the one in darkness

So my one week of bumming around is coming to an end.... unfortunately I didnt get to go back to the Lion City as I managed to change the start date of my new job. But it's all good.

This week things didnt quite turn out how I expected it to. I've had disappointments after disappointments and now I dont even know what is happening. The expected and hopes became let downs. It's all so confusing and upsetting, and I dont know if I have done any wrong.

I dont like it that I'm feeling this way, I know that I shouldnt but I just cant help it. I wish I had a pensieve from Harry Potter, so that I can take out my current thoughts and put them aside and never think or remember them ever again.

the one that gets to bum around

Well, I handed in my resignation letter this morning and I don't think my boss took it too well. I was kind of nervous as well and was stupidly giggling to which she thought that I wasn't being serious. And for some bizarre reason, I kept on giggling... that's just so dumb. Anyway, I was told to leave if I want to, so me being me, I left at lunch time. So very unexpectedly, I have been thrown into a 1 to 2 week holiday :) Short term plans have been made but one can only keep my fingers crossed for it to come to fruition.

Now I have to find out when do I start at my new job. I think that's the beauty of working in Aust, as compared to the Lion City, if you give a notice, you may or may not be expected to serve out your notice period and the new employers are pretty flexible. If I have to start on the date as stipulated on my offer, then Lion City here I come for a week... a week of pigging out with friends, having dinosaurs, shopping for my shoes, and spending time with the family who I haven't seen in a year. So stay tuned....

the one who is thankful

I've had a very interesting 2 weeks.... I got fed up with the new work structure within my team and so made a few contacts and phone calls and hey presto, I have been offered a new job this week.

However, I believe that it is only with God's grace that I have been given this new opportunity. Sure I've questioned why did I have such a short stint in my present company (the circumstances leading up to me joining this present company was also very miraculous), but God knows of my current frustrations. It could be that he pulled me out for this short stint to give my body a rest from being overworked in the previous firm and now that I have rested and am feeling refreshed to be 'on the go' again, he has provided me with this new opportunity.

I thank God that he has once again answered my prayers and I continue to pray that with this new company, I will be able to provide me with the challenges and the opportunities that is needed to further my career.

For all my other unanswered prayers, I know that one day they will be answered - it may or may not be the way that I would like it to be, or if I will be able to understand it, but it is He who holds my hand and makes all things beautiful in His time. (Eccl 3:11)

the one who got a postcard

Here's a postcard I got from the travelling folks in the Arctic Circle. Isnt it cute? They were so kind to visit Santa and told him what a Good Girl I have been and to give him my wish list :)
