Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails....

i love being the santa today!

After the interview and dinner with Adeline on Friday, I had a serious tummyache. I thought I was overly excited and anxious about the job offer on Friday that let me in that state but apparently it wasn't.

Or perhaps it was the constipation that causes my stomach to be heavy or Im opening my mouth when I sleep which causes stomach flu of some sort. Ok, it's nonsense.

Visited my ex company today. Bought alot of Christmas presents for everyone, including teachers, staffs and even the cleaning aunty and security uncle. It was fun buying presents, when you know that they appreciate your effort and be thankful. So it was a long lunch with the whole bunch of ex-colleagues, practically the whole office people because we had small headcount. Listening to their grumblings, complaints and every interesting stories.

As usual, working there is like a new story everyday because every case is a special one -.-

But of course, there were alot of major changes. I am glad that the Foundation Degree Program which I was working on day and night for months has been approved and students are now more able to communicate in English (thanks to the supportive language school), write better thesis and be more serious in their work.

At least all my hard work paid off :)

I am so happy to see those students and teachers and we just hug each other like some old friends. And they will just share with me every single details of their life, which is not enough to cover in one afternoon. But im so happy for some of them, who have found love or new directions in life. And some hooligans who used to give me problems has now become so polite.

Unfortunately, the lady who took over me has been asked to leave due to her poor performance in work. I didn't have much contact with her except for the day when I hand over. But many teachers and students has complained to me and boss has asked me to go back there.

But well, im sorry. once decision is made, i won't turn back. i felt sorry for the messiness now, but since when is the school not messy. haha. just that i felt sad that she didn't do a good job. Afterall, academics is the most crucial department in the school.

And some directors have been asked to leave too. With new leaders taking over, and probably a new academic structure and a new premise in March next year.

Well, well. All that being said, I hope the school is turning for the better and sometimes, when talking to my ex colleagues, it makes me feel glad that I m now a audience to the whole mess, instead of the one who needs to clear it and work overtime everyday. :)

Finally met my dear Evelyn for dinner today at Hairloom and Caramel Cafe. Didn't finish the salad and the spaghetti. Hope she loves the xmas gift I bought :)

So glad to know that she is doing well and graduating soon. Evelyn is the one who will always give me support and assurance in anything and everything. And even though we don't meet that often, she takes an effort to read my blog to keep her updated. Appreciate it. I will keep this blog alive.

She's a great listener and def a great friend :) Thanks love for sparing time out today. Please meet up before your operation k. I miss your mum too :)

Although it seems like going for interview is nothing to me, but I'm actually pretty nervous about tomorrow's one. I work hard during the writing test, and I really put in my best. Now that it's passed and now comes the interview. So near to the end, but wonder if i will ever reach it. Plus, i just dyed my hair blonde and I'm really scared that it will affect my performance tomorrow.

I have been diligently reading on the company's website and researching on every aspect of the business. I hope that it won't be tough one tomorrow. The PICO one still leaves me nightmare. :(

I really hope I will get it. If not, oh well, it will be the previous job offer.
