My Work Part 1

So how was 2nd week of work?

It was okay, challenging, and lotsa exciting stuffs that I've gone through.

Had a 3 hour long meeting on Tuesday with few other lecturers about their research. My SV was kinda interested so she asked me to join along. For the whole 3 hours there, I was kinda blur with the meeting (coz it involves lotsa numbers and weird stuffs). Well, me and numbers or graphs, etc, please no.lol. We had pizza for lunch, mandarin oranges and also peanuts (like mini CNY celeb dy)

Basically, half a day was gone with de meeting *mindblown*

The next following days was okay, me working on my proposal, and SV checking and giving more ideas.

So much things to learn (i feel not that knowledgeable, but oh well, we can never stop learning right?)

My SV will always tell me, ask me any questions, anytime if you don't understand. 

But I'm that kind of person who doesn't know what to ask.LOLLLL.

Thursday, I showed her the way to IPS coz next week she have to attend the SPSS workshop.

While walking and all, she shared about her faith and all and provides me with lotsa advice.

She said when you go out to work, don't see the monetary value, but go out to gain experience, and said "Seek Ye first the kingdom of God, and all these things shall be added unto you"

Yeap, time and time again I've always reminded myself not to store treasure on earth, but to store up treasures in Heaven and to look not on earthly things.

She said if my previous SV was still here, she wouldn't have a chance to meet me. She strongly encourages me to continue my PhD abroad in future after working and gaining 3-4 years of experience. She even told me, who knows you'll be under me again.

I'm always very blessed and thankful to God that I've met Dr HJ. She gives me great advice and is always willing to teach me (even tho I always feel that I'm so noob.lol). She said, put your trust in Him, you never know His plans, coz He has great plans for your life. 

God has placed me there for a reason. It's just the 2nd week of working life, more to come =)

Here's a throwback of what I did last weekend:

 ~dessert crave, so we had Bingsu from Caffe Bene~

~Naom's and me after church in Komugi Cafe~

My RA work

So how has it been?

Started my work on Monday. Got my own lil corner in the room.hehe

~my lil corner~

SV and me discussed about the working time and other stuffs. 

And she told me everyday lunch and tea time will be on her.

*omo* i was so paiseh, I told her I'll bring food from home, no worries, but she told me, it's okay, you don't need to bring from home, I will treat you everyday.

Time flies.... it's been 4 days already.

My SV is really a very good and caring person.

I am so well fed and well taken care of, I really wanna thank God for everything, seriously.

I am really really blessed.

This few days, we got to know each other more, at times, sharing about faith, etc.huhu

I think I am still kinda introvert, lol coz I am still new, and for me, like a student and lecturer have boundaries, but lol for my SV, she shares a lot of things with me.

And oh! she loves walking, and very environmental friendly.

We walked to and fro from Edu to IPS *pants*

Whenever she has meeting, after that, she will bring food for me, she will tell me that this is very nice and I thought of you. Ngawww.....

Today, met with some other lecturers, and they talked a lot of stuffs, for me I am slowly gaining experience and knowledge from all these experts. Sometimes ah, when they talked certain terms, I felt so noob.LOL...

I've heard of it and I've learnt it before, but yea....semua sudah ke laut.seiii lorrr

It's also an opportunity to build connections and network with others.

Few lecturers know me and I've taken some of their subjs before, haha then they told my SV, 'wahhh, you chose the right candidate", "Oh, Grace, ya ya I know her, etc etc"

WOW.this is somehow scary also.LOL

I am looking forward for more exciting stuffs to come, more new knowledge and experience.

Very gan xie zhu for providing me with this RA work and also a SV who is always willing to share her knowledge and experience with me. I am really really really well taken care of *fat dy, CNY coming also.haha plan to lose weight but I've been well fed*LOL

God provides at the right timing.

From the time I was SV-less for so many weeks almost 3 months, but now...

I have someone who treats me like her own daughter.

I am sure He is still planning great and interesting stuffs for me.

It was also a great walking journey this few days coz there are stuffs that needs to be done.

Even walking as far as from the KWSP building to UM *what a great exercise*

Jio-ed the working peeps to my house for dinner

~working peeps~

We had a great time of fellowship and jam session at my cozy place.

 ~jam sess~

FES Family Day

Last Sunday, we went for FES Family Day and Commissionning.

Few of us from UM went (me, Vivian, Naomi, Soon Sin, Tim, Boon Hoe, Jack, Chalystha, Charissa)

Ngaw! I want my own kid too.LOL

RA Work

I'll be starting my RA work (Research Assistant) work next Monday.

Looking forward to it but at the same time I'm kinda nervous.

Nervous that I can't perform well in work. 

So thankful and blessed to get this job.

Something that I was looking for since previous sems, to get more experience and earn something.

God really provides.

When the other lecturers turned me down in search for a supervisor, there was this particular lecturer who is willing to take me in.

And from there we get to know more about each other, and she was also looking for an RA, and she told me the first person I thought of was you.

At that moment, I told her, I was actually looking for an RA job as well. 

So she told me what is her interest and told me the procedure to apply for this position.

I can't thank God enough for all these.

So, next Monday is the day!

Got 2 journals to read, and one meeting coming up soon (weehuuu working life!) 

But....haha still haven't finish reading, it's been a long week, exploring new places, fellowshipping with people. and there's guest this weekend. Hoped to finish reading soon.pheww.haha

Visit to Aquaria KLCC

Went to KLCC on Tuesday with Oli, coz i wanted to go Kinokuniya to use up my book voucher.

But we went to somewhere else instead, exploring places.

Yea, we went to Aquaria KLCC, my first time, and we got student price, so let's go!

All of these are God's wonderful creation, I am so amazed to see various kinds of fishes.

Spent almost 3 hours there, then we headed to Pavilion (it was also random) and it was my first time.

We used the covered walkway, 1.2/1.3km from KLCC to Pavilion.

Had our lunch there in Pavilion, cuci mata, coz the things there are kinda expensive and the place is too big.haha

~selfie in front of Pavilion~

After Pavilion, we walked to Sg Wang plaza, passed by Farenheit & Lot 10.

What a long journey.LOL, burning fats.

Was at Sg Wang, and i heard lion dance,so we stopped and watched.

There were few actors and actress there, and I spotted someone in RED!

A taste from Home (Part 2)

More homecooked food.

Saves so much, but now things also getting more expensive.zzz

When I become RA also i wanna bring food from home, prolly wake up super early in de morning and cook.

Saving money for some other stuffs, I really hoped to bring my parents to Aussie one day since they have never been there before.

And yea cant wait to go back Muar again to buy more brains (otak otak)

Simple home cooked fried chicken, that I marinate with the KFC seasoning.

We got lotsa shimeji mushrooms given by Kim & Yvonne, so I cooked it almost everyday.haha

 ~fried egg tofu & shimeji mushrooms and steamed brocolli, fried omelette with cheese, fried salted white carrot with egg~

I dont know what else to cook with the mushrooms so I just made up my own recipe.LOL

~tuna and sambal macaroni~

Initially wanted to use the spaghetti sauce but the sauce was spoil so we improvised it into this.hehe

Got more other stuffs that I always wanna cook but buying the ingredients for it...hmmm so expensive, nvm one fine day!

Thank you to people who always bless our house with food,

We really appreciate it very much, we never run out of food coz there's always plenty of food hidden.haha

Last Bible Study

We had our last Bible Study for this Semester last Tuesday.

Finally, after 1 1/2 years of studying the book of John.haha

I was still kinda new back then, how time flies ohh...

~tradition to take pic~

Went for Early Dawn prayer the next day, from 5.30-7am.

Committing the whole year to Him, I pray that He will continue to lead me and guide me according to His will.

Have been cooking a lot this past days during their exams, saves money also but I still spend money on some junk (haha couldn't resist)--how to not grow fat miennn

Looking forward to my RA job too! =D and walking to and fro UM, hopefully can burn some calories.LOL

Excited but nervous at the same time.
I really want to thank God for this RA job~i was actually kinda looking and searching for RA job that suits me, coz i wanna gain some experience also and some income.huhu
God provides at the right timing, I am so grateful to Him, everything comes at the right time.

My SV has already sent me the list about what we are gonna discuss during meetings, and journals to read.wooww...

So many people to catch up with this week, before they go back sem break.

Looking forward to have our Elphis CG again next sem (more postgrad peeps) YAY!

Okay, I'm excited but also nervous, lol.

Praying for a word in season from Him for Elphis.

I treasure my CG alot, they're part of my life.

Anticipating more exciting stuffs for the months to come.

Watchnight Service and New Year 2016

How did I spent my New Year?

Went for Watchnight Service at SIBKL with few other UM peeps.

Reflected on what had happened throughout the year.

For me, I've gone thru many ups and downs especially emotions.

But I thank God for bringing me thru all these, providing me with people who were there to support and encouraged me.

I am Blessed! 

~we sat at the front row, MJ, me, Oli & Parti~

We came a lil late, so the rest of the seats where filled with people, so we were asked to sit at the front row.LOL, super front lor

~us during Watchnight Service~

Went for supper at Murni's after that till 3am. WHOAAA....

Then Char & Vian stayed over at my place, we had pillow talk till 5am (i was so zombified by then), slept for 3 hours, woke up around 840am and we continued our pillow talk.LOL

Went for a random outing with both of them after that to Midvalley, till around 3pm, came back, took a nap ( I was really sleepy), then we went out for dinner at Jaya One.

Spent my New Year well =)

New Year resolutions ah?

Hmm for me, got or don't have also same je.haha

I just want to grow deeper in His Word, to finish writing my thesis, and to bring my parents for a trip to Aussie.

Am also looking forward to my upcoming RA job under my SV.

God, I commit everything into Your hands, I pray that You will continue to lead and guide me to the right path.
