Time flies... Its already 4 Jan. God has been really good -  I landed an internship with a mid-sized accounting firm with the Corp Finance department!  

I pitched myself forward as an intern, saying that I'll be willing to do it for 2 months at intern salary.  It was only after my "offer" that my director revealed the internship salary to be $600!  Arrgh!  Can't take it back now!  Still, he is an amazingly entrepreneurial guy, saying that there is a headcount freeze, but if need be, he's prepared to pay me out of his own pocket!  Looks like we're really sincere on both sides :)

This internship is a God given opportunity.  Definitely not going to work with a $600-a-month worker mentality.  Rather, I am really thankful for this opportunity to learn - afterall, my alternative is to sit at home and rot? ;-)  Time to bravely face my new reality...

On a brighter note, on Thurs night I did something new - I bought a nice bouquet flowers online and sent it to Bonn!  Tada...

 

Schön right?  Well,I thought it might do the job of bringing Mei a smile and spice up an otherwise possibly gloomy weekend with work looming in the near horizon (I totally know the feeling since I've totally slacked for 2 weeks and gonna start work on Mon too!)

Amazingly, it was safely delivered on Sat morning when she happened to be at home, and finally fixed her name to the correct doorbell just the day before!  Feedback - now they want monthly flowers?!!
