Work

Its has been 2 weeks since I start working in this company and very soon, next friday will be my last day. Time flies.

Not much things I can say about my job this time, it is not an architectural practise but I still appreaciate it. This job is purely business, it is all about trading money and goods; productions, customers and suppliers. I m glad that I was given the chance, before this I never really understood how a business works.

I think alot about my future whenever I work, maybe simply because working life reminds me of growing up, reality and responsibilities.... It is not like I m very pessimistic about my future, I just wonder how it is going to be liked. Especially in this place I m currently working at, there are 3 newly wedded wifes, I can see how marriage and work affects one's life, this made me think even more. Am I going to be a housewife even I have graduated with Barch? or am I going to work my life off and not getting a life? ....... tricky, I don't know the answer but of course I hope for the better, the best; do what I can do to achieve the better, the best. =]

Most of my friends has gone to the next stage of life - working life, after they finished their studies. I m one leg stepping into the stage as well.... Feel like singing the S.H.E's song 'don't want to grow up' ... ahaha...

I know I m considered very lucky. Many people at my age has already worked for years and I still get the chance to study for another two years, what more can I ask? However, think of the other way round, some people at my age already has a family, a loving husband, lovely children and maybe friendly parents in-law. What they do everyday is all about the family affair, houseworks, checking daughter's homework, accompany parents to pasar.... Things like that can also make like very meaningful, just depends on how you look at everyday. Seriously, everyone lives a different life and the choice is up to you.

A friend's friend told me about his thought about this women's working topic. He said the most sacred work and greatest work a woman can do is to take care of the family. He absolutely want his future wife to be a housewife at home and do her best for the family. I am kinda surprised, nowadays guys don't usually talk like this anymore. I am surprised by the thought and also by his sincerity in believing women can make the best family.

Ahh.. I m slipping away from the topic. To conclude this, I just wanted to say I am not ready for working life but yet I m looking forward for it as I think it might be interesting and challenging... It is a thing I would like to try.

Carrot, Egg or Coffee

Something i read from a forwarded email touched me... It is very interesting and very true.
I forwarded the email to most of my friends but i still wan to post some part of it here as I hope to share with everyone I know...

Here is part of the article ...

A young woman went to her mother and told her about her life and how things were so hard for her. She did not know how she was going to make it and wanted to give up. She was tired of fighting and struggling. It seemed as one problem was solved, a new one arose. Her mother took her to the kitchen. She filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire. Soon the pots came to boil.

In the first she placed carrots, in the second she placed eggs, and in the last she placed ground coffee beans. She let them sit and boil, without saying a word. In about twenty minutes she turned off the burners. She fished the carrots out and placed them in a bowl. She pulled the eggs out and placed them in a bowl. Then she ladled the coffee out and placed it in a bowl.

Turning to her daughter, she asked, "Tell me, what do you see?"

Her mother explained that each of these objects had faced the same adversity . boiling water. Each reacted differently. The carrot went in strong, hard, and unrelenting. However, after being subjected to the boiling water, it softened and became weak. The egg had been fragile. Its thin outer shell had protected its liquid interior, but after sitting through the boiling water, its inside became hardened. The ground coffee beans were unique, however. After they were in the boiling water, they had changed the water.

"Which are you?" she asked her daughter.

"When adversity knocks on your door, how do you respond?

Are you a carrot, an egg or a coffee bean?"
