cruising on the silversea



it was quite the weekend for me i must say. being planted in a sea of corporate pant-suit-tie people out of the blue was rather...refreshing. oddly enough, i actually enjoyed it. missed it even. as much as i proclaim about my undying hatred towards the corporate world, it still appeals to me, just that little bit....that teeny weeny bit. what irony i know. gloria, the mother of all indecisiveness..

personally, i felt that the job was rather brainless. i mean, what can you expect from a temp job at a fareast showflat with a jobscope of babysitting the place. but after having spent 2 days there, never underestimate the myriad of things to learn at any place, anytime and from anyone.

i spent a couple of hours talking to this guy, not knowing exactly who he was.. we spoke about many things. about how the industry works (and i learnt alot!) the company, about how he loved working for fareast and has been there for 15 years. amazing. we had a tiny debate about job hoppers in relation to our different generations. interesting, the things that made time pass alot faster than i'd expected it to. i loved the conversation, i love talking to random people about the most random of things. blame my dad for the genes, really. i cant help it if i was born like that. we carried on taking for long when he suddenly said, "I LIKE YOU! you articulate well. take my number and call me if you ever need help with a job." i was like..eh..huh? what? then i soon learnt that he is the director, or top executive for real estate and customer relations at fareast. hahah. well done gloria, you've done it again..

thank God for opportunities like these. not that i actually do want it, but i can only daresay its godsent. nothing more, nothing less. i know im a favoured child and ive been blessed. we had our mini sunday night family time just now and mom was asking what i wanted to pray for. i told her that people will start throwing jobs my way, especially from the marine park. haha. she said, wah! so arrogant! id rather say its confidence. besides, you asked me what i wanted to pray for.. you didnt ask me to state what reality was. no harm asking is there. afterall, there really isnt a difference between reality and the impossible when God's incharge cos all things are possible and i dont doubt that for a second ever.

have a lil' faith...
