Still remember the interview I blogged not too long ago. This morning I was called to the President Office and I got a letter from the president. I know that something is about to happen and but I was still taken by surprise as that was a salary adjustment letter. My salary got adjusted and the amount is more that what I could have expected. I really thank God for providing for my family in such an unexpected way. Thank you Father.
Now is the third week into my study, so far so good. But begining next week, assignments will start to come in. At the mean time, i am still struggle with the thesis title as i still have no idea what to do with the research… the problem is basically very simple, in order to do research, you have to research first…
By the way, i have been spending my time in the forum run by our church members. My footprints are all over that forum thus i will have even less time to come back to my own journal. However, i will be back from time to time. If you really miss me, try to look for me there as i think that forum is a better place to make myself useful… :^)
i have registered my Ph.D study on last friday and this week is the first week of attending lectures. i am taking two subjects this semester and hopefully i will be able to manage them by at least scoring B for those subjects.
Yen’s study is not going well and with both of us engaged in studying, i am rather worry whether we will be able to give enough attention to Grace. i guess this is another new chapter in my life where i have to study with a kid attached.
I was called for an interview on my application to be promoted to a higher grade. There were 5 persons in the panel, the senior HR manager, HR executive, Registrar, VP academic and the Dean. Here is part of the interesting conversation we had.
Sr HR manager: Why do you think we should promote you?
My reply: Why shouldn’t I be promoted?
Dean: Do you think that you have been ill treated by the company?
My reply: Those who have been promoted earlier than me, I will just consider they are luckier than me and I would not say that I am not lucky. I am thankful for what I have.
Registrar: Why do you apply for the promotion?
My reply: Because everybody is applying for it.
Sr HR Manager: What are the contributions you have given to the company?
My reply: Please define contribution. As far as I know, I have no contribution at all as whatever thing that I am doing and not doing are stated in the appointment letter. That means my service here is being paid for and thus no contribution at all.
Dean: I think you weakness is you don’t know how to speak in a diplomatic way.
My reply: Yes, I have been here for 9 years just doing lecturing, I am not good at that kind of game. So, do you think I will get the promotion?
It is now a real dilemma for me as I am being offered the post of department head by my company but the department is in such a state that nobody would want to be the head voluntarily. When the president offered me the post last week and I said I would be willing to be the head if they were able to get to coordinators to help me. I was thinking that it is impossible for them to get the coordinators but somehow they manage to do that. It did blow me away when I learned that.
If I am to be the head, the commission would start beginning of next month and I can see that the current head is already taking his sweet time in handling things. I sure hope one of the coordinators would pull out of the deal and then I can reject the offer saying that I cannot manage the head post while I am doing Ph.D and be the head at the same time without the coordinators.

finally, my PhD application is approved after 3 months of waiting. But there is a small problem attached with the package as the appointed supervisor is not the one that i want. i am trying to contact the supervisor that i want but until now i am still not able to reach him. here comes another headache…
It has been two and a half month since I send in my application for Ph.D but I still waiting for the result of the application. Somehow the internet portal of the university that I used to check the status of my application is not working. I believe that the result will be out any minute now.
Yen told me that she is having problem with the progress of her study and asked me for opinion. hmm… that is really interesting… let me see… i am now in the midst of applying for Ph.D and she most probably will take forever to finish her DBA…
this is not happening as i already mentioned to her that she either has to concentrate on study or working and she had to choose one. but after all these years, she is working on both. so… i guess i just have to go on with my Ph.D regardless Yen is doing well or not.
Today is the first day of the semester break. That means I have about two weeks to myself after all the marking of final examination papers and related administration works. The first thing I have to do is to come out with a proposal for my Ph.D enrollment application. The other thing that I plan to do is to give more thoughts on the theology that I have started.
So, I guess I have pretty much sure of what I am going to do in the next five years. I am also sure that Grace will be doing just fine during my years of study. But I am a bit worry about myself and I am actually showing the sign of regression already. Anyhow, I believe if I give me best to what I am doing, God will do the rest.
I guess it is the darkest time in my life that I really don’t know what to do next. I thought of starting my PhD this year and somehow there are reasons around to keep me stay put. Since I have been dragging the thing for so long, whether those are reasons for not going forward or just excuses for procrastinating is really vague to thing about.
Yen just started to work fulltime again beginning of this year. Not even one week in the office, she already felt sick. She already has a study to worry about and now there are many backlogs left in office for her. Our schedules have to be readjusted and everything seems okay so far.
