Just went through what I had blogged before. Seems like I blogged quite a lot. I see myself blogging about my first job to my current job - which is not anymore current - "most recent" would be a more appropriate phrase.
Had 3 jobs since I graduated, had worked quite closely with 4 organizations, which were 4 different industries altogether - marketing with a FMCG co, research with an academic institution, event organizing with a non-profit organisation, sales support with a bank. I'm now moving to the next one, which is again another different industry.
Wow, looking back, my life is not that dull after all.
Sometimes omen does make sense. The most current transition has not been easy. It even resulted in I didn't get what I finally decided on (which is probably the sign that life is finally hinting that I should take THIS route).
Life goes on, quoting from one of my previous posts. And to thank all my friends who have spent hours listening to my undecisiveness on this subject, which is ever-changing from day to day for about a week or two, just to let you all know, the common advice given to me by you is to decide on something, walk down the road and don't look back. There are no right or wrong decisions.
My feelings now - both excited and nervous - it didn't occur to me how much "change in my life and lifestyle" I've committed myself to. Was that even me during the interview? Well, things will work out - if it doesn't I'll learn something as well. I'm still young anyway!

Turtle
"Imagine that the whole earth was covered with water, and a man was to throw a yoke with a hole in it into the water. Blown by the wind, that yoke would drift north, south, east and west. Now, suppose that once in hundred years a blind turtle would rise to the surface. What do you think? Would that turtle put his head through the hole in the yoke as he rose to the surface once in a hundred years?"
"It is unlikely Lord."
"Well, it is just as unlikely that one will be born as a human being; it is just unlikely that a Tathagata, a Noble One, a fully enlightened Buddha should arise in the world; and it is just as unlikely that the Dhamma and discipline of the Tathagata should be taught. But now you have been born as a human being, a Tathagata has arisen and the Dhamma has been taught. Therefore, strive to realize the Four Noble Truths."
