It's a blessing in disguise.. ..
I planned to work for a year in my school research lab to gain some valuable experiences in the working industry before going to aussie. & initially everything went on smoothly as i plan. I passed the 1st interview & the lecturer-in-charge actually told me to wait for the 2nd interview with the HRs. & so i did. As weeks passed by, all he did was to ask me to wait. Craps. Luckily, another same course-batch friend who also passed the 1st interview inform me that they are not hiring anymore. Like what?! Really waste my time man. So disappointed in the school & the lecturer who did not even give me an answer till now.
Oh well.. I knew that I can't give up at that point of time. So crucial.., I gotta find one 1-yr contract job fast so I can fly next july. & Behold, I mass "spam" my resume+cover letter & I gotten many calls from the companies. Eventually, I chose BD b'coz the job scope meets my interest & passion for Microbiology. &
Proverbs 16:9
"A man's heart Plans his way. But the LORD Directs his steps."
I truly experienced this verse. I had loads of Déjà vu from the BD's interview, medical check-up to the working lab experiences. God truly acts in a way that all of us can't comprehend. If it is not for the incident in school, I can only think of doing research & nothing else more. And Hallelujah! I know that I am not cut out to be a mad scientist. I found a new love for Bacteria (: Finally I know what to specialized in for my 3rd year. This is indeed God's perfect plan for me.
I really enjoy what I am doing in BD! Though it's not easy to wake up early at 5 plus in the morning everyday, at least I know this is what I really like. Now I got myself a discipline lifestyle; the first to sleep & the first to wake up, "Nutritional" meals (B'coz BD does not offer Beef, Mutton & Pork in their menu) & no time to watch television. Now I really understand how it feels to work full time. You'll be "stuck" in it with the hectic lifestyle. I am wondering why friends & relatives of mine actually asked me to date only after I start working & I realize that there's practically no time to meet new people, only your working colleagues?
And I am definitely the youngest among my QA MicroLab colleagues. On the first day, they were joking about "generation gaps". -_- Ahahas! & they love to use the word "ATAS" in their conversation(s)(which include me for being atas b'coz I go for an expensive treatment for braces?). They are real fun to get along with! I had a great time mingling with them & at the same time learn all the skills that i'am required to know.
Now I am really glad that I did not have the job in school b'coz the school premises is totally different from a real manufacturing lab. For instance, school lab only have small autoclave machine whereas big companies have huge sterilization machine which includes all the detailed procedures needed to be carry out to operate it & all the paper document that we gotta complete after we run each cycle. Yeah..this job really taught me to be a meticulous person. (: & Yesh..More SOP to read!
I am grateful for those who make time for me just to celebrate my day. This may be my last after I fly to aussie? Hahas. Time flies I must say. I see myself going through bad & good experiences, & now i am on the right track & going to realize my dreams & visions soon! Though I may have lose some in the past, but I gain so much more now. God is indeed creative. He made me walked past, beside two of the men whom once I love so much and both situation were in the crowd along with my brother. So creepy. I thought i'am having illusion, but no i am not. Hahas!
BTW this is my favourite Hill song! I have actually forgotten bout this song b'coz I sync my ipod songs last year & lost a few of my favourite hill songs album in it. And recently I re-found it at YouTube! Yeah! This is the best song to motivate me whenever I feel down & the song that can easily get into His presence (:
"No weapon formed against me shall remain!" :D
So enjoy it my loved ones.
Loves.
