Good News

I was finally out with Anisah last night after 5 months of being home. And to add to that, it was only my second outing with friends since after Vanessa, Sharon and Ada left for UK in September. Sad life, I know! I guess it's mainly because I've been feeling lazy to drive out as well.

We (Anisah, Ali [Anis's boyfriend], Adeq and I) hung out at this I-don't-remember-the-name cafe which is located at Madang Complex. It was good to finally be able to catch up with her. However, I felt that we could've chatted more if not for Soul Plane showing on Star Movies. Good news from her family: Her elder brother is getting married soon. Congratulations!

I feel like we're so grown up now that we're working or soon-to-be-working adults. Anisah will be doing her Teaching Practice at Sayyidina Hassan Secondary School (Did I get this right? I keep forgetting even though you've reminded me repeatedly what the name of the school is!) on 17th January. Adeq is a helicopter pilot with Shell - how cool is this?! While I, on the other hand, will be an English teacher at STPRI commencing this 11th of January. I'm so excited and yet so terrified! Any advice on what to do and what not to do, etc?

Even though it is good news that I've now got a job with the Ministry of Education, I'm kind of hoping that I'll get a call from the Ministry of ___. It would be such a dream come true for me if I could get that job albeit being more stressful than what teaching may be like.

Another good news - I'll be getting a new car soon! I've confirmed my booking with the dealer and have signed for hire purchase with HSBC. Everything is now settled except for the arrival of the car. Then the pocket draining shall start in early March for SEVEN years to go! Wohoo!

I guess you can say that all good things come with a cost...
