Praise The Lord!!!!

This is what I feel like...like this video clip:



For those who don't understand Indonesian, I'll share this song instead. It's entitled "God is Able" by Smokie Norful:



Guess what? Yesterday I got a new job contract and this time it's a PERMANENT one!!! I did NOT expect that at all. I thought at the most, I'd only get an extension until the end of this year.

WOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! ;-D

WOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

THANK GODDDDDDDDDDDDD for the opportunity!!!!!!!

Never in my wildest dreams did it ever occur to me that I'd get a permanent job this fast...it's just beyond my comprehension...TRULY TRULY thankful for this opportunity...

Ahem...anyway, let me calm myself down a little he he...Today I went to visit my in-laws without hubby ('coz R2 has to work). I can't visit them on Sat 'coz I have an evening shift (from 12 until around 6.30 pm). It was the first time I had ever visited them on my own. Now that they spend most days in their new rented apartment, which is located nearby (only about 3 km from here), it's easier for me to visit them on my own 'coz I can reach their place by bike. Had fun talking with my MIL and sharing stories with her he he...

OK, now it's time to blog-hop 'coz tomorrow I've got to go to work (saying this while dancing around in joy). ;-D

Our 2nd Anniversary!

Today marks our 2nd wedding anniversary. Gee, how time flies!!! Last night my MIL sent us an SMS to congratulate us. She said she almost forgot about it he he he...I guess she thought it was yesterday, not today! So she wasn't late at all! She also said that next time we visit her, she'll have a cake to celebrate it. YIIIIPPPIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEE!!! I LOVE cakes! ;-D And I LOVE her!!!

Well, today I want to recount some of the blessings we've received ever since we got married.

1. My residence permit process took only 2,5 months (as opposed to the regular 3-4 months of processing) and we didn't even have to do ANY kind of interview.

2. R2 got a permanent job 3 months after I moved to Finland, exactly at the time when the apartment rent went up. HALLELUJAHHHH!!!!!

3. A full-time Finnish course started in Sodankylä for the first time ever!!! And that changed my life in many waysssss...especially as it meant that I'm more able to communicate with my beloved in-laws!

4. We were able to buy the plane tickets to Indonesia AND we still had enough money to pay for a short trip to Singapore. Never in our wildest dreams did we think that we could BOTH be going back to Indo SO SOON...never in our wildest dreams did we think that we could even have a honeymoon in Singapore!!!

5. We were able to witness the birth of Ken, my brother's baby, together at the hospital. WHOOOPPPPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

6. We have both supportive and loving parents and family who never meddle in our own affairs. What more can we ask for?

7. We have everything we need and more: a nice place to stay, food, warm clothes, love, health, happiness, serenity, peace of mind, harmony, caring friends (blogger and non-blogger alike), some savings for rainy days.

Bonbon, I love you more than I ever loved you before...I'm GLAD that our marriage has been smooth so far, but I'm not afraid if there are storms ahead or rains and sleet, since I know that you're the one with all my heart and soul. You're the one who always makes me feel good about myself. You're the one who brings up the best in me...for that, I thank you.

Cheers to (hopefully) many more loving and caring and fun years aheadddddddddd!!!!!!
