Every day is a journey of learning for me for the past 2-3 weeks. Why do I say so? Being a visually impaired person living in Singapore, we may not be able to get the support from the authorities or the so-call Blind Association in times of need. I had been in search of a job till I gave up in November. However, in December, an opportunity came by. However, this job partnership did not last for as long as I'd hoped for. The company that took me in is a new set-up and is bringing in a new concept into Singapore. The boss is not realistic in that, he wants big clients before establishing his company in Singapore. I am not saying that it is impossible but clients need time to know us and the company.
Perhaps, I did not know how to manage their expectations and He put me down several times. Already, during the promotion of the Guo Nian Match-Ups, my friends and family already cautioned me about him. I always am very forgiving and would like to continue working with him. However, it came to an abrupt end in that he said that his partner was not keen to engage me any longer for they doubted my calibre. I accepted it and quit on the very day.
Fortunately, Auntie Grace, Uncle Chu and Joseph Chew were ready to engage me as part of their editorial team and my core duty is telemarketing, something I'd been doing in the past.
You see, when God closes a door, two others open. Besides employed with ServeHope Pte Ltd, I also joined my cousin, Linda in the beauty and wellness business.
I really trust God that He will never abandon us or leave us hungry. His divine plan is always higher than ours.
I believe before the year ends, I'll be a prosperous person. Till next time, Cheers.

THE PAST ONE MONTH
Hey all,
Time and tide really waits for no man. It seems not so long ago, February left us, and now, we are left with 10 days of March. I just can't imagine saying good-bye to 2008 in nine months without achieving my goals that I set for this year.
Well to stock take, the first three months has been a learning process. I went into an employment, finding that I'll be leaving by end of this month. Well, will be signing a new contract doing another thing starting in April. Whatever it is, my goal for this year is to start my own business and to allow myself to determine my pay cheque and not wanting outsiders to determine my economic worth.
The new company I'll be joining is a company that s staff strenth of 80% made of People with Disabilities and 20% our sighted counterpart. That's cools to find this in Singapore. Well, I guess, someone with a heart must start this as an example for other employers to follow.
Will update you as I go along.
For the Good Friday cum Easter Weekend, my church is conducting sanctification services in which I went soul searching and have been enjoying discovering myself.
Well, have to leave off here as someone is impatient, MSNsing me now.
Do leave your message for me. CHEERS

WELL INTO 2008
February 2008 is ending soon in 10 days time. Wow! Time has really flown by me but I feel that so far, God has been very good to me. In January, He kept me busy with the business of Guo Nian MatchUps games which did quite well. Since we went on 938live, the national radio, sales hadn't been too bad. It's a pity that it was not launched earlier. Nevertheless, close to 200 sets were being sold with more enquiries coming. For those of you who miss the opportunity this year, you can get in touch in Mid December 2008 and we'll try to get the game to you.
I say God has been very good for I have been praying with someone for 4 months. He is also looking for directions, for instance, should he carry on being his own boss or accept a posting in China on his terms. Guess what! He really got the job to go to China on his terms and will be drawing on a handsome salary packet. Praise the Lord!
As for me, I had 3 job offers, of which, I am still evaluating which to accept. Of course, I am not drawing his kind of salary packet but it is good enough for my expenditure, with some to save. Praise God!
My collaboration with my cousin is going on very well and we hope to encourage more people to come on this program to benefit from it.
Last may, when I went for my medical screening, (a routine once a year), my doctor warned that I am a little on the plum side. However, since January, I have been making a conscious effort to reduce excess weight and I am very pleased that it has worked well for me.
This program does not encourage you to go on a crash diet or to deprive oneself of the intake of food but the supplements of this company really speaks for itself.
I believe I shall be on the way to good health during my next visit in 12 weeks time. For those of you who wants to be like me, please leave your message and contact details so I can get in touch. Bye for now.

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2008
Hello friends,
Before I begin, like to wish one and all a happy, healthy and wealthy 2008. Already it's 12 jan into the new year.
I have been keeping myself very occupied lately, going into various joint venture. Do you still remember the 'Guo Nian Match-Ups' card game I blogged about several times? Happy to note that it is bearing fruit as orders are coming in. My wish for this project is to sell all 10,000 sets before the Lunar New Year. Played the game with several prominent people who are helping me promote to their friends and relatives.
Apart from this, I am also assisting my cousin in her health and wellness business. It's very exciting helping some people to restore their health and others to get in shape as they age gracefully. I hope to use this platform to broaden my base and hope to secure continuous projects throughout the year.
Have been trying to swim more regularly. However, with the current weather condition in Singapore, it's quite difficult to plan ahead for, several times, our plans were disrupted by the rain. Well, hope the weather will be kinder to us next time.
Normally, I do not make resolutions. However, I hope to be able to visit friends who relocated from Singapore to another land due to work commitments. I hope to visit them before they return home, to learn their way of life abroad and at the same time to catch up with them as well.
Till next time, all the very best. Please leave a comment or if you like to order this very exciting card game to play with loved ones during the Lunar New Year, kindly leave your contact details so I may get in touch with you.

COUNT DOWN TO YEAR END
Have all of you started counting down to the new year? In previous years, it had always been exciting time for me because I usually feel a brand new year means a brand new start. However, it has not been so.
I'm happy that work is coming in and this means there is money to be earned. One bad news really made me think about life's meaning; is it worthwhile to work so hard and find oneself inflicted with a disease which you hope you will not be a victim off?
I questioned this because someone I revered a lot had been contracted with stage 3 colon cancer. He is so wise, good and charitable. How come disease still fine him? Doesn't it know he is a good person? I feel some times, even eating healthily (eating organic food, multi-vites, etc.) is it a good thing after all? I have been told organic foods are good sources for it is produced naturally and no insecticide or pesticide is used on them. I wonder how true and can I trust the labels since we cannot varify the source.
Apart from this bad/sad news, I would say, work is going along fine and I am enjoying every moment of it.
Remember I was telling all of you about the new card game 'Guo Nian Match-ups' that I am marketing? I am happy that it is quite well received. Moreover, it's so affordable that families can play during 'shou shui' during the Lunar New Year's eve, traditionally we normally don't get to sleep.
It's good for children to pick up the Chinese Language as well, in our very simple way in contribution to the society.
Till next time, here's wishing one and all a happy holiday and may this Christmas bring you joy and love.

A YEAR OF VICTORY
Every year, on the first Sunday, our Senior Pastor would outline the theme for the church. This year, the theme is 'YEAR OF VICTORY' and we were encouraged to be a Blessing to others and to Go Deepl, Look Far and Ask Big.
For the first half of the year, life had been a brisk, having a job which paid me a salary, although not much. I was quite contented, hoping that my contract could be renewed.
However, things did not tturned out as expected and I have been going through a period of uncertainty. Though having spoken to a couple of employers, the prospect of employment had not been forthcoming. I doubted if the authorities was sincere when they said publicly that our Nation will adopt a policy of an 'Inclusive Society' where PWDs would be accorded equal opportunities.
Fortunately, I have been an optimistic person and 'never say die'. I persevered and soon had assignments.
I have a prayer partner whereby we would pray every night without fail, believing that a breakthrough would come in December since our church and many of our pals have been experiencing good things in their lives.
Just as I clinched my small assignment two weeks ago, I received a bigger assignment that will last till just before Lunar New Year 08.
At the same time, my partner also have new business opportunity and we will continue to pray for bigger breakthroughs.
Let me share a little more about my new venture. I shall be marketing 'Guo Nian Matchups' cards with the objectives of:
1. To encourage children to take an interest in the Chinese language via fun in our own small ways by matching auspicious Lunar New Year greetings,
2. To educate and inform children that gambling can be an addiction, starting from a very young age and
3. To allow parents to engage with their children in the festive occasion without the tool of placing bets or play 'bun luck' with their ang-pao money.
In our small way, we want to inculcate good values into the young of today so they will not become society's burden when they grow up.
If this venture prove successful, then, we will roll out other games in the pipeline. If you're keen and interested to know more or to purchase a set, please leave your details or email me at leelee.lim07@gmail.com and I'll do my utmost to deliver to you.
You are welcome to visit my website at your own convenience.

WEEK OF LITTLE FRUIT
Hello everyone,
Have not been updating for about a week. Well, This week, learned a lot of things. I've always been active in church, especially with the Special People Ministry and the vocal cum choir. I've not been serving in the choir for about 6 months now and was comtemplating of going back. However, I learned from my pals that the choreography have been more extensive and rigorous. One of my mates asked me to not return to serve for fear that I may fall off the platform. I'm still considering and should know where to go by beginning of 08. However, I enjoy serving with the Special People Ministry, especially reading lyrics to them so they can follow the worship and can engage God too.
I finally got a small assignment after some calling. I hope this could branch to something more lucrative, while I explore other ideas of bringing in business. I have been quite busy this week, a good sign I hope.
If any of your friends or even yourself or your organisation need copy writing or editting service, do leave your contact details and I'll be in touch with you. If you are living in Singapore, do visit my company website at at http://www.s3communications.com.sg and see how we can collaborate with you.
That's all for the time being. Have a blessed week ahead.
