"I don't know what I want."

"My options are very wide."

"The things that I want to do are plenty."


These are what you would hear babbling out of my half pouting half smirking mouth if you were to ask me about my recent job hunt.


As I was graduating from Temasek Polytechnic, I had plans to sign on with the Navy as a Female Naval Officer. My second option was as a Prisons Officer. I always believed that everyone deserves a second chance.
Dreams started to get a little drifted and unrealistic - I decided to pursue a degree suddenly when I had sworn that I would never ever study again after graduating with a diploma. If you really want to know, I really ain't an academically inclined person and I could never take educational stress. I would get all so depressed and I could just break down halfway while studying. It has been this case for me since O'levels. Suck it. Studying just isn't my forte. =|


Now that I have graduated (though not officially) with my bachelor's degree, I'm seriously lost.
Not till a random bbm chat with a friend couple of weeks ago reminded me of my passion.
Since a uniformed career was apparently the least idealistic job one can ever hold for a sound future, why not a non-uniformed career in a uniformed environment. I get to be paid well, I get to work in an environment I have always had a thing for and most importantly, I get to keep my weekends. It sounds totally to me, the best of both worlds.
Since a long time, I finally felt a surge of adrenalin rush and excitement brewing within me.
At that point, I told myself, "Hey. This is probably what you want exactly."


Nonetheless, there were those who were blunt and discouraging without any hesitation. There were those who could really feel me and gave me moral support and encouragement. & of course, there were those who were simply neutral.
Above all, I followed my heart and gave it a go. After all, I hold no responsibility in the decision of hiring.


Here I am, with plans to pen down the brilliant start of the week with the legendary 8th of August and the very much anticipated week of events, yet finding my fingers on auto-pilot mode bringing the cursor to favorites before doing so.
To find that... .... Mmm.

As Alexander Graham Bell says, "When one door closes, another opens; but we often look so long and regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the one which has opened for us."


My supposedly anticipated week has no doubt became a tad dull.
I will try my best not to let it affect me. Meanwhile, I guess it's time to move on and start the hunt all over again. There's no need and no point for the wait anymore.


For now, to all TC Owners,
Stand, spread your arms and inhale when the night falls~
