It’s drizzling outside, I have a cup of hot coffee in front of me. I need coffee when I am at home after lunch if not I will dive straight into bed.

So I went to my interview yesterday, the place was easy to find and I was early so I sat under a HDB block (which is across the road) to collect myself with a Malaysia cig first.

And…

It went well! I haven’t exactly gotten the job yet. I have to go on a one or two week trial period first before the boss sees I am suitable for this job. I think the main concern for the boss is speed. He said he liked my work but I might have taken weeks and months to do it which he can’t afford that in the real working world and he needs to know whether I can blend in and everything.

I don’t know when I am starting, I have to call the boss later to confirm.

I am so excited! But more scared at the same time, it’s a big company and I will really have to prove I am capable enough to be there. I am not saying what company it is..I mean if I do get rejected, that would be embarrassing.

I walked out of the building kind of surprised it went well, and that someone actually liked my portfolio. It was getting real nervous when I first arrived at the rows of very nice boutique design offices. And the boss seem quite intimidating at first but he’s actually very nice.

And that’s that for my job search and interview, hope everything goes well! Finally, after three interviews, I am getting closer!

I went down to Kino and bought my Moleskin planner for next year and a new book called “The Year of Living Bibically“. No it’s not a religious book. I have been eyeing on that book when I came out in hard cover a few months back.

It’s about the author, A.J. Jacobs, documentation of his life for a year, living according to the way the Bible states it. He’s a not a Christian himself but he’s always amazed how influential the Bible is and why religion has become such a much talked about issue of the modern world. He followed the Bible as literal as possible including growing a Moses beard, not wearing clothes with mixed fabric and be fruitful and multiply (as the Bible states).

Initially I thought it was a book that poked fun at Christianity but at the end of his year he was very much amazed by this religion. I am just starting into the book and it’s getting real interesting and he’s a very witty writer, very, very entertaining.

It’s the eve of holidays, everyone’s off to enjoy. I am off to work soon which I don’t mind actually since it might be the last few shifts at Starbucks!
