Delight in simple things!

I'm going to try to put in little nuggets of what has been happening so far. And this is truly not representative of time.

I've grown a lot over the months. Not just in size, but in confidence and maturity.

Working with people older than me, but yet, not that old, has allowed me to see and understand more than what I thought is happening around me. I'm enjoying myself on the internship and 'eyelid' has been great to me thus far :) I always tell Michyyeoh, who is on NOC India now, that she should think of the goodness and look forward to learning something each day at work, which will bring her through the toughness of duties.

Well, this week, its probably going to be the most trying moments at work and I'm going to prove that I'm worth it! May the power be with me and that everything goes on smoothly :)

Since Wed we have been receiving news about Sister Linda Sim's condition and that she has been warded into hospital. And it just got worse. She went unconscious and then into a coma. Her organs began to fail.

This morning, we received news that she was confirmed brain dead and they removed the machines that have been keeping her alive so far. Soon after, she passed away.

She suffered from a very rare disease called pulmonary hypertension. More can be read here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulmonary_hypertension.

She is only 34 and has a little boy, Ravel, who is only 2 years+. She leaves behind a lovely family and many brethren in Christ.

Sis Linda Sim has always been a very encouraging sister-in-Christ. Whenever she could, she would pop by in church or on facebook and ask how was I and what am I doing now. She would share her experiences and advise. She brought me up in church, teaching me God's word, always being an encouraging sister. She has been a great example and I will always love her. I'm very happy for her that she is able to be with the Lord now and ended her suffering on earth. We will meet again, Sister!

Well, not so...

Actually, at any time of the day, I do have things that I want to record down here. Just that at that moment I do not have access. But when I do, I just don't have that feeling or want to record it down anymore.

My head just plays thoughts and another voice appears with what I want to say. Just that there is no transcript of it in the end...

Weirdly, I say.

On the whole, I am doing great :) Now on my internship at T.e.c.h. S.a.i.l.(o).r. :) Enjoying it lots and everyone here is really nice! Big boss from China spoke to me today and I realise how much initiative I haven't been taking. Ok will do from tmr onwards! It's coming to the end of Week 1 and I haven't cleared much of what is on the list :X This is bad...so tmr I have to clear them all.

Tonight is Sports night. But I don't play Squash. So "not" going. But we're celebrating a colleagues birthday and so we're ALL going for Sports night :) I hope to capture some pictures :)

And Ah Kong's birthday was on Mon, but we celebrated with Popiah party (as always) on Sun :) Here's a little special photo that he requested to take with me. And me ONLY :)) haahahahah! So much for 重男轻女 :) He loves this little princess :)

To my dearest friends, I miss all of you!

All the best to those who are going to have their exams :)

I'm going to be done with my paper on Mon :) Yes, only one paper this sem :)

Flying off to Hong Kong (Tues to Sun) :)

Ciao :)

Even though I've kinda neglected this page in a long time.

Things have been really busy as I end my semester soon in 3 weeks time.

So much for no exams.

But there are a lot of presentations and reports due soon.

I seek your prayers for me and that I may be a survivor of this semester :)

Meanwhile, I've had lots of fun with so many people these past few months such as my birthday, VV10, Hall Production...

And I've grown in the grace of the Lord with the help and encouragement of those in the faith.

To the friends that I haven't had a chance to meet up with you or to even say Hello on facebook, msn, email, sms etc...I remember and miss you all! May we all have more time to meet up with each other soon!

And if all things goes well, I should be on my internship with iLEAD soon :) Hopefully, if they manage to match me with a company. This will be my life for the next 7 months.

Lord, keep me safe in Your arms.

Lots of Love,

Pinkdelights.

I must not screw this sem.

And this kind friend popped up with this. Amusingly! He's a friend and senior whom I respect and appreciate him for the encouragement.

my 1st week of school was hectic!

Gerald says: (2:10:18 PM)

haha

Gerald says: (2:10:30 PM)

instead of viewing it as hectic

Gerald says: (2:10:55 PM)

why not come from a different perspective & think of it as keeping your life occupied with opportunities to display your true potential :)

Gerald says: (2:10:58 PM)

haha

Gerald says: (2:11:01 PM)

it's always easier to say

Gerald says: (2:11:22 PM)
