Post-Birthday!

Damian NgLeave a comment

9th October 1981 marks the day when I popped into this world! 25 years later, I am still popping into people’s life, which can be a good and a bad thing! Ha!

Yesterday, which was the day of my birthday, I had a great and joyous day. Many friends popped back into my life with wishes from SMS, Friendster and numerous other ways. I felt really blessed because I treasure all these relationships and I will never take any wishes from any of them lightly! Most of them, I have not really contacted for a year plus but they still managed to find a spot in their 5-6% of their brain matter to remember MY DAY! How grateful I am for that! 🙂

I just wanna thank everyone and anyone who wished or wanted to wish but did not have the chance to! I thank God for making things happen in my life, e.g. bringing my family closer together than before, protecting my relationship with Vivian, giving my good health… and many others.

I got a testimonial that I want to share to mark my 25th birthday. For those who know about my sickness, I wanna share a good news with you. I have not gone into my dissociative state for more than 2 years now! *Applause* I really thank God and I know that I cannot keep my sanity in check by my own strength. There were times when I thought I would have it again but by the grace of God, I got through it. I am really glad.

All these are not possible without the supports of my friends, family members, loved ones and many others who love me! My life and my world is made colourful with the existence of you people and I thank God for it. However, without the canvas of my life that God has gave me, all these colors would have made any sense. Therefore, I thank God for His unfailing love and grace.

Moving On to the Next Chapter…

After about a year plus of not going to school, I am finally going back to one! It will happen next Friday! Guess where? It will be at the Singapore’s fourth university, SIM University! The last time I attended school was when I was doing an Advance Certificate in Theology at City Harvest Bible Training Center. It was a short course spanning 1 year and I am happy to say that I really enjoyed and learnt a lot from that 1-year.

Now that I am going back to school again, I am really looking forward to the new people I am going to meet and a host of information, which I am going to acquire. I am taking a Degree course in Marketing. I am actually very excited about this course. I have always wanted to know more about marketing, the art of promoting and how one goes about bragging about itself. Some people say that marketing is like sales. I beg to differ. I have done a fair share of sales during my time in Prudential and I have to admit that selling was not that fun. Ha! Ironically, selling is the most essential part of a business. Closely following it is the company’s marketing department.

If a product is not properly packaged or promoted, selling, by itself, does possess much power. To me, doing sales is a challenge. However, I am more interested in the planning of how a product can be sold rather than the actual selling of the product. Thus, the interests in taking up a Degree course majoring in marketing.

Having revealed the first few sentences of the new chapter in my life, I ask for your prayers and guidance. Share with me your insights and advice, as I begin to tread on the road littered with valuable knowledge and information. I will be going down this road for 3 years and if at any moment you were inspired to share something with me, just email or contact me. I will gladly receive it with open arms and ears. For my brothers and sisters in church, continue to pray for me. Pray that I will have the strength and the capacity to make the most out of the course.

As I prepare to end this entry, I would like to thank you people for the interest and concern you have upon my life and for all the prayers and encouragement!
