Bye Remittance, Hi CBA

KJ asked me this morning whether I know about the IPB finishing, I said I do, Fudge told me, she said that she would find something for me. It is quite unexpected, almost shocking that she asked me to move to CBA at 9am. I wasn’t really expecting it. It’s a mixed feeling and it hasn’t sunked it yet, a bit sad for an abrupt end for my “santai” department, would miss capsiaw and life sharing with the people there, a bit relief that at least for few weeks I don’t have to worry about finding a job, especially with I am leaving to Indo in 2 months time.
I wished I am moved when the IPB project finishes not before. On the other side, kuda is no longer resigning.. What a confusing kid, and I bought her a cake. Ironically it was now my goodbye cake not hers. It’ll be a quite boring 2 months in CBA, full on data entry, the good thing is, it starts at 7.30, so get to sleep in more yay!

What’s next?

I am contemplating on what should be my next job.. Ideally it would be an IT related position, but finance industry is also interesting and exciting, alternatively I can go down the path of administration. I was offered a position (3 months role) in HPA as an admin doing some accounts, calling cust etc, I sort of rejected it because i need to go back on October.. Maybe Yovita will get it.
Hm hm.. looking forward to 1-2 weeks thinking and reflecting on what i want to do with my life (earning money-wise).. Should I concentrate on setting up my own business?

Is this really the end?

Two workmates told me today that HPA’s contract with both IPB and Lion Nathan will be terminated as soon as next week (the earliest), not sure whether they are pulling pranks on me, but she seemed quite serious about it.
Is this the end? Maybe it is, I feel relieved strangely. I now can move on, although there are uncertainties associated with this. The timing could’ve been better tho, as in 2 months time I need to go back to Indo anyway, it’ll be good, if the project ends in 2 months time. Oh well.. an abrupt finish, it was a blessing to be able to work with friends here.

The Irrationality of Christianity

As I was sick yesterday, I listened to the debate between Archie Polous and Peter Slezak on the subject of “Christianity – is the best fit for the world”. Peter made a comment on x-ans justice being irrational using the example of “if Hitler, who killed millions lives repented before he died, he gets to go to Heaven, and if he (Slezak) and Betrand Russell, who are sceptics about God, died and don’t repent, they would go to hell”. He asked why must he be punished eternally for the sin of scepticsm which is nothing compared to the sin of murdering million lives.
I agree with him that God of the bible is irrational according to human’s rational. God could’ve made human that are incapable of si
ing thus eliminate the neccesity of sending His Son to die to atone for our sins. God could’ve not created Satan in the first place then there’s no one to tempt human. God could’ve used “the scale” justice system, if you do more good work compared to the sin, you could go into heaven.
But at the end of the day, it’s God who chose to reveal himself that way, it’s Him who chose to work in that system. It is Him who chose to sacrifice his own Son for creatures He made, it is very irriational I’d say. Whether we like it or not, our opinion/rational doesn’t really matter, does it? It is not the pot’s place to talk back to the potter.
How can then people who hold high regard to rationality like Mr. Slezak, be saved? Only God can.

Too much exercise

Ok, so it’s not really a good idea to have intense training four days in a row. I am sick now. Friday, I had a gym session, Saturday, was the most tiring of them all, as I played ultimate frisbee and soccer, Sunday soccer as usual, and yesterday another gym session (wasn’t pla
ing to go, but victor c asked me to go with him, turned out that he couldn’t make it himself Doh!).
My weight is ranging between 89.70 to 90.40kgs now, hm how many months I have been exercising and dieting? I think I’ll stop going to gym on October before I go back to Indo and save that $55 for something else. I hope I can reached 86 kgs by then.
