in my previous post, i mentioned about something that i was anticipating.
about one or two weeks ago, i was in a very miserable state. i've sent out numerous of job applications for nearly 2 months but nothing came back. i was feeling quite upset and depress, and that was why dar decided to fly over here to spend some time with me. at the same time to celebrate our anniversary together. with him flying over really wasnt part of our initial plan. just right after he made the decision to fly over, i felt so much better. because there'll something for me to look forward to everynight i go to bed.
i received a call the next day. i was asked to go for a job interview. finally, after so much efforts. but i kept myself cool, constantly reminding myself that it's just an interview and that i shouldn't put my hopes high. i didnt tell anyone except my sisters and the bf. i thought i want to wait till everything's over before telling anyone. afterall, it's really just an interview. wait, actually not really, it's my freakin first job interview in my whole life wtf.
some may feel what is there to be so happy about, but seriously, i was feeling really horrible about the whole situation. i kept questioning myself whether the decision to stay back was right. i tried to keep all my thoughts inside without telling anyone. pretending that i am all ok when i am actually not. when the bf came over, we had such a happy time. he accompanied me to the interview and kept reassuring me that everything will be ok. so i went for the interview. i came back home, feeling rather horrible because i just kept having a bad feeling that i will not get the position. plus the state of my visa status doesnt do any good to it. i dont know how am i gonna wait for a week or so for the reply, especially after the bf is gone. no one gonna be around to occupy my mind and my time. i know, i tried reminding myself over and over again, dont put the hopes high, just be grateful that at least there's a reply to my countless application sent. what's more the job is only a 9 months position (with the possibility of extending). but, deep down inside i really want it. i want to grab any possible opportunity that appears in front of me. in the end, i broke down and cried real bad in front of the bf. after some crying, life still goes on. the next day, we spent the day happily for our anniversary. to cheer me up, dar brought me for a shopping spree =) in the evening, i received a call and they asked me to provide them my visa details. so me and dar was having good feeling about it, otherwise why would they even bother to check my visa if they're not interested in me. i provided them my visa details. on wednesday, the day the bf left. i thought it's gonna be a bad day because i hate dealing with goodbye. we went for yummy chocolate and it was then i received a call, from an unfamiliar number. i picked up the call and greeted by a familiar tone from the interview. i was told that they contacted my referee and got some good feedback, they were happy about the interview and they would like to offer me the position. they really work fast, the outcome of the interview was informed to me within 3 days. after hung up, i called mom immediately. i didnt call home for quite some time because i refuse to face my parents. and i dont wanna answer the same question that i know they'll definately ask. later on i sent the bf off with a smile, which is a super rare thing to see cos tears always fill my eyes whenever i have to say goodbye to him.
first interview, first job. so now i am gonna start workin as a medical scientist in royal children hospital next month. it's not an ongoing position, but at least i dont have to worry about jobs for 1 year or so. what's more i am on a job thats related to my profession. i really shouldnt complain about anything. now that everything seems to fall in to place, i have a question. should i splurge every single cents of my first pay ?!!!
