Tourniquet



Questions.
Sydney.
eBay.
Friendster.
Retrospect.

What have i been doin? Where am i headin to??
Sometimes, reflectin on the situations i'm in, i do not know whether to thank God if tis path was beautifully made or should i be worryin that i might juz end up in disappointment & regret. Quarter century yet here i am, jobless, tryin to get motivated to soldier on to prepare for my test and upcomin exams, while others are buildin up their careers, savin up money for the future.

I suddenly miss the little luxuries that i used to be able to afford n pay for myself. Even buyin myself a dress seems like a guilty indulgence with what lil money i make from some dance classes before the school holidays kicked in. Did i make a wrong move by quittin my full-time job and layin low as a part-time/freelance employee at such age? Would people employ me, an older graduate compared to the young ones, who are wide-eyed, brilliant & motivated?? Been browsin n tryin for new job opportunities in my specialised field, usin my Diploma qualifications, so far no response. It's worryin, probably bad timin too.

I've always been optimistic abt things, confident of my decisions. But when the thoughts of livin on a budget n lookin at others travellin the world, workin with the Big Wigs, man i feel so minute, so inapt n doubts start to creep in my head.

This is, if God wills, my last semester attendin lectures in school. I HAVE TO put an end to this slack mannerism & PUT IN THE DAMN EFFORTS to EARN grades, it's about time i get SERIOUS instead of remainin frivolous, goin with the flow. I want a good future career & MONEY big time. I cannot afford anymore time loss n seriously i need a Drive.

Wise up & Get Organised, It's not too late!
God, hold my spirit high...I need ur Salvation...in tis path less travelled that i have chosen.


Oh Btw, CONGRATS MESYE for the Good News. I'm Proud of U~

  3. Well sis, aren't you miss out anything? Well I saw something meaningful here. That why God create these paths for you. Without knowingly, God has reminded you to retreat of your past doing. Lucky for you. You are bless with The thought. Here is where your adulthood starts. Take pride in how far you have come, have faith in how far you can go. Learning never stops till death come. So, welcome back to the real life. Go and get a change to your new outfit and start an afresh begining. Welcome Back.

  9. Everything will come naturally. Its a matter of when its gonna kick in. Unfortunate thing is, we live in a very competitive country.
    Rezeki tuhan itu dimana sahaja. Kita yg perlu berusaha sendiri. Selamat berjuang kawanku.

  10. And especially when u work in a very competitive office... Things wont work out that well most of the time. One thing, I was stupid when I was a naive young man. I always tot the recruitment says it all, I fall under the trap then me got stuck. I regretted for not listening to my seniors...

    I wish u all the best Princess Sophie!

  11. hey dudes, thanx for the well-wishes!
    I wish u guys the best in ur lil struggles (work/life/family etc) too.
    it's all abt the effkin EFForts & that effkin $$!
    DUIT= (D)oa (U)saha (I)stiqamah (T)awakkal i guess it works in that specific order yeah?

    ReplyDelete
  12. Yup-yup. DUIT = Doa, Usaha, Ikhtiar & Tawakkal =)

    For me, how I envy those who have the ability/capability to further their studies. Haven't we always been encouraged to seek knowledge kak? Yes, maybe for better living means but also more importantly to stimulate our minds. Just my thoughts.... Insyallah, you rezeki will be there... So let's not worry on His plans as of yet. =)

    P/S: I thot torniquet is the thingy that Sirius wore in Da Vinci Code to constantly remind him of Jesus' pain? it causes bleeding kan? Hmm...

  13. true true true...i share that opinion, that's y i'm tryin hard to stop myself from slackin n laggin! *TOUGH* ish...it's like the more i think i'm gonna finish my course, the more lemak i become...i need some kind of trigger to start off my revision. somehow lookin at my friends' friendster profiles n photos & online shoppin on eBay put me back in perspective, abit. i felt so pathetic abt myself that i wanna get back on track n jump into career soon, ASAP. i miss 13th month bonus time n gettin christmas goodies! some people think it's absurd...but bein able to earn my own money, the feelin is Empowerin! i miss that n i want it back. enuff of smellin the roses already, i wanna get dirrrty!
