~Been away for a while~

Guess I've been away for sometime but I've been kept happy by work albeit rather busy.
Nothing much happened to me apart from some changes be it good or bad.
A couple of weeks back, there was a new arrival in my family and since her coming, the household have been spilling our attention on her. Even for myself I have been buying things for her instead of myself. That isn't too bad cause it takes away the self-centered-ness in me. :) Other than the new arrival at home, the remaining changes are:
1) I had a change of my keyboard instructor. For some who know I have been learning at this school "Play by Ear" since the beginning of this year and within just this year alone, till date I had changed 2 instructors. My first instructor resigned. As for my 2nd one, i requested for the change. (oops! it wasn't very nice) but the reason I wanted a change was because I wanted an instructor who is able to teach me mandarin pop songs. But guess what! Besides being able to teach me Mandarin pop songs, my instructor is a christian as well who plays for his church and so...he is able to teach me how to play praise & worship songs. So blessed right. To add on to that he felt that it was a waste of time for me to be at level 1 and therefore promoted me to level 2. :)
2) This is the 6th month with my current company and yes..it's confirmation time. Seriously, I love my job but of course with loving my job it comes with stress. Afterall, mine is a sales job and there are targets to meet every month. I must say I should be glad there wasn't a single month whereby I didn't close anything but there was a month whereby my numbers was particularly low. (all thanks to the "thing" that happened in June/July). I must admit that there were times whereby I asked God if this was where He wants me to be. Or should I just go back to my old profession and if this is what He wants me to be doing, then let me see my numbers cause at the end of the day, sales = numbers! You have your numbers, you stay. You don't have, you go. It's cruel but yet it's reality. I am glad God gave me relatively good numbers for th month of September and October and i finally did my confirmation on Friday. :) So what's next up in the coming days?
The key thing for me in the next 6 months is to be able to establish myself in my field of work. Trying not to be too ambitious, doing what is potentially beyond my means, I didn't dare plan too far ahead. Now the pressure is on to build and bill. The laughters will make it easier...
