First Blog of 2007

I have not updated my blog for a long time. Not because there is nothing happening in my life, rather things are happening so fast that I dunno how to start.

The last month of 2007 saw me changing to a new job, one that bring me closer to my new career goal. I am back to public service and now dong a job that has a confusing title. These days, I just introduced myself as a social worker, which is inappropriate because first, I am not social work trained and second, this is really not a social worker job scope. Alternatively, I called myself social welfare officer since I basically do assessment on clients and decide if they should be helped financially. As expected, when I said I am a social worker, people asked if I am paid for the job. When I said I am social welfare officer, they struggled to understand the term that is somewhat more commonly used in the 1980s when, social workers, counselors, medical social workers and welfare officers are all lumped into one - Welfare Department, largely due to the lack of understanding on these jobs.

These days, I see and hear more stories than I can imagine. So much I can make a mini series just after two days of duties. But I am not going to talk about the cases here, since it is confidential and unethical for me to do so. Job front, I think I am doing fine and catching up fast. Most of the aunties are busy checking on my marital status so that they can introduce their daughters to me. I really rather know their sons. And again, they think I just graduated from university studies.

Love life is practically zero except for occasional dinners dates and random online chats. It is like my love life in ice age and nothing is growing. I wondered why my friends are moving in and out and in of relationship in lightning speed. I like to think I am busy with my studies but I am not.

Okie... I am tired now and should sleep. I am in the midst of putting a series of photos together. It is like a mini project for myself and it span over 2007 and 2008. Nothing fanciful but I am finding it very meaningful.
