Moses: "you must talk like a CREAM, walk like a CREAM... BE the Cream!"

...that was what TP's student head (forgot his impressive title) said to my batch of newly recruited PACESETTERS. We were basically ambassadors of the school. It's said to be tough to get in cos they look at your grades and you gotta go for interviews, assessments and what nots. Honestly.. i feel if your grades are pretty okay, you look pleasant enough and they like your personality, you're more or less in.

Interestingly, during one of the activity assessment whereby we form groups and they access how we work together as a team and individual, there was this guy. He speaks well (with a accent, dunno fake or not), very pleasant and nice, appeared dynamic, confident and sharp.. but also bossy with a take-charge attitude. He was like.."They want to see if we are cooperating well so let's do this... do that.. etc" We all thought he was a sure-in.. cos he was like leader quality. But he didnt. He was a reject straight away. The seniors later said he was too sly and cunning and wouldnt fit in. And in my opinion, too slick. When he got the news, turned out he was also a very sore loser. i miss school....

Okay i dont know why i'm talking about this.. hahaha. Must be that Cream thingy. If you havent gotten it, it's 'Cream of the Crop'. I always tot how funny it was when i first heard it.. the walking and talking part. And i was teasing Zack about it last night :P - i'll come to that later.. he got 2 good news! *beams*

Met up with Evelyn last night after work!
i really miss my ex-colleagues... lunched with Theresa and Sam last friday.
we did plenty of catching up and spent all our time yakking away at Pepper Lunch (and my hair stinks!) instead of shopping as planned. She was also lugging her pump (breastfeeding) so it was pretty hard to move around. She proudly showed off pictures of Kaellen.. oh he is such a sweetheart! It's so sweet how she literally glows whenever she talks about him :) I think she makes an excellent mother! As i was gushing over him, as usual, she asked me when is my turn.. hahaha. Not anytime soon.. i got a new job lah.. heh. Come to think of it, Evelyn and i had never yakked so much cos our lunch chats were never enough.

oh... before our dinner, we popped by Pacific Plaza. And i got a new bikini! After a month of contemplating, i finally bite the bullet and bought it! It's pretty pricey from Rip Curl but its so my color!


....i cant resist that coral pink with gold rings and design

As i was too engrossed during dinner, i missed Zack's msgs and miss a chance of a ride home! *pout*

19.21pm:
".....call me when you're about done. I might pick you up cuz i got gd news. Muaks!"

21.34pm:
"i'm going for a jog now. Not bringing my hp."

i only saw it when we were done at 10pm and Zack just came back from his run :( *sigh* And i'm not getting him to pick me up after his run.. i'm not so spoilt alright. Anyway, i was more intrigued with his "good news" than my missed ride. He refused to clue me in and kept me in suspense. I oredi knew one from earlier in the day so what's the other one?!!

Z: "What did i do last wed? Where did i go in the afternoon after lecturing in the morning?"
J: "Wat?!! You went somewhere without telling me?!!!"
Z: "You know!"
J: "I do? what? i cant remember.. Just tell me! I dont wanna guess!"
Z: "You even wished me good luck..."
J: "Oh... OMG!!! YOU GOT IN!!!!" *squeals and jumps in joy*


Good News No. 1:
Zack got selected for Level 4 training!! Out of everyone, only 24 got shortlisted to take the entry test. The test was incredibly tough! And out of that 24, only 10 will be selected to undergo the training. Whoa... that makes him the CREAM OF THE CROP! *beams*

Good News No. 2:
Zack is up for promotion next year!!! It's "the one with the gold buttons"! *beams*


In everything we have... we PRAISE THE LORD!
God is good.. all the time... And all the time.. God is good!
