| Getting to Know... |

i know that on some computers, my new blogskin looks really off. BUT it looks perfect on my lappie so yes, just live with it.

had a good long lunch with my boss for the first time today. even though i already know how well he can hold his liquor, i still can't help but exclaim at the fact that he drinks alcohol like nobody's business, especially during lunch-time where he still has the second half of the day to go!

maybe its their culture and its just ME having to get used to it. felt pretty honoured at how he was practically telling me his whole life story. he shared how things are really really really expensive in his hometown, and some of the things i should avoid if i were to visit his country and stuff. its interesting to learn. i do look forward going there some day. till then.

| New Beginning |

there had been many changes in my life in the past couple of months; especially from the time i ended my final exam till now. i guess the most significant change was the change in my career path. i finally said goodbye to the low-paying, over-loaded, and full-of-politics job after 3 years 10 months (another 2 more months and it would have been my 4th year there). all those complain sessions, OT and countless rants were good experiences that i would take with me.

convocation is finally gonna be here. i've waited nearly 2 months for it and i'm so excited just thinking about it! had originally planned to take the day off, however there are VIPs coming and my boss insists on introducing me to them.

seriously.

so i promised i'll stay till he introduces me to them and leave only an hour earlier. i didn't push my luck, after all, he's my new boss and i'm technically still on probation and not allowed to take any leave.

did i mention how good the Lord is to me for giving me this new job? my job-hunting days were very shortlived. i only went for one interview during my notice period. had been busy clearing up my work and going on leave, holidaying in macau and all you see. then on my last day of work at my ex-company, i received a phonecall which said i had been shortlisted and accepted at this new place. it was double-happiness for me!

i have to give this testimony because He's really working in my life, every single waking hour. naturally, i also had my fair share of sending out resumes and filling online application forms during my job-hunting days. so one day i msn-ed the big sista who happened to be online at that time, asking her to pray that i'd get one particular job. her reply was this:

"i won't pray that you'll get this job. instead, i'll pray that the Lord will provide you with a job."

her reply really woke me up. in that instance i remembered, not my will but His be done. so i lifted my job-hunting to the Lord and for once, really trusted Him without a doubt and there He worked in my life. just like that and i was blessed with this job. it may not be the best-paying job around, it may not give me the most perks like how some jobs are tagged along with, but its good because its a gift from my God. so this is something i just had to testify.

alright, time for bed.
