I got some disappointing news on a job I applied for internally within my company. I did not get it. I took it well at that point in time, but realised later how really depressed I felt about not getting the job. It was a job that was suppose to take me far far away from here, meet new people, learn new cultures and provide for my family really well. That plan didn’t go too well now did it!
So I haven’t blogged, until NOW! I was not sure how to pen it down, my disappointment. Or what was it that I actually felt. I feel like my career has come to a halt and I’ve no clue where I’m heading. Fortunately, I’ve already started talking to my bosses on other opportunities, but nothing seems to be drawing me towards anything I want to do and no right opportunities seem available. So I’m hanging in there.
My current project is at it’s peak and I’m devoting my weekend to completing my work so that I feel really good on Monday having covered all I need to do, for now that is.
Well, other than disappointment that I’ve been coping with, I went to my first real house party. You know like those American teenage parties, where people get drunk, make out till wee hours of the morning all over the place. It was fun, but I only made out with my hubby! And also, I was trying to be the DJ except that the choice available really wasn’t to my taste!
Then I got sick, and I’ve been sick for more than a week. It got really bad for the past 3 days and I feel dizzy, tired, weak, lost my voice but still there’s work to do right, so life goes on.
I’m able to cope with the disappointment thanks to my really small tiny seed of faith in God and lots of books for me to read. Not too long ago, I blogged A Saturday, where I bought 3 books. I’ve read 2 of them and the 3rd one I’ll get to later. I started instead on a book my friend gave me which is absolutely perfect looking at the current state of my feelings.
Book 1: Two Kinds of Wonderful by Isla Dewar
Review: Very entertaining, total chick flick book with a down to earth touch of how life really is and to take it one day at a time. Love the humour.
Book 2: The Earthquake Bird by Susanna Jones
Review: A mystery book that ended really weird. Good mystery but not so good an ending.
Book 3: Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert
Review: Still not done with this, but love it already!

hey nat, i remember that can of disappointment. i was hit pretty badly some 4-5 years ago when my boss rejected my request to further my studies. it was quite brutal because i needed the employer's release letter to do my masters in engineering. but as i look back, it was God opening my eyes to see whom i could trust... only Him alone. and today, i'm getting my double masters... i believe, also, at a time when i am actually ready for it.
thanks Sara for that encouragement. You surely are my sister soulmate! hahaha, if you know what i mean!
