Time flies

It's more than a month since I last made an entry. So many obstacles have occurred that I was almost overwhelmed. In fact not many, but really major one - where MOE rescinded my contract for some obvious discrimination. So much so that I am really hoping that I will land myself a job overseas one day and never to return to Singapore. So I shall gain a few years of working experience, visit the temple more often to accumulate better karma, and try my luck.

Passion or money? Which one will you work for?

Money is indispensable.
Money is power.
Money can buy happiness.
And in Economics, we learn that "money makes the world go round."

Suddenly, I am engulfed by the above notions that I am losing sight of my passion - my passion for the tourism industry. Transition in life is always difficult. I'm too settled in the life of a student. For the first time I am faced with the questions of how to start repaying my school loans, take charge of my personal finance and contribute to household. These questions were never tested as far as I remember. And more difficult question that I have been asking myself since the last day of school - should I switch industry?

If I switch industry, will it also mean going against the course of my life map? Alas! I should have consulted Goddess of Mercy on this...

Time flies and soon I'll be starting work on 1 August 2011. I need to set my mentality right before I start, so that I can carrying with me a positive attitude towards my work. I have always wanted to be a good employee. But I am quick to pose my idea that may challenge authority. Since I am starting my career proper, it is time that I set the right foot forward.

Bangkok here I'm coming. Visiting the Four-Faced Buddha is the primary purpose of this trip. And I have done my research on the correct method of praying. Somehow I wish I am less detail-oriented, so that I can go with the flow! And sometimes how I wish I resemble less of my mother who is a constant worrier!
