Another day of work+church activities...
    - Thursday, June 22, 2006

Work was alright.Spent a full day having "lessons" with tons of notes..One whole thick stack which I can't imagine how I am going to finish reading and understanding all the details in that stack.But no choice,have to do it some way or another. Actually I kind of like being in training because I learn things about credit cards that I never knew,too much in fact. Think at the end of it, I will become a credit card expect and I can explain to you about credit card statements, all the UOB credit card promotions and all the charges that may be involved with purchases made with a credit card..haha..

And I get to have lunch with my fellow trainees and joke and chit chat during the breaks...Guess I am starting to know all of them better and they are really quite funny especially the guys man..They can ask the weirdest and most redundant questions which I can't even bear to type it out where the rest will just break down into laughter upon hearing them. Gosh, some people really have no clue that they are being an idiot by asking those questions man..haha..but guess it does lighten the mood in the training room which is a good thing la.

After work,Adrian came to pick me up since it was his way to church. He is also in the church choir that I just joined.Pick me up meaning I got to sit on his motorbike!!!!It was crazy man..I was like totally shivering throughout and I think I must have hurt his shoulders badly since I grabbed it so tightly but no choice man, it was my first time on a motorbike so cant blame me!!=)I did not even dare open my mouth when he talked to me during the ride..and I think I cursed his bike le..Firstly, we missed the turning to PIE so had to go by a longer way and take CTE. Next along CTE, the bike got cranky and he had to drive the bike towards the side of the expressway to check it out.

It turned out that the mechanic might have done something accidentally to his bike earlier which caused it to stall..It was the first time something like this happened to his bike so I really think I cursed his bike le being my first time on it.So he asked me to go first by taking a cab while he try to get help. Though the bike stalled in the middle CTE,luckily the side was walkable to a HDB estate so all I had to do was to climb over some metal railing,walked through pretty muddy grass and then crossed over a small drain before reaching the HDB. Then I just walked straight towards a main road and then I realized that I reached Felicia's block!!Damn funny la..I laughed when I saw "St George's Road" so I immediately called her to update her what happened..And it turns out that she,Maggie and Kenny were gonna watch the world cup together at kenny's place. Sadly I could not go cos I had choir practice to rush for...hopefully we will watch it together again this friday yeah???

Choir prac was gd! First part was some orientation thing for me. The head of the choir took me aside to test my pitching, musicality and range. It was rather stressful man cos I had to sing in tune with whatever she plays on the piano then she asked me to sing as high as possible and stretch my vocals so she could tell me which parts in a piece I should be in.I also had to choose a church hymn and then sing it alone.Gosh, I never sang to people I don't really know all by myself but luckily I never go out of tune too badly.But one feedback was that I have to learn how to breathe properly.So I was accepted into the choir!=)It turns out too that I should singing soprano rather than alto which I always thought I was better at.At least for the past few Christmas caroling at CSS, I was always singing alto. So now I know...I can hit a high A le.ha.

I am really glad that choir has provided me with an avenue to serve in church, something I've been wanting to do since forever and I've always been procrastinating.So this is the first big step! I have stepped out of my comfort zone and I already promised the choir leaders that I will be committed to it. It will definitely take up alot of time and committment in future but I know that God will help me pull through it all.
