Enjoyable Trip to Bangkok... and Looking Ahead

Last 5 days I spent all the time (24 hours) with Q. I think this is the first time we spent so much time and personal time together! Thank God for putting together this trip with my parents. It was also the first time I travelled with them. It was shopping craze from start to end, and Q and I really bought many things for ourselves, friends and family. We visited several night markets and the endless stalls in the malls which sold dirt cheap stuff. More importantly we also spent precious time with my mum and dad. I was also very happy to see Q click so well with my mum, and both of them were talking and holding hands together and having an enjoyable time too. Q is right that we have to learn from our parents especially in the area of communication. Everything must be open, otherwise once we start having secrets worse things will follow. Nothing is more enjoyable than an open, trustworthy relationship and I hope I will nurture this with Q. Also I realized we have improved in our communications during the trip. Although here and there we miscommed, Q did not get mad, but rather just gave in to me. I would love to see more of this from her. She also came up with new nickname again, this time calling me "Boyfriend". Aiyoyo. I just love her more and more =) Looking ahead, I am only one week away from working! I am really apprehensive about this, and I need to trust God about this. I keep imagining to myself, whether I will struggle at work. Sometimes I imagine I will struggle with the technical work, especially with so many things to learn and handle. Sometimes I imagine I will struggle communicating with the adults, with so different worldviews. Sometimes I imagine I might get trapped in the politics happening there and be unhappy about work. Or I might have less time with Q once I start work, or get more tired easily and unable to do what I want. Work life will really be very different from study life when so much more is expected of you, and there is no way you can slack off. Also, I really need more discipline in my spiritual life to cope, especially when I will spend more than 12 hours working and travelling, and by the time I reach home most likely I will just want to rest. So pray for me, that I will trust God for this transition, work hard to build relationships with my colleagues, and also have a disciplined lifestyle to do my QT and other work.
