Blessing in Disguises

Well, it has been a difficult year for me, 

I'm turning 29, and what was happening through these few months weren't really exactly what I thought it would be...

I graduated from my masters last year, 

then I thought I would like to start my PhD and get a job.  

But, getting a decent job offer was difficult, 

there were interviews, but no news actually came back to me.

The amount of applications I made were really a lot that I actually lost count... 

I was so desperate last month that my friends and I scheduled a trip to Genting just to get drunk. 

*Iknowthisisnotagoodbehavior*

The reason was I have never been drunk, 

so I thought maybe getting drunk might help me to forget things that are happening now... like being jobless...

All my other friends were kinda employed and started working, 

I feel happy for them... But I also felt even more desperate...

Well I'm not exactly jobless, I know many people thought I do, 

but I was actually helping in my dad's office and doing some volunteering work.

Last month, there was also a moment that I just felt like leaving Malaysia and go for a long holiday maybe... 

But I quickly realized that trying to get away from all these is not a good idea, 

so I continued to send job applications...

Then, a "strange" part-time offer came in, it wasn't a good offer,
and things ended up quite awfully. 

I felt abandonment, so I was quite unhappy... 

Then this week, my birthday falls on a Friday, 12/6, and I'm turning 29 before I'm 30. 

On Monday, I received a call from a company and scheduled an interview on Tuesday, 

an email scheduling an interview on Thursday. 

Then I realized maybe losing the part-time job is a blessing in disguise. 

and I stopped feeling bad about it. 

But I was lost on Thursday and was late for my interview... 

*ohcrap*

Then,

on Thursday, 

I was officially diagnosed with hyperthyroidism and I started taking medications right away. 

But on that very evening, I received a call saying that my offer letter was out!

OH MY GOSH!!!

I was like what, another blessing in disguise? I really can't believe it!!!

Although things are unofficial for now, but I think it really is a blessing before I actually turned 29...

Then I told everyone who are close with me about this because it's so exciting!!!

My family also celebrated my 29th birthday on Thursday night itself, 

and I started thinking that can anyone's life get any better... 

*PraisetheLord*

Friday evening,my cousin told me about promotions in Marina Sand Bay Singapore since I'm going to Singapore next week for a conference. The promotion was really good and I will spend a night there. It was really a great promotion and I'm really excited about it right now. 

Again, could anyone's life be any better than this? 

All these blessings in disguise... How can I not love it? 

Just like the Chinese idiom, 塞翁失马，焉知非福.
At the same time, I am reminding myself of being moderate and to avoid 乐极生悲.
After all, I am beginning to be independent finally. =)

On Friday night, I went dinner with my friends and we had a wonderful night together!

Therefore, here I am at 1:13am, not asleep, I know this is not good for my health, so I better finish this fast and move on...

This is me, making a wish, hopefully,
the dreams come true day will come to us at the right moment. =)

This was such a memorable week for me because there were so many ups and downs,

what I actually learned from this experience was to Be Grateful of everything we have and what we faced each day because we never really know whether these are blessings in disguise/an experience that help us grow...

It's just that we have not realized it in the way it should be...
If you believe that everything happen in our life for a reason...

Have faith, 

everything will get better each day. 

Faith.

p/s: This is another counting my blessings post. I think I will keep doing this.

The Owls Cafe

这间cafe位于Bukit Jalil, 因为在Serdang的公公家做对年，

所以就在仪式完了以后顺便到这里喝茶，

毕竟如果从我家到这里的话实在是太远了。

而且我也大概是第一次排队排了那么久，

排了45分钟才进到店里。

整整的45分钟啊~~~

平时的我是不可能会这样排队吃东西的。

可是既然都来到了，

所以唯有硬着头皮的等啦。

平时我通常都会make reservations，就是要避免这样等。

当然也有一些地方是没有reservation system的，

通常如果是这样的店我都会早到/有时候经过看到没有人的时候才进去吃/直接选其他的。

没有必要一定要吃到。

如果是一定要吃到的话就会选择当最早到的客人。

这里的食物不算便宜，

和一般cafe的价钱相差不大，

所以对我来说，偶尔吃一吃这些就好了。

上面的macaroon很不错，雪糕也很特别，

尤其是一个不懂什么口味的，

就是那只有一球雪糕的waffle的上面，

很好吃，又不会太甜，吃进口里有微微的香气，

太不错了！

这里是很适合拍照的地方，

我也发掘了我电话的新拍照功能，

大概可能是我太低能忙了吧，

*开玩笑，怎么可能*

所以用了大约一年才发现到自己的手机有这样的功能。。。

淑云也用了她手机的新app来帮我拍照，

这些照片简直就很有feel!!!

所以我也很做作的扮成忧郁样...lol

忽然觉得自己还蛮不错的嘛，

很久没有这么做作的拍照了.

还是宝刀未老。

*忽然觉得自己好老噢*

当然也要谢谢淑云不厌其烦的帮我拍照啦~~~

p/s: 淑云是谁？她是我弟的太太啦！
