The Most Wonderful Time of the Year
Dear Blog,
It's a nice way to start the beginning of the end of year.
Last Saturday, someone gave a public acknowledgement of thanks to me for making the "connection" for him and his bride, in church! Haha! Naturally, it came as a surprise, nevertheless, a pleasant one :) Good thing I was dressed up for the occasion, haha! I vaguely remembered how I made the connection... It was a mention of a name, a simple introduction... and some help along the way.
And the rest, as SDU puts it, is up to them :) Nice to know that they are the fruition of my unknowing friend-friend introduction. After the service, and during dinner the same night, I became a 大红人. People were calling me, "Matchmaker" and "媒人". There were calls for me to start a matchmaking ministry and the like.. which I was like.. Er.. ok... I know you are all joking... RIGHT?
Fortunately, the comment didn't carry too far the next day. There was only a lady who looked back to me before service and mouthed to me "媒人". Wittingly, I told her "Nah, 美人！" and sheepishly smiled. She said, "媒人 and 美人!"
Hahaha... But seriously, I don't intend to make myself a ministry out of that. I prefer to do it underground. That way, pressure is not on me, neither is it on anyone.
Then, today, I hear a most wonderful news I haven't hear in years. The company would like to reward us with a month's bonus. Of course mine's pro-rate lah.. But still it's good news. My colleague was telling me, must be who brought them good luck. Haha.. Nah... I think God bless those he love and those near them.
The director of the Christmas Shoes and another thanked me yesterday for the card. Then my boss commented that the card I did for Christmas Shoes looks good, so does the Mouse Christmas one. Relieved! I've been looking at them for weeks and I really don't see anything special about them. To have someone from the profession commented that they look good. At least that brings comfort.
It was a difficult year. But thank God, it ended with a fine note. Now I can happily get presents to thank those who have helped along the way.
Then, there's the company dinner at Brewerkz next week, christmas at boss's house, holiday in January, translation course starting the following week, chalet on the 3rd week...
Boy, isn't it a Most Wonderful Time of the Year!
