durian runtuh (small one lah!)

i got my paycheck for may 2 days ago. and it included a pleasant 'surprise' - an increment! since i had already resigned, i did not expect to be given an increment and my immediate superior had warned me earlier that i would forfeit the increment due to the resignation. because of the conditions attached to my job, i had to give three months' notice and can only leave at the end of the semester. if i had waited until the end of may to tender, then i would not be giving enough notice considering i wanted to leave at the end of july.

so although of course getting an increment would be nice, i thought, oh well - what to do? i want to do the right thing, and be fair to my boss who has to look for new staff to replace me when i leave. but lo and behold, i DID get an increment! hehe...and since it's backdated to jan 1, our paycheck this month included the arrears as well. and that little bit extra would come in handy - since i was wondering how i would be able to save up enough to pay for insurance and my uni fees next sem after i quit.

again, i'm amazed at how God provides faithfully. surely, He knows all our needs :)
