Work

Finally got some stuff to do at work (bored to death today =.=). However, it was already time to leave. Haha, leave those work for tmr ^^
Btw, I got 2 free tickets by participating in the worship night tmr. I gave those to my neighbour whom I don't know but I believe they are Christians because I heard them playing the music of 愛，我願意 the other night. I put the tickets with a note in an envelope and stick it on the door. Haha, my first friendly greeting with my unknown neighbour~

Please

No seeing on Sats evermore.

感謝主為我所預備的...

耶和華說:「我的意念,非同你們的意念,我的道路,非同你們的道路。 天怎樣高過地,照樣我的道路,高過你們的道路,我的意念,高過你們的意念。 」 (賽五十五: 8-9)

從來都沒有想過會在浸大工作。當我 apply 之時， 只是一試，諗住仲要考 written test, 要求一定好高，我又唔夠所要求的兩年畢業後工作經驗。不過既然 cover letter 都唔使點改就 send 得咁滯，咪 send 左 lor. 點知個 test 唔係難，之前o個日又狂溫過應用文，我覺得自己考得幾好，同時精簡過其他三個考生。Interview 時用英文，對我唔係問題，問題是普通話，好在對方實力都是彼此彼此，溝通到就得啦 ^^ Hehe...

是日黃昏便收到通知，雖然我經驗不足，但勝在 background 切合，感謝主！現在回想，真是發了一場夢，miracle 再次出現了。「但那等候耶和華的，必如鷹展翅上騰」這份工是遠超我所想所求，不單是大機構 (又不是商業，仲要係基督教) 人工高福利好認授性高，而且星期日可以返教會，時間穩定距離屋企唔算遠 (彩虹)，最緊要是跟我 born with 的興趣、恩賜、和 training 相吻合。而且 this Academy 去年才剛成立，發展機會甚多，一定要努力呀!

特別鳴謝當我正在 interview 時為我禱告的阿信 ^^

Weekly update again

Tues or Weds (don't remember):
Interviewed at Red Cross for an Assistant Programme Executive. The interviewer said my background doesn't relate at all to the social work nature and that my expected salary is way too high.... fine...

Fri:
I still couldn't understand the "don't wanna go out " concept after multiple times of explanation. Upset at night and couldn't go to sleep, which was bad because I needa got up early and attend the written test at Baptist U the next day.

Sat:
Went to the test with a pair of panda eyes and shaking hands (lack of sleep). The language proficiency test had 3 questions: Chin and Eng 應用文each, plus translation from Chin to Eng. It was kinda easy for me... I think. After that, went to Mongkok to deliver the resume at an Overseas Studies Agent. Got interview on the same day late evening. But it turned out that we (3 of us) waited for 2 hours and the manager didn't interest in me at all. I'm glad that he didn't like me because he was a really weird guy. So weird.. so 騎尼... the other interviewee said he was 顛顛地.... haha... true. I rushed to my cell group afterwards (already late), then got stomache because I had no time for supper.

Sun:
Got up early again for sunday worship (you know, far away). But other ppl always late. And it sounds like being late is an ok thing to do, too. Too exhausted to get mad anymore.

Mon:
Got up early again ++ to write a test for an editor at Worldwide Bible Society. The test had 3 papers: 校對, 審譯, 中譯英。Took me 3.5 hours to complete all those. They were very challenging and the hardest one was 審譯. But Alex should be able to handle those with no problem I think... haha!

Tues:
Got up early again! Gotta take the DV to City U to my brother early morning. Lucky that I need to go to BU again for interview, which is almost sitting right beside City U. There were 3 interviewers and I believe one of them couldn't understand Chinese. It was carried out in Eng and Mandarin.

On the same day at around 6pm. I received a call from BU. I got verbally hired. Praise the Lord!!!!! Position: Project Assistant at the Academy of Visual Arts, Baptist University

WWF

Joined the WWF on the street and enrolled as a member who donates a hundred bucks a month. What a surprise that those people who talked to me are not volunteers, but instead, hired.

Btw, you should really really be thankful Jovina because you still have a whole pile of postings to apply for and many of them are Christian organizations with visions.
Be thankful at all times!!!!

Weekly update

Didn't acheive much last week.... only sent a few resumes earlier the week, then nothing was achieved, and I still have a whole pile of postings that needs to be done.
Celebrations were all over the week... including birthdays, and my former cell group leader's wedding. Took a few wonderful pics of her. And I almost dine out every night eating big meals with ppl...... I probably gain weight ++
A digital piano (very cool design) has arrived. I got it as a birthday gift from my dad. At first when he offered me this idea, I rejected. (As many of you already know, accepting it is way harder for me than rejecting it) But Ivan told me to take it instead because it will be good for the relationship. So I accepted it and the tension between me and my dad seemed to decrease by then. Ivan was right...
No interviews or news from the jobs I applied. I begin to feel a bit discouraged and, more importantly, unproductive and useless in terms of both the view of the society and God's kingdom. In other sense, nothing was acheived. Constantly applying for jobs is also mo liu. I think.
