Tracking List

Sorry to my friends out there who regularly read this. been really busy and the months have just been flying by. i'm really backdated on blogposts and there's loads of catching up to do. it's just been activity after activity, event after event, trip after trip since april; not to mention the ever-increasing number of things to do at work.

so that' kinda brings me up-to-date. guess i'll start on the backlog and slot them in so the dates are reflective of whatever that has passed. cheating.. haha.

Work has been great, transferred back to development officially on 10SEP07 after a horrendous, trying, frustrating and utterly miserable 4 weeks back in manufacturing upon my return from Singapore. i really wanna praise God for this transfer because during those 4 weeks i was really broken and totally lost. manufacturing just doesn't suit me, well at least for now, here in the UK. i will not say more.

I'm happy now in development and learning loads, getting the experience i need and figuring out, in a way, the path i wish to take in this industry in future. i definitely wanna further my studies to improve my technical ability/knowledge and for interest sake and self gratification. sounds so noble but really, i do enjoy my work tremendously! pharma is going to be monstrous in Singapore, just watch.

Just wanna praise and thank God so much for His grace and mercy; i know that i do not deserve it. He has been ever so gracious, pouring blessings upon me and Us. life since graduation has been ever so smooth and i could never thank Him enough for giving me a place on this program and what more, placement in the UK to be with ken - to think that i once doubted whether i made the right decision in coming here. being here in the UK has changed me, in more ways than one and though i can't say for sure what those changes are, i know i've grown and changed. (hmm.. starting to get into that reflective mood again)

Come end Jan i'll be back in Singapore and will be there for at least 2 years to serve out my bond. Hopefully things will continue the way they have been, smooth sailing. i know that church life will improve tremendously, o! how i miss ministry and the preaching!! i miss home now but i know that when i finally leave UK, i will leave a part of me and with me i will take away a part of it - i will miss it dearly. 2 out of the last 3 years of my life would have been spent in messed-up UK.

God is good and i really desire to do so much more to please Him. Father, please don't ever let me lose sight of you; the consequences will be disastrous. grab my hand and never let me go!
