Coolcat's Jottings

My ex-boss called me a few days ago. It was nice to hear from him. And I was glad that we could talk like we were friends. Previously, there was this invisible wall between us but now, it's gone.

He asked how my new job was and I just answered honestly from my heart, "It's a perfect fit for me. It's like finding my soul mate whom I've been looking for all my life."

Not a day passes that I did not think to myself, how blessed I am to be given this opportunity and seeing how my labor is appreciated just makes my heart sing even more. I did ask God, "Why did I only meet my 'soul mate' now?" But the answer is not for me to know. Not yet anyway. And it really doesn't matter. Now that I'm here at long last - my childhood dream fulfilled. A writer.

Someone pinch me.

I received an sms and read it when my hands were free.

"Hey... I see you busy taking pictures of half naked men wearing watches! The first chap looked pretty yummy." (refer to pic of said yummy looking man above)

Oooops, busted. By my ex-colleague no less. Dang, I hoped he didn't catch me drooling on the job. I dabbed discretely at the corners of my mouth, just in case.

What can I say? At times, my job requires that I shoot half naked men as they prance on stage, and sometimes I even get to meet hot personalities such as one F1 champ, Kimi Raikonnen. With the latter, I discovered that it was the guys who were most envious of me.

With the erratic hours that I put into the job, I say it is only fair that I get to feast on some eye candy. And I'm not about to feel guilty about it.

So there

Hi all! Some of you may be wondering how I'm doing in my new job change.

Well, in my first week of work, I've re-written a couple of press releases, wrote advertorials, letters, reviewed a fine dining restaurant (free food @ a lovely place!!!) and interviewed and wrote someone's profile for the magazine. I typed this bit out in Gloria Jeans before I attend a fashion show.

Yep, it's a drastic change from what I used to do and I have much less free time on my hands but at least I wake up from my bed with a bounce these days.

And that makes all the difference.

Holiday's over and it's off to work I go. Not much time to blog this weekend. Will post more Bali photos later. Here's one taken at the place we stayed in Ubud. I still miss living so close to the green green paddy fields and the peace and tranquility of the simple country life.

I'm back from Bali and nope, couldn't make it in time to vote But as the votes are being counted and publicized, I am amazed and happy at the winds of change happening in our political scene. Yes indeed, we the rakyat can make a difference.

I hope to wake up to more good news.

Nites (or rather, morning!)

Updates:

I did indeed wake up to great news! May the new victors form a godly and just government for the benefit of the people. People power rules!
