have to do it, i will do it) I don’t want to over-spiritualise the whole project, but it would be a different experience i guess. I’m thinking of doing it for the cell group! not 365 days ah!! maybe a week, and confining it within certain boundaries. Ah, that’s still up for some more consideration. On a personal note… It’s like 80% confirm i’ll do it (I’ll start in June if i do) the 20% is due to a little bit of fear and doubt. If i do do it, i’ll link up the photos..

 

Now, to go back home and nurse my throbbing head.

 

A clean state

I’m renewed, recharged and ready to start over again, on a clean sheet of paper. Scrunching up the old paper which has been scribbled on, and erased till it now has holes, cancelled and with arrows pointing everywhere. Sometimes it’s good to just throw away that piece and start afresh. Writing again, but now with God totally in control.

 

Like Chinese New Year springcleaning; not EVERYTHING is cleaned out but the house is generally clean (or at least cleaner than usual) and bed sheets are new and there’re new clothing waiting for me to wear and new shoes to put on. And you’re ready to move into the new year.

 

So for that matter, these 40 days fast marked the end point of the past and start point of the future. I will purpose in my heart to move forward with You. There will be exciting days ahead. And Jesus’ coming soon, no time to think of things that doesn’t make an impact in eternity.

Not going back, moving ahead
Here to declare to You, my past is over in You
All things are made new.
Surrendered my life to Christ.
I moving, moving forward…

 

I’m not there yet.. I’m on my way.
