People move with time..what about me?


As the title says, 'People move with time, what about me'??? After a year plus of stepping into the corporate ladder, guess its time to think about what's next for me? Sometimes the thoughts in me would be..its OK Janice, just continue to do what you're doing and your effort will pay off at the end of the day. But, sometimes vice versa thoughts would be..Come on Janice, you've been working so hard and yet not being appreciated much.time to move! Well, honestly speaking I'm really in dilemma now..I do enjoy learning so much currently, but I do stress up most of the time which is really bad on the other side of the story. How? Should I leave and move on? Or should I stay and wait? God, can you tell me what's next??

Chapter closed for 2011

I was just casually chatting with my colleagues about plans for the weekend, knowing many would want to spend their countdown moments with family/friends, stuck in the jam and crowded places with people. Only intention is to get some fun and watch fireworks. It's all about 'hype' I guess..is somehow different for me this year. I chose to be away from the hassle and spend a peaceful-restful new year eve with my loved ones :)

It has been a year of stormy-challenging-closer bond, both personal and family. There were ups and downs moments where it really struck me to questioned God many times. Some prayers were answered yet some were left behind with thoughts. It was quite a struggle learning to trust God in times when I don't seem to understand. No matter how tough it was and it is to come, I just wana thank God for being faithful and standing by our family through the times. Thank you Lord!

Looking back and moving forward, my prayer is that whatever left behind, it will come to a closure and God will continue to see us through with His abundant blessings as a family. Pray for His promises to be fulfilled in each of our lives as we journey into year 2012.

Personally, I hope that God will also grant me with a bigger and clearer magnifying glass to drill deeper on His plans for me. Blessed New Year peepss!!

The 'Digging' process


Can you guess the relation of this picture with this post? Its neither learning ABC nor learning about colours. It rather speaks about my interview process in Nestle today. I'm thankful that God answered my prayer. I was shocked to receive their call during my saturday noon nap. Weird hour huh? Probably meeting timeline to shortlist the candidates.

It was another amazing interview experience with 50 minutes of Q&A session. In fact, they told me is the 3rd stage of selection. So, understandable why they questioned in detail. Both interviewers were pretty professional. I would term them as all rounder. Even the HR personnel also knows about brand equity. During the interview, I was exactly like the box with different content inside. They actually 'dig' things within me one after another..after asking for A, then they go further with B, C, D and the list goes on. Practically, I don't have the time to even think how to answer. Just gotta speak intelligently.

It was very much testing on my character, then experience, then examples, and the hardest comes when they asked me off guard questions like what other USP (unique selling point) can you think of for this product? Mind you all these brain squeezing questions were from the mouth of this HR personnel.

Overall, it was a good learning process and I did my very best. At least I know what to expect from big firms like this in the future. I do hope I can be part of Nestle but Management Trainee position is really a tough program. I dare not think beyond the outcome but its just the time to pray and wait for God to decide.

Always pray and not give up!

Today's message by Pastor Lawrence leave a deep thought in me. Its about how we should pray prayers that Touches Heaven, Changing Earth. He uses the passage on Luke 18:1-8 about a widow whom keep on bugging a judge to grant her justice against her enemy. Due to her consistency, the judge actually give in to her request with the thoughts of avoiding the bothering process anymore. This parable clearly defines that we should always pray and not give up. Its definitely another hard core process.

There are 3 types of prayers that we should adapt in our daily walk. Persistent prayer can be summarized in few scenarios. If we pray with a wrong motive, God says NO. If we pray at the wrong timing, God says SLOW DOWN, If we pray and the answer is delayed, God wants us to GROW,and if we pray at the right timing, God says GO! These points are still running through my mind. Trying to see the possibility in my current prayer requests.

Prophetic prayer is prayer that goes beyond the ordinary situation. In other words, we should stretch our prayers towards the future.In Habakuk 1: 5, it says watch whats happening and pray! When the answer comes, spiritual revival take place. Sometimes, we may find it hard to express in words and yes. crying can also be a form of prayer to God. It's praying in the spirit.

Lastly, Passionate prayer is all about our dedication and commitment to pray. Its not trying to set time for prayer but instead, it should be build within our schedule and habit to pray daily. Again, it strikes me to really evaluate my current prayer life. Hmmmm..

It may seem to be a hard core process, but His word is always an encouragement to bring us hope.

Romans 8:28 And we know in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have called according to his purpose.

Daniel 10:12 Do not be afraid, Daniel. Since the first day you set your mind to gain understanding and to humble yourself before God, your words were heard, and I have come in to response to them.

I shall hope in the Lord and knowing that in all times, God make things beautiful :) Pray and trust!

Recharge and Digest




It was set to have 2 meetings today for CG planning and Frenz Ministry. Ended up with 3 meetings with the additional for Social Concern Ministry. One after another. Seriously serious I was zoom off during the last meeting and merely listening meanwhile digesting the plans and activities shared by Doreen. A thought to ask myself again am I ready to take up commitments? As much as I want to serve and feeling excited, its also a concern whether can I do it knowing there are so many uncertainties ahead of me? Perhaps should learn to cling on for I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me Phil 4:13. I want to recharge to serve and digest to the reason of serving. Variety of His 'fruits' to digest one at a time.
