Blessed and Happy Birthday to Ewilly.

CNY celebration and holiday break

This has probably got to be the best Chinese New Year of my life for the last 24 years. For the first time my relatives from Australia, Hong Kong and Macau came back to have a full family reunion to celebrate the festive season together in full classic CNY spirit. CNY never felt better.

One of the highlights of the month which makes it even more joyful is that God blessed me a new job. I'd never expect to be able to get a job within a month, especially this position as i wasn't really as qualified as i should be. Anyway i really thank God for it, and i will definately work in humility and gratitude. It also marks the end of my first year working and i was gladly taking a break before i resume my next job. Thank You Lord.

One of the funny things that I can remember is I was ruthlessly compared to my much more muscular and well-built Australian cousin. I was constantly being thrown questions such as whether I was living in poverty in KL or whether I was skipping my meals for obvious reasons or another, which clearly wasn't the case, and it can get pretty annoying. But I can't deny the fact that I clearly looked like a chopstick standing next to him. What the heck...

Surely all good things must come to an end, and CNY went past as quickly as it came, and it was just a week away from starting my first day working in my new company. This has been a great new year, and probably one of the best I ever had.

ps. miss you guys at Damansara Church

Special thanks

I want to take this chance to thank everyone who has ever kept me in their prayers. I know that it is by the grace of God that He has allowed you to pray for me, and it does matter a lot to me. Once again, thank you and thank you. God bless you.

peace

End of my first year working

Was certainly busy packing up my stuff and getting my appropriate documents done. Yup, i've completed my 1st year contract as a help desk in IBM.

How's my first official full-time job? Well it's simple but it ain't easy. I wouldn't say that it has been quite a challenge and it did change and broaden my views on living a working lifestyle. There were the good and bad moments just like everything else.

Being in Nokia was a total hell. Took me 4 months to get to understand how the whole system and procedures work. Everyday was a challenge for me to go to work, mentally and physically. Colleagues ain't helping much to ease the pain. Took a real strain on me in my spiritual walk as well especially during my 2 months working in shift. Really thank GOD for His divine grace and forgiveness to sustain and keep me back on track with my faith.

Sad but surely a blessing in disguise came after half a year when i was transfered to another project known as the National Health Group project. Inside my head was like "You must have screwed something up or you ain't good enough that's why you got kicked off from the coolest project in IBM. You're a loser." Deep down inside i knew that wasn't the case, but it really did took a while to shake that stupid thought off. Well thank God it did went off and i learn to accept the situation as it is and concentrate on what i need to do. Honestly working in NHG was much, much easier and straight forward compared to Nokia and i got to work with a team of a bunch of cool people who never fail to brighten me up everyday and ease the pressure off my back. I know it sounds wierd but working in NHG really feels like a working holiday.

I will never forget my farewell dinner with my colleagues. Thank you guys. You guys are the greatest. I'll be coming back soon and will not miss the "yee sang" session. Gonna miss you guys alot.

Well all things come to an end. Slowly but surely my contract has ended and due to some circumstances i've decided that i should move on to look for another job. I know exactly what i want in my mind, now all i can do is do what i can and may God open a path for me. I'm praying.

peace
