We have to raise $10,000 for the Cambodia trip... $5000 from the sale of T-shirts and $2,500 each from SCS (Student Care Services) and EDB.
First off, for the T-shirt sales, I have to sell 47 of them... so far have abt 10+ T-shirts left... my dear youths and friends, if u r reading this blog and have yet to buy a T-shirt, get ready ur ang pow money!! =)
For EDB's portion of $2,500. we are baking 4000 cookies to be sold in packs of 10, selling stuff at EDB's Charity Bazaar on Feb 10th. Nestle sponsored 1,100 bars of chocolates for us to sell, Crocs shoes gave us shoes to sell, and other misl stuff... But the highlight of the event on the 10th, is what I term... "Crooning for Charity". 3 of EDB's resident singing sensations will auction off 2 songs each... must get a few of my colleagues to win a song as a V-day present to our Dir!!
Hence, must automatically offer to buy the cookies and chocolates ok? haha... do you fell saboed for reading my blog.... hahaha....
In any case, if u do not yet know, I am scheduled for secondment to KPMG. Many things to give thanks for this to happen. First off, the entire interview process was smooth and there was favor. Second, my bosses allowed me to clear leave... the way I intended... Mar 11-18 to Cambodia and after wards to take 2 weeks of leave before starting work on 3rd Apr.... I was so planning to go for my US trip during those 2 weeks... or so I thought.
The bummer thing was... tickets to the US shoot up a few hundred after Mar 12 coz of change of season. n I just didn't have much peace when I prayed to go to the US... so I told the Lord... God then show me where I should go to spend the 2 weeks... but no response... so wait lar.... then just last Friday I found out why... organizationally, EDB needed me to start work before the end of the FY, which in EDB's case is 31 Mar... Hence my leave needed to be cut short and I will start work on Mar 27 (I guess I could negotiate for a few more days after if I really wanted to... will pray abt that...) ISN'T THE LORD GOOD??!! so am very grateful that I wasn't allowed to go ahead and book my tickets.... so how now brown cow?? will be extending my stay in Cambodia to visit Ang Kor Wat (am so sure the spelling is wrong) so at least I can say I've been there. then resting for the next few days before I start work at my new job. It'll be a 1+1, meaning all parties will review at the end of 1 year to see if we'll extend.
More on my new job in my next post... today... is the day of baking and packing of 4000 cookies... and in a real bakery too!! colleague's relative who owns a bakery was so kind to let us use his bakery after they are done with baking today and tomorrow... will find out if I can be a real baker yet.
