This weekend has been a really enjoyable one. I kicked off the weekend by having durian buffet @ Cafe Vic, Carlton Hotel with Rachel, Cherise, Jeanette, Sara and David on Friday night. The food was worth every bit of what we paid for. There was delicious braised crab soup, black pepper crabs, roasted lamb, steamed herbal chicken, grilled slipper lobster, grilled pork etc. And of course, the highlight were the durian dishes such as seared scallop with durian and mango, durian prata, durian chicken wrap, durian creme brulee, durian bobo chacha, durian pudding, durian fritters and best of all, freshly opened D24 durians... I could barely move after dinner, let alone sleep well. Was simply too stuffed! Plus had to down a can of beer to get rid of the heatiness.

With all that said and done, next year, I'll be looking forward to the next durian buffet that they would be having.

Saturday, I was at Vivo City having tea with Godma and an ex-college teacher. Pity I was never taught by him. The ex was there with his family and looking at his son, I am so convinced I am not cut out for motherhood at this point. Biological clock is definitely not ticking at all. Much as I like kids, I draw the line at carrying them for no more than 5 min. The only lucky babies to ever stay in my arms for 2 hours were Baby Chloe (Michelle's princess) and Baby Leanne (Jasmine's princess). Sadly, I seem to have no liking for male babies.

The strangest thing was the ex was not happy that I was joining for tea. He was worried that his wife would feel jealous. Whatever for? Me thinks that he has forgotten that I was the one who walked out of the whole relationship and has never looked back since. In fact, I would not be where I am today if I actually stayed n the relationship. Despite the many sacrifices that I had to make, there no regrets cos I am too much of a free spirit to be tied down. Anyway, Godma told him that if his wife had such feelings, it was probably because of him. Hooray for Godma! Lolz...

Tonight, I will be at Plaza Singapura with Godma and her family. We are going to celebrate Uncle Martin's birthday. It's teppanyaki at Sakae Sushi, my first time trying out the food there.

I better head down to gym later today... need to work out the calories after the weekend of feasting.

Godma finally penned down her experiences to encourage her students... Read about it in http://gatsr.blogspot.com/

Honestly, I am very proud of her. She is the strongest person I've known... not in physical strength but by sheer will... She even told me that cancer is not a disease of the body but of the mind. When cancer patients lose hope, that's when everything deteriorate...

She's God's living testimony that miracles can exist.

On a brighter note, one of my colleague, who was very depressed when she was unsure if she could get her transfer, is finally getting the transfer. I believe that miracles happen and if the transfer is truly in God's plan for me, He will give me the miracle and protection I need to see me through...

By the grace of God, the VP replied me and told me that the clerk will call me to arrange for a chat. Honestly, I'm very worried. Godma told me to keep my fingers crossed... it's a broad area i'm crossing so I may not get it and with competition from others applying, it might be tougher.

Anyway, my career thus far is made up of a lot of impossibilities... God has opened many doors for me to try out many things. No matter how tough they were and how many sacrifices I had to make, I have no regrets. I have been given opportunities to try out many new things.

I believe that if God has opened this window of opportunity for me, I believe that he will give me another miracle. Even if it does not work, I have no regrets cos at least I tried.

God will make a way

With faith as small as a mustard seed, God has answered my prayers and has made a way for me to apply for a transfer. Now, I'm believing for a miracle... that I will be called up for an interview, it will be successful, I will get a place and my P would actually be willing to let me go and not give me a hard time.
