Dear Diary,
My
savings is growing and I am proud of myself. If I had known how easy it
is for me to save, I would have started saving the minute I came back
to Singapore. I did not think of it at that time. All I was thinking was
to get money quickly
for me to start my own business.
I
was impatient and I couldn’t wait. I ended up in the real estate
industry struggling to make ends meet when I could have spent my time
working a decent job with a basic salary. How ignorant I was at that
time. I am pissed at myself for
not realizing reality quickly then but it is okay Diary, experience is
the teacher of fools. Yes, I sadly admit that I was the fool at that
time. Now that I have enough money to start the stall, I am having
second thoughts about it. Can you believe me Diary?
I am not sure what has gotten into me but I think I am at my comfort
zone now.
Although
I do not enjoy my job scope, I have to admit I enjoy getting paid. I do
not have to worry about paying rent for the stall, salaries for the
staffs, paying bills for utilities and so on and on. The list can be
endless. Yes, I may
be my own boss once I have the business running but it is not going to
be that easy to sustain it. We all know that. Anyway the plan is to
start the business in Kuala Lumpur in four years time. 2017, that’s the
year I am looking forward to. However, I still
hope to have a business here in Singapore too. Imagine this Diary,
living in Kuala Lumpur and having an income in SGD. Isn’t that great?
The exchange rate is superb now. Well I can have two incomes from two
different countries can’t I? That’s the plan actually.
My
contract with the current company ends in March 2014. I am still toying
with the idea of changing job. I don’t know yet. Driving a taxi is one
of the options. Can you imagine me driving a taxi? Well...I mean, I am a
little shy about it.
Well you know me Diary. I am naturally shy but I love driving. Of
course I am not as skillful as Hamilton but I can drive
like how I can work. The only concern that I have now is knowing how to
get to the destinations. *chuckles* I am just afraid
that I might end up somewhere far from the actual destination. Anyway I
can always make use of GPS.
With
advance technologies nowadays, you can be dependent on machines and
technologies if you want to. I suppose if I am really going to give up
my job, I would opt driving a taxi to make a living. It is equivalent to
running your own food
stall in the sense that you are your own boss. The good thing is, you
can be alone to make a living out of it unlike running a stall where you
need staffs to help you run operationally. You can earn slightly more
driving a taxi than having a stall. I have
done my research and yes it is possible. Oh well…I have not decided
yet. I have to make a decision soon and I hope it is a good one cos
frankly, I have lost my steam with this job already. I am surviving for
as long as I am required until I complete my contract.
Another
option I have is to ask for a transfer at other departments. You see
Diary, this company I am working for is a telco giant in Singapore. It
has networks and businesses overseas. We are the leading telco here,
therefore there are
many opportunities to grow and the prospects are good. I hope I can be
transferred doing any backend job. I think I will stay in the job until the time I
have enough money to move to Kuala Lumpur. Oh
Diary, it is hard to decide. I can say that
I am comfortable with this company but it is sad to say I am not happy
with my department. Well, never mind at least this job gives me the
opportunity to earn and save money. I just wish I can coach myself to
like my job.
