Still awaiting news of approval by MDA. Hopefully they would approve my application so I could start this journey of pursuing my dream. :)
Not having a job kinda sucks. Not to mention the zero income pathetic state. While I have some tuition assignments to backup, they are not enough to suffice in the long run. Unless I convert to be a full-time tutor and chiong - filling every single day with lessons. That wouldn't be an ideal situation, would it? After all, a good income not backed up by worthwhile experience is somehow not satisfying enough. Unless my aspiration is to be a teacher? But surely enough, I know that I would probably not sign up as a MOE teacher of any sort. While I like to teach, I don't think I am able to cope with the mundane teaching process of seeing students graduate each year and having to form a new bond with new ones again. I guess it would be a very tedious process - both physically and emotionally. That was why I took up tuition. Besides being a source of side income, it kind of fulfil my satisfaction of teaching. Rules? I set it.
I used to mention that I need a lot of flexibility in work. That was why I could not see myself doing a 9-to-5 job. Then again, I know very well that I couldn't be freelancing all the way? Surely, there must be some credible job experience to fill my resume? What's more, if I were to pursue the writing business, going 9-to-5 is a definite must. Well, at least there is something to console myself - that I am going to do something I like.
I know trying to balance work with passion is a really ardous task. Especially if you are living in such a hectic society that focuses a great deal on meritocracy. I have already walked this path that debunks that "I need a good tertiary degree cert to survive". And I have never looked back. Two years ago, it was so tough to find a good job in the job market.
