today's story

konbanwa~ today i am down with flu :( anyway it's sick season recently, and i happen to follow the trend :p

today i saw my friend put an outstanding nic name at his msn:

"i miss out so much time that i can spend with you. but i know for the rest of our lifetime we will be spending them together"

well~ that's nice :) and on the other side make me think, if there's a guy saying that to me today, will i be flying high with happiness and love-shaped balloons or... will i get a cold feet and freaked out?

ah~that must be depends on who said it at what situation and how serious it is.

btw, i just finished watching 'absolute boyfriend' it's a nice drama :) and i like the ending. recommended for every j-dorama lover (the actors are handsome!!)

^^

last friday i get sHOCk attack. i was so surprise, and couldn't belief what i saw that i had refreshed my page few times and still see the same thing.

it was so unexpected. {of course, that's why it's so shocking} unbelievable. {ermm, really hard to accept at 1st} i thought it's something that will happen only by notification. {which is suppose to make you less shocked} nothing big actually, just feel so shocked ^^;

anyway, there's this girl- whom everybody addressed as-nice and friendly girl. and she is one of my best friend's best friend. so sometimes i get to update news bout her.

i had this thought before, that we could be good friends too if given under different circumtances, rather than just a-hi-friend. {erm, bcoz somehow i think you can be good friend with somebody is because the similarity in characters and interest. so human we tend to group ourself with those that 'smells' or 'feels' similar to your preference} i think it will be great if i can get to be friend with her.

last fri i was reading a blog. This girl left few comments there, and because it was interesting so i add on some too. and because curious so i click on her profile and found her blog.


and i saw on her only link: Peggy's blog


sure the only things pop up to my mine: i wonder who is she. so i clicked it. oh. perhaps now we can be more than hi-friend :) well, that'll be nice.

Karma's proof


i had a fantastic chat with jackline. fantastic as in for the time span. i overnight at her place, and we talk almost non-stop from 9 night till....6 in the morning ^^


{i had never imagine i will do this. i still remember once my dear friend Indri told me that she stayed overnight at Winnie place and they chat till 5 in the morning. that time i was wondering what are in the world they can talk about until 5 in the morning! and it's not like they seldom meet each other you know.}


{these all was taken at 5am when we decided to sleep n off the light and then the conversation somehow didn't stop until the window brighter and brighter}

from all our conversation, the most memorable and most meaningful and powerful is this:

we were talking about karma, God's existance and guide, and similar stuffs. then she suddenly share with me about what happened before their high school prom night.

she is the only one who are taking care of the event (to my surprise) and go to deal with the people from the hotel management. in such a rush and short time preparation (5-6 days), the hotel manager told her that to include the band performing they need to pay extra because it's a last minute call. because she was the only one dealing with this, she is also the only one know how much is their budget. and that extra money was extra 2-3 million! and she said -yes- she agree to pay.

and of course she back to home keeping this quiet. and cracking her head for idea to get this extra money. and while she was walking down the street she saw a small kid begging for money. at 1st she was thinking want to give but feel lazy to take out her wallet. so she keep walking.

she told me, after walking for quite a far distant, she turned back.

she said she can heard a very clear sound telling her to give something to the kid. and she gave 5000 out, and all left in her wallet was just enough to get her back to home. and she thought 'how blur i am.' yah, coz normally you will just give 500 or 1000 for begger.

few days had passed and she still cant get idea how to cover the cost, and was ready to ask for more money from her fellow friends when she received a call from that hotel manager.

he told her that the band said they decided not to give extra charge. and now they have far than enough money to run the event, even much more leftover!

i was like "WOW, really praise the Lord!" and she said, "yah! i keep thinking of ideas and pray for God to show a solution but never imagine that the solution will be something like this!"

and suddenly i wonder, "then why are you including the part you give money to the begger?" because it just seems unconnected. for those who dont belief in karma. i was happy to find out that she is one of some people that at her age belief in karma. and actually being touched by its power in such a big way.

she somehow belief it's connected. you just cant explain this kind of thing, but i do belief in it too.

it's powerful isn't it? and shame on me, i had forgotten about -giving- lately.

i belief that God, in such a rare chance (for me who are so not stable at the moment -to stay overnight at her condo- which is double- coz now the other bed is empty) had allowed me to meet her and share ideas with her that night wanted to remind me about this most out of other stuffs.

Thanks God, i hope that i could have another chat-till-morning again with her soon! and with enca too (then it must be a super duper extra long chat) and i want to have it with other girlfriends too :) a kai and kilikulu.

S-pass

wohaa~ it's 1st July 2008. the day i officially starting work at ORB associates.

i think i want to share about how i get my S-pass (coz it's such a long journey)
okay, for my qualification as diploma holder, the working pass i can have is either s-pass or e-pass. each of them had their requirement, you can check it at MOM -ministry of manpower, Singapore.

and so for me, I'm only qualified for S-pass. so boss go online and submit the application for me. after 7 working days the status from pending become approved. (you can check your status online with the application number you have)

when it's approved, MOM will send a stack of paper which is called IPA (in principle approval letter) which will state down all your rights and bla bla and of course what you will need to do to proceed the 'next stage'

nah. that letter will tell you that you will need to do medical check up (and they attached the medical check up form. bring that along to the clinic and tell them you want to get a medical check up for S-pass) it cost SGD 42 at SATA clinic. the check up are scan for heart and blo0d test to check for HIV. you will get the result the next day or in 2 days.

also it have few pages need to be signed and get stamped from boss and office. and you will need to sign too. and provide 1 pasport size-photo.

and! starting Jan 2008 it require employer to buy a medical insurance which coverage is min. SGD 5000.

after having everything in hand, go to MOM at Clarke Quay and submit it. (of course, after surviving the long queue...go earlier lo.. it open from 8-4) at there you will pay the pass which cost SGD30 one year (please refer back to MOM web and check the price)

there after payment they will give you a letter telling you instructions. it's that you have to go to work pass devision at Tanjong Pagar Complex to give your photo and thumb print within 7 days from then day you make the submission and payment. again, go earlier please!!! 9 something will do. (if you dont want to feel fainted like me when i arrived around 10.) eventhough at the letter write you will need 2 pasport size photos,they actually just take it to scan it in and return it to you.

then you will need wait 4 working days then only the card will be out. you can collect it after 4 days, but they told me it only have 7 days allowance. so after 4 days back to Tanjong pagar and collect it. just bring the letter where they stamped the collection date. and that's all! you dont need to check in-out from singapore. and next time when you out and in again just present the card together with your pasport and they will just scan the card. (no more stamp in the pasport)

and all cost are to be paid by employer. it is stated at the IPA letter. total cost for my 1 year S-pass is 10 (online application fees) + 42 (medical check up fees) + 30 (the fees for 1 year s-pass).

i hope this will be helpful :) for i had shorten it, into a really short story. geez. my own experience was 3-4 times longer. because of my blur-ness and also other things. anyway i am happy i got the card with me now! thanks God!
