Time now is 0029hrs.
I have a thousand and one thing to blog about. But frankly I don't which to start first.
At church last week, we have christmas celebrations and we invited our friends to join us. This is the first time I see everyone in S33 putting all the efforts. There is so many new friends and there isn't enough members to look after the new friends. Amazing right? This prove that S33 can do when all of us put in our heart in it. I am very glad that Eric, Jackson and Hui Xian recieved Salvation from the Lord Jesus. So happy for them. Hopefully they will also come in be active member of the S33 and the Church.
You know what... something I cannot understand is the heart of the leader. Well I have a chatted with Xue Ting just now, I think I got to know her better. Her situation, the action that she have to take, all of all are not easy. It is definately not simple. Being once a leader myself in school I know that. How to balance everyone in the group. How to take care of different members?
I guess the only thing I can do will be to assist and coorperate with the COGC and CGL in the cell group. And meantime, I hope that I can contribute ideas that we can outreach to the people who are hurt, who are starving, who are homeless and so on.
Meanwhile I am still can't decide which ministry I should go for. I feel that I should be with the cell group more but I also need to serve. I am thinking even if ultimately if I have to serve in Security Ministry, I will choose to serve in the different time slot as the service I am supposed to attend. That is my plan. But going to be tiring.
So much so about recent events in church.
At work?
Thuzar's mum suddenly passed away on Christmas Day. I was very shocked when I recieved her sms in the morning on this news. Just last month, she went back to Yangon and accompanied her mum on the eyes operation. Everything was fine and decided back to Singapore and resumed her work. No one will have thought it to be like this. I know she must be very upset but she still act so calm and brave in front of us. she came last friday, handed all her job to Meihua and she flew off to Yangon. she wouldn't be back till 16 Jan 2009.
Meihua going to be on leave on 02 Jan 2009. There must be something wrong with my boss. How can him let her on leave? The whole Used Car side only left me alone. And to make matter worse, Roger is going to leave from 7 Jan 2009 for 2 weeks for eye operation. That mean EPZ operation I have to take care too. And ship spares? How huh? Meanwhile my sales department think I am what? Their Secretary?? My manager want me to check and file RORO rate and schedules. Haiz.. If next week they going to ask me to do that, my work load will be piling sky high. Guess I am going to earn alot of OT next week onward.
Tomorrow have to go back to office earlier to prepare myself with all the work coming at me.

Looking Back at 2008
This was my wish list that I hope to accompolish
Wish List for 2008
1. To be successful in my work.
2. Go Australia in June for holiday
3. Go Taiwan in Dec for Holiday.
4. Want to get my diploma and fill up the regret due to my youthful foolishness.
5. Able to make more friends
6. Hope to find someone I like and truly like me and be together.
7. Own a Nissan Sunny
8. Slim down
9. Able to go back and play my tuba.
10.Be able to lead a happy and cheerful without much problems.
1. Am I successful in work?
Well I will say 2008 is still a year that I gained alot of experiences in work. I have the chances to do alot of work that I didn't have the chance when I was with Asian Groupage. Through not everything is according to what I wished for, I am still happy that I stayed with Zim Logistics for the past one year and that I got my first 13th month AWS.
2. Holidays?
Yeah something I couldn't fulfil. Reason being that I started my diploma course with Singapore Logistics Association and that econmy went quite bad and of cos it will hit me as I am doing logistics. But I will still keep this in my wish list in 2009
3. Diploma??
Yeah it is in progress. My company have sponsored me for the Diploma in International Freight Management in August. I will be finishing the course in October 2009. So I think if there is n't major changes, I should be finishing course. At the same, I am also certified to handle dangerous as I have gone through and passed the Dangerous Course organised by SAAA.
4. New friends/ Old friends??
The year of 2008 saw alot of new faces in my life.
Particularly members of S33 Cellgroup. Perhap I looked much younger as I mixed together with them. They are my best friends in my live and I actually hope that even if the cell group multiplied, we can be forever close to each other.
5. Love??
Sorry to say.. Have someone that I like.. But that someone have someone in heart... But if the couple don't love each other then we is the purpose? I hope and pray that correct person will come into my life.
6. Owning a Car??
Nope... no money leh.. How huh?
but nevertheless, I had a lot chances to drive on my company van whenever my colleague go on leave and I take over his duty. But I still hope that I own a Sunny or Matrix or Civic. Hope that my dream can come true in 2009.
7. Slim down??
Nope... Didn't get fatter or slimmer. I am still who I am in the beginning of year.
8. Playing tuba??
Yeah... After stopping practising for 4 years, i finally have the chance to perform with Centre of New Life Wind Ensemble. Hopefully that I will have more chances to perform with the band.
9. Am I happy with my life??
2008 is better than 2007. Through there are times that I unhappy, but it is insignificant comparing the time I had joy.
Conclusion...
God is good to me in 2008. Changes make grow stronger. And that I know I am now more confident to face challenges coming my way in 2009

This was in my mind just now...
"Why must you time after time throw me into deep pits when I was so happy?
All I ask was to let you see this prospective before you act. That all... Why such unreasonable hash words on me. Do you know that it hurts? "
What I sms to that person... I mean it... And I am going to do that when the time is right...
Tell you something... For the past 2 weeks, I really don't feel loved... I very tired at office after so many accusation at me... As I am typing this part of the blog, I am very very upset... Does giving the best for my customer wrong? I did a reasonable stuffs so that company can still maintain this customer with them. I tried my best to change the fact that our business is going downhill. I give up already... What they want to do, just do it bah... I am not going to care anymore... If company want to sacked or retrench me or whatsoever, go ahead...
The only thing i have in my heart for now is hatre...
p.s.
*** Sorry Eve... I wouldn't be a good armour to you... You don't need me too... You know that... Perhap you are correct... I cannot understand your heart as a leader... I am not a good connect group member, not a good cell group member... I don't fellowship with people... Always so stubborn in the things I do and the outlook I am... I am not worthy of what you wrote in my appreciation paper...***
***Sorry winnie if I was to break my promises to you... Love the people around you cos they love you too... And your milk tea is nice... really...***

Time now is 1105hrs.
Yesterday afternoon I have been driving non stop. First went back to office and take the BL for surrender and cash for a cargo. Then went down to Harper shipping at to Surrender the BL, after that gone to Tanker Pacific at Millemia Tower and go to Agility at Alp near Changi Airfreight Centre and went to Parkway Parade to collect a big parcel back to office.
But one thing good is that I am getting home the earliest of all the time. Nothing much at the EPZ because usually no one will buy and store alot of cars during bad economy. It is the same concept as warehousing. But surprisingly, Zim Logistics' warehouse is doing not bad. I hope it will carry on that way next year.
Meanwhile I am still thinking about Used Car business for Zim Logistics. The competition is very stiff now. There are new players coming in for a share of pie. And with the time so bad now. What can we do to have the cutting edge in this trade. This is something that I want to think about.
Today is a very quiet day at the EPZ and I am falling asleep already... Nohting much to do actually. I have already shifted the cars that can be moved and the rest of that can't I also can't do much about it.
Let see what I can as time goes by. Tuesday, December 9, 2008,

Quote of the week
"Nevermind there is no bonus, be glad that you are not retrenched.
Nevermind you are retrenched, be glad that you may find a better job.
Nevermind you cannot find a new job, be glad that you have the time to rest.
Because there will be a long way to go in life..."
ok... December is here. Haha.. There is alot of things going on this month.
Last Tuesday I was informed by my manager that there I am going to stand in for my colleague as he is going oversea for a week. I am like why me again. Can they get someone else? While I guess I do not have much choices and have to take up the job. Driving around the whole island again. Parking cars under the hot sun again and so on.
But then again, maybe it is a blessing in disguise. Because I can use the company van. So when it came on last saturday, I was able to drive friends for the outreach event. Yeah talking about the outreach event which was the Treetop Walk, I think it is quite successful because everyone really put in efforts and go up to shaky bridge. Haha.. At the same time, we managed to introduce two new friends to the cell group. They are Hui Xian and Jackson. Hope that subsequently we will be able invite them to our church events and may them be able to get Salvation from Him.
Started work on saturday at the EPZ. It is not as busy as before. In fact I think everyone slowed down very much over here. I don't see much packing over here and that not many cars coming in as well. Then on sunday I went up to Zim Iberia. Yeah I remember the nice Ship Master and the Chief Engineer. Of so many vessel I enjoyed working with them.
Ok I am changing my clothes and leaving for office. Hopefully that everything will be alright here while I am away...
