One Month in Dunedin. 1st Post in NZ!

Hello family and friends! Finally a post after a month. Forgive me, i just feel so lazy to blog! I have posted up lotsa photos in Facebook. Haha, so those of you who dont have Facebook.....Forgive me, its really hard to upload picture into this blog, or I'm just so bad at it. Nways straight to point, let me tell you bout the culture shock I've experienced so far. Some I got used to it, some I'll never wanna get used to!

1) Its all about sex sex and more sex.. Prostitution, its legal and this is not Amsterdam.

Let the picture do the talking. This is a cutting from a local newspaper. Its shocking but the my European and Canadian flatties was even more shock when they saw my reaction. According to a 'reliable source', most guys here loose their virginity at 15-17, and by 20, they should have done it 5-10 times to be considered normal.

2) Booz, everyday is a HaPpY day.

Captain "Dou Bro". Created after a consuming box of Double Brown

I don't remember what happened here..... But someone is below the brown cushion.

Friday and Saturday night is when people drink 20-30 cans of beer a night, after they're 'plastened', thats when they don't remember the things they do and sleep with the wrong person. Don't worry mommy and daddy, I have yet to walk into a club :) Will keep it that way.

3) Its all green...

Tip of an iceberg of sheep and cows.

To those who love big cities, this is all u get here. Its sad.

I warmed up with the grass. Haha, its not all germs. Its fun, gotta scrape off the fear of Malaysian grass to enjoy this really.

Got so used to green that my iPod is green too =) Sexy green.

4) MY COOKING, oh yeah, thats a culture shock too..

This, plus...

...this...

...then this...

...becomes this..Look so much better when my mom made it.

That was my 1st dinner i cooked here. Either my taste for food dropped to help my self esteem or my cooking just taste good :) Getting better everyday. But I really miss Malaysian food. The food just taste like crap.. and much crappier pricing. I miss mamak, bak kut teh, nasi lemak, laksa........ But dessert's the best, they have bomb cookies, cakes, ice creams, frozen yogurt, fruits and butter!

5) Only 'yellow' in class.

It was quite awkward initially, but I've gotten used to it and made more white friends then asians now. Unlike the medicine school (more than 50% are asians) politics and psychology consist mostly white students. But whats the point coming overseas and stick with the same bunch of Asians friends? There are plenty of 'white washed' Asians too.

In my 1st few weeks here, I met a few xenophobic drunkards. They'll stop the car just to curse at me, or speed up when I cross the road and the worse is throwing empty beer bottles at me. Haha, of course both bottles missed. Thank God for that. But apart from the few people, the people here are very very nice and polite. Unlike Malaysian drivers. Including me of course. hehe.

Church is good, found a place called "Grace Bible Church", emphasize alot on Word of God which is really good. But I miss the vibrantness of DUMC, only Dr Daniel Ho manage to balance Word and Gung-Ho-ness and hence DUMC :) Will be starting my men's prayer group soon. In this land, you wont last long if you don't hold yourself accountable with other man of God. Temptations and distraction everywhere.

Nways I'll be going for a trip tomorrow =) More pretty photos coming up in Facebook i expect. To my family, I miss you all loads. Not fun la no kakak at home and walking ATM everywhere I go. Haha, and I miss mom's nagging, dad's long lecture, Bryan's randomness, Jordan's fat pinchable face and kakak's niceness at home. 

...and church members, Dr Daniel's preaching, Pastor Chris M's prayer group. and everyone I know i DUMC.

...friends in Malaysia, there's no other better friends than you guys, I now know what "you'll only appreciate things when they're no longer there" means. But I have Skype =) Get Skype and we can talk!! 

Till then PRAY for me :p Won't forget you all in my prayers.

Hot n Cold...

...your in an your out, your up and your down, your wrong when its right, its black and its white.... I can go on..Haha, my fav song.

Obey when God speaks, Trust His character when He's silent.

Nways, people wonder where the heck I've been. I'll tell ya'll now, and I'll keep this short. I've finally gotten my offer letter from University of Otago and Sheffield early December after one heck of a long wait. Looking at the currency exchange and how much I can rob from my dad, Otago is the one, THE one. Simple eh? Pack your bags, pay the fees, agent settle your visa, farewell parties, get on the plane then leave?? I wish.

Before I could do all that, I've gotta do a medical check up. Its simple, u do urine test, blood test and chest x ray, and if ur never smoked like chimney and drink alcohol like water for 50 years, you dont have to sweat at all! Mickey mouse check up.

Walked in like a hero, 1st time doing a checkup, and I went alone. Horror of horrors.....

I failed my urine test, there's trace of blood and protein in my pee. Doc said my kidneys are failing. My liver function test failed, so doc said my liver is shutting down too, AND, my platelet count is low too. I failed all the test that I did. Bravo. If its HELP exam, i can study harder, driving test , I can practice... Blood test? I do nuts but pray, and wait and pray.

Btw, 2 weeks later after drawing blood out of my body for 4 times, that would be 16 pine of my blood?? I dunno, doc finally found out that my liver function test went back to normal, urine abit abnormal and platelet count still low. I ask him why, he answered : "What is wrong with you?". With the dumbest ever looking face I've ever seen. So even my earthly savior don't know whats wrong with me. 1st I'm dying next I'm alive but abnormal. Common, what is this? Dr. House the real game?

Aite, maybe this blog aint that short after all. So after another week of blood drawing and waiting for result (total 3 weeks), All test went back to normal except my blood, platelet. You wanna know whats the best part? I drank one bottle of chlorophyll, in tequila cups, neat shots 5 times a day, I drank bloody red slimy juice (Bit root+tomato+celery+lady's finger), and I drank 4 shots of PAPAYA leaf juice, NEAT. It tasted like crap. You don't wanna know the taste. ps: Girls, dont mind kissing me after all this??;) Okok, after drinking all that stuff, my platelet suppose to go up but it went down!

Sigh, so finally doc gave up on me. How anal you have to be for a doc to give up on you?? He wrote in my visa report that I'm abnormal and need to do bone marrow test in NZ to declare me fit. I asked him why I cant do here in Malaysia? He said "I dunno, get out, times up, next patient is waiting". By the way, I found out that he screw up my urine test earlier when I when for 2nd opinion test to declare nth wrong with my pee. Well, he being himself insist he's right and scolded me for consulting 2nd opinion. AHA! I smell sth fishy there. Why so scared when he's right? AND he told me "not to be scared and cause I might have ITP but don't look up the internet in case you freak out, its bad but its alright"... HUH? Smart dumb doc , visit him if you wanna feel alive. Don't if you've got brains.

Now the 4th week. I'm in SJMC. lining up with bunch on old ppl, to see the hematologist, blood specialist to find out what's wrong with me. There.. hmm....people with dialysis, people sleeping in the bed, on the wheelchair...All over 60. Im the only youngster there..*made me more depressed*... Long story short I did another blood test that cost me 20 times more expensive than in clinic. Oh yes,, 20 freaking times. No lie. Just to find out its not sufficient enough to find out whats wrong...and...

BONE MARROW ASPIRATION :)

Just a day ago the specialist said 'I shud be fine, no need bone marrow check'.. Now casually escort me down for bone marrow. I was freaked to death. From what is watch in Grey's and House, its gonna hurt. But I was wrong.. Sedation knocks me out, I was holding hands with a nurse and the procedure begins. He drilled a 15, 20 inch???? Needle up my spine and God knows what next. I woke up in the middle of procedure when doc had a lil complication. I can feel needles tickling my back bone near my butt, scolded the doc (I dunno why) and went back to sleep. The process was painless but the recovery rocks. I can even flex my butt and walked properly for days. So we had a penguin back home. Nways, result came out i have ITP. Don't ask me what it stands for...complicated. Fyi, normal person platelet count 150-400. My dad off the chart 400+, my friend 200-300, denggi patient >50. Mine, 87......

It meant NO REASON FOR PLATELET TO DROP, UNKNOWN WHEN IT HAPPENED, NOT SURE WHETHER IT'LL GO. Cool huh? Hot cold, in out, up down...Common, make up ur mind? Im grateful I'm alright. Its a test of faith. I prayed like crazy, my family too. Though I miss out Xmas and New Year, its worth it. So many people in church prayed for me. Even those I do not know. Even leaders who are so busy took their time and show concerned.

I'm touched. My family became closer. Now I know what Jesus means when He says He's our Rock. You can tell me you don't God. Wait till you struck with sth concerning your health. I'll see how you react. I was helpless but to wait and trust in God. He delivered me. All things happen to for our good. How is that? Now that I have this condition, I'm considered abnormal and my visa will be delayed, so I'll be leaving later than I expect. Thats more quality time with family! Haha, this incident had brought my family so much closer. And as bonus, I'm not going to NZ alone. Hehe, I've got a friend going there too! Ain't it cool? Just when I thought everything was not going my way.

High on sedation after the procedure.

Finally not so stone? Sedation is just cool!

The verdict, I cant play rough sports anymore, no bungee jumping to avoid bleeding, and blood test every 3 months. At least I'm not dying:) Praise God. He's THE man. thanks to all those who stick by and prayed for me in this tough tough month. Thanks to my family. Haha, where I accidentally spent a few thousand more just for this check up. I'm sure they don't mind ;P Its 3am. I cant sleep. Very excited that I'm flying off soon.

2 Days Ago...

"Enoch walked with God" Genesis 5:24

Estelle's "American Boy" suddenly burst and broke the silence. Dang, it's not a pleasant sound. It's 6. Felt like I've only slept for 15mins though I slept for 5 hours. And suddenly, the radio announced that HELP's KPD offices was burnt down and student no longer have to go coll. Oh yes, I went back to sleep immediately..

Estelle's "American Boy" suddenly burst and broke the silence. Dang, it's not a pleasant sound. It's 6. Felt like I've only slept for 15mins though I slept for 5 hours. Argh.. This time for real I'm awake. It was a dream. Reluctantly I forced myself up and put on the contact lenses, my motor coordination is so bad that I placed the contacts on my nose and dropped on the floor. Had to sniff around like a puppy for it.. Wish HELP was really burnt.

"Honk, Hooonk".. The sound of Malaysian drivers. Kancil tailed me close enough to for me to do an emergency brake and come come insurance money. I drove 60km/hour, IN SLOW LANE but being Malaysian, lanes don't mean a thing. Just lines drawn on floor to assist you to take off like a Boeing 747, though your driving a Kancil. MALAYSIA BOLEH. I paid RM1.60 for the highway. I'm sustaining my speed, and is my right to do so.

Meeting with one of the office staff didn't turn out the way I like it. Its frustrating. Very frustrating. "Ding!" the lift door opened, but a sea of monkeys who did not even queue just shoved everyone that had queued and into the lift they go, with a smirk!

RELAX Daryl.

Walked 7 floors down. Wished I have 2 heart, one to be used when the other is struggling for O2. Looked for my friends, my appetite for lunch dissapeared after the meeting. Walked down but couldn't find my friends. GRR...

RELAX Daryl.

Located friends in library, the day was as hot as Jessica Alba. I suspect that parts of my body melted while I walked under the sun. RECALL: "Tiredness + Frustration + Heat + Melted Brain =____" *Hint*The answer is always NEGATIVE*

Thank God for ever smiley Susu and crazy Jennifer. Brought some smile back to the ugly face of mine. But at the corner of my eyes, I see something uglier. Not the 666 beast, its something far worst. You see over the years, HELP library is very well known, NOT for the books, NOR computer services, BUT that of the librarians.

When the time is right, these librarians will roam around like hungry wolves, hunting for preys. They sniff around so close to you then they'll growl, till you shut up and stop talking to your friends. But MALAYSIA BOLEH, we keep on talking anyways. Then they launch their 2nd assault. This time they have GPS and facial recognition of people who make most noice. As usual, sniff sniff look look. GROWL. Yes, we shut up. But MALAYSIA BOLEH, instead of keep on talking we imitate what we see in Parliament Today, WE POINT FINGERS. Why that chic over there can talk while we can't?? Why that dude over there can laugh but only us get scolding?

Yes, their GPS and facial recognition certainly failed and reflect their age very much. But it happens. What to do? Librarians do not like to be question, this time the launch their final attack. The commander of the wolves, would take charge. He'll give you That kind of stare that Elton John would give his husband to scare the preys of. Certainly I'm scared most of that.

RELAX Daryl.

Yes, the more he stares the more I wanna got frustrated. The students who can't stand that sexy stare of his all left. In my heart I really wanna curse him. If there's a way I'll really wanna get rid of him. Again, thank God for Smiley Susu that brought smiles back to me with her blurness. And I forced myself to pray and ask God to forgive me. Anger is = to kill according to Jesus.

Daryl RELAXED

Enough of the story telling, I hope you enjoyed it. Haha, gues what I've leant from this simple day? Yes it was really a frustrating day. But just as the verse above suggest, just walk with God.

I learnt that a true test of your walk with God and test of character is NOT what we DO IN EXCEPTIONAL MOMENTS of life, BUT THAT OF ORDINARY TIME!! It is time when there's nothing to be excited about, your character and attitude reveals. This too reveal my worth. Yes I've seen healing, ghost, dead rose but it counts for nothing if I stumble at these small small uneventful events!! It was such a difficult day to practise what I preach and Su'Rynn and Jennifer can testify how terrible I was in the library.

I humbly confess that I'm weak and there's so much more to be changed. The blog above is an evidence of how unworthy of me, to moan and groan when times are ordinary but tough. Still God accepts me is teaching me. Thats the beauty of Father God. I have problems too, and you probably can relate the above event to yourself too (or probably worse). But don't loose sight in the big picture. God.

Ps:Forgive me for the many words cramp together. I dont know why I cant space it!

I See You, Now I Don't

"All scripture are God-breath......" 2Titmonthy 3:16

A close friend once told me that the contents of Bible are written by human beings hence it is manipulative and cannot be trusted. Its so difficult for people to accept that above verse. So lets analyse using logic, rational and deduction approach.

Premise 1 : Human beings are manipulative and cannot be trusted.

Premise 2: I am a human being.

Conclusion: I am manipulative and cannot be trusted.

Agree? So because of manipulation we reject the bible. And turn to other books thinking that we can find a better book. Or we trust ourselves and so on... My friend, is there a difference if you reject Bible and go for other books which is also written by man. If you follow yourself you are manipulative too. And we all are manipulative nothing can be trusted. Don't you think that's living life emptily. Is there no guide line at all? Is there no hope in this world?____________________________________________________________________

THE MYSTERIOUS UNSOLVED EVENT

So my uncle was saved by God not only from certain paralysis that leads to death, but saved eternally by Jesus. When he said the sinner's prayer, even the blind can sense his sincerity by hearing his voice saying it what more those of us who were there witnessing it. However there is a twist that I left out from the last post. Read this carefully..

When he was struggling to say the prayer to embrace Jesus, he said it pretty loudly and loud enough to alert the nurse. One of the nurse by the name of "Fatimah" came over to the ICU bed and told me to get out and not force the patient to rest.

Of course I resisted, it was such an epic moment. But being myself if it was not because of that moment, I would have paused and walk out. But not this time, I sense a very strong urge to just stay in there and continue to lead my uncle to Christ. So I rudely shoo the nurse away Uncharacteristically of course=)

5 mins later I when I was done, I went to the nurse counter and requested for Fatimah. I explain my behavior and apologies of course. However.. I got the shock of my life. It was probably the strangest thing I encountered.

"There was never once a Fatimah working in ICU, nor other nurses with a name close enough for me to mixed up and no nurses from other department who goes ICU"

There you go. As eerie as it is, this can prove to you one thing God is alive and unfortunately He's counterpart Satan is alive too. Other nurses did not even bother to stop me but out of no where, this lady who never existed in that place appear to stop me. If I'd stop, my uncle might hesitate and won't say the prayers again. I'll never know.

There are two Masters here, one of God and other Satan. Choose for yourself which you want to submit to. In our midst we have jokers who always say "Hell yeah" too. I can only tell you, play with fire you'll get burn. Satan the devil is real. Don't let naitivity blind you.

My uncle wanted to test God whether he was real or not, by always countering me, asking me to prove God's existence. But in his nativity, he did not know devil is at work to. He wanted a miracle in order to believe, he wanted it, so as he wished HE GOT IT. He got a STROKE and God healed him. Thru that miracle, He tasted God. I asked him just recently how is he doing with God, he just said "I wish I would have just humbly accept Him than to ask for miracle". So you sure you want miracles before believe? I'll share with you all soon the life of this man who demanded miracle and learnt things the hard way.

Yes its my dad, whom came to know God the hard way. Built loads of wealth just to find out who's the true owner of it.

God knows your seeking Him or just fooling around. Firefighting or fie prevention? Seek the giver, not the gift.

Back to the earlier statement I made, this testimony is a confirmation of how God's breathed words come to flesh and it's so tangible. In a midst of craziness you pray and you get 3 rainbows a day, then a salvation. Then the next day back in Penang as I prayed to thank God, I got another rainbow (unfortunately I can't find the pic!) So there you have it, 4 rainbows in 2 days, directly after you pray. Tell me the probability of that happening. Coincidence? Common, lets not deny God of His Praise, Honour and Glory.

Expect the Unexpected

Rainbow

This time around the trip back to Penang was pretty uneventful (other than wonderful family bonding time and FOOD GALORE!) So I might as well tell you about my last trip there last year.

15 Oct 2007
I was on a long break after completing A levels in June, so we had the luxury of taking a long break in Penang. Since we’re so near to Kedah, might as well we go back an visit my Grandpa and uncle. I went there with a mission. TO SHARE CHRIST with my uncle, and for some reason, I knew it was his day to accept Jesus. But as we arrived Alor Setar, that cheeky just took off in time to run away from me. Sad.

Some pics :)

My macho dad, pretty mom and cute fatty brother Jordan
Me (abit fat) Jordan and Bryan. More than 10 years ago I took pic with Bryan here. 10 years later we're back :) With an extra member.

Me and my grandpa

The bedroom where I sleep from 1-6yr old.. I think..

Random

Thats how I look like probably 18 years ago

16Oct 2007

My dad works on Penang bridge expansion project. So we had a privilege to take a boat tour below the bridge. It was fun! Haha, a whole new experience.

At 12pm, disaster strike. We received a phone call from Alor Setar informing us that my uncle just got hit by a stroke. That came as a shock. I remember reading David vs Goliath story in my dad’s office while waiting for him to get ready for lunch. Indeed I was in a situation similar to what I was reading. The last time we received such calls from Alor Setar was the last time my grandmother could ever spoke. She was floored with a full stroke and passed away months later.
From that call I was told that his blood pressure rose over 200. In my head I knew my uncle won’t make it and he’ll die for sure.

The least I could do now is pray. On the way to Alor Setar, God really made me smile. As our family prayed together for his salvation, God just out of no where showed us a rainbow.
You think that’s a coincident? Wait till I show you what rainbow is in bible.

___________________________________________________________________
GENESIS 9:13
“I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be sign of the covenant between me and the earth. Whenever I bring clouds over the earth and the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will remember my covenant between me and you and all living creatures of every kind. Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life”
___________________________________________________________________

The 1st rainbow in highway when I was praying. Camera phone cacated so it's abit blur!

In the prayer I literally prayed that my uncle don’t die and he’ll receive Christ. So what better comfort can I ask for from God? Though the joy of seeing rainbow, I still worry crazily in my heart. Not knowing what to expect and fearing the worst.


As if God know I’m a man of little faith and hopeless, He surprised me again as I prayed when we approached the hospital. This time he showed me this!

The 2nd rainbow. This shot taken directly outside the hospital entrance. God placed it there so I could see for myself His faithfulness!! Double the rainbow, double the assurance.

Isn’t that wonderful?? One rainbow tak cukup so now He showed me 2! And the next thing I heard from God is: “Now that I assure you that I’m with you, go forth and lead your uncle to me”. Yet AGAIN, I doubted, till my mom told me that she sense I should go into ICU to talk to my uncle, NOT her.

So I prepared myself for the worst before I walk into ICU, thinking that I will see my uncle half dead, with his tongue hanging out and saliva all over, with only one eyeball rolling around and vegetable limbs. Man, I was so wrong. Despite the seriousness of his blood pressure and all, he survived! With only left side stroke and he was able to respond to conversation.

The moment I saw him, he greeted me with a smile, I responded straight to point “Jesus is here to save you, will you accept Him?”

“No la, don’t joke with me. If Jesus want to save me why does this happen to me?”

I replied “You think God is stupid? Where were you after knowing that I’m coming down to Kedah to share Christ with you? If you think Jesus is not real why did you run away so quickly?”

He ignored me. Then a while later he said “I will accept Christ after I’m healed from this”

I thought of giving up really. But suddenly this came to my mind and I said “Jesus is The way, The truth, and The life. No other God dares to say that because only Jesus is the God and He’ll heal you!”

Instantly, this late 40 man cried like a baby and accepted God. It was not easy for him because he had to force his paralyzed tongue to speak loud, clearly and properly. I did not even ask him to speak so clearly. Even harder still is his harden stubborn heart. Yet, he chose to do it.

There you go. See how he reacted when the truth of Jesus Christ hit his face? Now he is able to walk and talk though he still can’t run and jump nor sing. He suffered no permanent brain damage. This is a testimony of what MONEY CAN'T DO. You can boast all your possessions but when you have stroke, money means paper. God's healing is everything and you can't BUY that. Only humility can get you that.

Yes, expect the unexpected. Life with a living God is never a boring one.

GOD At Work II

God is not only found in church, but outside church as well. Even in offices occupied by non-believers.

So after Sharon left, I was left in the corner. I was abit depressed too because the harder I went around looking for things to do, the further people move away. As a result, for 2 days I was sitting alone at the corner doing nothing. I went online, facebook, phone calls and day dream. And prayed really hard continously like a mad man out of sought.

EXIT Sharon ENTER this man named Wong Hou Chung. He's a manager sitting next to my supervisor (Jackie Chan). In my 1st 4 weeks there I barely talked to him before, nor frequent eye contact. He was a nobody to me and I was a nobody to him. He suddenly asked me whether I would be interesting in helping him out in AOP (Annual Operating Plan).

The man whom spice "tortured me :P" my internship up:) In return I shared the seed of life to him.

He asked me whether or not I'm comfortable with numbers, good in Excel and working under pressure.

1) I'm not sure how to answer him because I did further maths in A Levels and hated numbers since.
2) I never used Excel in my life before so I'd be lying if I said I'm good at it.
3) Is doing last minute assignment considered "working under pressure"? Lol, if no then I have not worked under pressure at all.

When he asked me that, in my heart I had the answers, I didn't wanna do it. You wanna put me in a pressure cooker with Excel and numbers? I'd rather rot.. But God prompt me to do it. I remember praying for an unforgettable experience and now its granted. (That's y be careful wat cha pray for, eheh) I took the challenge and I told God to supply me the strength, wisdom and whatever that is needed to survive this. I don't know what to expect

The Outcome?

That day onwards, the entire Maxis budget was in my hands. (The entire Maxis staff related budget is in the hands of an intern. Is that not what I prayed for in the 1st day of my work? To gain favour)for the consequent 3 weeks. I worked from 9am-9pm. Somedays it'll be 6am-9pm. It was tiring, VERY challenging. And FUN :) I'll let the picture do the talking.

(I've removed some sensitive pictures. Sorry to those whom I ter"offended" :) Will use my wisdom more often. Thanks for reminding. Sorry!)

As if the numbers weren't confusing enough, this piece of art made me see even more stars.

The lounge in Plaza Central is pretty. Took time from the numbers to admire it. Was here alone till 7pm :s

Fun time. My 1st meal with my 1st pay wei.....:>

.....with Smiley "susu" Su'Rynn Wong who worked in Allianze bank nearby in Dang Wangi

For fun after completing budget. Hey, who says living a Christian life is boring ;)

In the next post, I'll tell you why all this are God's blessing with bible quotes. I could not have done anything without Him and prayers.

GOD At Work

MAXIS HR is rocked by Jesus :)

My boss will definitely agree with that. Been absent from my own blog till I have forgotten my username and password :s BAD.... Nways past 2 months had been exciting and busy. Really busy.

2 months ago I had a short 1 month plus holidays. I've decided to do internship with Malaysian Care to burn my time, and brighten up my resume too :> I only had problems with the place. the drug rehab HQ is located in Old Klang Road (Where is that ??) And I heard that area is messed with jams.. :S So I did what I do best. COMPLAINT to God. Hehe. And guess how He answered me....

A few days later I was introduced to JACKIE CHAN. No joke. A HR manager in Maxis. He's a new member in DUMC and I rarely seen him nor known him before. I thought why not try applying for an internship in Maxis! With no past working experience and not fulfiling any requirement (they only hire 3rd year students with 6 months break or so..), I tried anyway. And prayed.. And I got it :> Praise God.

Jackie Chan driving me to work EVERY morning :) hehe.. My cool boss.

Not only I got the job, I get paid a thousand as an intern as well (not much but i ain't complaining!) A thousand definitely can't cover my 2 months expenses (Parking fees, Food in KL wei....) So I prayed again and Jack called me and offer to pick me up EVERY morning! Haha, tell me if think thats not God's blessing.

This is the first time I work actually *NEVER done part time before too :(* I was ABIT nervous and was ready for the worst (Paper boy work, no proper work station, scolding from bosses blah blar bla...Whatever bad things you can think of) As I arrived KLCC Menara Maxis, I prayed hard to gain favour from God. Needed it badly. And the prayer was answered too. Haha! Check out my work station!

My extra cool work station

The view outside my office.....Where i stared and daydream sometimes:)

What more could I ask for? A table for two managers all by myself. With top speed internet connection access to Facebook, Malaysiakini, RPK and Messenger while working. Hehe, my 1st job. Not bad eh? Only God can provide this.

To cut the LOoOong story short. The 1st 4 weeks of internship I was given the responsibility to fill salary form, observe interviews, arrange interview, review recruitment processes etc.....Typical HR work la.. (Honestly it was abit boring because it was not so challenging) My manager Sharon was very supportive and always involve me in her tasks. Learnt a great deal of basics of HR work from her.

Sharon Goh while working...Lol. I only have this pic of her....*sorry sharon*..my table is directly behind hers

Till sadly...., Sharon Goh had to go for maternal leave. It was sad because that meant the manager that I was working comfortably is no longer around to teach me. Other managers seem so......busy!

And I prayed again. Haha, you won't believe how God answered me this time! Will blog in the next post....(gtg run to church now!)

ps: Let me show you the night view from my office.

By day. See the intersection there? Can you see a cross? *Use ur imagination* Was doing devotion when I heard crazy honks :)

By night.
