Move?
heart4God
To move or not to move that is the question


I am in the midst of contemplating whether or not to move to a different career. If yes then where to? I don't think there is such a thing of really having a job that fits everything you want but the problem with me is I can't see myself in the next 5-10 years. I guess that's even more frustration that knowing what you want and not able to attain that goal.

Greek + Toys
heart4God
From now till 24 May its going to be quite an interesting juggle. Work, Greek classes and the CIMA T4 case (Its about the Toy Industry this time round.... ie loads of reading up about toys and its design) which I unfortunately didn't pass the last round so yes it's on my to do list once again.

Despite the busyness, glad that we (my sis + her school mate / my senior) met up with our former CF teacher. Always treasured those special moments when we had to cross over the road to have our underground meetings and this special teacher , Mrs Lee used to come eventhough she has retired from the school just to encourage us. How awesome!!

Anyway, work is not getting any easier with new responsibilities and news that more colleagues are leaving the bank to greener pastures. I am also keen of moving on to greener pastures. It's really difficult not to want to move on especially when you see your peers overseas. I am really hoping to be able to get an overseas experience in my career. It will be good to go explore a different culture, a different environment, and a different country. I just love learning new things, exploring, just being able to do something different each day. Learning its just so fun and exciting in some ways....

Of course the dreams of doing my masters is still there. Sometimes, I do wish that I had enough to go see the world and also do my masters at the same time. Unfortunately, at the moment can do neither. With everything being so expensive, even staying a float in this economic crisis is not easy. Needless to say, luxury phones, clothes and fashion accessories is certainly not in my list at the moment. Amazing how some friends who are around my age are already getting their own cars, houses, property?? I am way behind in this monetary achievements. Nevertheless, I am still grateful that I have my parents home to live in, four wheels to enable me to move around, food each day on my table and the little extras that makes me 2nd - 3rd class in the society.

I still haven't figured out what I want to major in. Not sure whether I want to be in the same industry, or finally do something related to CIMA, or take on a totally different field..... Sometimes I wish everything is either black or white. 2 options are always easier, don't you think?

Anyway, for now I've got my paper to focus on, my Greek exams (Not doing too well, Greek is so Greek), and the other usual responsibilities in church and at work. Some cartoon humour for the week!!

Hong Kong Snapshots
heart4God
Too lazy to write. Enjoy the pictures below!! Work + Leisure is the way to go! Hopefully I will get to go for more of such conferences or work related things. An eye opener as well as a good time to see the different cultures. Love the richness of culture the world has to offer. Need to be a different place each time though. :p

An Extraordinary Trip - HKG
heart4God
Now there's nothing extraordinary in Hong Kong but the things that lead to this trip has been extraordinary. To sum it up I received my credit card few hours before my flight to Hong Kong, book an accommodation for the extra night in Hong Kong in about 2 days earlier and Levina agreeing to come to Hong Kong with just a few weeks notice. Oh and also nearly had the trip cancel the week before I was suppose to fly off. Seriously, to be able to go to Hong Kong and come back to tell the story is beyond this world. The timing can never be so precise. Well, all glory be to HIM.

His Blessings
heart4God
I'm living by His grace each day. This post is dedicated to the one who made me. The one I call my Father, my Lord, my Friend and the one who holds me in His hand.

Looking at the past few months, I can only say that the Lord has been good to me.

Church
Well, one of the hardest questions I get from people is how is church? Now it is a love and hate relationship with the things that is going on in church. It is strange how you can feel so much for something yet you can also be frustrated and the only thought is to move on. Nevertheless, I am thankful that despite it all, I see how the little ones are coming to know HIM more and more. How they are asking questions that really matters and questions that counts. I am encouraged each time I see their child like faith. I have learnt to just take each moment as it comes.

Work
Despite not being a "somebody" the Lord has open doors of opportunity for me to grow and learn in the place where everyone is of Senior Level. I am thankful for my colleagues that has not only be kind enough to be coaching me with my work and assigning me with task that is not really for my level. Thankful that they even allowed me to go to Hong Kong for an attachment as well as the Regional conference when people with my position (level) will never be able to go, what more with only a year plus working experience and slightly more than a year being with the bank. Truly! Only God could have made it all possible!

One lesson that stood out for me during this time is faith + believe. If you were a trapeze artist and were skilled at walking across tightropes over high places, you might even be willing to walk across Niagara Falls. In fact, I would have confidence that you could because I had seen your abilities as a trapeze artist. However, if you asked me if you could push me in a wheelbarrow across Niagara Falls, you would be challenging me to put my beliefs into action. This requires faith, participation, and risk, which, until now, was based only on mental assent.

I guess that is something I am learning to really trust God and jump in the basket even when the circumstances ahead just seems to screams the opposite.


"Thank You! Lord"

Thank you for being the GOD of second chances, third chances, fourth chances.... x chances
Thank you for loving the unlovable
Thank you for investing in a worthless, nobody, a tiny particle in the vast beach and turning giving me a new found hope!

Working relationship
heart4God
Welcoming the dragon with Yee Sang or was it wishing that all our workload lightens and have good bonus. =)

Christmas gift exchange after 2 years break I think. Feel like little kids again.

We even have nasi lemak breakfast together. Ok probably the first official one since a year +

Cam-whore in the lift. A failure indeed.

Welcoming 2012 with a good lunch together.

Friday's are the best! T-shirt and jeans :)

Multi-Tasking
heart4God
"It was so easy for me because the more balls I had juggling, the better I felt."

What a statement! I was reading this and it does remind me of me. Although, I complaint about workload but I like to take on a few things at one go that it becomes really weird if I have only one thing to depend on. Perhaps that's the reason why I must still study when I am working. If I have to work alone it would be weird, studying seems to add a different flavour to my life. However, I doubt those around me will feel the same way.

Anyway, the whole month of January has been a busy month and like what my buddy Levina says I like to be kept busy. However, not good to be busy all the time because there is no time to reflect and really re-think and that's why I like holidays! =)

So how what has Ms.Busy been up to see below :

1. I am taking Greek class now. Yes you read it right Greek. So the next time someone say are you speaking Greek? I might just turn round and say yes! Planning to complete the course which takes a year and yes its on Credit meaning its like college where there are test, mid sem exams and final exam. ("Just Great!")

2. In the midst of finish of my T4 CIMA paper. Unfortunate for me and though I hate to admit it. I have flunk my paper and just to make myself feel slightly better I needed one more mark to pass so yes I needed just one more mark to pass!! This adds another point to why I want to study in the US instead of the UK. So rigid!! However am quite grateful that the case study this round is also on an industry that I am quite comfortable with.

3. Oh yes and this month I will be sitting for my Certificate in AML and CFT paper. I have an assignment due this Friday and an exam at the end of the month. If I have the time to squeeze I would want to take up the Advanced Certificate which will run for 9 months. Longer duration to the one I am currently taking.

4. I will be flying to Hong Kong this month for work assignment but am so glad that I have the privileged to be able to bring Levina along. Flying up a day earlier to check the place out and its nice to be able to have company. =) So that's a whole week and certainly means more work to finish before I leave and more work when I come back =( But I guess its quite a rare opportunity and am thankful that eventhough I am just a low rank officer in the bank, God has given me the opportunity.

5. Lunch breaks are little walk and jog time. Have started going with my colleague to the bank's gym. Really quite refreshing eventhough its just an hour.

6.Visiting!!! It's been a month of visiting and meeting up. Met up with friends who are with YWAM who are back for CNY holidays, relatives, Convent friends and yesterday with the TARC CFers. Its really nice to meet up with everyone again. Hehe!!! Glad that we can go "pai nin" every year.

That pretty much sums up I everything I guess. For a person who complaints quite a bit, God has really been merciful. His love endures forever. Going to miss the public holidays....... May faster come!!! =)
