blessed

It is until now that I know, that shifting house needs a lot of money.

I spent a lot. It isn't a good sign. Even my first Google Adsense payment is not enough to cover these expenses. A little worried about money. =/

I found myself enjoying in working life. Although I have to look into lots (I think about a hundred or more) of TargetLink modells in MatLab, I enjoyed the life quite well. I enjoyed the time with my apartment's people. They are very kind and fun people. I have a cool boss whose name can be shortened to JFK. It seems like I have good opportunity with JFK. I like JFK in American history, I like my ex-house in JFK-road, and I like my new boss JFK. Well, his name not John F. Kennedy. But he is a cool guy; has style, shows good leadership, good-looking and somehow all the female workers & students know him. =/ 

JFK's boss is also someone steady and cool and I'll be meeting him tomorrow. And he wants to talk to me more, according to him. I wonder why. Haha. I also like my a senior/junior of mine, whose job I will be taking over. He is younger than me, but I will take over his internship job from next week onwards. And Seriously, I think I'm still unable to follow what he taught me since yesterday. Oh well. =/

In short, I love this company and I love the environment. I love the system. So far I got 3 hours OT and I will collect until 70 hours (max) so that I can have a good time during summer =D

I'm also grateful to able to stay in this house. This house is a 5 person WG, and all of them are nice people! 2 are leaving soon, but I'm very fortunate to able to know them. I know this might sound a little sakai, but yea, I never stay in a WG before and hanging out with these people are fun and great. And since everyone are Praktikanten and those who are writing their thesis, we are all free at night and it is fun to spend time with each other to know everyone in person.

In the end, the injured leg is another blessing in disguise. When I called the Hausmeister to take the room, I did pray hard that the people who I would be living with would be nice people. And God answered my prayer!

They say it is during the darkness that the Light shines brighter. It is definitely true. Being a 3 years old Christian, I thank God for putting me into such a situation, where I referred as "the new darkest period of my life". I prayed for a deeper level of faith, and God put me into such a situation that I really did feel lost, forsaken, and abandoned. It reminded me the situation in the bible:

Then he(Jesus) got into the boat and his disciples followed him. Suddenly a furious storm came up on the lake, so that the waves swept over the boat. But Jesus was sleeping. The disciples (me) went and woke him, saying, "Lord, save us (me)! We're going to drown!" 
He replied, "You of little faith, why are you so afraid?" Then He got up and rebuke the winds and the waves, and it was completely calm. 
The men (me) were amazed and ask, "What kind of man is this? Even the winds and the waves obey Him!"
Matthew 8:23-27 NIV, brackets mine
It was a meaningful journey of my new chapter of (working) life. I'm looking forward to each day. Let's keep the momentum rolling. I'm such a blessed child.
