Update


Had a 2 hour briefing session today. Phew. Late! ><>
Heh... impressed!
1. My manager doesn't like to be called 'boss' or 'sir'; 'the customer is the boss'.
- Whoa! Haha.. i really got how service was the thing here. *sweat hope I have what it takes. :D
2. The extensive training that we've to go through, on top of frequent & surprise performance reviews - i tio stun. Seriously, I didn't expect the level of standard Starbucks has.
3. The emphasis on connecting w the team.
- Haha.. the motto & values kinda reminded me of how cell group is supposed to be like; treating each other with dignity & respect etc. I think that was when I started to relax.
4. So young! Most of the people I met are between 16(O.O) & 22, & they look like they've been working for ages!
Yay~ I feel like I'm now empowered financially to be more independent - like spending money on stuff like uniform, shoes etc. which brought me back $100, didn't have the effect on me as it would have maybe a year ago. Not that I'd start splurging once I start work (in Jan!) but that I'd feel more able to let go on stuff like clothes, makeup etc. which I didn't always have the cash for before this.
Anyway, today's service was good! =) I keep getting surprised by the date - I was so busy preparing for Christmas tt I wasn't aware it's just 2 DAYS AWAY! =) AHHH.... stress from last minute shopping! Lack of sleep, pimple outbreak... T.T Speaking of which, I need to get my 8 hrs of sleep today! It might be the last chance for a long while!
Haha... The drama was funny - much different in the sense that it was closer to home, that's why the serious scenes were registered more ba, as compared to themes in Israel, etc. Oh man, I LOVE the KIDS! Hahaha... there was this part (don't wanna spoil this for you if you haven't watched the drama yet please skip the paragraph), where the kids acted out the story of Jesus being born in Bethlehem (very smart I thought). Hahaha... so small! Like, the main actor was standing by the side watching, so was able to compare. One of the shepherds only reached his waist! Haha.. and there were kids dressed as sheep - the thing is that they weren't professional, but v sincere & it just was very genuine...& adorable! Hahaha..
Was at church at close to 7 am - followed Ai (new respect for hospi-ppl!) & saw several kids in the drama room. They must have arrived long before us to begin rehearsals. Man - that shut me up! So what if the doors don't open when you want them to, or when members don't come on time? Relax, (Jasper: Relac one corner) do what you gotta do & keep ur attitude right! =) So proud of the CHC children - they're gonna be worldshakers! =)

There must be more than this Oh breath of God come breathe within There must be more than this Spirit of God we wait on You Fill us anew we pray Fill us anew we pray Consuming fire fan into flame A passion for Your name Spirit of God won't You fall in this place Lord have your way Lord have your way in us Stir it up in our hearts Lord Stir it up in our hearts Lord Stir it up in our hearts Lord a passion for your name As Sy Rogers said today, there are things we can look back on, our memorial stones, that encourage us and give us strength to move forward. I rmb a time I was so far away and so tired of people in general, cos really it's relationships that really get me down - n when Jean would walk in on me crying or just sitting and not even having the energy to do stuff, she would listen n say 'just cry out to God alright?' and that would be the last thing i wanted to hear. sometimes you know what to do, and you know what the advice will be, but when the emotions are n...

Love is in the air...?

(3:0.) hmm.. feels like the season of BGRs, whether fulfilled, in the making or preconceived. Lol... my eyes almost fell out of my head when I saw the cover of Harvest Times. I was like, 'Whoa, Pst! Very sharp!' But then, that's after his dramatic telling of the 'Please stop match-making me... the person I want... is you!' thing... I wonder if he's behind it! Heh.. I've always been one of the youngsters chuckling behind my hand when Pst made those jokes about those singles who were 'feeling the urge to merge'. Now, with my 20th birthday just, (egads) around the corner, I'm suddenly looking around and seeing that I am now in that category of singles! (joanne clutches at cheeks & looks for a way out) Lol.. I can frankly say that I'm feeling the pressure. Not just because people I know are beginning to pair up, or coming to me to confide about their ex-es, but because of the whole stereotype of us being now of marriageable age, and therefor...

Aunt Karen just called mum to discuss plans for the trip to Whistler. awesomeawesomeawesome... no matter how cold it gets, and how early the sun sets, snowboarding will be worth it all! but seriously i'll be missing everyone in Singapore. i'm already feeling homesick every night thinking of all the things i'll be missing... no, check that, trading for time spent with family. :) no regrets, just... yeah. :'D thinking... i really wanna go for habitat for humanity. that's what's been keeping me off from the job hunt. but then i think of my parents, and i think that's selfish of me. i wish i didn't have to worry about money... so that i can give it to where it's needed. however 'World peace'-ish that might sound, it really doesn't feel good saying sorry, i can't, i'm broke. another random post marking procrastination... i should be studying now... BUT in my defense, this exam is seriously TOO drawn out. put me out of my misery nowwww ...
