These are some highlights during my holidays:
~ Everybody is hyped about Superman Returns back home. I was never really a big fan of Marvel comics, and I'm sure that it is a really good show. But I would really recommend watching Adam Sandler's greatest movie yet - Click. I watched it at Regent on Manners with CK, JY, Amanda, Li Hui and Beng. The show was supposed to be a comedy, but at the end, it moved everybody to tears. The movie reminded me about the leprechaun and how he wanted to find his pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, and when he finally reached the end of the rainbow, the pot of gold was only cornflakes. Sometimes the greatest riches of life lie in simple things: family, friendship, love. Watch the movie. It's worth every single penny.
~ I can play mahjong. It is a great game because I get it. I can play chor dai di as well (sort of) but I suck big time because I don't get it. I like mahjong because I get it. *I think my dad may have a million things to say to me right now*. But I still don't gamble. I don't play with money. Haha...
~ I've never been employed my entire life. If you refer to my older posts you would have read about me applying for early childhood job through an agency. I've waited for one whole month for that job. I've prayed, begged God, asked my lifegroup to pray, asked my mom to pray etc. Throughout that one month, I've applied for various other jobs but I've always hoped that I'll get this childcare job because the pay is high (12.80 dollars per hour before tax), the hours are flexible (I can choose when to work and I don't have to work on weekends, which means I can still lead my usual life), and I enjoy taking care of kids. I'm glad to say that God does answer prayers, and He answers it in His own mighty ways and in His own timing. I started work last Friday. I worked from 9am to 5.30pm in Citykids Childcare Center on Tinakori Road. Most of the permanent staff were great, and they helped me a lot. I was really nervous on my first day of work. I don't know what to expect but everybody was extremely helpful. Ying, the senior attendant in the childcare center made me feel welcomed and taught me what I need to know. It was a really tiring day, but it was worth it. The children were absolutely wonderful. I'm serious. Ok. Most of them were wonderful but a few were just plain devils. Ok, let me rephrase that again. Children are basically devils in disguise. Sometimes they are like angels. Most of the time they drive you nuts. But I can't help loving them. They're so cute, adorable, innocent and they are the future of the world. Their greatest problem is "When is Mommy coming to pick me up?" Life is simply wonderful when you're a kid. I'm going to work there again on Monday. I'm hoping that I'll be able to get consistent jobs on Monday afternoons and Fridays when the semester starts. My hours are not fixed because the jobs that I'll be getting will depend on whether the agency can get bookings for me. I'm praying now for consistency. But I thank God for this job. I know it is God-given. Praise Him!
The holidays are not over yet. Happy days are still rolling my way and miracles are going to happen! I'm looking forward to how God is going to, and I quote from Paster Gillian Cameron - "show-off in my life"
