One of the promises I made when I decided to stay in Singapore again is to keep blogging. Okay, once a week it's still good enough, at least I have a record of my journey in life.
How am I doing lately?
It's good, I'm getting used to the situation, no more regrets, or tears for that matter. No more homesick, and yes, still counting days.
Okay, still with passion searching. So on may latest workbook in the passion test, it stated that whatever decision you've made, it have to be for the sake of our passion. Even tough it seems impossible, but that decision will lead you to a better thing, your passion.
Then this opportunity to work in Singapore come. My dream is to open my own business and to have a flexible working hours, but all of that require a big amount of capital. I thought, this could be it, working in Singapore can provide me the capital I needed. So I took the offer.
But if I really look at it, I probably getting away from my passion. The idea to have my own business is for me to be able to spend my time with family, have more time doing the things i love. Choosing to be away from them and working 9hours (or more!) a day is not giving me enough time for myself.
If I want to have capital for my business, I could've taken other ways, I could've taken the offer to be an insurance agent( I know, i know, it's soo not me, but the profit you'll get it's rewarding you know!), or i could've explore the design and build projects in Bandung. There's so many other ways! why choose this?
I couldn't answer. And honestly, I still have regrets.
But the decision have been made. And I'm here. The best way to handle this is just to enjoy the experience. And be grateful of what I have.
But I can't help to wonder, If I really followed my heart. If I reject this offer and follow the options for the sake of my passion. Where I would be right now?
Have I told you before about the temptation? the confusion I'm having?
Well the story is I had a job offer from Singapore, it was really sudden and I didn't see that coming, I was really focused on my dreams, mu online boutique and my passion searching which didn't involved in Architecture at all. Right when I was certain that architecture is not my passion and not in my future plan, the phone rang;
It was from my former boss who had moved to another company and became 'the big boss', he offered me a job without have to come for an interview.
For others that could be a blessing. Because I know a lot of people wants to work in Singapore, but they face difficulties since they have to apply in so many company, doing interviews, and not to mention the permit application.
I din't instantly said no, or said yes for that matter. I hesitated.
Well the money is good but I just not sure want to go through that path anymore, I don't think I want to do architecture in a daily basis. I'm happy in my current state, I'm enjoying my life, I still do architecture jobs but it's freelance so I can manage the time myself.
But then I thought, I should think about the new adventure I will get, that's always a good thing. Most people wanted to experience working abroad and living in a foreign country. I got to experience that, 3 times. And everything seemed very smooth like I really meant to do this.
So with that consideration, we decided that I should take the offer.
So here I am, in Singapore, and living another great adventure in my life.
Where do you come from
