Along the High Seas

It has been awhile since I last posted on this blog and it seems like eternity since I last saw you guys physically. The most obvious reason is that I am so far away from you guys in terms of distance. By the time I come back for the Summer, some of you would already be in the United Kingdom furthering your studies. This is not what we want or choose but it is how life's journey of development takes us unto.

As I post this, my holidays are nearly coming to an end and I would begin the new semester in four days time. This last 7 weeks of holidays has been eventful albeit being a little boring at times. It all started with the stressful procedures of applying for a casual job. Unlike Malaysia, Australia has a standard procedure on how you apply for a job. No arguments, no bending of the rules, everything is written down in black and white. First you either apply online/hand in your written resume, then for some, you have to take an IQ equivalent test and then only you would get your interview if you are successful. After all this, I am now currently working at Maccas ( McDonalds' Australia) on a casual basis. Before you are able to become a full time staff, you have to undergo orientation and some training sessions.

Working in this multinational company has taught me a lot on efficiency. Because McDonalds is fast food company, everything happens very quickly. As like any other companies, we depend on mostly turnover. That is how we maintain profitability. This job can be stressful at times but also enjoyable. I have worked in the kitchen at McDonalds' and now would be moving in to a cashier role. For the mean time, I would be balancing work and studies. The best thing about working with McDonalds is that because I am a full-time student, they are quite flexible with me. I would work once a week in the university semester because I have only 3 days of university in the next semester.

My worklife aside, life has been generally good. I have been kept busy by having church meetings, cell retreats and lunches with friends and family. In fact, just this weekend ( 25th-27th July), I went down to Mandurah, which is approximately 68.3 kms south of Perth. I went on the retreat with 14 of my cell group mates. We had a good time of fellowship, and praising God and learning His Word. However, I felt sick on the 2nd day of the retreat causing me to be to feel under the weather. We went to the town to eat lunch on the 2nd day, eating fish and chips and other stuff. Then we had another time of sharing with Pastor Jason and dinner. The thing is with Mandurah, the sky is as clear as the night, therefore, you are able to see the stars and the planets very clearly. After dinner, we went outside to marvel at the Lord's creation. He who created the stars and the moon and all the planets did a terrific job. I saw what most people only see in textbooks or at planetariums. I saw Saturn with its rings, Jupiter with its three moons and equators. Random facts: Jupiter's equator is so large that you can fit 11 Earths side by side. There is also a sea in Jupiter, which is called Uropa.

That has been practically my entire holidays. Oh, besides university and work, I am also involved in the church production, Imagining Christmas, which would be held on September 13th at 7.30 pm. It is at the Octagon Theatre at the University of Western Australia (UWA). Till then..=)
