2 weeks...

it has been 2 weeks since I've started work. honestly, as exciting as it is everyday, it is also a whole lot of getting used to. after resting for 2.5 mths, i have some difficulty tuning in to work again. and also, after my 2nd day of work, i had to work OT already, almost every day. even i have to find time to do some work at home over the weekends too. it's somewhat fun, perhaps something i don't mind, but it's also relatively physically and mentally draining. even my Boss could feel that i'm 'punctured' already. well, i guess he cant expect me to run a 10km marathon without running for more than 2 months right?

anyway, he has high hopes for me since the 1st day i've started work. and i'm determined to keep up to his expectations. i get insecure at most times coz' i do feel as if i'm not working up to my own expectations, hence his expectations. i don't know if my expectations are the same as his, or possibly higher. so i constantly feel that i could do better, even though he would never fail to give me some encouragements or a pat on the back that i'm doing good.

i guess most importantly, i really enjoyed my work. alot of freehand, till i'm actually insecure if i had it all right. and i'm really blessed that my boss gives me the freedom. even though his directions may not be very clear, and i do get confused too, but ultimately i enjoyed the entire experience. it's really God-sent, and i've been grateful everyday. :)

and only 2 weeks of work, getting in depth with this whole beauty business, i've actually began to scrutinize other ppl's skin! it's like so OMG! i guess this happens when i'm constantly exposed to co-workers' great skins, and i'm depressed about mine. even the big lady boss's skin, who's in her 50s, also better than mine. in fact, almost flawless! it does motivate me about the products. and i'm really tempted to take a shot with their products and treatments. like my boss said, i need to be a convert myself before i could be their Brand Angel/Spokesperson. with a staff discount of 30%, really, it's attractive.

anyway, my cleanser is about done. rather than going back to the hospital to get my supplies, i might as well start using theirs. it's gonna be more expensive, but the discount makes the price on par. so why not? and i'm actually excited, thinking about it! LOL!

I'm Hired!

wow! the wait is over! no more endless anticipation of whether i'll get a job or not! it's such an immensed relieve, and at the same time, so really excited to move on. even though it's a job not really what I wanted, but i do want to believe this job would open new doors for me.

after i accepted this job, i had two other calls from agencies, to get me to go for interview. one was at Coke, another at F&N. honestly, i felt the pang of pity i couldn't go, when i turned it down. as much as my options are still opened, i didnt feel it was right to take leave to attend the interviews. it'll be unpaid, and if i happened to be offered, i don't think i could just tender like that. it's unethical to me, and i don't feel good doing things like that. so Mei felt it was all fated. i guess it's worth to give this boss a shot, since we can hit off quite well.

so yar, i'm starting work tomorrow. and i also just got back from a weekend trip to Batam with Bel, Ra, and Mun. Glad that i start work only on Tues, so today i had a good rest.

and you know what? i'm starting work, the same date as i started work with DK last year. uncanny. but i choose to believe that it means i'll start over on the same date, and this will be a happy job for me. so it's fated for me to put things right, the way it should've been when i was in DK. :)

yes, it will be a good start for all good things to come.

as much as i'm scared how this will turn out, but I'm Ready to Go Go Go!!

and i must say, The Secret pulled me through my toughest days. Thank you the Secret, Thank you my Lord, Thank you the Universe. Amen.
