beautiful disaster

Wow! It's been a while :)

Just did my PAE. I chose 1. Hwa Chong Arts, 2. AC Arts and 3. RJ Arts. There were more, but I shan't bore you with the details. My mouse hovered over the 'submit' button before clicking it...I guess it still sort of scares me, even now, going to Hwa Chong. It scares and excites me at the same time, going to a new environment, trusting that it will be the best one for me. I clicked 'submit', and that's that. Hwa Chong Arts.

I've got a job, which is why I haven't been online for a while. It's at CCMC, the church at MGS, and I normally do all the odd jobs--photocopying, organising files (you will be amazed at the amount of paperwork they have to file). The people there are really nice. I work with Debbie's dad, and I am currently trying to figure out how to address him--Mr. Wong? Uncle Gordon? Gordon? So weird.

The only drag is the long-by-my-standard hours, but those working will scoff at me because 9 to 5:30 is like the minimum working hours.

It's interesting, though, working in a church. They have this fantastic photocopier/printer/scanner with which they print out the church bulletin and on Fridays volunteers come in to slot all the sheets of paper into the bulletins. I got to go down and help set up for tomorrow's service, which basically means carrying down the bulletins and posters and offering bags and storing them in the auditorium. It's normally pretty easy but the lift broke down so we had to carry everything down the stairs manually. Next week is Communion, so we might have to carry down the Communion things too. How exciting!

It's funny to work in a place and call everyone by their first names even though they're older than me. They're not very geriatrically old, though, so it makes it less awkward. Though one lady is probably old enough to be my mother; she's got a kid who's sec 1 next year.

I'm very, very glad I got a job here. It makes things a lot more convenient and it helps that it's not too out of my comfort zone, so I still manage to 'rest' and not be so stressed.

It's been good.

My Destiny
Psalm 46 (NASB)
God is our refuge and strength,
A very present help in trouble.
Therefore we will not fear, though the earth should change
And though the mountains slip into the heart of the sea;
Though its waters roar and foam,
Though the mountains quake at its swelling pride.

There is river whose streams make glad the city of God,
The holy dwelling places of the Most High.
God is in the midst of her, she will not be moved;
God will help her when morning dawns.
The nations made an uproar, the kingdoms tottered;
He raised His voice, the earth melted.
The Lord of hosts is with us;
The God of Jacob is our stronghold.

Come, behold the works of the Lord,
Who has wrought desolations in the earth.
He makes wars to cease to the end of the earth;
He breaks the bow and cuts the spear in two;
He burns the chariots with fire.
"Cease striving and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth."
The Lord of hosts is with us;
The God of Jacob is our stronghold.
