New destiny...

Well well... after all my prayers and sweat worrying that I will not be able to get a job asap to sustain my living (show's money will come normally after 1 month of the performance) especially my car instalment, God has faithfully answered my prayer.... guess what?


Yeah, I got an job offer today.

Went an interview 10am this morning with CTW, a gift design and manufacturing company providing B2B services to the clients located at Sentul Bouleverd business centre.


My job position? You will never be able to guess it...


I am going to be a sales person this time!!! Sounds rediculous, right?


Yes I have been argueing and denying that I will never wanna be a sales person because I hate pushing sales and meeting targets. However, the interview session this morning provided me lots of insights on the job description and responsibilities. That interview secured my doubts on being a sales person. I have peace listening and observing what kind of working environment it might be if I would to take up the challenge.


She promised to give me the answer by Friday so I would start work from the beginning of Jan if the mother, who is incharged of HR agree on it. However, later the evening she called and granted me the offer.


God is soooo good... so faithful in everything He is to bless.


Even though the basic pay is so much lower than my previous job, I guess the job scope fits me more... I suppose.



so... in one day.. my mood of job hunting turned from anxious to stable.


I shall not mentioned more about it until I am both legs in the job.


So lovely peeps... be patient I will update more of it sooner (I hope lol..)




May God bless you with a wonderful year end and another prosper New Year to come. Amen!!!!

Melilea show again

Some of the girls have written on the Melilea show as well.. go pay a visit if you free to know what kinda FUN we had for the loooong hour preparation for the one day show yeah...


click on I-Lynn's blog, Stephanie CHU, Sze-Lynn (Z-Lynn) as well as our Princess Estella's (Winnie Thye) site to know more...


Have FUN reading!!

In reply to our Princess Estella

This is what our Princess Estella had written on her blog... since MySpace does not allowed non-members to leave any comment.. I am going to reply her through here... This is what she has written...


In reply to my dancers’ blogs...
Current mood: surprised

Today I managed to read some of my dancers' blog regarding the show we did last Sunday 16th Dec. I was pleasantly surprised at what they had to say. I would have thot that after a gruelling 2 full weeks of rehearsals and 2 sessions of 7-hour venue rehearsals at a stuffy, 'unair-coned' stadium would put them off these kinds of show for life! But I was wrong, pleasantly wrong...for what I understood from their posts...they were hooked!! Eva even asked me for more shows like this one!!! Goodness Gracious...

I suspect that there is a greater power at play this time that has somehow made all the hardwork, sweat, sufferring and pain go away. This greater power lies in the name of friendship and passion. I saw a great many true friendships forged amongst my dancers in this two weeks that they have been rehearsing together. Also I think they have discovered the passion and joy of performing what I would call a 'mini-musical'...for this time they were not there just to dance and produce steps after steps after steps...this time the steps were easy...anyone could have done it... but I think they enjoyed the acting part and to be part of the storytelling of the show. May not be much compared to full fledge musicals, but it is something different for them.

I was truly touched after I read their posts. For it's been a long long time since I've know enthusiasm and passion from dancers in general. This group is considered very very infant in their career as a pro dancer...some of them might not even last...but I take it personally, that at least this time there is a spark of passion, there is dedication and there is enthusiasm. I am truly proud of them and I hope that time in the industry will not dampen this spark, for it has done so in many of our dancers.



Yes Dear Princess, there was some supernatural power happening around us. The Friendship, and the Love we have for one another. We did not really have any sweat on our rehearsals, only the last two days' venue in Bukit Jalil. Furthermore, it was not torturing or suffering or anything.. because I felt so relax during the rehearsal. Other than the steps are easy... I shall say this out...'it's also because you enjoy the fun together with us unlike some of the previous ones...' Remember the day after I show them the freeze and all the sudden we all got down on the floor together to do crazy yoga post... stretching and etc? That pull you one BIG step closer to us. ^^ Also, I love the first rehearsal where you got all of us sit down together in telling the story line.


You mentioned the word different... Yes.. this time the rehearsal, story line, acting, and show is really different for us. We had not sat down together to listen of the whole story before... we had not done any stun before during rehearsal... we had not have any acting musical before... we had not feel so relax before for any show...

The main reason where we enjoy so much of the rehearsal is also because of... People. We have fun so much together.. because we treat one another as true friend. No politic, no jealousy, no nothing.. but just the same passion... performing.. and having fun at the same time.


I am surprised to see you blog about what we've written too... I thought you know how much we love and miss the time we had. ^^


It is really FUN... and I miss that badly... you might not noticed.. but I do notice that you have changed so much... I love your changed especially the fact that you take me as a friend instead of another one of your dancer.



Hope to see you soon.. our Princess Estella.. we will fight the 'Snake' and save you the next time eheh...

Melilea Show photos


Hey hey lovely people..


I have uploaded the Melilea show photos on my multiply site... go check out our FUN... ^^

Again, it's been days...

I did not update my blog...

My mind is been messy... other than the hectic last week of everyday rehearsals for the last Sunday's Melilea show @ Bukit Jalil Putra Stadium... I am busy too, looking for a new job.


Going to rehearsals... come back home.. check emails.. picking up calls arranging interview sessions... arranging dancer for some shows... etc etc etd...



My brain was quite in a mess...



I-Lynn is been chasing me for a new update on my blog.. yeah I should record these new sweeties in my post before I forgot about the fun and joy that I had with them.




The dancers list for the 16th Dec Melilea Show include two main characters-Jason (Sir Valent), Winnie Thye (Princess Estella), Male dancers - Aaron Khor, Eddie Chan, V-Selm (zai zai), Calvin (AhXiang), Alan (Ai Ren) and Female dancers - See Ngar, Stephanie CHU, Sze Lynn, I-Lynn, Hui Qing, Jo-Z and me.



In total, we had 7 days rehearsal (app. 21 hours) and two venue rehearsal at Putra Stadiun (app. 12 hours) and one full day of the real show day (10.30am - 8.30pm) on 16th Dec 2007. It sounds like a very hectic and crazy long hours practice for the less than few hours show, however, the process was really fun because this show include more acting than dancing. So basically we were laughing, joking, jumping, cut whiling, learning some funny stuns, talking nonsense and etc...


Friendship generated through the long hours of hanging out together, even though some of us first met at the rehearsal. Lots of laughter and funny times where I could not record them down one by one here... all I can remember is, there were so much fun!!


As the two days venue rehearsal were from 8pm till about 2am, some gals stayed over night in my small little room. ^^ That's was the time where we have crappy jokes and laughs...

In terms of age differences, they are just like 17-18 years old... but because of our passion for performance and dance, there were no age gap at all. Maybe because I am playful in nature some times I was the one leading them in doing some funny and crazy stuff to spare our long waiting time.


Yesterday we went out again, not only because we missed the fun we had together so much.. partly also due to the request of our lady boss Winnie Tai asking us to watch Peter Choo (one of the famous event dance choreographer in Performance industry)'s Christmas roadshow in Mid Valley to learn more on the experience dancers' face expression and how well they could capture the audience's attention.



As we were craving for both sushi and the show Enchanted for so long (we did plan a couple of times but failed to execute it due to time factor), so all the fun plan was nicely packly plan in accomplishing it in one day (meet in Mid Valley for 50% Sushi King, 4.40pm for Enchanted then 8pm for the Christmas dance performance). Finally, we got to carry the plan out nicely w/o any hindrances coming along our way. We took lots of fun photos too while walking around mid valley. In fact we did not do any shopping, our focus were very much on Sushi, Enchanted, Photo taking, then watch the dance. lol. Definitely, laughters and jokes never stop while we were hanging out... we just can't bear to say goodbye to one another, as we know we might not have the next chance to enjoy together again (some going to college soon, I might start working soon once I got one... one going on cruise for his singing career for 10 days, etc etc)...



Time is so precious, it never stops... good moment come and go... photo become the only thing that could hold our memory together... sad~ I so miss the rehearsals time for the Melilea show that I could have fun with the dancers. It's the first time where I could enjoy the rehearsal and show soooooo much. Beautiful memories... If only all the coming shows I could work with the same group of dancers and same fun spirit would be great, but that's quite impossible.


At the mean time, I am thinking what kinda job will best fit me due to my extreme extrovert characteristic. Talked to daddy over the phone just now because i am feeling really lost in all the job hunting. I do not wanna pick any because I am desperately needing a job. In addition, I do not want to pick a wrong one and in return become a job hopper. That's not my style... I want to take my job as a fun thing in doing each day... it's quite impossible to get those kinda job.. i believe many would say the same to me.


I have been following one of my dancer friend V-selm (zai zai) for his singing show for two days and was asked to perform few songs on stage. I felt so happy singing on stage... it feels the same as though I am doing my dance performance too. Didn't understand how much I love stage performances until I sang on the stage last night. However, I know clearly I can't take performing as my permanent career.. I have my commitment where I have to clear each month, I need a stable job.. singing and dancing could be taken only as a part time recreation for me.




So... please pray for me.. I need a direction in knowing what line I should go into and what job best fit me...


Thanks and that's all for today's long post...




Be Blessed!!!!

Why would bad things happen if God does exist?

Eva: Many do ask 'If God is real and He does exist, why would HE let so much of pain, suffer and bad things happening around the world, and especially to us, His creature?'
Let's read on the following story, it would best explain the reason of those pain and suffer.


A man went to a barbershop to have his hair cut and his beard trimmed. As the barber began to work, they began to have a good conversation. They talked about so many things and various subjects. When they eventually touched on the subject of God, the barber said: 'I don't believe that God exists.'


'Why do you say that?' asked the customer. 'Well, you just have to go out in the street to realize that God doesn't exist. Tell me, if God exists, would there be so many sick people? Would there be abandoned children?


If God existed, there would be neither suffering nor pain. I can't imagine a loving God who would allow all of these things.' The customer thought for a moment, but didn't respond because he
didn't want to start an argument. The barber finished his job and the customer left the shop.


Just after he left the barbershop, he saw a man in the street with long, stringy, dirty hair and an untrimmed beard. He looked dirty and unkempt. The customer turned back and entered the
barber shop again and he said to the barber: 'You know what? Barbers do not exist.'

'How can you say that?' asked the surprised barber.
'I am here, and I am a barber. And I just worked on you!'
'No!' the customer exclaimed.
'Barbers don't exist because If they did, there would be no people with dirty long hair and untrimmed beards, like that man outside.'


'Ah, but barbers DO exist! That's what happens when people do not come to me.'
'Exactly!' affirmed the customer.
'That's the point! God, too, DOES exist! That's what happens when people do not go to Him and don't look to Him for help. That's why there's so much pain and suffering in the world.'



Eva: So... when you are in pain, call upon His name. He is jz there at the corner waiting with wide open arms to embrace us...

WHY don't we pray?

The highest privilege ever afforded to man is the power of prayer...
The right to talk to the highest potentate in all the universe...
The most powerful force accessible to man is the potential of prayer...
The greatest longing in the heart of God is to talk to His children...

Nothing is impossible to those who pray...
No man ever fainted or faltered who gave himself to prayer...
Every sin is forgiven, every stain is washed clean, all guilt diminished to
the man who prays...

Hell moves farther away, satan flees from the man who prays...
Anointing will come, mountains will be moved, valleys made smooth, rivers
made crossable, the inaccessible made accessible, the impossible made
possible, dreams come through to the man who prays...


God said that men ought always to pray...

Paul encouraged prayer without ceasing...

The riches of heaven are open to those who pray in His name...


Everyone can pray, the young, the old, the rich, the poor, the strong, the
weak, the child, the aged, the sinner, the prisoner, in any nation, in any
language, all can pray...




...then why don't we pray?




WHY?

How to stop persistent night time cough?

My church member forwarded this to our e-bulletin... Why not give it a try if you have found no ways in stopping it. Share with me if it truly works once you try on...




Try this method if you have persistent cough esp at night!


It works 100% of the time although the scientists at the Canada Research council (who discovered it) aren't sure why.

To stop nighttime coughing in a child (or adult as we found out personally), put Vicks Vaporub generously on the bottom of the feet at bedtime, then cover with socks. Even persistent, heavy, deep coughing will stop in about 5 minutes and stay stopped for many, many hours of relief.

Works 100% of the time and is more effective in children than even very strong prescription cough medicines. In addition it is extremely soothing and comforting and they will sleep soundly.

It was a surprising finding and found to be more effective than prescribed medicines for children at bedtime, in addition to have a soothing and calming effect on sick children who then went on to sleep soundly.

An adult friend tried it on herself when she had a very deep constant and persistent cough a few weeks ago and it worked 100%! She said that it felt like a warm blanket had enveloped her, coughing stopped in a few minutes and believe me, this was a deep, ( incredibly annoying!) every few seconds uncontrollable cough, and she slept cough-free for hours every night that she used it.

So, if you have kids/grandchildren, pass it on. If you end up sick, try yourself and you will be absolutely amazed.

A story for you to laugh on...

A peasant was overseeing his herd of animals in the last family farm in Singapore when suddenly a brand-new BMW advanced out of a dust cloud towards him. The driver, a young man in a Brioni suit, Gucci shoes, Ray Ban sunglasses and YSL tie, leans out the window and asks the peasant, "If I tell you exactly how many sows and piglets you have in your herd, Will you give me a piglet?" The peasant looks at the man, obviously a yuppie, then looks at his peacefully grazing herd and calmly answers, Sure, Why not?"

The yuppie parks his car, whips out his Dell notebook computer, connects it to his RAZR V3 cell phone, and surfs to a NASA page on the Internet, where he calls up a GPS satellite to get an exact fix on his location which he then feeds to another NASA satellite that scans the area in an ultra-high-resolution photo.

The young man then opens the digital photo in Adobe Photoshop and exports it to an image processing facility in Hamburg, Germany. Within seconds, he receives an email on his Palm Pilot that the image has been processed and the data stored. He then accesses a MS-SQL database through an ODBC connected Excel spreadsheet with email on his Blackberry and, after a few minutes, receives a response.
Finally, he prints out a full-color, 150-page report on his hi-tech, miniaturized HP LaserJet printer and finally turns to the peasant and says, "You have exactly 986 pigs and piglets."

"That's right. Well, I guess you can take one of my piglets," says the peasant.
He watches the young man select one of the animals and looks on amused as the young man stuffs it into the trunk of his car.

Then the peasant says to the young man, "Hey, if I can tell you exactly what your business is, will you give me back my piglet?"
The young man thinks about it for a second and then says, "Okay, why not?"
"You're a MP for the PAP", says the peasant.
"Wow! That's correct," says the yuppie, "but how did you guess that?"

"No guessing required." answered the peasant "You showed up here even though nobody called you; you want to get paid inspite of your million dollar salary for an answer I already knew, to a question I never asked. You tried to show me how much smarter than me you are; and you don't know a thing about pigs...this is a herd of goats. . . .
Now give me back my dog."

Hearing God

Another story that I've found from my old mails... take as short as 2 mins to read on... ^^



The young man had lost his job and didn't know which way to turn. So he went to see the old preacher. Pacing about the preacher's study, the young man ranted about his problem. Finally he clenched his fist and shouted, "I've begged God to say something to help me. Tell me, Preacher, why doesn't God answer?" The old preacher, who sat across the room, spoke something in reply -- something so hushed it was indistinguishable. The young man stepped across the room. "What did you say?" he asked. The preacher repeated himself, but again in a tone as soft as a whisper. So the young man moved closer until he was leaning on the preacher's chair. "Sorry," he said. "I still didn't hear you." With their heads bent together, the old preacher spoke once more. "God sometimes whispers," he said, "so we will move closer to hear Him." This time the young man heard and he understood.

We all want God's voice to thunder through the air with the answer to our problem. But God's is the still, small voice. . . the gentle whisper.

Dear Beloved, perhaps there's a reason. Nothing draws human focus quite like a whisper. God's whisper means, that sometime we must stop our ranting and move closer to Him, until our head is bent together with His. And then, as we listen, We will find own answer. Better still, We can find ourself closer to God.

7%

Here's a forwarded mail from my Church, Grace Church e-Bulletin. It's a short and meaningful stories for us to ponder about how we, human tend to me selfish and greedy. I hope you enjoy it as I do...


A holy man was having a conversation with the Lord one day and said, " Lord, I would like to know what Heaven and Hell are like."



The Lord led the holy man to two doors. He opened one of the doors and the holy man looked in.




In the middle of the room was a large round table. In the middle of the table was a large pot of stew, which smelled delicious and made the holy man's mouth water. The people sitting around the table were thin and sickly. They appeared to be famished. They were holding spoons with very long handles that were strapped to their arms and each found it possible to reach into the pot of stew and take a spoonful. But because the handle was longer than their arms, they could not get the spoons back into their mouths. The holy man shuddered at the sight of their misery and suffering .



The Lord said, "
You have seen Hell."


They went to the next room and opened the door. It was exactly the same as the first one. There was the large round table with the large pot of stew which made the holy man's mouth water. The people were equipped with the same long-handled spoons, but here the people were well nourished and plump, laughing and talking.




The holy man said, "I don't understand."


"It is simple,"
said the Lord " It requires but one skill. You see they have learned to feed each other, while the greedy think only of themselves."



When Jesus died on the cross, he was thinking of you. It's estimated 93% won't forward this. If you are one of the 7% who will, forward this with the title 7%

My Resignation

I guess I shall post this up instead of explaining it one by one to my friends...


I have resigned from my previous company - Fitness Innovations. My last day of work was 30th November, last Friday.

Reason:-
NOT because...
  • I hate that company
  • I hate my colleagues
  • I have any fight or argument with anyone
But because...
  • I can't sit still in the office for 8 hours, it's killing me for doing pc work from 9am - 6pm
  • I can do paper work and administrative work.. but not taking it as my main job
  • I do enjoy designing artwork and flyers.. but again sitting still is killing me.
  • working 6 days (Saturdays have to stay till 2pm), which means I will have only less time with myself, family and friends..

In conclusion, even though I do miss my colleagues, bosses.. the company. I can't sustain my motivation to work any longer... it's kinda boring to me to stay full time in office.



For my personality and character, I like talking to people, like scouting and observe around with new stuff. I can't work for money sake, can't take money blindly yet not performing, can't lie to myself saying I will get over it.. it's unfair to both myself and the company.


So, after some times of consideration, I have decided to resign even though i have not found any new job yet. I am not a risk taker for sure... but, I can only go for interview after my resignation because my company is small, it's impossible for me to get leave for no reason (even it's unpaid leave also). Also, I find it unfair for the company if I started looking for job before I resign... it's about loyalty... to me.


Thank God for giving me shows in December to cover my expenses in January. The talent that He has given me in performing would be able to at least sustain my living for the next month.

So my plan is, sending resume out this month while i am doing my performance. At the same time thinking of what kind of job scope I am looking for that would suits me better. I do not want to work for the sake of money. No point dragging my leg to work each morning and mourn about my work. No point. I want to enjoy my work.. love my job... that's the reason why I resigned last week too.


I have gone for an interview.. no news yet. Really hope to get into fashion industry, however, it's never easy.. I know.


Well, since my plan is never good enough.. let's see what's God's ^^



All right... I shall fixed myself before getting into another new job too.


That's all for now... Night!


p/s: Fitness Innovations does have good fitness learning courses.. Do consider and visit Fit Website for more information yeah... or you shall contact me.. I still able to provide information for you...^^
