The last month and interview for the future

So, I've just had a job interview two days ago in Bangkok. Whether it is a good sign or not, at least I enjoyed the interview. Maybe it was because I knew at least 5 of the 7 members on the panel! Yes, it was that many people conducting the interview. Will mention the organisation when I hear the decision - whichever way it goes.

I found out about the vacancy a few months ago and it was exciting for me, because I was excited by the opportunity that came with job. I knew I was getting a bit too comfortable with being on my own, and doing things at my own pace. I needed the time and space but think that its time to get out into the big world and do something.

So, the job would be in Bangkok. If anything it will be exciting politically:) As a friend said, its always history in making in Bangkok! For many years, I've contemplated working and living in either Bangkok or Jakarta....or for that matter, Cape Town, Melbourne, Kathmandu....so it came as naturally as it could. In the first week of contemplating the application, I've browsed property sites to check out apartments and other possibilities for living there. Anyway, I think Bangkok is a refuge for many Malaysian activists too so it won't be lonely:)

More details when I know what will happen next:)

I'll be on my way to Denmark on Wednesday and already have work plans in Brussels in the first week of October and to Paris to crash in in Jen's place for a few days. Hope to see as many people I can in Denmark but that's going to be tough - so many people, so little time! Looking forward to going to the island of Aeroe with mum-in-law to experience the island that's the central location of the book by Carsten Jensen - We the Drowned.

The good news is that Mathias and Maizura will be married next year! Congratulations to the couple:) We had the opportunity to meet Maizura's family over Ramadan and Hari Raya and are very happy with the very warm and nice family. Now its for the "kids" to make the plans, so looking out for kompang/mridangam/dhol players to accompany the groom:) Kirstine left exacly a week ago and by the sound of it Sakariya has adjusted well after the travel - he'll be a well-travelled boy:)

So, hopefully more information about the job interview in the very near future, otherwise you'll be reading more of my trip in Europe!
