I was in a job hunting frenzy (sending out resumes to different contacts of the same agency given by different sources almost equals to desperation) ever since i arrived in SG. I took a hiatus in December and had been thoroughly enjoying myself with the leisurely routine of waking up and worrying about nothing except for groceries.
However, i miss being able to splurge or buy something that i want without depending on another person. And i do hate the big capital DEPENDENT on my pass. I want a bank account so badly to feel a sense of belonging. And i want to be able to go and pursue all my hobbies without being told i have a limit in spending. Or be reminded that i'm spending too much. That word of 'overspending' actually has never occurred in my life as i'm a thrifty person but when one person is providing for two, then the word seems to be naturally exist in a weekly conversation.
So, I tried 2 times. I struck 2 times. Never mind, during the waiting period of another interview call, I enhance my own knowledge by subscribing to numerous digital blogs. I improved my culinary preparation skills and am getting faster in preparing a 30 min meal although the cooking still lacks finesse or has too much salt. I also studied for the Google Adword Exam (goodness, how boring the rows and rows of words are, it definitely could use more engaging and compelling descriptions to get the reader hooked. Even the video is boring because it is narrated in a very formal way, reminds me of lectures) and its exam guide has very solid explanations which helped warm my homemaker mind up to the digital marketing world again which i appreciate. Still another paper to go before i'm certified.
While i'm doing all these things, another lady is hard at work connecting me with the right job fit and even went all the way as in to help me understand the local culture better prior to getting job interview. She has been superbly helpful and kind and her motivation in taking up several interesting hobbies together with her busy work life helps me realize that i need to have more discipline to pursue the interests which i've always yapped about but not trying hard enough.
With her help and connection, i got a job interview. I might be getting a job offer as the vibes are positive. It is a contractual job but it might turn out to be a permanent one. The future is not even certain for the organization so change could be very welcoming, one that i don't mind being swept along so that i have a chance to swim with everyone else.
Sail with the tide, but always keep your hands and mind full of positive interests.
She shared with me this quote which i'll keep it to heart:
“I began to realize how important it was to be an enthusiast in life. He taught me that if you are interested in something, no matter what it is, go at it at full speed ahead. Embrace it with both arms, hug it, love it and above all become passionate about it. Lukewarm is no good. Hot is no good either. White hot and passionate is the only thing to be.”
