Hello March (:

Been and back from Bangkok recently and caught a flu right after... so wasted my 6 days of annual leave lying around at home, recuperating and prepare to go back to work and school on the 5th.

Bangkok trip was pretty awesome! went with kenneth, wenya, alvin (wenya's bf), ling ling and lingling's friend minyuan. this time round my 2nd trip there, i didnt shop as crazy as the first time.
we ate quite alot, i KO-ed pretty early, guess this is sign of aging.

2days back, lingling texted me, and told me that my most resourceful person(Geeta~ ka~) asked me not to leave the organisation within this 6months as i may be promoted, most likely will be promoted.
well, i was pretty happy for a few minutes.. if i get promoted, it means that my new job search may be much easier, if i'm not promoted and i left the organisation before my promo, then my new job search may be less easy in terms of salary.

one of my friend is getting engaged soon, and i was really happy, however kenneth popped a qns, are they stable enough to even get married, start a family. looking at the recent news of housing and car hikes, money is really important. That led to myself wondering if i leave the organisation, will i stay get the amount of money i earn currently? because my current income is pretty high~~~

but i know i have to stand firm, and leave the organisation to find a job that allows me to go to church every sunday again, to go back to my fellowship, to go back to where i was.
I came across this verse today, and it encourages me to stand firm to my decision.

Testing of Your Faith

2 eCount it all joy, my brothers,2 when you meet trials fof various kinds, 3 for you know that gthe testing of your faith hproduces steadfastness. 4 And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be iperfect and complete, lacking in nothing.

5 jIf any of you lacks wisdom, klet him ask God, lwho gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him. 6 But mlet him ask in faith,nwith no doubting, for the one who doubts is like oa wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind. 7 For that person must not suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; 8 phe is a double-minded man, qunstable in all his ways.

9 Let the lowly brother boast in his exaltation, 10 and rthe rich in his humiliation, because slike a flower of the grass3 he will pass away. 11 For the sun rises with its scorching heat and twithers the grass; its flower falls, and its beauty perishes. So also will the rich man fade away in the midst of his pursuits.

12 uBlessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive vthe crown of life, wwhich God has promised to those who love him. 13 Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am being tempted by God,” for God cannot be tempted with evil, and he himself tempts no one. 14 But each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desire. 15 Then desire xwhen it has conceived gives birth to sin, and ysin when it is fully grown brings forth death.

16 Do not be deceived, my beloved brothers. 17 zEvery good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from athe Father of lightsbwith whom there is no variation or shadow due to change.4 18 cOf his own will he dbrought us forth by the word of truth, ethat we should be a kind offfirstfruits of his creatures.

true enough, serving the Lord brings me much joy than the high income i'm getting, although i get to have things i want, but i lost what i needed most.

Fellowship.
