Since my last assignment ended on 1 Aug, I was in search for a new assignment. Having gone several interviews and been told, 'Sorry, we can't take you cuz of your blindness' or 'our company does not have the facilities to cater to your needs and my IT personnel is reluctant to explore new venture for fear you may damage our computer/program', etc. To me, these were 'shit' excuses and I grew resentful towards Singapore employers.
Just as I was resorting to the fact of applying for social assistance scheme, Annie encouraged me to send my resume to two organisations, one of which was IPP (Investment, Protection and Planning) Financial advisers. I went for the interview without any expectations. To my surprise, I was accept upon the first interview and the flexible hours really comes as a surprise.
My bosses do not expect me to work 5 days a week. My work week starts from Wednesday to Friday and we are still fine tuning the working hours.
Truly, I was honest with God. I told Him my savings have depleted and I really was at wit's ends. He did not abandon me but provide me this employment opportunity.
My managers are Christians as well and understanding people. They know I have to overcome many obstacles and we would encourage each other every day that it will be better than the day before. Indeed, God is Good to us and today, I finally got the breakthrough and am able to fulfil my job.
Another exciting thing that happened was I once use to know Pan Ying but lost touch wwith her after her marriage. It had been more than 10 years. 3 saturdays ago, Pan Ying came to FCBC to share her testimony and to present some songs. There, we re-established contact again. We were very joyful meeting each other and is planning to meet one of these days to catch up.
Really God is Good. Just tell Him your feelings and He will certainly address your concerns. Praise The Lord!
On 15 october, I caught up with Nan Sheng, one of the pioneers in promoting Xinyao, (songs written by Singapore Youths) during the 80s. We lost touch for more than 10 years though in the 90s, he was the host for Good morning Singapore in Channel 8 from 7-9 am. He is now an evangelist and will be ordained as a Pastor soon. Really happy for him for God has given him a happy family and the Kingdom career.
Early last Saturday morning, my grandma passed on. She was 84 and my family was very busy with her last rights. It was concluded yesterday where her ashes was placed somewhere she had chosen some years back. This marks the end of one generation in our family tree. Though sad, we are happy for her for she ended her suffering on earth and hopefully, she is in a better place now.
