Decisions and more decisions

Today is the day I am faced with a big decision to make. A decision that would change my life forever. Decision making is always tough. I tend to lose sleep over making decisions and today is a perfect example of one such day. I went for medical check up at raffles medical centre at north bridge road. The check up took pretty long, approximately 2 hrs or so. When it was finally my turn to meet the doctor, I realize he wasn't exactly as smart as how I imagine a normal doctor would be. I approached him about my split nails problem and he advised me to seek advice from a nail manicurist instead -_-". Perhaps I couldn't control myself and rolled my eyes at him. He proceeded on to mumble about other suggestions such as taking nail calcium tablets. Very smart indeed. I am sure it wasn't the issue of lack of calcium as one hand of mine has perfectly normal nails whereas the other hand seems to have nail problems.

For lunch, I decided to settle it at Coffee Bean within the hospital. The chicken pasta was so-so and wasn't fantastically nice for its price. What was enjoyable was the atmosphere, since I got to web-cam him with free wi-fi. Momentarily, it felt like he was just sitting across me, accompanying me to chill at the cafe. But of course, that wasn't the case.

At that time, I was wondering whether I ought to proceed on for an interview at the headquarter since I have already secured an analyst job then. Nonetheless, I followed my heart and decided to just attend the interview with an open heart and mind. In a way, it paid off, I guess. It was more of a getting to know you better session and he started plotting a career progression path for me. It sounded tempting, especially with an increment in pay that exceeded the pay for the current job that I had secured. Furthermore, I would be getting an advanced diploma in early childhood education, not that I am in need of such a certificate, considering that I do have a masters. Perhaps the most seducing temptation of all was the acknowledgement and appreciation of talent. The swiftness and openness in offering a pay that was actually pledged to my qualification, without even bothering to take a double check at my certificates. I know, I am shallow, but I do appreciate being appreciated at times. I am sick of hearing about how I lack working experience and therefore I have to be assigned to a fresh graduate pay. That is how society works, especially in the local scene. It works so well to crush fresh graduates' dreams, in particular, those who dare to dream big. It is ironic indeed.

And so, this is how I found myself wandered into the world of a mixture of children and political party, with a pending burden of an upcoming breaking contract penalty. A surprise to many and myself, but that's me.
