Some space

It feels like it has been a long time since my last entry. And it’s strange, because I currently don’t have internet access here so I am saving everything in a word document. It feels like I have been working for a while, although I have almost been doing different things everyday. I generally don’t like Thursday because of the PCG meeting at 9am in the morning. I have to be so disciplined to show up at MPM’s office at 9am sharp. Then turn on my laptop and try to type as fast as I possibly can to record something which I don’t understand yet. But worst of all, I had to listen to the tape and fill out the parts that I missed out at the meeting. It usually takes hours and hours long. This is the 3rd PCG meeting I attend and I have done a much better job than I did last week. The minute also was sent out before I left the office. I am glad.

I am someone who’s always up to the challenge. If the bar is higher then I have to try harder to jump. At work, I am surrounded by a highly intense working environment. Pressure, speed, focus and coping with different types of people, friendly, the unfriendly, patient, the impatient, diligent, and the lazy ones. It’s very difficult to balance everything. But I always thank God for always bring me to a new stage in life. I think I am a very adaptable person. If God made light out of darkness, I believe I can spark in the night as well. I almost think that I can survive in any environment. And I thank God for giving me such confidence to even think that I can. Since I am busy everyday, I cherish my spare time even more. I am completely out of my time even for a short moment like this, being able to sit down and have a short reflection of the week, becomes so precious to me.

I am sitting at the window seat near the door on Level 2 at Wendy’s. I can clearly see the ASB tower and the Skytower from here. I can’t remember when was the last time I said I would not come to Wendy’s again because of the food. So today I make a same mistake. The food here tastes so bad now. I think I will try not to come here again next time.

Gali has gone back to Singapore. Of course we miss him. From his email I see he’s having a good start now. And I think he will enjoy himself more and more there.

Caregroup wise, I am sort of floating around between CCM and YA and finding it hard to settle. The feeling of having to leave one group early and rush to the other wasn’t that good. I wonder why Crystal would like doing that. But the busier I get the more I enjoy the fellowship or even just catching up with a few friends. Good news is, I have gained approval of leaving early Friday next week for the church camp. As in the future, I will try to do an even better job to “win” what I deserve.

My English is so plain, but I enjoy using it because it causes my ideas to flow. It’s a very good thing I suppose.

Ok, I think it’s a good time to go home now. Bye.

The beginning and the end

I am at the head office right now. Everyone is having a meeting except me. I don't know what to do! I took this job yeterday so today it's my first day at work. I arrived at the office at 9am but didn't get any work to do until 11am. ToT...Then we headed towards the Empire apartment to have Forcefield Access Controll meeting. I was told by TY even though we are in the city still need a car! TY who is driving a flash BMW is the current project manager. He's very well spoken and on the phone all the time! Unfortunately he's only gonna be here to train me up till end of this month and he will hand his work over to me and help me if I need him. So we arrived at Empire but many attendees didnot arrive until nearly 1pm! My job today is to take minutes, word by word. However, it doesn't take me a minute to lost what I am typing because I have no understand and background what they are talking about. Haha. Glad that we have Ray and Harry who have recorders and help take notes as well, so when we came back to the office I could listen to the tape again and again to write down whatever they have said. Whew...

Whewwww...((((TIME LINE))))....................

Just when I though I didn't have much to do in the afternoon at around 5pm. I was told to take notes again. And then...and then...and then...it was already 8:35pm!!! In the end I collected a pile of papers to bring home for study! Just as what my boss John told me, "You are now doing a Master degree in Property." Really really, it has speeded up my life soooo much in just Day#1. I want to catch up as soon as I can so that I don't need to get lost in the meeting and want to be really confident in what I will be doing. Yeah, so it's very very exciting. I need strength!

Btw, we also don't have specific lunch time. So we need to grape whatever to eat whenever we have some spare time. This is the game! And and btw, guess what? I drove a BMW by myself for the first time driving alone......so satisfied. :)

So today's title: "the beginning of my busyness, and the end of my free time".
