Santos!
For the past 2 days had been very exciting for me to start working in Santos. Though I get home tired but there is a sense of satisfaction. =D
I got allocated to my desk today and meet my project leader. Surprisingly:
(i) I’ve got my name printed on my desk! Woohoo! Feel kinda welcomed and accepted though I’m just a 2nd year noob.
(ii) I’ve got my name displayed on the phone! (Yes I know I’m jakun)
(iii) I’ve got a lap top that I can bring home and an extra monitor for me to multitask! (Yes, even more jakun)
My project leader is from Brunei originally and has been working in Santos for 20+ years. It is really God’s divine blessing and intervention that I have a leader above me that is from the same culture as me and that I can speak the normal Malaysian accent (Not that I have an Aussie accent) to the one I’m reporting to. He is a really nice guy in his late 50’s maybe, with a very wide and friendly smile.
A quick snap of the view of the company from my desk before I left today.
Everything in work is going on smoothly and I’m excited to what is coming. However still, my darling went home to Malaysia today. I’m already missing her like crazy and this will go on for another 3 months! How I wish I have the ability to teleport so that I could teleport back and forth between Adelaide and Malaysia so that I can meet Shee Laine, eat mamak and then come back here and work.
She’s the one I love and miss the most
WHAT ON EARTH!?!?!?!?!

I have a humongous God
My God is great!
I got the long awaited offer letter from Santos this afternoon and I got a shock of my life when I look into the commencement date on it. This is not a pleasant one. It stated they only offer me for 2 weeks of work. My heart sank immediately. I was told that I will have a 10-weeks offer! What happened? What am I supposed to do for the rest of the summer after that 2 weeks? All these anxiousness and questions arose at an instance in my heart.
However I felt different this time. Despite of all this, I can sense very strongly that God is saying, “Trust in me and stand strong no matter what happens.” So I said a quick prayer and then went across the walk way into Shee Laine’s room. I told her what happened and she immediately hugged me and comfort me. She is always so encouraging and comforting. After that we prayed together. And even when we are praying, I can feel the sense of peace and security by God. Laine told me the same and assured me everything will be fine after praying for me.
Soon after that, I got another email from Santos, with another attachment. This time it is another offer letter, but with the offer duration of 10 weeks! Praise the Lord! He heard our prayers. Indeed, when God said that He will take care of us, He will make a way for every blessing. A big thank you to Jesus and also my dear Laine for praying for me! =D
Huh?
One afternoon in the midst of all the week 12 hassles and stress from the coming exams, and also depressions from all the overdue assignments, my phone suddenly rang from a private number. I thought it was Somkid but the voice from the other end of the phone was a woman’s voice. That’s surprising. To cut the long story short, I got an offer for summer internship in Santos, one of Australia’s oil and gas production company. I’m not sure about this but I always thought of Santos as a very prestigeous company. Seniors always tell us how hard it is to get a job there. This is a pleasant surprise for me. Thank you Jesus for your blessings to me, even something that I’m not worthy of receiving it. Your grace surpasses everything. Indeed when God tells you not to worry during your time of anxiousness, He will work something out for you. Hehe.. =D
