Duty Travel and other blabberings.
yet another week has passed... and my blog is seriously in need of an update.
it has been hectic. i've been flying to and fro vietnam, ho chi minh city. sadly, for work and not for play. the only play i have in that city is night shopping after work. ok lar, there is also always the promise of good food, which i really thank God for coz i'm really particular about food... here's a little sneak preview...
it's quite fun to be travelling for business once or twice, just to have a glimpse of what life is like for those "frequent flyers". and i assure you, it is no fun. it's fun the first time... and maybe the second as well... right now, i'll be flying back for the third time tomorrow. yikes! and this time for four days.
but don't ask me where i've "played" in vietnam, coz the only place i'll be in the day is my vietnam office. haha. oh well... and at night, i'd recommend ben tham market. quite a touristy night market in hcm city. it closes at 11pm.
work aside, the past two weekends has been very very fruitful...
5th, 12th, 19th, 26th may - i've been attending SOL3 (school of leaders level 3) for the past 3 sunday mornings. i've learnt a lot during those lessons, especially about leading.. and being a supernatural leader. and above all things, i'm constantly reminded that being a supernatural leader is about walking close to God and being in a constant attitude of surrender. the fact that God is still all the more interested in the character He is moulding in me than what i can actually do for Him... coz at the end of the day, what can i really do? i have to admit that it's all by His grace and power.
19th may - as some of you know, i join SS & DK to teach tuition to some kids from SY's school on most saturday mornings. the last saturday we had some fun and games. i really enjoyed myself. i hope the two kids who joined us had fun too... though i know JH looked a little sad coz of her exams... poor girl...
we played ice breakers and captain's ball... what was really funny abt the captain's ball was that we all felt really "nua" that morning and someone said let's play "nua" captain's ball.
yeah right.
i was sweating profusely after the game... bleh. hahaha... but no doubt it was fun.
20th may - on sunday we had a QQS getting-to-know-you BBQ. it was fun. we played this really confusing wacko game and sang silly songs. hahaha.
23rd may - on a wednesday i met a shopping buddy, KX. hahaha... KX, you're my shopping buddy man... i realise that every time we go out we'd end up shopping!! it's fun. i totally enjoyed it =) (ehm... and i bought my evening dress already... guess where... you'll sure get it right =P)
15th-22nd may - i really enjoyed my last two weeks (excluding the duty travel)... not just because of fun activities but because i got to meet new people, catch up with friends and my kids. enjoyed talking to JA... according to her i'm the person whom she chatted with the 2nd-longest... what an honour! and DL, passed her maths exam!!! i'm soooo happy for her!! indeed God has been faithful and has heard our prayers! i pray that God will continue to reveal to her how much He cares for her.. =) joy..and i also called up the other kids... wanna spend more time chatting with my gals. to you who're reading this, believe it or not, i enjoy chatting on the phone with you!! =D
26th may - on saturday also spent some time with YF and WT.. here's a picture of a game we played at the net meeting.
wished more of them could come.. oh well...
and that night, i went for a balloon sculpting class. i thought i'd be scared of balloons but it was alright...it's not that easy to burst them. here's a picture of me in a hat i made. =P
27th may - yesterday i watched pirates of the caribbean 3! well, it was not bad... caught it coz i wanna know what happens in part 3. there's this like movie serial craze going on now... shrek, spiderman, fantastic four, harry potter.. phew... lots of movies to catch!
that's all for now... just felt like blabbering on happenings...
