The Opera Populaire

Made an incredibly stupid administrative mistake today. And that is putting it mildly. You are a graduate, for goodness' sake! Don't you know how to read? And fill in something as simple as that?? The fact that I wasn't berated made me feel like kicking myself even more. I can't look at that thing anymore; I hope they take it away by tmr so that I can move on from this silly episode. I realise I suck at paper work. Not that it seriously impair my working abilities lar; it's just something I have been trying to work on, esp since my last job demanded a lot of organising of info.

Got a long-distance call from this company which interviewed me some time b4 I came back here. I had been rejected for the position, but they now have another almost similar opening and asked if I am interested. Hmm my feeling that they were actually interested in employing me were right after all. But I think that one of my goals in job search ever since graduation is to get away as much as possible from my comfort zone so that I can learn. As such, I am not considering some options out there, at least at this point in my life, however tempting some of them may be.

It's being reinforced again and again to me that, you must be clear what your objective is at the end of the day; dun let inconsequential stuff distract you. Hmm. The sad thing is that it's still not clear to me. I keep getting distracted by issues of obligation. Being "cosmopolitan" is not all it's cracked up to be sometimes. Yet I try to pray that God help me enjoy the detour, however hard it may be sometimes.

I have taken up music lesson and am surprised that I am enjoying it. Maybe when you are really lonely and bored everything becomes interesting hehe. In his enthusiasm, Dad actually bought me the instrument even b4 I began lesson proper! I know I'm a super grumpy daughter but yeah I do appreciate his love. Think his real objective is so that I can teach him later! :p
