who is that woman.
Wednesday, January 17, 2007//


the most beautiful woman is one who is confident.
who is able to face the criticism and failures in life boldy, yet with hope.
who knows the goals she has in life. and not influenced by the world.
who is able to love others as much as she loves herself.
to be securely secured. with no envy or jealousy.
to be appreciative in everything.
who loves herself jus the way she is.

yday evening, my section manager-boss rAYmond asked me to filled up my MBO. something like end of yr appraisal & eval stuff.

we had a little personal talk.
he asked me if i think he should leave. and i said yes and mentioned the reasons why i felt he should leave. for a better opportunity perhaps. and he shared w me why he cant leave as easily perhaps of committments as a married man.
surprisingly. He said a little comment, that is really affirming.
He said that all along, he like me (as a colleague/frd/employee), & when he means like, he means it. the reason is bcos he always feel that i have a personal touch.
suddenly at the end of the conversation, i jus feel prompted. and i told him to be frank, i dun intend to stay for long as well. told him some of the reasons.
and he said something."sometimes, it's reali saddening, bcos we dun give ourselves a chance to try it out. bcos deciding and commenting if we are realli cut out for it. sometimes we only listen and influence by the ppl ard us."
in fact, when one of my G4 (handover) partner told him that she may be leaving too,my collegue told me he said to her that ,"until you find the winning formulae in life, then i will let you go. no bcos i am your boss. but bcos i want you to succeed in life."
perhaps, he is still pet-talking. jus trying to use "ku ruo ji" or some psycho-ing soft skills to make us stay.
but, personally,i dun reali see it that way.
perhaps,i should give myself more chance. to stay and say it for myself.
to stay and give myself another chance.
i dun know. as i bought the straits time today.
i realy felt SO tormented.
SSMC. UMC. all employing ppl.
to be frank, in terms of pay & bonus & management & culture of company.

STMicroelectronics SUCK.

SSMC & UMC are getting ~ 6 or 7 or 8 mths bonus for non-pro-rated employee.
while ST is only given ~3mths?
i guess Mr.Patrick Thong have to be much better in rewarding ppl to stay. to make your ppl (assets) to stay.

money sometimes can buy loyalty too. and pls, be more ppl orientated rather a slave to cost save in a wafer fab.
i am confused cos there are so many good opportunties out there.
and i kept telling myself.
sometimes the best thing maybe not be the best for a person.
sometimes it's when the temptation is so great out there, that you are tested by God.
sometimes you just gonna be humble. and know it before you can walk, you need to learn how to crawl.
sometimes the not so good place can be a good training ground to equip youself.
sometimes you need to know to have patience.
sometimes these are the times to believe that God has no reason to shortchange you. and even if you make a mistake. He will be able to turn it around to create an even better opportunity. for you alone.
sometimes you jus need to settle down. get your heart to conc to do well on the things on hand.
if you cant even do simple stuff. how can God enstrust you with much more.

*** continue to pray & listen to HIm***

God, isnt that so?
//


for once, i seriously no longer njoy the rain.
i wish it can stop raining for a little while.

rain is making sapphire blue.
rain is making the whole atmosphere blue. glooomy. unwelcoming.cold.and far from familarity.
the blurry scenery from the windows protrayed the unknown future that lies ahead.
it seemed clear, yet so unclear.
you tot you know what lies ahead, only to find out, perhaps, wat you expected to be there,are just a form of disillusion.

people come& people go.sometimes, i wish life can be like a thermostat.
when it gets too hot, the contact will break away, allowing it to get back to it's setpt tempt.
and when its ready to get heated up, there it goes again.
for, to have a brake in this constant tempt. fluctuating is a neccessarity. is a priviledge. is it's natural characteristics & unique selling point.

i used to like the night, only to start hating it now.
i like to sleep as early as 10pm & wake up as early as 4am.
somehow, i have changed.
the wee hours at 4am may seemed like the dark unknown future. yet you know, the Light comes soon.
yet, the similiar darkness at 11pm. felt like it's going to last forever. and it will be for quite some time, before you see the Light.

it's been a long time. since i hang out in the night. like in the past.
to see at a coffee place. to drink, to tok,to enjoy the night,to jus watch the crowd mang mang lu lu in their life.
it's been a while, since i drive along the road, in the night, listening to my fav class 95FM.to get reali personalised with the songs.
still remembered my all time fav - tommy page- a shoulder to cry on.
nice.
i tot it depicts exactly what a true frd should be.
to be there. yet keeping silent. jus a shoulder to lean on. and to be there when you need it.

i dun like a busy life. that everyday is with no rest.
i am no machine. machine not.
even God created mountains & valleys.
the Ups & the Downs.
i tot that means a time for busyness & a time for rest?
God, isnt that so?

God says.
Tuesday, January 09, 2007//


peace be with you, not the peace that the world promises. But the peace that comes from Me.

do not be worried, nor anxious, do not be distressed that you do not hear from Me.
but I am the great I AM. the One whom formed you & knew you.

take it slowly, a step at a time. I will open doors for you. I will lead you to the Path. to reveal to you what i deem as perfect plan for you.

do not be transformed by the patterns of this world.
but always be transformed by the renewing of the mind.
to dwell & ponder & reflect on what is good.

thanks be to God, who will always lead you in triumph victory.

hang on dere. do not panick about your future plans, your future directions.

pray. have faith. jus a little faith in Me. that's all i need from you.
i will show you how mighty i am. i will show you the amazingly wonders with Me around. as long as you stay with Me in this journey. just a little more faith.

A Fresh Start

You crown the year with Your goodness, and Your paths drip with abundance.


Psalm 65:11
As we come to the beginning of a new year and the ending of an old one, we often wish we could turn over a new leaf or have a fresh start. No doubt about it, there have been certain things we have said or done in this past year that we have come to regret. Wouldn't it be great to just start over again? In reality, as a Christian you can have a fresh start. The new year is still a blank slate. There are opportunities ahead of you. You decide which path you are going to walk in this coming year. "Thus says the LORD: 'Stand in the ways and see, and ask for the old paths, where the good way is, and walk in it; then you will find rest for your souls'" (Jeremiah 6:16). You decide what your priorities are going to be. You decide which direction you are going to take, each and every day.Maybe some of us need a fresh start in this coming year. Here is a great opportunity to make a new commitment. We don't know what the new year is going to bring. We don't know what problems we are going to encounter. We don't know what changes are going to come. We don't know what blessings the Lord has in store for us. But whatever the new year holds, we don't have to be afraid because Jesus Christ is going to be waiting there for us.I like the words of that wonderful woman of God, Corrie ten Boom, who said, "Never be afraid to trust an unknown future to a known God." God is in control of your future. He is ready to bless you in this coming year.

2007.
//


i thanked God for a great meeting today at Cine with Qy, she spoked a lot of sense to me.
it's ironic. the more i needed her support, the more i ran away.
i'm glad for the transparency she shared, to allow me to understand the struggles she experienceed too.

sapphire want a new start. i told God on new year eve.
let me restart the whole thing altogether.
i told qiaoyun too. i didnt want to tell her cos i was afraid i may not be able to live up to what i say.
but i realise i need. i need to tell someone, to allow this person to help me.

i thank God for He is a mercy and loving God.
things could have happened that could break my heart, cos i still believe strongly that He is a sovereign God.

jus want to settle down. to allow God to speak to me in all ways.
i jus want to be obedient.
i do not want to conform to the patterns of this world.
i do not want to be jus ANOTHER contestant. another Ra-Ra contestant to feel high and good in this Race.
i want to finish strong in this Race. even if i am the last in this Race. i am more than happy.
"i have fought a good fight, i have finished the Race, i have kept my faith"
i want to be able to say tat at the end of my life. to face my God and tell Him , and not be ashamed or feel regretful.

ARGHHH. it's going to be so tough.
but pls God. help me.
i am sick of drifting so far from You and coming back. jus like a seesaw.
i want my journey to be an escalating sinusoidal curve. a postive exponential grad.
no matter what the ppl ard me are gog thr. use me, strength me, speak to me in your ways. to be an instrument. to be filled with compassion. to be filled with longsuffering. to be filled with patience. to be filled with love.

let me be discipline to build a relationship with You.
to know the God who truly is. not the God whom i think He is.
let me not run away. but run towards You.
let me sin no more. let me rationalse no more. let me compare and comform no more.
i have nothing. i am nothing.
i came with nothing. and everything i have is from You.
everything that i have, is a bonus. is a Grace given by You.
let me be changed totally.

let this be a life transforming 2007.
bring back this child like faith & 1st love for You.

THIS IS MY STORY... hmmm...a Virgo, a High C individual...Helper, AChiever & Loyalist. lots of expectation for myself..perhaps also for the ppl around me. dun like to face failure and disappointment, but i am definitely learning. a Passive person, but as long as i appreciate the person, i will take the first step and get out of my comfort zone. the Language of my love for the person that i cherish will be time. the greater the time and effort spend on the person, the more important the person is to me in my life. A stubborn, hot tempered, emotional, pessimistic gal.Loner. "Anti-social" tagged by most people if you judge me by the first impression =) i graduated in NUS as a mechanical engineer. i tried working in STMicroelectronics as a process engineer. but found that this is somethg that i dun reali enjoy. because i know God has created me differently. He has made me with a passion to be with ppl. He has gave me a gift to make frds and minister to ppl. He has gave me a unique ability to make sincere relationship. bcos Christ reigns in me. so after becoming a engineer for a while, i quited and i am currently working in Walton international Grp(S) PTE LTD as a landbanker now. it's a career that i reali enjoy bcos i get to meet all walks of ppl in my life. i get to help ppl to better invest in a correct way. to analyse together with my cients the oppt and not jus to do hard selling. cos i dun believe in that. i like to share. Not only so, I am also Volunteering under Touch Community Service in my Church, Volunteering in NYC as well as Sunday school :) right now, my only Wish is to become even closer with Christ in this beauty journey of my Life. i am a full time Christian & only a part time daughter, frd, landbanker, sportsman etc... Lord, everything i have belongs to You... drop me an email: yanying8@singnet.com.sg or 97545658 (Walton) or 90997000 (DTZ)
