Hello blog readers...
I'm so sorry that I haven't been updating this blog of mine for one month plus... Been quite busy and lazy to blog (actually laziness is more of the mian reason than been busy...) :P
Anyway, here's a quick update from me of what has happened to me for the past one month plus... Ok, basically I was working part-time as a surveyor/interviewer with the Ministry of Manpower to help them do the June Labour Force Survey...
Well, I must say that the experience working as a surveyor was quite a pressurising and not so pleasant ba... Well, I guess that only applies to me ba... Cos it's my first time like helping others do surveys, as in I was given a list of households to call or visit to help them complete the surveys. Then when I first started out, I felt quite pressurised because I could not finish a given quota of surveys to be counted working for a day for each of the first few days... Haha I even cried because the households that I first encountered with were rather harsh to me, in my opinion, and not so cooperative... and even humiliating me at times... I had even wanted to quit the job after working for the first few days... But then, the Lord showed to me that since I had agreed to take on this responsibility to finish up the surveys, I need to persevere to the end to show forth the testimony as a Christian... Furthermore, my supervisor was facing a lack in people to complete her team's quota so if I just it there, I would feel super bad and super irresponsible...
Well, throughout the survey period, I must really thank God for granting me strength to pull through.. to try my best to complete as many surveys as possible despite facing more rejections, people who just want to give you trouble, and thoughts of giving up :) Praise the Lord for He is good :D His grace and mercy is just so sufficient for me each day...
And well, during this period, I was also learning driving... I'm so going to get my manual license man... Hmm, hopefully I would not screw up during my driving test in this coming October... But I do experience that whenever I pray before each driving lesson starts for my safety, weather and to overcome whatever fear that I may have, the Lord is also faithfully to keep me safe from crashing onto others and let me learn my skills without much to fear :) So dear future learning drivers, if you are afraid of screwing up your lessons and ultimately your test, cast all your cares upon our dear Lord Jesus, for He cares for us. Amen :)
Haha... guess I'll just stop here for now... I'll end off with this hymn that I enjoy very much during the youth and young people's conference just this last June... helped me a lot during this survey job of mine...
"In Thee, O Lord, do I put my trust,
Let me never be ashamed
Deliver me in Thy righteousness.
Bow down Thine ear to me.
Deliver me speedily;
Be Thou my strong rock,
For a house of defense to save me.
For Thou art my rock and my fortress.
For Thy name's sake lead me,
Pull me out of the net they've laid
Privily for me;
Into Thy hands I commit,
My spirit Thou hast redeemed,
O Lord, God of truth,
O Lord, God of truth."
Hope I can update soon then :P
