Resignation

i will resign tmr.... one month's notice... i still can have two weeks to prepare.
and i still need to work after the CNY holidays.... i.e. i still can have their red packet.... hehe;p

actually i really can't imagine what would happen after i hand in the letter.... will the S.M. goes mad??
since three U.S. staff came on Mon and Tue.... they seems want to know if we can laid off some staff in our dept.... coz 6 designers for in-house...... but actually in the peak seasons, we work very hard..... OT for long....
if i leave, don't know if they can hire someone else.....
also they decide to fire the photographer and hire another one... i don't mention why.... but they will take action soon..... '

my colleague asked me to consider when is the suitable timing........ yes, TIMING.... i know what does it means.... lol ;p
to avoid her asks me too many things.... she would ask both related to the trip or some other thing... i've better do it around 5pm....
Friday is a good date too... coz i can give her 2 days to think and less embarrass ..... Mon will be back to normal.


i'm sleepy.... get bed now... update u tmr..

i cried today...

i cried today.... when i was singing at the choir practice.
He Leadeth Me, O Blessed Thought.... this is top 3 of my favourite song in my life at Hananiah's Choir. that's not new for me, i sang it many years before.... i think about 8 years ago?? i love the melody and the lyrics.... it touches my heart again and again. i had ever thought of using this song at my funeral.... coz in the verse 4, it says when my task on earth is done, by God's grace, the victory's won. And death's coldwave i will not fear. Since God through death is leading me.... it's really suitable for a funeral, we won't fear on death because we know where are we going to.
Also it says what ever i do, wherever i be, God's never forsake me, HE's leading me.... no fear for me to go the working holiday backpack trip.... God will protects me.
Even i may in danger... i may die... but i think i still got lots of things not done yet, God still need me to work for HIM, rite?!
i'm so blessed that i can have a chance to offer this song to God before i have the trip. it's touches my heart again. this time i even have stronger feeling.... when we rehearse this song, i wept.... i tried to control my emotions..... i seems saw  our conductor Ms Law was drying her tears too..... in the middle part, the score became blur.... too many tears in my eyes.... running nose finally....
i think God loves me so much ;)

i told Ms Law when we met again b4 leaving the church. she said being a choir member is so good because we can be blessed by the lyrics. yes, totally agree because i'm a slow reader, i can't read too much Bible, but the hymns help me a lot. i'm always fed by the lyrics.


the above sound clip was taken at the choir practice... exactly the time i cried ...

yesterday's sermon

i’m so touched by yesterday’s sermon talked by Pastor Lawrence. About the story of Sarah, Abraham's wife and Hagar. He given me some new ideas on these verse.

As God had promised to let Abraham’s offspring numbered like dust. But since she was getting old and desperate… she said “the Lord has not let me have children; go in to my maid, for I may get a family through her.”. This reflected her unfaithfulness in God. She used human ways to do what she wants but is that God’s will? She was successful on make Hagar pregnant. But the outcome is not what she wants.

I think of myself…. Am I desperate on find the one? My frds kidded to me, they said I can find a guy at AU and can try to hook a guy with some seductive ways like those women in “Sex and the City”. In fact, it’s dangerous for me… rapist is everywhere… I should protect myself. And even I can hook a guy, which kind of guy I would attract? That’s won’t be a guy I’m expected.

When I was on the way to WP after the Sunday service, I listened Sammi’s album. Being touched by the lyrics:

上帝早已預備 我不相信運氣
即使風光明媚 但卻不是你預期

情太過洶湧像深海　而我卻會忍耐
但求來日你醒過來
這份情像翅膀打開
還沒有相戀別意外　神教會我等待
待情流像細水　才去承諾你
拿一生兌換愛

很心急擁抱　所以在禱告

原來慢慢靠近　更珍惜這一吻

能為愛戀學習按奈　情信寄進心內
但求能學會倚靠神
愛被馴服過更精采

juz wait patiently… would be worth it and he MUST be a GREAT one and COMING SOON!

new netbook!!

juz bought a new netbook!! to keep update the blog and fb, a laptop is needed.... i'm now using it to update my blog...
Lenovo is not bad....at least the after-sales services is good... i'd once visited the services center... they could only take a few hours to repair my laptop....... and the shop keeper said this warranty is international, i can repair it oversea.......... seems not bad.
it's really small and handy.... 10.1" mon.... ok la....
i upgraded to 2GB Ram, 160GB HDD (i prefer 250GB).... but the price would be different.... anyway, includeding 2 candy pretty earphone (@$20) and upgraded the ram, i paid HK$29XX. enough for me.... i like Mac too... but expensive one is not good for backpacking.... same reason for me not to use iphone...

this candy earphone is cute, M&M look.... original price HK$28, now HK$20.... but i found ebay is now HK$12.41... 賤物鬥窮人?

BTW, i still need a portable external HDD.

some more outfit

to follow my frds and the books advise.... i bought some more outfit for the trip....

1. Fleece Jacket
for the cold weather.... and light weight.... Fleece is a good choice....
i found it at Uniqlo.... it's Men's wear.... but doesn't matter, i chose the S size.... black and grey bread checker pattern....
it's soft and comfortable....

2. Black Pants
To work at the restaurant, black pants is a must bring item. That's not the uniform that they would provide, we need to prepare ourselves. i'm not sure how many pants is enough for me to change and for one year. But i try to buy one more, i've got another one 2 weeks b4 already. this one is skinny one, it can remind me not to gain weight during this year, otherwise i can't wear it..... lol ;p

plan to buy a backpack, sleeping pack (not cosmetic thing!) and netbook also....

New Hairstyle

one more preparation for the trip. i cut my long long hair. i kept for N years already. i always asked my hairstylist, Hody to kept as long as she can. it could touch my hips already. But i think i won't cut my hair at Australia, so i must do a hair cut before the trip.
i wanted to cut more, but Hody said since i did ion perm straight hair, and my newly growth hair may not as straight as old one. this length may better to keep for one year. i trust her!
i spent 4 hours for the haircut and hair dye. Chris took video for cutting the tail... i keep it, really half of my hair length! haha
Do u like my new hairstyle?

More gear...

i bought some sun block today... as u know AU is a place with strong Sunshine... i should beware...
Jacky said skincare is soooo important.... even in early 20+... i'm in late 20+.....
lack of collagen... should use more mask treatments and take supplements.
i sometimes got little dry winkles.... if i keeps on sun tanning.... the situation will become worser... i don't want to come back with an old face....
i'm now trying MEIJI AMINO COLLAGEN. hope it works.... but i can't bring it with my trip.... how can i bring 1 year qty?? don't know if i can find it at AU?

mum said AU's sun block is expensive if compare with other cosmetic products.  and i think winter is the time for sale on sun tanning products.
i bought one Hawaiian Tropic for face, US products and famous brand. another one "Face of Australia SUN" from AU obviously. it didn't rang my bell but i think it should be suitable for using it at AU, i'm not sure if it will be cheaper to buy it there, but doesn't matter, AUD is in high currency...
bring them along first.
