numbies in the lion city

This post is due for a long time. And each time I felt ready for this, I always get caught up with errands for me to run or perhaps on the contrary, I was just being too lazy. I have no idea how is life here in lion city, I feel so numb. All I know is that, I have been busy? And at times, busy with who-knows-what. I am still doing job-hunting and yes, I am pretty anxious about this because it’s already mid-march. Praying for a good job, with good environment and people and of course it has to be the place God wants me to be. Have been attending CHC regularly, and found myself a cell group (all thanks to John). Meeting different people in my so called kiasu country is really a challenge for me, you would expect different reactions towards certain issues and how they carry the issues across. Thank God, Christine is here with me and though at times, we question ourselves how weird it is, however we have to keep in mind that this is not Melbourne after all.

Just 2 days ago, I went for an interview at UOB for a banker position and because it was a group discussion informal interview, we conversed among the 8 candidates and 3 interviewers. One of the questions is, “what motivates you?” And 7 out of 8 candidates answered “money”. I was speechless but yeah, for the world, money means everything to them. This is the world and we can certainly choose if we want to be transformed by the world or not; to have all the wealth and not the soul. Well, this is definitely not what I desire.
