anybody home? :) i ended my 3rd week of work and i hope im somewhat on the ball already. my buddy's going on leave next week onwards which means that i'm on my own! hopefully no working late! :D met up with elaine just on thursday over lunch at bugis. thanks for the lunch anyway! :D really had a good catching up with her and sharing session. she's one of those people i can have my verbal diarrhoea without any care of the world..... working in a hospital made me realised that conceiving a baby and giving birth to one healthily is a miracle. there so many parents out there trying so hard to conceive one, well some little ones may be put right into the incubator intubated right at birth till many months, with no idea how their future is going to be like... its a miracle that i am healthly, alive, and kicking right at birth.. :)no wonder God says.. that children are gifts! :)

change
i need to change of my wardrobe now... more formal clothes!2nd week of work is over! with a great start of a 4 day work week last week due to PH on friday. more holidays in december!still getting used to the work and learning a lot of things.. so much to learn and know. i think i barely know 20% of it yet. but YES I CAN DO IT! :)i like what i am doing so far, and im thankful to God for great and helpful colleagues. currently all my colleagues and peers are females! except for my big boss! He looks like a very kind and approachable man too! was sharing with my dad that given this position and this career, i am 'force' to increase my knowledge, my capacity and maturity beyond what i am comfortable. i think staying on course with a positive mindset is very impt for people who are pushed to move beyond their comfort zone. so far the work has brought indeed brought in the satisfaction and fulfillment. i am expecting much more to come. :)thankful for oppt place in my life that will bring me to greater heights! :)i need more working attire. things i need to get are...
- more formal clothes - blouse, shirts, jackets ( YES YES YES!! ), a suit, more comfortable shoes that preferably has no 'clock clock' sound..
- a small little bag so that i can bring it with me when i visit the ward or go for lunch - best if i can put the strap on my shoulder.. hiak!
- a good moisturiser to put in my office for my skin
- pretty stuff to put on my table to cheer me up and keep me motivated
and many more. i mean women. how do u define 'enough'?
just had my h1n1 vacine today! hoepfully it helps esp during this hoilday season.
let's shine for Jesus! :D

i thought i had a few days more when i typed the last post. but it happened hours after that. the nurse called us in the wee hours of sunday morning and asked us to rush down to the hospice to spend our final hours with her. she passed away peacefully in the early afternoon with many love ones by the side.i have decided not to blog the details. because it is now not the sad moments that i want to remember and share :)thank you all for your kindest love and support during this season of my life. it is certainly a BIG BIG transition with the lost of grandma, and then starting work the following week. i can do it! :)

she was young and pretty,
she became a wife,
she became a mother,
she became a grandmother, my ah ma.
she used to wait for me at the park where i would cross the overhead bridge to get to her house after school. she cooks great egg fried rice, the teochew mee hoon kwey, and she never forgets my favourite si shuang cai teng. she'll fry fresh onions and i will sit by the kitchen table to have the first serving.
i'll sleep with her on her bed for my afternoon naps. she still keeps my little bolster i used since i was young. she sees me role play as a teacher when i was young, walkin around her house but she doesn't think i am crazy. when i feel constipated and had problem with my bowels, she said by the toilet door, and said, " ummmmmmmmmmm! " i'ld ask her for a dollar or two to buy my favourite snacks from the mama shop below her house and give her a red bean ice cream in return of her favor at times. and once in a while, she stretches out her hand and ask for a share of the snacks that i bought.
sometimes i get naughty. she threatens to 'boot!' me with the belt behind the door. but like what you think, she doesnt do that. never once.
she's now at the final walk of her life. i feel sad to need to say the final words....
will there be a miracle?

:)
really want to thank God for my sweetest boyfriend and playmate for being always there to support me while i go through this (to me) very big transition of my life. he was there throughout when i was studying for my exam while i would many times impatiently talk to him due to all the stress that i was going through. other than many good friends around.. he was there to also assure and celebrate my good results and then pray with me that i will find a career that God will want me to be in. he prepares me for interview by asking me grilling questions which left me totally demoralised :S
he's such an awesome man :D
i love u! esp when you play with josiah!
