Hey everyone! I am here to testify the goodness and greatness of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Firstly, last Friday was my last week of internship in OCBC Tampines. As I have shared previously on 03 August 2007 one of my colleagues (the one I am assigned to she’s Marnie) treated me and another colleague (Rowena) for lunch at Jack’s Place. It was really cool, not only the lunch that I am blessed with but is their companion. They are my best pals in OCBC.
During lunch they shared about their personally lives and I am really amazed they are so open with me. As both of them are from Philippines, I managed to know more about their culture. It was really amazing.
Then last Tuesday, 07 August 2007, Rowena treated me Filipinos packed lunch as I wanted to try how their food taste like is. Although the food is not something I really enjoyed eating as of our different taste, it is the people I am eating with make everything so nice. I always see in my friend’s blog she said “it’s not the food that matters but the people you are eating with”. I am quite agreeing with that. Anyway after lunch that day we chatted for quite awhile and I enjoyed a lot.
The following day, Rowena blessed my whole team to Fish and Co. for lunch. It was also known as a farewell lunch for me. It was the first time I got to have a relaxed conversation with my supervisor. I realized he’s indeed a funny person through this meal. As we finished lunch early he offered to go have coffee before we go back office and of course we chat some more when we are having coffee haha.
Other than all these meals, Marnie and Rowena bought me an Esprit hand bag and a 1GB thumb drive. I felt so blessed not only they are expensive gifts but a hand bag and a thumb drive is what I wanted. (I just have a thought of buying them previously and ‘ding’ I got them now.) Thank God.
One more thing, another colleague from the project team that I was involved in asked Marnie to request for a testimonial from the project manager and my supervisor’s supervisor. It was because my supervisor’s position is Assistant Vice President, where the both of them are Vice President. Position higher name/signature more weight haha. Although I am not sure if Marnie will be managed to take it, just by that little action it affirmed me that I did great hehe.
Indeed the 4 months of attachment is a fruitful one and I guess I have left an impact on them (which I wanted in my goal in these 6 months). Praise the Lord! GOD IS GOOD ALL THE TIME, ALL THE TIME GOD IS GOOD. For He is greater in me than he is in the world. I AM SO BLESSED.
Secondly, I thank God for Ivan. He is really a blessing from God. I thanked him for his time to organize a wonderful and memorable birthday dinner with my two groups of friends; secondary and polytechnic. I am so blessed by their company and the gifts they bought for me.
Indeed God is a God of more than enough. On the day itself I have received,
Secondary school friends • a Charles and Keith hand bag, • another jean hand bag, • a pair of earrings, • a heart shaped necklace, • a wristband, Polytechnic school friends • a star necklace, • a couple cups,
Ivan • and a t-shirt from Minimal (something that I was eyeing on haha)
Thirdly, Ivan's mum treated Ivan and I to Cafe Cartel as a birthday treat for me. She even bought me the shoes I wanted to buy hehe. I am so glad to have her.
Last but not least, I felt so thankful for God to place such wonderful people in my life. It was because the friends you have can either make your life in heaven or a living … So always be thankful for the great things God have done in your life and never grew complacent.
THANK YOU LORD FOR ALL THE PEOPLE YOU HAVE PUT INTO MY LIFE.
In His greatest love aNNa[b]eLLe16 <=^a^=>

uHey N161, sorry haven’t been posting much lately. Been in China for close to 4 weeks now and really miss all of you.
Finally settled down here in China and cleared up all my admin work. The weather here is hovering around 38 to 41 degrees Celsius everyday.
Anyway, really blessed to be here. Got a really good company with a really good boss. Not only is the pay high, the company has great welfare. The provide lunch everyday and the food is really good. They help me with a lot of the administrative things like extending my visa and whenever there’s anything wrong, they will always activate the company bus to drive me to where I need to go.
The accommodations I’m in is also really great and I have great housemates who I’m really enjoying China with. Still trying to reach out here.
