well, i'm back this time to work & i guess it does feel different in a way... there's this certainty that i'm actually staying in this country for the next few years at least. it felt really different when i was here the last few times for studies + holidays.. there was always this sense of urgency. urgency to keep on doing things, with the fear that i wouldn't be able to do them before i left. but now, there's just no hurry.. it is a lot more enjoyable cause i can do things at my own pace. as w.h davies said: "What is life if full of care, if we have no time to stop & stare". i get to appreciate seoul a whole lot more now. n not just for the shopping itself.
headed down to the office this morning to sign some documents & was pleasantly surprised by the lovely office building & its working environment. i had expected something close to that of HL building, or perhaps DBS tower at best, but the posh-ness of the office was definitely more than what i had expected. :) will try to put up pictures of the interior soon! managed to snap a picture of the exterior though.. (will post up pictures once i get them!) was supposed to go for an impromptu lunch with my whole dept, but couldnt' as becky was with me! i suspect that they were all waiting for me to go downstairs... *whoops* but i'll still have my 'welcome' lunch when i start work on the 1st day. :) will be going for orientation on the 3rd & 4th before starting work officially on the 5th!

reflections
and so, as 2010 is drawing to a close, its always apt to look back upon the year & see how things have turned out.
truly, this was the year of Restful Increase. managed to achieve 2 of my aims & i hope to achieve the remaining 3 next year! the year has passed by at a considerably constant pace. it was also a year of change. for me at least. stepping out of my comfort zone into something familiar, but yet unknown. i wouldn't say that my past 2 years in a***t has been all that bad. it did allow me a chance to grow & see the good & not so good sides of people. but of course, the good was more than the bad. made many new friends, friends whom i hope i'll still keep in contact with for many years to come. and let this be the foreshadowing of more good things to come! ^^
but of course, life always has its ups & downs. its how you take the downs that matter the most. there were times when i thought that it was almost impossible, but God always came through miraculously, meeting ALL my personal deadlines & criteria. seriously, i was almost going to give up, but He came through. :)
2011 is gonna be an even better year ahead & i can't wait to see what He has in store for me! cause i know that it is & it will be good! ^^
