Goodbye February 2011

Dear February,

You went by very quickly. However, you are 1 month that I would remember. You gave me the opportunity to rest because of the 5-day holiday break due to the Lunar new year. Hence, I was able to resume to work the subsequent week.

I was invited by YuZhen Jie to participate in a program broadcasted on 1/2/11, hosted by Violet FenYing at love972 on 1 Feb. It was an eye-opener for I discovered how in this new era, the world of programming has become more adaptable to the layman. Sound engineers and the back-end personnel are not required to stand-by in the studio to salvage situations.

Though DiD wasn't too busy in comparison with January, I thoroughly enjoyed my duties, receiving children, teens and adults alike. I achieved my objective of imparting some form of understanding and help changed perceptions of the masses regarding persons with visual impairment.

The sales of cookies had slowed down a lot because the main ingredient went out of stock islandwide. Hence, I wasn't proactive in soliciting orders. I am still trying to fulfil outstanding orders.

For me, the Lunar new year gave me the opportunity to catch up with relatives and friends. A little episode to record. I had a 5-day relationship, which gave me a little reprieve. Though saddened that it had to ended abruptly, thank God that He did not allow it to drag or the heartbreak would be more painful.

One positive news though: i'll be starting a 1-year stint with lobangclub.com with funding for my salary from MDA. Itt brings me excitement for I am back to the PR job again, a job I used to enjoy tremendously while I was with Aljunied Town Council. Though the new media has evolved, the opportunities to acquire new skills is abundant and really interests and excites me a lot.

With Colette's help, I attended a 1-day course with the renowned author Felix Cheong on 18 February on freelancing as a full-time writer. I gathered much knowledge and hope to apply them in my new employment. Wish me every success.

The earthquake in Christ Church in NZ has been on my mind since the past week. Kindly pray for those affected that they can find sleep and find strength in God to move on in life. Through this, I know Grace. May God bless her and console her and friends too.
