Week 94 - 1st week of internship
What is God doing in our lives this period? I think if i can summarise up mine, it would be 1st day God says, let's warm up. 2nd day on it's go! don't stop! your best! your very best! (Rem Facing the Giants?) Very reminiscent of year 2 sem 1 chuiness.
Brief background about CTI Chemicals Asia Pacific:
- Oil field chemicals company, service provider to companies like BP and Shell.
- Located at Science Park (near NUS)
- It has around 30 ppl in the Singapore branch, bigger fish outside though.
- The HR department has got my direct boss, and me.
- If you have friends in any field of engineering who intends to do Industrial Attachment Year 3 Sem 2, pls feel free to contact me. CTI looking for interns, think chem engineering would be a good course area.
--> God has prepared me for this. I know it. When i first saw this choice out of my 6, this was the furthest and i thought to myself, hmm maybe who knows God will give me this so that i'll be tested. After all, this was the furthest out of the 6.
Really thank God for this week:
- For nudging me to go to work as early as 7.45am so that i can do QT in the office before work starts at 8.15. (Prayer answered)
- For giving me a quiet spot to do work, where big bosses are not around.
- For reminding me about my inadequacies in the field, especially during the 2nd day when i followed my boss to a forum at soem hotel where we were discussing HR issues with many industry players. (Wah piang. Want to smoke also cannot, they know their stuff well.)
- For teaching me how i can support my boss and be a good armor bearer. Having loads of work and not being able to delegate the stuff to me cuz i'm still a noob in my first week of intern and need to learn the ropes first, kinda sucks.
- For showing me once again the realism of life outside from a different perespective, that corporate life ain't the most prettiest sight around when you're looking through the spiritual specs.
- For keeping me reasonably sane. Haven't had enough rest the whole week, but God has carried me through. (All rise to "He is able")
- * For allowing THAT time of lunch when my boss shared about her experience with Christanity with me. Felt burdened. Pray that God will really open up doors for more sharing.
Lastly, God sustains us through His Word. 2 verses that really shook me this :
Mark 13:11b Just say whatever is given to you at the time, for it is not you speaking, but the HS.
It is what i term "Living by the Spirit". When we are tired and weary, and still needing to be alert and focused, all the more so if we are speaking to someone who needs to know God, we really need the HS. Want to be more sensitized to the HS, that God's truths may speak through us as his vessels to people in the workplace. True, worldly temptations are all around (i feel them), no matter how much we consider ourselves to be more spiritual than others, we are nothing but mere vessels that can be moulded by God only if we are willing and humble. Love the times God humbles me through His Spirit.
1 Peter 3:15 But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect
I may not be that prepared. May not even be prepared 10 years down the road. But with whatever faith i have, i'll do my best. Just pray that we'll be willing to allow God to force the best out of us, just like how Brock did the deathcrawl with his eyes blindfolded.

Week 92 - Many thoughts. And experiences with God.
If you want to know more, ask me personally. I'll try not to look unapproachable. Alas, the "wonders" of a serious personality.
Disillusioned --> Illuminating
Where are You God --> with faith (mind you, tt's so little faith) --> He has worked it out.
Heavy heart --> My yoke is light.
All rise to the singing of "He is able". Ahhh bless tt song.

Week 91 - Exam period week 1
Good solid time this week. Busy, hectic, running through things, missing out on things, doing wrong things, doing right things. But if i can summarise up my thoughts and feelings, it would be "CUI". Mainly physical.
Though, some thanksgivings to make again:
1) Chao lao day.
My dear cg for making the efforts to celebrate my birthday despite the busyness of exams and deadlines. Special mention to Cat and Ashley who came down from town and the other side of the world to pulau ntu. Seng and SW for the prep of venue and food. OOps. that's all of us.
Also, to many others for their well wishes and prayers and notecards and hershey riceball and email. (:
2) Small talks with people
Very interestingly, these (at least 5) came mainly in one day. Till i alr so cui but still talking. But what's exams without fellowship?
3) Getting to know more people
Think it has been a blessing knowing people like Boon Han and Chee Han and Xiaohui (duno if i spelt her name correctly). Hopefully it was a good exp for them studying with our community as well. (:
4) Those who had flu/nose irritants like dust
Wah lao. The one thing that hindered me from staying in hall this exam period. Getting infected is one thing, breathing in dust is another. Either way, it doesn't work well for exams, interaction, and everything else in life.
Despite all the complain. Haha. But, i believe that it is all worth it. Jesus never shirked away, anyway.
5) QT/NT with God
The thing which brightens up any exam period even when things don't go well, people fail you, you fail yourself. I cherish these moments. Even if on the day guitar strumming sucks becuz of incompetency, it doesn't matter so much.
Spending time with God is good enough.

Week 90 -- A week of choleric-ness
Nth much to say this week, only that God, help me be choleric and amiable and reasonably sensitive at the same time. (:
Today i saw quite a unique sight. I was alerted by the sounds of the ambulance and i saw people gathering at the bus stop near my place. Upon looking closer, i saw a bus in the bus stop itself. Later my dad found out that the bus lost its control from the traffic junction 50m away and couldn't stop, knocking into a few cars and i think a few people as it went into the bus stop. OUCH.

Week 89 Part II - Set apart for Christ: Commitment Series Part I (yes, no creativity
God showed me once again why things don't happen by coincidence.
As i was reading the book of Haggai today, just like Simon Peter in John 21, there was this sense of deja vu. It reminded me of the first time i saw this passage, in Oct 2008 when i decided to commit my time to God for the 1st time. With limited understanding. When I noticed Jesus stepping into my boat and started to allow Him to work in me. This time round, i took home 3 slightly different things.
I was touched by the part about God bringing unique experiences to each and every one of us. However, i was slightly hesitant about what was ahead. Supposedly, i sensed the busyness of each and every one of us as deadlines/quizzes/and the exams approach. But just want to reiterate Tim's last pointers even as i remind myself with this.
When we focus on people, on things, we see the part we play, we see miracles happen. WE SEE RELIGION. We forget!
When we focus on God instead, we see Him coming down, reaching out, WE SEE THE RELATIONSHIP.
Think for myself there are moments in recent times when i tend to just do and do (yes, because of a certain fasting), but as a result my perspective tends to be more on things (maybe less of people). Help me remember God. Help me remember the good times spent with You alone, that i may realign myself back to not just doing Your work, but renew this RELATIONSHIP day by day.
Came home around 12.30am. Haha. Thankful that my dad didn't grumble for the late ride, but really. Felt that every one of us needed a personal prayer seeing the busy week just consume us. Thankful for the sharing.
On a lighter note, i am also slightly amused that some bird droppings decided to find its way on my WHITE shirt one fine afternoon. Lol.

Week 89 part I
Barcelona 4 Arsenal 1 (Champions League Quarter Final 2nd leg, Nou Camp, Barcelona)
(Barcelona scorers: Messi 21, 37, 42, 88)
(Arsenal scorers: Bendtner 18)
I was running through the Barca teamsheet. Indeed Henry didn't play. But who needs Henry against Arsenal when you've got Pedro and Bojan (apart from the 1st 2 strikers) who can score too? Enjoy. This is a Lionel Messi 4-bagger spectacle.
On the other hand, Arsenal went route one. 2 options, either release Walcott down the right for a burst, or pump the balls to Bendtner for height. The scoreline kind of proved its point when Bendtner failed to muster a shot on target in the 2nd half after being put through in the box. Nasri, more notorious in his usual position at the flanks, was lost in the crowd for most of the game. Apparently taking on the role of Fabregas wasn't the most natural thing.
On a week when miracles continue to happen in our lives, this one was not to be. However, some miracles which i want to share as well:
- Catherine's passing of her uncertain module, praise God for that.
- God really allowing me to see certain things amidst a tight week.
- Realising certain relationships grow in different areas, even when i am not fully aware
Back to work.
