Returning to Adelaide soon!

Haha, i knw it's been a long time since i posted my last blog here.. Hmm, let's see, i've been back in s'pore for more than 2 mths now, really enjoy being in s'pore, the convenience, security, etc.. Really should not be taken for granted. Indeed I am blessed to be born in such a great country. I used to hate being in s'pore, dunno it's bcoz if NS or what.. but ever since i grew older, it's becoming more n more like home to me. However, there are the quirks in living in a developed nation such as s'pore.. Everything here is so modern, n life here is fast paced, it's ez to lose the meaning of life, n work can just be a mundane task that we complete everyday, then get home exhausted. I guess most of the working crowd in s'pore feels like this.. partly bcoz the working attitude here is quite hectic.

Besides enjoying time with friends and family, I must say, it's been quite an enriching experience working in IDA (infocomm development authority of s'pore). It's my 2nd time working there, & although last year i only worked there for a week, it gave me the confidence this year to return back n help in some survey conducted by the govt. Work hours r normal, 9am to 6pm, but sometimes, i do wish we could go home earlier to beat the rush hour crowd. Haha. Morning human traffic is the worst. Much squeezing into the trains everyday.. Haha. Kinda miss it when i am in adelaide, where there is never a lack of space on public transport. The office is nice, and i really enjoy working there, although the tasks I do are rather mundane and gets rather boring after some time.. Met a boss there who also graduated from EEE in the states. But he went there on an IDA scholarship. Wah, such a smart guy, he also went on the study an masters degree. Now, an assistant manager in ida, serving his bond.. Somehow I think God is showing me what I can do in future. That I will be able to work in an "office environment" although I may be an engineer by vocation. That was something I liked, being in an office, but yet doing something different.

I have 2 more years of studying to do, but God is always good, He always gives me a glimpse of my future, and I believe that God gives much more than we can ever imagine or expect! So i look forward to an exciting career, whever He decides to use me.. I am happy. Of course, SIA will still be my no.1 choice in career, bcoz of my interest in aeroplanes. Can't wait to see how my future will turn out, but I jus have to put my faith n trust in Him who provides, n i surely knw my future will be bright!

Returning back to adelaide in ard 20 days time.. I can say i have some mixed feelings, a bit sad of course, having to return to study, and leaving home, but i guess i'm used to it, and I do miss friends n fellowship in adelaide, which i do not have much of here, not to mention the cold weather! haha, it's so hot in s'pore smtimes.. but these days r rather nice n cool! I knw God has plans to grow me there, that's y i am studying there! N no matter how hard it is, I knw He will surely pull me thru, n give me enough grace to see me thru the tough times. 3rd year here i come! I knw it's not gonna be ez, but then again, who says university is ez? Haha, except for some geeks or nerds or supersmart students of coz.. :-p Adelaide here i come again!
