Body Inc :))

I'm back! haven't been blogging for 2 weeks! I have started worked at Body Inc, The Health Club since 1.5 weeks ago, doing marketing. I have to say, its really an awesome experience so far :)) I'm a noob and know nothing about marketing but the 2 bosses there are very willing to teach! And I thank God for the the chance to be introduced to them and work in the company:)) I have been working for the past 10 consecutive days, including today, without a break as we had an event booth last weekend. Even though i'm really tired physically, but I look forward to going to work! haha I share a small office room with my collegue friend, Jes and she's v experienced in the beauty line as she was the manager of another beauty company previously. But the thing is that, she's very humble, motherly and...very funny Lol..I had so much fun being in the same office room with her:) On my first day of work, I was a bit stunned when I saw Zoe haha she started working there few days before me and it was good knowing a friend is working in the same place as me! She's really a sweet looking & pretty girl! And our TCM physician, Doctor Ma, is really a very nice & amicable lady. We always crowd around her to ask about health issue and she's really knowledgeable. haha some sort of free consultation man. Most of my others collegues are older than me, and they have teenage kids! But they still look young! I was really shocked when they told me they have kids as big as 14,16 years old! I couldn't believe it coz they really maintain their figure and skin complexion really well. And ya, I am the youngest in the company.

As I have no experience in marketing at all, I worked very closely with my boss and followed him around when he meets biz associates and partners. At times, i also dont know what to say during the meetings, so I would listen and try to learn from them. But I thank God my boss got funny bones. lol..Its fun working under him too! Also, he got lots of experience in media and marketing, hence he teaches and guides me a lot. He passes me a marketing magazine to read today and from there, he gave me homework to do over the weekend, and he will discuss and go through with me on monday. It's really 1 to 1 lecture and tutorial!! How to find this kinda boss nowadays?? He shared that he used to be very fierce and all of his female subordinates in his previous job will cry under him. But he said he thank God that He found God, hence I am in safe hands now. heh :)

I thank God that the 5 months of waiting is worth it because I get to do something that I really enjoy. I remember telling my close friends around me that I really believe in having a job position which I really love and enjoy. We get a job not just for survival but for a purpose :):)

I thank God for answering my prayers :) I will work very hard and try to learn as much as I can :)

Praise the Lord:))

Heart

HELLO FRIENDS! haha it has been a while since i last updated about my thoughts and feelings. I have only been uploading pics and my activities for the last few entries :)) Anyway, I'm still in my job hunt! And i'm not ashame to declare that! :) But I have to admit, i was a bit paiseh in the beginning, everytime ppl ask me what i am doing now, have i started working, i will sheepishly say that i'm still job hunting. However, over these months, i have learnt to be stronger and 'tougher' :)) I always thought its a taboo to not work right after graduation. For instance..many of us have this mindset that our value or worth is determined by the kind of job we work or how fast we find a job. If you don't get a job as fast as your other peers, means u are not better than them. I beg to differ. Our value and self-worth is not determined by our job or what we work as! And i realized that many times, most of our friends are cool with that, instead, they are encouraging. at least for my friends. They will just encourage me:) Even when they don't know what to say, they will just put in positive words. And yes, our words will frame our world :) That is why it is so important to stay close to friends who have a positive outlook. Like what pastor shared today, our outlook determine our outcome :)

"Hey its okay, take ur time to find a job! Better enjoy ur holiday now, u still have the rest of ur life to work!"


"I have been keeping you in prayer and i believe u will get a job position which u reallly like!"


"I'm believing together with u, keep on pressing on!"

:)

And have i met up with people who are at the other end? a bit critical or judgemental? Hmmm not really people who are like that, but honestly, yes there are just a few insensitive comments that don't edify me at all.

Wanted to write it down, but i think i will not do so :)

hur hur. Upset? Affected? Yes of coz! But only for that 1 min. Because I know and I know that I will certainly get a good job! And i definitely have the support of my friends & family and Jesus! I know.. they who gave insenstive comments won't be the ones whom i can rely on :))

Am I anxious?? Honestly, Yes and No. Yes, it's because its going to be the end of the year which means i'm not studying or working for nearly 5 months! doesn't look good on my resume. No, its because I really really believe that God will give me something really good. As long as I do whatever I can, do my very best, God will do the rest :))

And during these few months, I have learnt to appreciate little things. I learnt to appreciate the time spent with my friends & family. I learnt to think more about things. I get more time to read, exercise & go anywhere I want. And i learnt to appreciate the lesson plan that God has put in my life during this period of time. I was v easily frustrated and upset few months ago ( u can ask titus, lol..he knows & sees) because of the job thingie. Compare to now, i won't say it's gone completely, but it's getting lesser and lesser of that :)) I know i have to grow up and grow out of this. And for the past few week's de cg sermons, i just felt that the Word is so appropriate for me. About waiting for the appointed time, learning to be patient etc.

I thank God for putting beautiful people around me to encourage me during this period of time! :) And I have learnt the importance of self encouragement too :)


When I cannot see God's Hand, I will trust His Heart :)

Outing with cousins!

This is the first time my cousins and I went out together! Usually, we would just see each other during CNY, Christmas, birthdays etc; family gathering. Thanks to Jasmine, who organised this, we all met up!

Soup spoon! haha Jasmine is only year 2 in her poly years and she's having her attachment next week, hence, she insisted on treating us coz she said she's working Lol! Initially she wanted to eat at sakae sushi and asked us to go in coz she's treating. We dragged her away immediately and then, we went soup spoon!

After a stomach-filling meal, we went to arcade! LOL. We were hooked on this sweet machine and they spend a lot of money on it!

It's really quite cute and exciting! And addictive.

And yes, here is the fruits of the labour!! :) About 3kg of sweeeeetss to be brought home!

My cousins! We have lotsa cousins in my parental family. But only the few of us are around the same age! heh heh..i insist on being around the same age as them! They are only 17,19, 19. Rayner, Jasmine and Rachel

Cheers! :) 4 of us, plus my bro and jelaine ( jasmine's sister) travelled together when we were younger. We went Australia and Penang, hopefully we are able to do so again!! :)

Night Safari - Halloween Nigggght!!

FINALLY....!! Dear and I went to Night Safari together!! :) This is my 3rd time there in just 1 year, but this time is a bit different because it's Halloween Night!!!

I was so excited when i know that we are gg there coz it's something special! However, ONCE AGAIN, HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF. I made sure that i put dear's camera on my table so that i can see it so obviously and that i charged the battery to the max. And i kept reminding myself to put the battery into the camera, and then into my bag. When i was on the way to meet dear..ROARS!! I forget to bring my memory card AGAIN!!! :(

Thankfully, still got his hp cam! Shall let the pictures do the talking! :)

Here we are!

At the entrance, there are few ghosts and freaks trying to scare ppl by sneaking behind their back. there are really a lot of genuine screams LOL. the rest of us were just laughing at the different response! haha there's tinge of mystery and joy in the air! I was so paranoid everytime dear pretended to stare behind my back, as if the ghosts are behind me!!! =X I think he scares me more than the ghosts!





Gorgeous ghost!




This is the tram!
The butcher!






My favourite ghost! but she's so scary when she keep staring at me right in front of me!

Our tram tour guide!

If u have noticed, there is not many photos abt animals. lol..

Cook some soup Popo!

This Aladdin scared many ppl! wherever he went, there will be screams!
The happiest ghost ever! Mr Tin Man. lol full of smiles.





hahaha at this Freaky bridge, called the No Return Bridge, a small little boy, maybe 5 years old? was so afraid and genuinely fearful that he pulled dear's shirt, thinking that he is his parents! LOL.


Lastly, us!! :)

I think its not bad!! :) Its fun and entertaining! i give it 3.5/5 :) However, i feel that its a bit too pricy.
Admission fee + Thrill tram ride = $35.
No matter what, i had a great day w him today!! :) good night!

I had a great day with 2 of my fave girls, Grace and Kelly :))

Twinniez and I went to shop for her office clothes as she's starting work soon!!
CONGRATS TWINNIEZ! :)) hee and it is always a good time for us to catch up. She bought nice and sweet tops! But i didn't buy anything. saw many nice clothes tho! Really like the irresistable leather skinny pants @ mango. I'm not a fan of mango stuffs but that leather pants is really awesome!!! But over the months and years, i learnt to differentiate my "NEEDS" and "WANTS". and yes, that's a want. lol.




In the evening, Kelly and I met and we went to our favourite hideout. We have been to this place for a few times in this recent 2 mths. lol. Nice place to chill & catch up. And yes, we spend like 3 hrs just talking LOL. Our dreams, our future wedding, our retirement plans...u name it.. AND.... askin each other so weird questions. Like..

"Would u prefer urself to be 135cm or 210cm??"
"Would u prefer ur husband to be 140cm w a handsome face or to be tall guy with handsome face but is bald and have super big beer belly?"
"Would u want to be the CEO of Singtel but earning $2k per month or a road sweeper with monthly income of $10k?"
