Since my last post, I have been going in search for new assignments. Though sent many job applications and going for several interviews, no news yet. However, I guess, for employers to be willing to take persons with disabilities, embarking on a public education campaign is vital. I hope our government has the political will to do more to give more recognition to PWDs.
I sincerely hope the parelympians will receive equal treatment as their able-bodied counterparts. Since the government is willing to reward able-bodied sports men and women for their achievements, I hope they can do likewise for atheletes with disabilities who put in equal, if not more time and effort to be where they are today.
I hope by the next time I blog, I can celebrate something.

HAPPY-SAD TWO MONTHS
Since my last blog, lots of events have taken place. Firstly, I successfully completed my two months stint with aAdvantage Consulting Group. Though only managed to sell one seminar package, was glad that at least, someone bought the package.
3 pups arrived on 21 June which brought us short term joy. The last of them passed on this morning. Though sad, have to live with it for according to the vet, they die from something called the Fading Puppy Syndrome, which may occur from a viral or bacteria infection, which can be contracted either in the womb or due to secondary infection. This usually can infect the whole litter, which unfortunately, happened to our pups.
One interesting thing to note is that even criminating a little puppy can costs more than $200, very shocking indeed. Therefore, we've decided to dispose her by ourselves.
I was among the 12,998 participants of the Young NTUC contingent at the Padang for the National Day Celebrations. It was very breath-taking, hearing the plane fly pass to the Floating Platform at Marina Bay. The sights and smell of the fireworks also contributed to the excitement. We were using inflatables and round torches to form the Singapore Flag, which is the biggest human flag since the event became apart of the National Day Celebrations since 2006/7.
I'll show you the cute little pups here. Bye for now.

EXCITING JUNE/JULY
The month of May was a preparation for what is to happen in the coming two months. Not for a moment did I dreamed that a 2-months assignment would come my way. When the opportunity came, I actually recommended my friend for the post. Later did I know that another position has been made available due to unforseen circumstances. Though not my dream job or something I'd like to have a career in, I accepted the offer and is beginning to enjoy it.
Since leaving the insurance industry in 2004, I decided then that telemarketing job wouldn't be my future rice bowl. However, God's ways are higher than mine and His thoughts are higher than mine. I believe, He wants me to learn humility and to be appreciative of every opportunity given.
It's been two weeks and I'm still looking forward in making my first deal. Though the environment has changed a lot, I believe with all my heart, with God's blessings and guidance, a sale would eventually come my way.
Though Jun has not been in office since last Friday, we are adapting well to our new colleagues and I would say, I'm quite independent and would rely a lot on myself in doing most tasks.
The next time I blog again, it may be the beginning of the 2nd half of 2008. Really, time and tide waits for no man and we must learn to treasure every moment.
Something good is breeding at home. The second lot of puppies are about to be birthed and my family and I are waiting in anticipation. The Three girls are growing healthily and happily and it's always a joy knowing they will be at the door greeting me when I get home.
My hope for the second half of the year is to walk closer with God and to be able to work in the Public Relations field and establish a career from it.
My mom and auntie will be going for a short family camp and I'll get to manage my things by myself at home.I pray that they will come to accept Jesus Christ as their Saviour and enjoy a life of Love with God.
Dear God, may you hear my cries and prayers and quickly bring to pass so I may support myself and bring glory to your name.
Please grant my request to serve in the main services on Sunday as a vocalist again for I wanna use my voice for your glory. Help me to pass the audition tomorrow and may I be promoted to be involved inthe MP team. In jesus Name I ask with ThanksGiving, amen.

SINCE THE ESCAPT OF MAS SELAMAT
Since the escape of Mas Selamat from the WRDC on 27 february, many points of view have arisen on his escape. Personally, I am not too worry about it praying and hoping the authorities will apprehend him sooner than later. Many creative entrepreneurs made $$$ by printing T-shirts, mugs, to mention two items among the many, selling to the public. Hahaha, don't know when this will come to a good conclusion.
For the past few weeks, have been busy, marketing my beauty and wellness products, working for another company and on a lookout for better offers to come by.
What's heartening is that a friend of mind entered my song for an International competition, surprise!!! However, I feel that this may be the chance opportunity for me to allow my hobby to become my vocation. Hope this will be a good springboard and stepping stone. Don't know when the result be known. Nonetheless, keeping my fingers cross and pray that my entry will be recognised by the judges as a good piece of art work.
Well, life can be a journey and a stage, depending how one decides to live it, right?
The demise of a well-known radio presenter really brings home the message that when God calls us home, it's the greatest reward, therefore, we must live a life worthy of a legacy, so others can remember the good we would have done during our passage on earth.
That's all for now, till next time!! CHEERS and GOD BLESS!!!!

EVENTFUL WEEKS
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.
