I never knew loneliness when I've never really meet loneliness.
I can be fine on my own in the past, now I dread the thought of it.
But after talking to you about it yesterday, it is not that bad.
It's good to be alone, to spend quality time with You above.
I will be still, know You are God.
I must learn to talk less and listen more.
Hai~
No more chatters.

My God is good!
Oh, praise Him... praise Him... Jesus... lalala...
I won!
2nd prize!
3 days 2 night Cruise to Redang, Msia.
I wanna get a 3 days leave!
I hope I can take leave!
I can go play for 3 days!
Freedom!
Heeeeeeee haaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

I've been clicking, clicking, clicking, clicking and clicking.
This is what I do at work.
Click, click and click.
I expected graphic work to be like that.
I get bored stiff really often.
I blank out most of the time.
I end up doing things like blogging. Hehhe
And unconsciously, at times, I'll find myself talking to Grace No. 2 and sending non-reply 'smses'. (You come back now!) Whahahaha!
But no doubt, I do get pleased with the results at the end of the day.
When I see my messy sketches come alive.
It sure is satisfying.
I'm going to stay on in this for awhile and God knows what's next.
Yes, He really does.
I do hope I can get around some kidz, 'jumps', ‘sings', 'dances', 'laughs', and more kidz.

I have a really great God!
And His greatness has brought great friends!
I really thank God to people like Yan, Na and Zhen who never fails to meet me up and for not slapping me for bugging them SO much.
Even though we don't really do much when we meet, partly after hectic working hours, the company that you girls gave is really appreciated.
To Trinity, you girls have never failed to assure me.
To my 'lunch group' on Saturday, it will be permanent, because of evil school, my discipleship is on the weekdays now. Come join me for lunch every Saturday, 2pm at 852 bus stop.
To people who called and ‘smsed’, thanks a lot!
To Jap, thanks for keeping me company, vice versa, thanks arrr…
Sab, I’ve been collecting something for you, I’ll pass it to you after a 100 years. Wahhahahaa! It will take quite awhile.

I can’t wait for my 'animal series' to launch, another 6 months to go, I think. It’s not the best design in the world. But it’s something I’m really proud of because I haven’t done this for quite some time. I never knew I could ‘do animals,’ I thought the furthest I could ever get is to visit the zoo. We’re going to the zoo, zoo, zoo, how about you, you, you, you can come too… lalalalalaaaaa…. Miss those days. A lot!

Don’t be discouraged should you be suffering right now, because they’re your glory. With faith, approach God with freedom and confidence. –Ada

One of the greatest encouragements I can get during the weekdays are from Trinity. It is when I’m out here on my own that makes me want to stay close to the fire. Can’t wait for weekends to come!

I tried really hard. To talk about Christ with you. But it doesn’t work. I felt insulted when you said you believe, yet you did all that nonsense. You don't understand, only the people in the fire will understand what is it when God works. I’ve tried, I failed. I’m gonna try harder the next time.

Salvation is here!

Romans 5:8 God demonstrated His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

Yes Sab! Tell me about it! Work is real tiring.

These few days has been spent on wakingup early, reaching home late, rushing through house chores that nobody bother to do and blister-torn feets. I bought feet-eating shoes Sab. I'm so packed, especially with the 5 1/2 working days.

Weekends are packed!

I hardly have anytime left for myself. Especially with my army boy released on the full-packed weekends. (no complains) I'm finding my priorities shifted, my schedule is messed up when there are events and meet-ups on weekends. It's tiring to squeeze everything on weekends. I'm catching my breath and trying to 'adapt' to this work pace and trying to get as much rest as possible.

Weekends are jam-packed.

So, I promise I will do my best to please the majority, so do pardon me when I have to leave in the midst of something or be late for another. (hehehe, ada ya) But of course, God comes first, next His people and His activities. I won't get this messed up.

And to end, my God is still good no matter what. Nothing can change that. Thank You for shaping me to be stronger. I'm weak, but You are strong. As I hold on to You, You gave me abounding joy that no one can explain. This race and battle still goes on with or without work, I will never allow the evil one to choke me up with all that business, I will not be moved.

Psalm 27:1-2 The Lord is my light and my salvation, whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strongholdof my life, of whom shall I be afraid? When evil men advance against me to devour myflesh, when my enemies and foes attack me, they will stumble and fall!

Hear, O LORD, my righteous plea; listen to my cry. Give ear to my prayer— it does not rise from deceitful lips. Psalm 17:1

Can I love without linking?

Whahahahaa!
I know it's a little weird.
But it looks nicer this way, doesn't it?
No more links.

Yep! I made it! Yanni! New stuff!

But! Can somebody help to remove the purple/blue outline for the icons! Can't stand it!

You are faithful. When I put You first and honor You, You do the same. It’s miraculous, how you shuffled the time. I will always be on time. It is really important to dig deep into the Word, because without hiding them in my heart, I would never have found life. And You wouldn’t have the chance to speak to me.

Revelation 1:5-6 To Him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by His blood, and has made us to be in a kingdom and priests to serve His God and Father. To Him be all glory and power for ever and ever! Amen.

Congratulations Miss Chan Jia Yan! (Ok, I’ll spare you from the chan song)
Congrats on your graduation!
I can’t help but feel envious! Hehehee.
You will be able to work with kidz for the rest of your life!
Maybe I’ll switch to your line soon. Hee.

I’ve got the rest of the day all to myself. Joe and Jean won’t be around. I’m designing a product now. Jon and Sab, when was the last time you took a pen to draw something? I’m struggling a little. I’ve lost the momentum. But I’m getting it back. You two, remember to take out your pens and draw before school starts.

Yea! I’m finally having dinner with some souls later. 3nity! Aren’t I blessed to have you girls. And not to forget Jere, ZX and Shun. Thanks a lot! I don’t know how long I can stay in this 9 to 6 routine. It’s monotonous. Time goes slower when I’m alone. I remember back then in Fullmark, time passes so quickly. We would be talking and it’s time to pack up. Wahhahahaa!

Oh ya! The family here are Christians! They attend Teochew church. No wonder they are so fine and pleasant. They are fine people, it’s just that I don’t get any opportunity to hang out with them and the BABY.

So if you see me talking to myself one day, don’t fret. It’s normal. I think by next week, I’m going to smuggle songs in my computer, Class 95 is driving me crazy. Joe listens to that. No grumbling, at least there’s some music in the room, if not, I’ll be talking to myself in dead silence. Argh!

It's good to journal/blog. This kind of long entry are written during work. But I can only do it when they are not around. The main reason is, yep, Jon and Sab, you got it right, noisy fingers. Wahhahahaa! I type with great force and noise,and it can create a racket with my long nails. The thing is I really can't help it. I'm strong, that's why. Heeeee

But still, my God is a good God. Maybe I’ll be able to hear Him more in this silence. The never ending journey enables me to memorise and meditate on His word. So this is definitely something positive. It’s really important to keep His words in my heart. What else can be better than holding on to His promise. Singing… all Your promises won’t let go of me… la la la….

Joe, I’m done…

Sab! Thanks for calling.

I did a packaging design for pencil lead that I’m pretty proud of. Hope you all will see it soon.

I realized I can’t work without details. On the other hand, Joe delegate work without details. I guess this is what it means to take initiative. It takes a lot to adapt.

I’m learning… There are so many things to learn. I thank God for Joe. He’s nice. He taught me a lot of stuff.

We live in a world without hope. A world that says you are beautiful when you have a great figure, when you put on nice clothes and make-ups. I’m so glad that my worth is not determined by worthless talks and gossips. I’m of worth because in Your eyes, I am made perfect in You.

I’m so glad that You, Jesus, see me beyond what people see. You see my heart, You know my deepest secrets, You are trustworthy.

I was crushed when you said we weren’t meeting next week. We must meet alright, Yan. If not I’ll die of loneliness. And not to overlook the fact that I miss you girls a lot!

Gmail

Do you know you can chat in gmail? K, now you know. Log in during the day to look for me. Wahahahhaa! Pardon me la. I need communication and companionship. Hee
Anyways, invite me at juzgrace@gmail.com

1:05 PM

For those who are wondering what I do at work…

For now, I do mostly packaging design and a little of product design. I can’t show you anything for now because I can be sued. But I’ll definitely tell you when it’s out in the market. (can’t wait!) I do hope you can support my first design, nothing fanciful, it’s a packaging for magnetic pins. So if you are reading this… when it’s out, go buy arrrr!

Sab, I’m not sure whether it is you I told. There’s this shop at Toa Payoh that serve great desserts. I found it! So come join me for dinner sometimes.

Other than having lunch alone, I have my dinner alone too! Oh great, I’m becoming more and more like a lone ranger. The journey back home takes me an hour or so, so I prefer to have dinner before I reach home (yup, mummy don’t cook.) So, you, who are free out there at dinner time, join me for dinner.

I used to like having meals alone from time to time, but now! Hate the thought of it! Oh ya! I miss having lunch with you, ‘Fullmark girls.’

Can’t wait for 6pm to come. K.A.T! Pastor Yvonne, I am never ever gonna miss our meetings. Hee

11:22 AM

Work, work and more work

This is the very small company I was telling you about. This is a plan view of my room. The table looks spotless, but the actual fact it, it’s flooded with a lot of stuff. I just don’t want to waste time drawing them out, it would have taken me a day to finish up my plan view then. After adding all the stuff on the table, I’m usually left with a small area, squashed right up to the corner.

The job scope and workload are fine for me. It’s just that I can’t help but feel lonely here. This is a family business, leaving me out of the culture. I’m usually alone in the room, because the other two are busy running in and out of the place. There is no way I can communicate with the other people in the other rooms. So I’m left all alone when it comes to lunch. Yes! I have lunch with me, myself and I! And I just realized that the maid will cook lunch for them, so they will just have lunch in the office, as one big family. Now, I hardly have the chance to utter more than 10 sentences. I’ve got no one to talk to! Maybe my last resort would be to talk to myself or talk out loud to God. Wahhahaa!

I don’t know how long I can take this silence. I deem it as bad. But maybe, You are changing me somewhere or somewhat. I’ll be positive and talk to myself. Wahhahaa!

I’m adapting… Soon enough, I’ll fit in. I’m trying. God, be with me. You guys who are having fun in school, pray for me.

I miss school! I could talk non-stop with my SV-GJ 2312 and have breaks all day long. I miss my cell, I could talk non-stop about God and have fun there. I miss PKC, I could dance and do silly faces there.

My God is a good God. He loves me. Nothing can rob my joy, for the joy of the Lord is my strength.

Work

I'm finally at work and finally working. I really want to thank all of you for the encouragements. Especially to people from cell. You know who you are, ya. I mean all of you (except Jean) are younger than me and you are pouring in so many encouragements and advices for me. Thank you, Ade and Jere, for praying and being there when I felt so helpless in the morning. When I realized that I was lost, I almost wanted to go home! Fancy having to walk around in heels and under the scorching sun! I really saw the power of koinonia this time round! It is more than meeting up everyday and stuff we read about the churches back then, it is remembering, loving and keeping each other in prayers.

And to Hua, you know what I’m going through and I’m really glad to have you there to support me (like I said, all my cell friends are younger than me).

And to Sab, Yan, JR, Jason and the rest… Sab! Thanks for calling. Yan! Thanks for ‘smsing’.

I’m doing fine (I think). This is only the first day.

No more late nights.
No more ‘ba shan’ (ZX and Jere, hand me a hanky please. Blows nose at you two!)
No more MSN.
No more of doing nothing.
No more fun with Sab! (sob sob)
Yup, Shun, now, you can pray for me (the 2 Ds). I need them now.

Yep! Back to reality!
It’s another journey, another path that He will mold me to be who He wants me to be.

And for people like Ting...
I'm working! Ahahahhaahaa!

Nothing much, but we were all ecstatic meeting and catching up with each other
Pictures will come later...

:(

This is the worst day ever
I almost got the job
I never wanted anything so badly
What happened was...
I went for an interview in the morning
I was hoping I could get the job
For the whole afternoon, I was waiting eagerly for 'the call'
It didn't come till 5pm
So I went to check my mail
And there was a mail from the company
It says that I've been offered the job and the contacts that I've provided wasn't able to reach me
So I called and asked
And she told me that she had offered the job to someone else because she couldn't reach me!
Yes, it was my fault! Both contacts were wrong!
I've written the wrong digits!
Oh my!
I feel like dying now!
But nevertheless, there is still hope
She dropped by a mail saying that she will call me tomorrow
I want this job!
Real bad!
No matter what, I'm gonna trust in You
You know what's best for me
