²⁰ At this, Job got up and tore his robe and shaved his head. Then he fell to the ground in worship²¹ and said:

"Naked I came from my mother's womb,
and naked I will depart. ^{a]" style="font-size: 0.75em; line-height: 0.5em; ">[a]}
The LORD gave and the LORD has taken away;
may the name of the LORD be praised."

²² In all this, Job did not sin by charging God with wrongdoing.

From Job 1:20-22

Right now,slowly recovering from loss of loved ones.It made me cherish those who r ard me now.I simply don't feel like writing too much about it now,but i nd to be strong for my family now.

Admitted

After going through the foundation course,admission test,I am glad that I am admitted to the B.Tech(Chemical Engineering) program.It's been quite a long journey and a long wait.

Long journey because I have applied for FT course in local U 's 2 times,i was being rejected 2 times..I was pretty sad but knew that it is still not the end of the world coz I somehow knew that God was in control of it all.During those rejections,I realised that getting a degree and get your desired job is not everything to our short life on this planet.From there on,I got a change in attitude and increase my faith.

Long wait because I've been researching the subjects that I am interested in and the degree offered locally and overseas.It has been going on for 2.5 yrs,right after I graduated from SP.Actually I've wanted to take undergrad chemistry,instead of chemical engineering.But that's because I have felt that I have taken the wrong course when I was doing industrial attachment.I guess I am not very fond of manual work.But i do like lab work and research,especially during the FYP.Moreover,the field have tremendous potential to improve people's live in many area like pharmaceutics,medicine and nanotech.It sounds really cold,intellectual and all but I really meant every word i say.So it took me all these time to find out my aptitute and passion.I did find out about other subject areas like biz and accounting.But I don't it will suit me.So in the end,I still went for chem eng.

Now that I know I've admitted,I better go prepare $$ for the tuition fees liao!

1st night shift

Tiring.

That's the one word i'll say about the night shift if you ask me about it.It's a wonder that I am in blogsphere though I am tired out.More imptly,it made me consider telling my section head to place me in office hours instead.During that 12 hrs shift,I've also learnt much more about the plant operation than during office hours.It is actually quite fruitful when I thought carefully about it.

That's all for the night shift.Ytd night,I was also waiting to see if I am shortlisted for the B.Tech interview.Fortunately,my name is not shortlisted.So now,it means that my outcome is either successful or unsuccessful.I hope it's the former choice because I put lots of effort to brush up my maths and chemical engineering principles.

In the meantime,I am going to prepare the champagne for celebration :-)

1st 2 weeks at work

I guess that goes to show that I am getting too tired to update my posts...haha.So far my first 2 weeks past by quite nicely.

Currently I am working in a chemical plant in jurong island,but my real occupation hazard are not just hydrofluoric acid but 2nd hand cigarette smoke coz am starting to hang around with the smokers at the smoking corner more often.It's hard to believe that if I told anyone that me and my new colleagues sat in a room,kept quiet for one whole day.Yeah,that's how my first day is.But as time passes,I got to know more people and interact more with them.

I've also started to pray for my company and colleagues because most of them have to deal with HF system,which can cause fatality if it is left untreated.My greatest hope when I am working in this company is that God will use me to lead some of them to Christ,and tell them about God's love thru Christ.But they have not confirmed my employment nor confirm if I am going to be in a office hour or shift position.Either appointment works fine for me :-)

For now,that is all for now.So adios!!!

Work woe over

Finally,i went to the HR office to sign the contract.Finally,the job search is over after 2 months of searching and waiting ever since ORD....

Now i can focus fully on the btech admission test and saving a gd amt for future investment :-)

HTC android 1.5 cupcake update

Ole!!Finally i got my HTC phone updated to 1.5 after waiting months for its release.I would not have known about it unless my friends told me bout it.The download and installation takes less than 15 mins,though it has to restart 2 times.Most important thing is that it is hassle-free and there is little need to read through installation steps very carefully.I wish i could post some pics for this new update,so i'll give a brief introduction about the updates

• a new camcorder apps
• ability to switch orientation when rotating the phone
• software keyboard when messaging or on the net,the sensitivity is pretty good
• the background color is now metallic grey,not black anymore.It looks snazzier than before
• ability to upload video on youtube

That's all i've discovered for now.I'll post more when i discover more of its new function.Adios!!
