Transformation

So so sorry for the long long silence. I started working for a humanitarian agency since 2 weeks ago. I have been wonderfully busy and at times awfully busy, which is good for the time being. I have been appointed as the Publications Officer. I had a good laugh when I was told cos I expected myself to be called a writer. Well, it is a good training ground for me to grow in many ways.

Yeah, this is a job that I like. I actually looking forward to going to work every morning, which I think is pretty weird cos in the beginning I couldn't visualise myself going to work in a office, not to mention wearing high heels and office attire again. This is something holistic cos I am doing something which is completely new. My life has been transformed yet I feel quite positive about this transformation.

I have to confess that I used to be quite judgmental towards the working class. Actually, it requires a lot of strength to wake up early in the morning to brave the traffic jam and crowd to work. I guess as long as you are doing something you love doing, everything seems to be quite alright even you have to stuck in the traffic jam...Well, I am wearing my pleated skirt and tie printed with Korean characters, not bad at all.

Actually, I fell really ill after my first week of work. I was suffering from allergic reaction, which had never happened before. Maybe my body wasn't ready to adjust to this new way of life and environment.

The coming weekend, I will be joining the mobile clinic co-organized by my agency and UNHCR. Then followed by a conference and SPHERE Training (it is some sort of emergency response training) next month. For you well wishers out there, please pray for me cos I really need extra strength to do all these.
