yes it has been a while since i last posted, work has been insane.

i recently recommended an ex colleague who was out of work for a bit and she got the job. she was initially, ever so grateful. after two weeks i am not sure any more, judging by the stress lines on her face! oh did i mention that work was insane? plus the fact that my couple of weeks have been turned on it’s head by major events, which are, thankfully slowly and surely returning back to normal.

but having said all this, i still feel incredibly blessed!

a few months back a friend recommended that i call up this person who was looking to fill a position in a japanese company. i did, there were chats and i was pretty sure that i was a shoe-in for the post. at the last minute i got news that they gave the job to a singaporean counterpart. i must say i was a tad disappointed as i was eager for a change, job-wise.

then a month back, jloh was having severe cramps and pains and she finally consulted with the doctors who recommended major surgery. on the 13th of last month she underwent a 2 hr op and stayed at the hospital
for a total of 9 days.

now the company i work for had insurance coverage for spouse and children but i was not really certain how much the ceiling amount was. so you can imagine my trepidation while waiting for the bill. it didn’t help that they took forever to get it out! but when it finally did i breathe a sigh of relief as the insurance covered RM14K and the total was about RM15,600. the best part was that follow-up visits were also covered! a big PHEW!

so jloh is recuperating at home and i got to use the car. and the uncanny thing about it all was that at the very same week that she was going in for the op, a friend was wanting to have someone take over his club membership(he has had the membership for well over 8 years and have never stepped into it! and he dutifully paid the monthly fees for the entire period of time!) the club as just next to the office where i worked and i had wanted to go back to the gym for so long now.

kismet? hmmm.

serendipity? probably not.

divine intervention? bingo!

so looking back, i guess the Big Guy does move in mysterious ways and i am now so glad i did not get the job. sometimes you have to look at everything as a blessing in disguise, no matter how disappointing they may seem at that moment. and when you take time to reflect and connect the dots, you’d realise that things do happen for a reason. you know that silver lining in every cloud they are always talking about?
it really exists.
