I'm officially a working adult! Wow wee. Thanks to God who, in Eeleen's word, God likes to give us a little suprise from time to time to remind us who's in control. And He sure did when he allowed to get this job because it's way beyond my expectations. I'm glad that I waited till this long to get what God feels is nothing than the best for me. And of course thanks to all of you who have been praying for me, encouraging me to trust God, in His provision and of course to keep my eyes on Him.

This period of job search has been a long journey for me. After I have sent out almost a zillion resumes, well maybe not a zillion but surely more than 50 over the months from May to Oct. Attending 12 interviews, (if I didn't left out any), to be told sorry we found someone more suitable. But even though I have been disappointed time and time again, in the end I'm getting a job which I can only dream of geting maybe in 3,5 years time. Praise God! But as I look back, it's amazng how I'm being brought to this job. Lets see....

After I graduated, my dad insisted that I must go into insurance to take over his business when he retires. I was very reluctant about it and wanted nothing to do with it. But because I couldn't find a job, I thought I'll just do this to pass my time. And so the months pass... It was until I attended my graduation ceremony that I called up an agency that had a temp position opening did I started work. It's funny how after I started working at this job that the calls to interviews started pouring in. I had to take 2 days off almost every week to attend interviews. I decided that since I was not gaining anything from this job and also I wanted to have a clearer idea of what I wanted in my future career. After merely 3 weeks, I called it quits with ocbc, but the calls to attend interviews still poured in.

And by this time I also had some idea of what I wanted as a career and know where to work towards. God is just amazing, He knows that if he dun make it so plain to me where I should work, I may never know. So He made it possible that I got a job offer so good that I couldnt resist and would know for sure that this is IT! Work will start on Monday then I'll tell you just how exciting my job really is!
