SEASON 2 EPISODE 4: 1 week in Singapore

Greetings from warm, humid (and occasionally wet) Singapore. I want to thank God for a safe journey back home.

It has been a week since I arrived home and it will be another week before I return to London for the next leg of the LPC and final stage of my legal training. How time flies.

My first week here in Singapore has been packed with catching up with people. These range from friends to former bosses and colleagues. The first gathering was on Monday (approx. 24 hours after I returned to Singapore) with my polytechnic Choir friends for our annual Christmas gathering/gift exchange.

It took me a great deal of time to adjust to Singapore's time and especially weather. But, I am slowly getting used to being here - though I will have to adjust (again) when I fly off in 1 week's time, sigh!

But, I do miss London and would actually love to be back there amidst the cold weather and soaking in the life there. I have thoroughly enjoyed the first 3 months away in a foreign country and I thank the Lord for His faithfulness and mercy during those times. He has proven Himself to be faithful and providing me "angels" to direct me, guide me and protect me. All thanks be to God!

I also thank the Lord for providing wonderful classmates. These are the people I come to contact each day in school and they never cease to make me look forward to school! Many thanks to all, especially Sachie, Abdul, Anita and Sumiera... To round off the term, we had a great time at the Green Man after our Solicitors' Accounts on 13rd December. The photos of that event (and more) can be found in http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=76809&l=f16f7&id=796305385

In the week ahead, I will be inter alia meeting more friends, giving away presents I bought from London, submitting an application for a training contract and getting some revision done before I fly off just before midnight on 31st December 2007.

I want to wish all who read this blog entry A BLESSED CHRISTMAS 2007 AND A PEACEFUL 2008!

TO GOD BE THE GLORY!

SEASON 2 EPISODE 3: At this time next week...

At this time next week, I will be at Heathrow Airport Terminal 4 waiting to check in for my 12.5 hr flight back to Singapore. Just can't wait.

But, in the counting down to that day, there are many things to give thanks for, pray for and plan for. This ranges from giving thanks for my service in Christian ministry at All Souls and LCF to planning for my training contract hunt. This is all in addition to school work. Indeed, there's alot on my plate!

This week has been eventful as I sat through 2 enlightening careers talk on interviews and training contracts on Tuesday and Wednesday, lead a Bible study [which sounded more like a sermon] on Exodus 11-13 at All Souls' SWOT session on Wednesday night and received further advice on potential employers from my lecturers.

I also give thanks to the Lord for enabling me to make the grade for a legal research assessment.

I pray that I will be able to end the coming week on a good note as I take my Solicitors' Accounts examination on Thursday morning.

More in the week to come!
