Jobhunt begins …
by Afirah on Feb.18, 2011, under My DAYS!
Finally, the day has come & I’m counting down the days to the end of my notice period! Phew!
No more dragging of feet to work but there’s a problem. I haven’t secure myself a work & now the jobhunt begins.
Enough of shift works, this time I’m looking for an office hour jobs. I want my weekends off & time to do what I like best - exercise. Since BF found himself an office hour job, hopefully I’ll get one soon so that I can have more weekend time with him, with my family & younger siblings!
Lucky thing I have my savings. That will help to sustain me till I find a new job. I want an executive job, like my first full-time job. I want 5 days work week. Please God, do some miracle & give me one.
Actually, I have an alternative i.e. as an insurance agent. They will pay me double my salary for 6 months (the need for stability) & after that, the targets will start rolling in. Another shot I could take is to just go for the Stewardess job (since my application will lapse in Mar). An obvious option now is to start looking for an office hour job elsewhere since the other 2 alternatives will take time.
However, I’ve discussed & get approval from mummy to take one month off from work. Yay! I want to get fit again, to have the time for leisure, for fitness & for lots of me-time. I’m not in a rush for a job but I’m constantly worried about the bills & mum’s allowance. Sigh.
But I believe in God, for whatever & everything that happened is for a reason. He has His. I shall not get myself too tensed up & go with the flow, the script God has written for me.
Ponder. Think. What’s life?

Life is so fragile. Just like a glass, you can never fix once broken.
Life challenges has been tough for me for the past few months. While I’ve been struggling to remove what’snot on my body to be better person & to get that dream job, yet another test from Him.
Bf’s dad passed away on the 28th January, 10 days ago from a sudden heart attack. Exactly the same death fate as my late father, 9 years ago. I am too sensitive, expecially on the issue of death. It can take me almost months to fully recover. Especially if the person is close & died of a sudden death. Unlike my late grandmother who passed on due to an outbreak of cancerous virus in the body, more or less, I was prepared to face it.
Late Haji Dawood passed on too fast, too sudden for the family, especially the mother. They have been a loving couple, it’s a difficult phase of life for the mother. No wonder I’ve been getting bad feelings 2 days before the dad’s death. If only we knew about the bad feelings way ahead, we will be much prepared to overcome the death. But life lessons just not easy as that.
I’ve been thinking, in fact, so much about what had happened till I have pimples on my face. Sigh. I’m thinking about life, thinking about how fragile life is & it’s life lessons.
I’ve shared this to a really close friend of mine, for 14 years, pouring her everything that is bothering me. About me wanting to be a better Muslim as well as my thoughts about the people around me. I wasns’t sure if i wanted flying as bad as I used to. I just ain’t sure if I can part ways from my family as well as my BF’s family. They need me. My mum, my grandmother, my younger siblings & his family. She adviced me to think about myself, my life first & stop bothering so much about others. But that just aint me. It’s a disappointment actually. She knows me for more than a decade yet she didn’t really know my character.
For I am a person who will risk my life for the people I love, a person who puts others first & someone who will feel good about being helping others. Basically, I need the calmness by doing all this. I need the feel-good feeling from doing all this. This just me. But I see the positive in her words. She’s scared that if I’m too bothered about everyone else’s feeling, who cares about mine? She doesn’t want me to regret not trying all this when I’m young. Sometimes, we just don’t get what we want. It’s a fact.
For now, there’re too many thoughts in my mind that stresses me up. So many uncertainty and so many obstacles that I need to face in the decisions that I’m gonna take. Right now, nothing else matters but just calmness that I’ve been longing for.
The thing that really bothers me is, who will miss me & pray for me when I’m gone? Will people cry for me & pray for my afterlife? Insya-Allah.
Work. Fun. Love.

Work.
Not a good start to 2011, cause I’m still stuck in the same company. I want to get out badly. If not because of money, I woulod have throw that resignation letter months ago! But it’s ok. It’s coming to an end. I’m hoping to move on to a much better job that I’ve been dreaming about day & night. Please God, I only depend on you.
I hope it’ll be a smoother journey for me onboard the new job & that it’ll be a better mid-year for me. HAHAHA!
Fun.
Fun is always in my mind. All I think about day & night is having fun. I love my friends, my colleagues & social peers. Full of events had passed in January & more coming soon through out the year. Yay!! Fun is the stress reliever & the only way to distract me from thinking about how bored my life is. Heh.
Love.
Money may be an issue between us but his love overcomes it. I believe he will find his dream job & picks up the momentum to succeed. Knowing him for 2 years, I know he will not disappoint me. On top of that, in two months time we’re celebrating 2 years! 2 years fly like a second! Way to fast. Slow down please. We’re planning far, but God decides. I pray for the best & God’s blessing to this relationship. May everything goes on well & as planned.
Yours truly.
I want to fly!

I want to fly! I want to fly!
This March will be officially 6 months after my airline job application. Successfully completed all 6 rounds, so near yet so far! But its okay cause I believe & my efforts will be paid off real soon.
Spend lots of money to remove what’s not on my body & splurge on skin perfection. I hope to hear a favourable response from them. I hope all my efforts will be paid off with this dream job that I have been wanting so badly!
Recently browse Facebook to check my friends of the same batch interviewees who went for the same round. Most of them have started to fly & see the world! I’m so jealous, but it’s a positive jealousy. HEHE!
Seeing them happy & enjoying their flights burning me to quickly complete the skin check round to determine if I’m officially accepted or not. 6 months wait is a killer, what’s more that I’m still stuck in my current job. A job that I really hate & dying to get out. If not because of my financial responsibilities, I will have send that resignation long long ago!
It’s almost here, the final hurdle. The third treatment to my laser & 1 week recovery. Pray the best for the clean & smooth recovery so as to be fully ready for that skin check interview. I wish they see my efforts in wanting this job badly! I really pray hard they give me a chance to get that dream job. For my future, my family & to live the dreams of the people around me. Please God, I believe in only you. I’m begging on my knees for you to materialize my dream cause only you have the power to make a difference & change the fate.
It’s 2011 finally!

Woots!
2011 yaw! Finally, the new decade & I’m excited!
2010 had its ups and down, or should i say more downs? Paticularly at work and in self-accomplishment. The goods has to be love & savings!
Work; so many MC, statements, naggy from TL for not completing my FDWP quizzes, not attending briefings, below average worker. Worst was the dismissal of BF and facing the bitches at work, all by myself. But the last 2 weeks of working alone without BF seem alright. Not as bad as I expected. Heh.
Resolutions for 2010 went down the drain. 2 of the biggest resolutions – to pass my car license & to lose weight to 50kg was not accomplished. But well, atleast towards the end of the year I enrolled myself inclass 3 & had completed 7 practicals! As for my weights, currently at 53kg. It is acceptable & healthy looking but I always wanted to stick to my ideal weight of 50kg. Maybe the number easier to remember. HAHA! Actually, if i lose 3 more kilos, I’ll have slimmer cheeks!
Well, it’s officially 1.1.2011! 2010 had not been a good year but let’s do much better for 2011 & I got a feeling that 2011 will be a wonderful & blastful year! Mark my words, I’m feeling the vibes already~
So what’s my resolutions for 2011??
- To be healthier, fitter & achieved that ideal 50kg & toned body
- To pass my class 3 license & get a car
- To find a better paying, satisfying & rewarding career
- To be a more religious muslim, pray 5 times a day!
Resolutions this year will be a sweet, simple & easy to accomlish. To sum it up, I wish for a meaningful, well-spent & wonderful 2011 as well as a BEAUTIFUL & AWESOME start to the decade!
