hello friday!! it's been a week and i am more on my ground now. where do i start, it's been a week.

action packed week.

emotional week. (filled with anger and joy)

decision week.

but everything and decision work out for me. i was scolded by my boss in my current project like a dog on tuesday, for the things that i have not done and things that i have evidents of that either his executive assistant or himself had mixed up. but he trashed his temper and anger on me, first on the phone early in the morning and later in the meeting in front of six other colleagues. also on the same day, i had a phone interview with my client in tokyo, and he accepted me for the project.

i told my boss the next day that i am rolling off from this project as of friday (today). it was not a surprise to him and we ended the brief meeting peacefully.

i had lot of frustration dealing with the team that working on my visa application. but finally they sent out all the paper that i needed for visa application today. my accommodation in tokyo is also arranged.

i have been busy in finishing off my work, transitioning to my team, trying to find a replacement for my current role (with no luck), so the team is going to be without leadership for awhile, but it is no longer my problem.

i started now with packing. it is hard to pack for such a two months business trip. all the business suits that have been neglected and hanging in my wardrobe finally have the chance to put on the show. i guess the business attire is the same as hong kong, where there is a saying "first respect the outfit of a person before paying respect to the person itself", in other word, i have to dress for the occasion. after years in the lowland i have adopted the laid back business outfit but it's good for a change.

the experience of this week is certainly a reflection because God is actually working on great things for me. what seems to be the worst moment actually turns out to be good. i may be being scolded like a dog and lost my dignity at one hand, yet i am retreating in glory, in victory in fact, i am not defeated! now i am on an expatriate term to tokyo. i couldn't believe it when i saw the service apartment that has been reserved for me, i almost dropped my jaws. a city skyscraper in the heart of tokyo minato-ku. with a spa and swimming pool on 44th floor and a look out to the tokyo skyline. what else can i ask for more. i don't deserve all these but my Lord raise me up and i am a kingly child of God.

if everything goes well, next week this time i should be already in tokyo. and i

here are the last few sketches of kyoto. i hope i will continue to sketch when i am in tokyo.
