I failed my driving test. Yet again! Even though I had only 1 practice(which was last night) since I failed my first test 2 months back, I felt pretty confident that I will pass it this time round. The test actually went supremely well and smooth. But when the results were revealed to me I couldn't believe it. Anyway I was heavily penalised for all the safety errors that my instructors don't emphasize on. sigh.. really felt so discouraged just now. But I'll trust in the Lord, and thank God for teaching me through my mistakes which I don't realise.

Work is driving me up the wall, so I'm actually quite happy that I can spend some time at home in the day today. For the 1 month or so, I've always been reaching home late at night all exhausted and find my dad sleeping. Thank God that I had lunch with my mum today, it'd seemed like ages ago since we last had a meal together.

I'm on a very tight schedule this week, and so is everyone else in the office. I'm prepared to stayover tomorrow night to blast out newsletters, something which has to be done on the 1st of each month. That comes with another press conference report to attend and come up with tomorrow. 1 May - Labour Day will also be the day that I'm finally leaving for BJ.

su su na!

Since the start of work, time has been passing by doubly fast, as I can get so caught up with work. I'm not complaining, in fact I love what I'm doing, less those admin stuffs that they'll naturally give newcomers to do.

I've learned what really is fast food and its trade. I mean, since the start of work, I've settled for 4 Mc Chicken burgers and 1 subway for my dinner on the go. Such is the rush, and thats essentially how time zip by.

Other than that, I thank God really, that I've found writing thoroughly enjoyable, (and my bosses love my articles). Thank the Lord.

Ok, let me draw attention to the worsening situation in Bangkok. I'm a week away from my mission trip and there's fresh chaos over there in the capital. I mean, I'm not that affected by it, by I'm concerned because my parents, and I'm certain those of my fellow mission trip members', are gonna block us from going... So do pray for us.

Also pray for the university students who're overly stressed out by their papers. Pray that God may allow them to have good focus, and peace of mind to quieten themselves down when they're studying... jiayou!!! su su na! - hahaha, learnt that from Mag ytd. thai for jiayou

Alright, on other things. I've finally plucked the courage to ask my boss today about BJ. And surprisingly, he said yes!!! woohoo! So i'm going bj 1-5may now!!

I thank God, everyday for listening to my prayers, for walking beside me. Its really great to live a life depending on Him. Whenever I face a mighty mountain, I will frown for a little while, but I know that through the whole process God is at work, and He always has His best plans. I mean, it feels really great to be close with God, in times of hardship, or those times when we just have to sail along under His wings.

Last words before I go to bed...

First 2 days of working: experienced working in a secular setting. Its so different. Thank God for His grace to get me going on this job. I'm fast getting used to the surroundings and the like. I stayed till later than usual today, coz I had to blast out emails which almost sent me crazy, and the same goes for tmr, when I'll have a mtg in the evening. But the fun parts are only just coming in I guess...

I've lost my battle in fighting to keep bj alive. I've tried twisting and turning my booking around, but the ticket has been so tightly protected and shielded that everything that I've tried in peeling the protective layers off have failed. And anyway I can't go to Lavendar to collect my new passport in time. :(:(:(:(:( I feel so sad.

just somemore samui bits. I'll just chop them up and leave u guys to fill in the spaces to form ur own complete picture.

sun. lots of sun. clearest waters. no oil tankers out at sea. snorkelling. kayaking out at sea. clean soft sand beaches. angmoh girls. angmoh everywhere. getting ripped before knowing how to bargain. bargain. bargain for fake branded stuffs. never ending stretch of nightlife. sawadikarp. kohpkunkarp. green curry,basil leaves, padthai...... people watching at the beach, along the busy streets, and in the restaurants. Dodging transsexuals. Avoiding transsexual masseurs. Getting touched by erm.. the girls? A super beautiful airport. Seeing our camp & the Singapore Flyer on our way back in the aircraft.

i'm still very very very sad about bj
