Roller-coaster.

It's been an exciting two days, because:

1. I got rejected from a job application.

2. I got an offer from another job application.

3. My boss counter-offered something even better.

All in two days! 

I'm very thankful for all that has come my way. God first humbled me with the initial rejection, and then encouraged me with the subsequent offers, so that through it all I may remember that all good things come from Him and Him alone. It wasn't by my own ability that I got anywhere at all. All wisdom and knowledge comes from God Almighty. He knows what I need and lovingly provides for me.

All that you have comes from God too. Have you thanked Him for the people who love you, for the job that sustains you and for every little joy in life?

One of my favourite psalms from the Bible says:

When I was younger, I thought this verse means that I shall not want the Lord as my Shepherd haha. Very poor language skills I know! But no, it means that the Lord is my Shepherd and because He is taking care of me, I will not be in want, because He will make sure I have all that I need. :)

Here's a song that Ling and I recorded for our parents' day project thats inspired by this lovely verse:

Lyrics here! :)

Are there any of you also facing a dilemma or a difficult situation? Are you going through rough times in life? God can give you peace too, just like how He has given me. He is just a prayer away. :)

Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.
- Matthew 11:28

Thankful for the new opportunities that God has placed in my life, boyfriend and I had a celebratory dinner, Singapore style.

Love having simple fare at traditional hawker centers and old markets. Good food doesn't have to come with big bills. :) Singaporean readers who love fried hokkien mee, you have to give the old Bukit Timah market a visit!

Even though it is tempting to stay, seeing how much my boss wants me to stay, and how I've grown to be so comfortable with my current job, I have made up my mind to move on with a heart to learn and grow. Though the new job would be full of challenges and uncertainties, I know wherever I go, God is never far away. He will lead me as I go along. :)

Here's to new beginnings!

Worthy of a Song.

Owww ate too much. PMS still going on!

Anyhow, as promised, I shall take some of my lunch time (I know its late sobs. Citi isn't the only company that never sleeps.) to post one of the songs that Ling and I recorded for our parents for Mother's Day. We thought it wouldn't be nice to just sing for mum so we're including our father in this too! :) You can read up a little more on the project here.

We were too concerned about working first during the recording that we didn't care much about photos. Still, I managed to take these:

Ling, who was very shy to sing in front of John for the first time haha.

And here's John. Thank you kind sir!

We did 8 songs in 5 hours! I wished we had more time to re-record all the flat notes (sobs) and adjust the volumes of various tracks but John (who offered his recording system for free!) was already kind enough to sit 5 hours with us for nothing.

I'll put up all the songs up on youtube in due time, but for starters, here's the first one:

Still

By Hillsong

Hide me now

Under your wings

Cover me

within your mighty hand

When the oceans rise and thunders roar

I will soar with you above the storm

Father you are king over the flood

I will be still and know you are God

Find rest my soul

In Christ alone

Know his power

In quietness and trust

When the oceans rise and thunders roar

I will soar with you above the storm

Father you are king over the flood

I will be still and know you are God

May this song bless my parents and all others who hear it, including you. :)

And may God be pleased! :)

Enjoy!

Jet-Setting.

Its been 4 months since the Bali trip in December and I'm feeling restless again! So many people have already made holiday plans and I'm itching to book myself a trip too.

Its funny, I never liked travelling when I was in my previous job, which required me to fly once a month. Now that I'm out of it, I seem to love going away! It isn't a case of discontentment though... flying for work and flying for leisure are entirely different experiences. When you fly for work, you work 24/7. When you fly for leisure, you play and rest 24/7! 

Going to HK with sister in June and I CAN'T WAIT. *bounces on seat with excitement* Travelling with family rocks 'cos there's really nothing much to get used to. We've had the worst fights and best heart-to-heart talks. Thank God that I have a friend in my sister. :) Its a blessing that I really cherish.

Back to travelling plans, there are plans for a trip to Aussie for all the '86-ers from church. 5 of us, a nice number for car rentals. :D Can't wait for that too! I've been to Aussie when I was in primary school but I remember almost none of it now. I've got the memory of a goldfish. :(

Anyways, boyfriend and I were talking about travelling over dinner yesterday and he kept harping on wanting to travel alone in June and I don't know why but I started crying. I suppose I felt worried but even I was amazed when the tears just flowed without warning. Sometimes I cry so easily!!! Must be pms. 

So I just sat there and teared for about 20 seconds while chowing on my bah chor mee. It was a ?! moment mixed with a good amount of embarrassment. Who cries in public while eating bah chor mee?! 

*smacks self*

Oh and happy easter! :)
Here's my favourite song on Jesus' glorious and joyous resurrection:

It's indeed worthy of celebration. :)

Thank you Jesus!

Good Friday.

Our gift for parents' day this year is a fun project: a CD with 8 of our favourite worship songs, music by the talented people from church and vocals by us! :)

We spent an hour today recording the music tracks with music prodigy Huey. Minus the time to set up the recording system and settle down, she took only 20 mins to finish 5 beautiful piano tracks! In her own words, "God created me so He's the real prodigy."

Indeed He is. :)

We'll record the 3 guitar tracks tomorrow after service and the vocals *gulp* next sunday at John's with his power song system (which he usually charges $40 per hour for!).

Thanksgiving to God for planting the idea in our heads, for providing the people and equipment to make it work and also for the gift of music. :)

Shall upload the songs on youtube when we're done kays! Must pray for good voices on recording day. :)

It was a Good Friday well spent.

Thank God for everything!

Time for bed!
