I Am Lynn Chong

In 4 days time, year 2007 is coming to an end. Like all other years, there were ups and downs, but year 2007 was a good year still and i am thankful to God for that. Let's look at some major events in lyn's life in year 2007:) 8. Year 2007, i graduted from NUS. Entering NUS was a dream come through, a totally by God's grace chance. In NUS, my values and thinkings were put to a great great challenge. Nevertheless the learning has been the most beneficial and enjoyable. Undergrad life pass faster than any of my other academic years but it has been the best learning period of my life, academically wise:) 7. Year 2007, i got my first full time job. First pay. I consider my first experience into the workforce, though a little challenging but still i landed on rather soft ground and protected environment. Work-scope wise, you have already heard my numerous lament. But i am thakful to God, He probably know if reality were to hit me one time straight in the face, i probably cannot ...

So i was chatting with the two from down under. It's nice to have people ask you " how have you been?" isn't it?:) More importantly, i manage to cheat free accomodation and food from one of them! haha! Let's keep the proof here!:)

Now, i'm writing this post not because henry asked me to. But i think mr chia's effort require some appreciation even though there's no picture of that brownie! Even if it's very hard for you to imagine, just accept the fact that Pookary Chia Ching Hwee made brownie! Yeah! He use that flour and butter and put it into the oven! And it was the most high-class brownie you can ever get, cause our dear Henry use the Cadbury Chocolate that i gave him for Christmas to make brownie............................................................... Where got people use all the good chocolate to make brownie!! Next time he's gonna use Godiva! But i shall forgive him, cause i had a share of the brownie and it's really not bad at all for a first time:) And now i found a person to discuss baking with me...:) Dao Yan, i'll be waiting for that chocolate fondue:) Henry - The director, the baker :)

Like before, this December has been a really busy month. This December has almost been like a non-working month. But this December was a very fruitful month. This december, i'm a very happy girl:) This decemeber, i was in the champion tribe for the very first time after so many years. I wanted to win. But more importantly, i just didn't want the 'all boys' tribe to win. Sometimes, man (man as in the sex and not man in general) are just so full of themselves. The things i heard them say about tribes with girls leading, make me detest these people. And boy was i glad to clinche overall champion with blue coming second:) Pre camp. The boys worked hard. I merely played a fool. But i have some contribution! see my feet? Yes, that's me holding the door open so that they can worked! haha! We stayed till close to 3 in the morning. It was hard work. Kudos to ah boon! Brown tribe rocks! I worked hard, i clap hard till i go blue-black. It was a costly camp when i need so man...

TGIF and it's 11days to Christmas! Our good mood is reflected by the colour of our blouse:) Second tinge of christmas:) i'm off for my christmas holidays! nobody in our office is coming to work over the next long weekend anyway! i think boss also no need to come lah! haha! :)

This is what Sylvester Lim Keng Kiat posted on my friendster! No fear. BROWN IS THE NEW BLACK. IT HAS TO and IT GOT TO ONLY BE BROWN

No particular reason for this entry. Just that i've been counting down and i've been waiting for it to be 12 days to Christmas. No particular reason. Just so that i can have a post with that title....:)

I've been stressing both of our tribe leaders. On seperate occasions, when i frantically reminding them to do these and that and providing suggestions, they said: " you're so cute!" i think they are too stressed by me that they go bonkas le lah! haha! but that reminds me of a conversation with LB some time ago. Lyn: ......You are so cute! LB: I don't want to be cute! I want to be pretty! How sad. What are we feeding into these young minds? She is cute and she is pretty in her own special ways. Her reply sends a chill down my heart. I do hope she grew to love who she is , be secure and never have to wish that she is something else .

It's a raining morning again. But at least cold weather adds to the Christmas feel:) I'm gonna predict that it won't rain on 17-19 Dec. At least it won't rain at Bishan! haha! I need a jersey, 2 brown shirts, 3 berms and a pair of sneakers for camp. 17-20 is camp. i have an nail appointment on 21st. 22 is bash and i need a dress. I leave the office at 615pm. i will only reach town at 715 earliest on non raining days. the mall closes at 9. how am i gonna buy all the prezzies and clothes?! Ok. i'm rattling on and on so that you guys know how impossible a task it is to get everything done. So if you don't get your presents, you can forgive me right? On a much happier note, seems like christmas eve dinner is progressing. somewhere really nice if all goes well. keeping my fingers cross. i hope we can still get the place at this date. can't wait! :)

First tinge of Christmas in the office:) I thought about leaving it untouch to add a bit of festive feel to my desk. But i think i just cannot resist the temptation.

So i am back from Nong Khai! Nong Khai was freezing for the sunny-island girl me! Though it's also cold back home but it's nothing compare to Nong Khai. It was an awesome trip! One of my best! And i didn't came to blog because i am busying catching up with work but more so because so many great things happen that it is simply requires too much hand and brain power to try to articulate the many things that happens! WeiJian told me last year that " how can someone go for mission-trip and their lives not changed?!" That would probably sums up my thought for the trip:) I am really thankful to God that i went for the trip!:) And if i am too fast for you at Maxx Hotel, during cell group or service, i can repeat for you again! haha! It's great to be back home! I am glad all back home are well! It's great to be back to greetings of "you are finally back!" I don't know if 10days were long for you guys back home. For me, it felt short cause there are s...
