I have been reading my second book of Paulo Coelho recently. First it was 'The Alchemist' and now, 'By the river Piedra I sat down and wept'. All I can say is, WOW. hehe.
I can relate to the second book more easily as the female protaganist was weak, but as the story continues, she starts to understand herself and Life, through the revelations of her seminarian boyfriend. Im left with 1/3 of the book and I can sense a love tragedy coming (actually the intro already hinted at this hehe).
I highly recommend these books to one and all. Pages full of wisdom that make me feel like taking note of everything but it's just too much. ^^
Ok enough of an impromptu book review (Im not paid to do this u know ^^). Recently there have been a string of events that I take as omens. Im going for a job interview for a telesales position at some US finance company at Raffles Place. It is so reminscent of that ill-fated Starhub telesales job at $7/hr too. That ended in failure as the company decided to have experienced people guarding its lines. My first foray into the job scene, my first visit to a recruit agency, and it had to conclude that way, in far-flung Tampines.
The second coincidence is that I have been thinking why the major religions are so male-dominated, when one and all originate from women in the first place. I have been praying everynight to God and Goddess, a divine duo like that Yin & Yang symbol. And 'By the river Piedra..' came along, agreeing with some of my beliefs of the sacred feminine. Last night, I slept with a new found peace in my heart, inspired and motivated to live everyday intensely.
Sometimes, I feel like doing so many things, to pursue all my passions, that I get heated up by an internal flame. But it only lasts a few minutes. What will it be like to sustain this flame? wow.. I will be striving towards this, and to build up my confidence and communication skills. The job Im going for promises all these and more. It's so near the Esplanade, my favourite building (for its interior ^^) besides my house. hehe. I long to perform there as a dancer one day. Ah, to dream again. No more muddling through everyday. A new found purpose. Im coming..
Yesterday I went to look for a job at recruit agencies located in Jurong East and Tanjong Pagar. There is a certain branch at Jurong that made me realise the attribute that i detest above all else. Discrimination. Especially that due to the colour of your melanin. That branch was just damn mean to their dark skinned counterparts who came all the way from Malaysia, to be treated like shit. Ok maybe Im over-reacting, that cuz there was a queue forming at their doors and they were harried and stressed and had to fire rapid questions to the job seekers, no concern at all at their welfare, and were almost attacking their sense of self-worth with fanged and clawed questions. Over-reacting? Maybe it's just that bitchy person. Dont let one person destroy the reputation of the whole establishment.
Another thing that I feel strongly for is the discrimination against women. Whenever I read or hear about a rape case, I absolutely hate the man/men who commited it. I feel like personally castrating them. Hmmm personal grudges towards males? Looks like I wont get a boyfriend anytime soon. ;p
Oh gosh i have just received the email from my job consultant confirming the interview tomorrow. Augh its at some posh place involving the whole floor as its office and an appointment with the receptionist. I have to read up at the company's website too! Ok stop panicking and remeber that you really really want the job and u are not letting the receptionist or the settings cow u. And forget that interviews have always been ur bane. Tomorrow is a second chance to achieve what i want. Grrrrr... Yes!!! Gamabatte!
mood-o-meter: Grrrr let the will overcome the fear!! >:O
