Shi-iki

Today I report for my first day of work at Takashimaya. This is a flower shop at Basement 1 called Shi-iki. I think it's japanese though I have no clue if the boss is Japanese or Thai or Vietnamese. She doesn't look Japanese but she sounds like Japanese.

I am both excited and a little nervous. I hope I can impress the boss and do well. I need God on my side to give me strength and confidence and of course... ability to do well.

God has been good. I recently 'adopted' a kid under the Living Waters Village project and I dedicated $40/month even though I do not have a full time job/income. But praise be to God... I just realised today, after doing my quiet time, that Shi-iki decided to hire me and I think God was the mastermind behind it. He provided me some income so I won't have to worry about my monthly 'adoption' donation.

I forgot to mention... actually Shi-iki rejected me the first time after my interview saying she already hired someone more experienced. That happened almost a month ago or more. I got a call from her on Monday this week and she offered me the job saying there was a vacancy. So I guess that lady quit, or someone did.

And I pledged the donation 2 weeks ago on Sunday. Isn't that marvellous? I really hope this little bit of income will help... but more importantly, that I can learn a lot and gain the exerience I need to build up my self confidence in this floral business.
