My Rantings for the Day

Blogger troubles...
For the last few days, I have been having problems posting at bloggers. I always get an error message each time I tried to post. I have to post many times at different time of the day to finally get them posted. *sigh* Not sure if I am the only one having this problem.

Me workaholic...
I am a confirmed workaholic! Sad.. sad. :( My work never seems to end and I still have a long minutes of meeting (6 hours) which I need to listen and type but just couldn't find the time to do so. I am hoping to download free voice-to-text converter so it could ease my typing. Does anyone know where to find that software?

My sanity...
I guess God knows I am such a sensitive and sentimental person that if I am not kept occupied at all times, I may die of a broken heart sooner or later. Busyness keeps me from emotional 'disaster'. :P

My devotion...
One thing I am thankful to God for is the devotional times I kept daily since last Oct. They are life to my spirit and water to soul, always bringing me back to sanity whenever my mind is crowded with stressful events or thoughts. Just like in today's devotion, I learned about Sowing and Reaping. I need to reorder my life to reap the right stuff I want.

That's all for today... Thank you for 'listening'.

Flattered

BUZZZZZZZZZZ....... Busy, busy, busy....... No time to blog, to reflect, to admire nature, to feel my heart....

Surprised by a "long lost" friend's testimonial for me that says:

Truly a gem. A diamond that shines so bright that others see the beauty of her character at all times. Having passion for all things alive that God created, never failing to to meet the needy with her limited time.

She has a good teacher, that's one thing for sure. That'll be Jesus. She's warm, affectionate, wise, beautiful, sweet, a great listener, clumsy, blur and sometimes a bit opinionated... hehe



Oh, thanks for the testimonial. I am flattered! But are you sure I am like that or not? I think I am just an ordinary gal next door....

Thanks for the compliment, my friend. :)

Love

I found the following quotations at Courtship vs. Betrothal as I was trying to read more regarding "holy kiss" mentioned in tonight's Daily Bread.

"Love the one you marry." - Paul - Apostle - circa 60AD

"And if you can't be with the one you love, honey, love the one you're with." - Crosby, Stills, Nash, Young - musicians - circa 1970AD



Food for thoughts ya.... more articles at Fortifying The Family.

Work and Me

I am very accident prone to accident, said my best friend. True, I just got my finger cut by my office toilet roll holder last night. This is the 3rd time accident happened to me while at my new job. :(

Anyway, my job is quite challenging... keeping my mind busy, always thinking of creative and non-traditional ways to solve problems at work. At times, I felt frustrated by office politics, but I am learning how to get things done in spite of that. Thank God for giving me the strength to persevere on. I like the passage for tonight's devotion found in Isaiah 40:28-31:

28 Do you not know?
Have you not heard?
The LORD is the everlasting God,
the Creator of the ends of the earth.
He will not grow tired or weary,
and his understanding no one can fathom.

29 He gives strength to the weary
and increases the power of the weak.

30 Even youths grow tired and weary,
and young men stumble and fall;

31 but those who hope in the LORD
will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint.

Btw, you may visit cssmania to spot the work of my best friend, and vote for him if you like. If you can spot his work, I shall give you a prize. :D

Haze Makes Me Hazy

The haze situation got worse today. According to Channel NewsAsia, "Singapore issues health advisory over thick haze":

Singapore's environment agency has issued a health advisory as a thick haze from illegal fires in Indonesia choked the city-state and surrounding region.

Singapore's pollution index at 0800 GMT Saturday was 128, compared with 80 on Friday. A reading above 101 is considered unhealthy.

"Persons with existing heart or respiratory ailments should reduce physical exertion and outdoor activity. The general population should reduce vigorous outdoor activity," the National Environment Agency advised.



Yes, the haze makes me hazy too like the picture above...

I left my hp in my office toilet this afternoon, only to realize it when I was waiting for the bus at the bus-stop. Thank God that I was prompted to search for it before I board the bus and quickly rushed back to my office toilet to look for it when I couldn't find it.

Oh no... it wasn't in the toilet anymore! :(

Nevertheless, I went to ask around and a kind soul actually brought it to our counter staff. Thank God I got back my hp. :)

Haze Report by Buzy Bee

According to the ABS-CBN news today, Haze-covered Singapore sets new pollution record,

SINGAPORE - Singapore's pollution index reached its highest level this year Friday as a thick haze enveloped the city-state.

The National Environment Agency reported a pollution index reading of 80, in the moderate range but higher than the previous record of 73 set Monday when a grey haze from land and forest fires in Indonesia moved over the city.

More news can be found at Channel NewsAsia.


Yes, the haze is terrible here now. My eyes and throat are feeling a little soar now with slight cough. I hope the rain will fall tonight.

I Fell Again

Ouch!!

I had a fall this afternoon while visiting a school. My high heel got trapped and stuck to the groove between the rough tiles and down I went. Sooooooo embarrassing. :(

See the result....
