This week was a fruitful one compared to the past weeks as I have obtained a part-time job. It's surprising actually. As the holiday is coming to an end and school is about to start in 1 month time, I gave up looking for a part-time job. Most of the jobs would require as at least committment for 1-2 months and so by the time I go for the interview, I won't be able to commit to the required working period.

But miraculously, the career advisory called me up and asked me whether I can work for 2-3 weeks. And of course, I said yes and so now I'm working as data entry clerk. God is indeed always listening to our prayers and answering them according to His own timing. All we need to do is to PUSH and believe. Interestingly, my workplace is the office above the BQ Bar at Boat Quay and lunch is provided. Yummy. I tried their prawn masala and it was delicious.

I started working on thurs and for the past 2 days, all I did was key in data (not much though), opening envelops and sorting and filing invoices, statements of accounts, ect. And I had a lot of time to slack and wait for things to do. It's quite boring and my back hurts but still, it's quite fun and I get the experience. O yeah..plus I don't need to wear formal, just smart casual. Hee ;)

As for today, the location change for ym (or shouldn't in be ys?) was great. It made it more like a service rather than a ministry. That's good as it is a service and not a ministry right? Anyway, today's theme was on Evangelism. The songs sung, dawn's sharing and the sermon preached were related to it. All I can say is interesting but I guess the leaders are going to have be the ones to start the ball rolling. Set an example for the younger ones to follow. O wellz.. dinner was wonderful as my mum cooked western food. Yummy!! And I had red wine. :) But I only drank a bit as I hated it and switched to sparkling juice. I prefer beer and white wine. Hehe.

O yeah..I was watching the news and this news on a case of a Christian facing execution caught my attention. The thing that really shocked me was when the news reported that the court has decided not to pursue the case after hearing he was mentally disturbed. What the heck!!! His conversion is due to mental problems. Nuts manz. Full report on http://sg.news.yahoo.com/060326/1/3zmx6.html.

Now to blog something that I wanted to blog earlier already as it was constantly in my mind but was lazy and not in the mood for blogging. Here goes: Remember the greatest commandment, "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength." and "The second is this: "Love your neighbor as yourself." (Mark 12:30-31a)? Wellz..I have some pondering questions on these 2 verses:
In Deut 6:5 it says,"Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength." Compare this verse with the one in Mark 12:30, how come the mind is being left out? Does it have anything to do with Romans 12:2a where it says, "...... transformed by the renewing of your mind."? How come is the mind and not the heart, soul or strength?

Hmm..okie..gtg slp alrdy. Feeling real sleepy and I have to wake up early to go to work. Nitez.
