Since my last blog about 2 months ago, a lot have happened.
Firstly, I was told by my previous bosses that they couldn't pay me any longer and my contract would be terminated a week earlier. However, in mid March, the contract got terminated prematurely. I was a little panic. However, God brought me a new assignment. I was asked to train a group of Financial advisers on how to succeed in cold calling. Initially, my previous bosses were reluctant that I was being engaged for such an assignment.
Eventually, they relented when the branch manager approached them officially and the air was clear.
God had other surprises installed. Just as my contract was terminated, Joseph, the branch manager approached me and informed me his adviser was keen to engage me as his telemarketeer and he was willing to match the rate my bosses were paying me.
During the 3rd training session, he spoke with me and we came to a concensus and that work would commence in april. I was transparent with my bosses and they were happy for me.
Though I'm no longer their employee, we still spoke with each other whenever we meet in the office.
When I was approached by Joseph to conduct the training, I knew PPT slides were crucial for I am training a group of seeing people. I studied JAWS menu for a little and begun creating the PPT slides. However, because of accuracy, I asked another friend to vet. He gave a 'Fantastic' score. However, I felt that wasn't enough. On 21 March, he took 2 hours to teach me the proper procedures. What I now do is to follow the procedure and send him for vetting, which he happilly helps me every week.
The 3rd batch of 4 pups arrived on 14 March. Though 1 fatality, the rest are doing well and 2 will be going to their new owners end of the month.
I Registered for an ice cream making workshop organised by 938live. Initially, I couldn't find anyone to accompany me. However, on the last day of registration, Karen decided to come along. We felt it was an eye opening event for did we find out that making ice cream does not require a refrigerator to bring down the temperature. It was simple; that we add the exact measurements of whip cream milk and flavours. we then covered with a ziplock bag filled with salt and ice which brings the temperature to minus 20 degrees C and massage it. After about 25 mins to half an hour, the ice cream is ready for tasting. We made friends and got 20$ vouchers to spend at Udders ice cream.
Stanley and pamela profiled David the chief milkman of the ice cream shop on monday and I won another 20$ worth of icecream vouchers.
I brought Viola to the Udders Ice Cream on 14 April and we had a wonderful evening catching up with each other.
I went with Lay Hua and some friends for a musical on 17 March at the Drama Centre Theatre. This is the 2nd season. Though very touching, the play carried deep insights that worth reflection.
In Jan 2009, I submit my application to Pastor Paul to go to the HillSong's conference with the church. However, due to certain obstacles, I canceled my trip and committed it to our Good Lord. However, He cleared the way a few days ago, And now, I'm looking forward to attend the conference in July. I hope to grow in the Lord in Ministry and to serveHim more effectively and sensitively.
I hope this trip will be a refreshing one and will be praying and working hard that this trip will be a fruitful one.
That's all for now. Update soon and God bless.
