Forgiveness

The pastor said, "Forgive those who have sinned against u, just as God forgives u. The vertical beam of the cross signifies we receive forgiveness from God and the horizontal beam means to give forgiveness to others.
When God forgives, He forgets completely (Isaiah 43:25)."

4 results of unforgiveness:
1) it keeps the pain alive.
2) it produces bitterness. Bitterness is like an infection, will harm ur overall wellbeing (Hebrews 12:15).
3) it gives Satan open doors (Ephesian 4:26-27).
4) it hinders fellowship w God (Matthew 6:14-15).

Jus let go, let God do His work in and thru us.
Thru prayer and fast, we will get our prayers answered in due time.

=p

I'm one of the Jiemei in SCKSL's wedding.

Fri 21/03/08 am

The brothers were late. Bro CK must say, "SL, I will love u forever. I'm here to fetch u." under her block. If she's able to hear that, he would be allowed to upstairs to fetch her.

The gate-crashing...
1st hongbao had too little $$ so we played pranks on them.
CK gave it all out when he ate the wasabi-filled bread into a heart shape.

In the midst of it, he kept saying there's short of time and tried to pry the padlock.
We, the sisters were shocked to find that it wasn't locked at all. We locked it.
Then CK drew out the keys (it's the bride, SL's younger bro passed it to him).
Another shock for us. He was very cheeky.
Told him for the sake of SL, pls cooperate.

When we'r satisfied w the sum of $$, we let him in.

Since he still had wasabi taste in his mouth, he felt weird to kiss SL.
The couple was flushed. He was bcoz of the chilli padi inside the wasabi bread and playing the pranks. Her? Heat rashes all over her back from the anticipation and hot weather.
(Hee! :p I brought a mini electric fan for them to use.)

Tea ceremony...
There were many relatives to be served. The relatives really looked similar.
We presented the specially made dessert (M&Ms w CK's and SL's names and the phrase 'meant to be' printed on them) from SL's fren, air-flown from US. Everyone was amazed.

With a bright, sunny weather, the day went smoothly and ended b4 the estimated timing at 1pm.
It began to rain heavily in the early afternoon.
I thank God for the good weather and no upsets had happened during the event.


Sat 22/03/08

Even though it was a heavy downpour, the guests came early for the wedding banquet.


We, sisters were busy helping them to sign-in and drop their hongbaos.
The brothers were inside, doing the final checks on the music and other preparations.




For the 1st march-in...
SL was wearing the sexy wedding gown. It shows her transclucent back and neck area w lace, and a corset in the front. CK in tuxedo, looking charming w a glitter hairdo by the makeup artist.
Blubbles were blown and soft music played when the couple walked in. It was so romantic.





Music performance...
B4 that, Jojo they all made a video of blessings given by staffs of diff pharmacy departmts to surprise SL. She was touched to tears.

She requested them to perform some songs that she would love to hear. (KM and i told her they r very serious about the job and practice vigoursly till very late.)
There was a hiccup somewhere in between but it was still great.
They did a good job.

Food...
SL knows what she likes. The Tung Lok food tasted fantastic. Nice!
It is the best wedding that i've been to.

Service...
The ppl who helping w the march-in, were professional. Great!
Ppl serving food? They are quick to serve and top-up ur drinks.

Hmm.. i'm unhappy about the part where they rushed u to finish up the food.

Bid farewell...

We went up to the suite to disturb the couple after the banquet.
The brothers were so goody-2-shoes. I tink they must be exhausted.

We, gals asked the couple to play games b4 he's allowed to have SL.
I felt bad about it since KM and i had no prior experience as Jiemei to do these sort of thing.

The couple gave each of us hongbaos and gifts other than wat was given by their parents.
I felt worse.

(Had diarrhoea since Sat morning, i duno wat's wrong.)

Bad thing happened to u when u did it to others. =s



My gift for the couple...
It's just a nice card w a design of diff expressions of a couple.
I did written some words inside to bless them and DIY something w a hongbao paper.

I'm tired of the stock take and rountine work.

We had the annual stock take on 14 & 15 March 2008.
Actually, it was supposed to be on the Easter weekend but... it will be Siu Ling's wedding on Saturday, 22th. So the chief pharmacist pushed it forward.

It was fun and heart-warming to see the old staffs to be hard at work. Haha...
Aishing was very happy to see they were eager and quickly finished the work, and the result of the report.
I'm not surprised at their response.
They can do it fast. It is just a matter whether they want to or not.
>_<"

Towards the end, half the group were resting and chatting while the others assisted the pharmacists to do the last editing of the report.

... ...

The next few days, i have to be buddies to the new perm and temp staffs.
I felt bad leaving them alone at times bcoz i'm busy checking my own work and the different daily works that i have to do.
It's tiring after the stock take and the patients are crowding the place after vacation has ended. Thank God that the new gals are eager to learn and quietly do their work, giving me some peace to attend to my work.

Wanna rest and read the Word of God to recharge the spirit.
Take a breather somewhere away from the buzz and chaos of the place. I need a holiday...

In conclusion...

in the afternoon...
I was telling E, Jo & Sam that our frenz (the young staffs) will leave the place sooner or later. It is just a matter of time.

E: asked A whether she has found a new job.
A: Yes.
E: what about the rest?
A: cip is waiting for 'time'.

The management is lousy.
I meant that the boss of OP did not control the experienced staff to bully the newbies and others. Let me to be more detailed, the experienced staff taught the newbies some knowledge and dump the difficult tasks on them, while they, themselves slack off (e.g. their mouths move to gossip but the hands are not working, disappear when it is not their breaktime & they work in slow motion / no sense of urgency during peak periods).

We had enough. That is y the few of us r resigning.

Jo & E: the boss did not ask the reason / try to retain the young blood (those who r hardworking, willing to brainstorm new ideas to improve & accept new ideas). They r nuts.

E: the boss should issue the warning letters to tame them awhile. If they do not improve, to ask them to leave.
I: Brillant idea! It is too bad that they r not firm enough. They r leaders in name without leadership / management qualities.

I pray for them to change for the better but... this kind of thing cannot be one-sided. They need to change the attitude.
If not? they will suffer eventually when the newbies & us quit.

at night...
Msg to my preg-reg: all of u r going 2 stay? Don't say that i did not warn u about them.
J: all of us have signed on. Pray for me.
I: i've always prayed but nothing seems to work

To be the same or change for the better

Magas made a point and I agreed to what she said. We can help out until the weak is able to stand up and earn a living. We are applying what is written in the Book of James.

She can see that the new cashier, M is a slacker and our boss, J is blinded to hire her. J is too caught up in work and to maintain the manpower until… she can’t see that some of us are working hard while others just slack off.

… …

F asked Jo yesterday that her frenz are resigning, when she will leave. She does not want to comment.
F said to her, so it is confirmed that she is leaving too. It implies that there is no secret in the office.

I shared with Jo; a colleague wants to check whether my last day is the end of April. I tried to recall, I only let some ppl know but I forgotten who.

The point is some of them are spending the time to gossip and slack during office hours.

>_<”
