Yeap, after one year of not working (the first half of the year spent travelling, and the second half spent trying to get a job that does not require me to go back into practicing life!), I am now working in...... (holds breath!!!)....... (cue drum roll please!!)......... a........ law firm!!.... (*awwww* <------ dissapointment sigh ok, not the 'awwwww' you're-so-cute sigh).
After much consideration, deliberation, intimidation (heheh), and frustration (and all other word ending with 'tion'), i have concluded that there's no other place that i could go to, except working my a** back into practicing. Kesian tak?? Sedih makcik ok...
But I needed this. Seeing that my reserve in the bank account is running low. Seeing that I am gaining weight faster than a pregnant lady. Seeing that oh-so-cute handbag displayed at the displaying window for everyone to bask in it's glory (menci!!!), and so yeah, I caved in. I told myself:-
'Woman, you have to work to get that cute Anya bag. Pronto!'
And what about that luxurious lavender hand cream from L'Occitane?? That sinful yet delicious durian pancakes at Mandarin Oriental? That succulent wagyu beef steak at Prime, Le Meridien?
Oh nOooOO..... I couldn't forego all that. I thought that I could 6 months ago, but that was then. Now, my desire for all the finer things in life are raging to be fulfilled.
Darn it!
And there's also the better side of my conscience telling me that I need to save more money for the future, be it for medical purposes (you'll never know what lies ahead rite?), and also for my future munchkins.
So yeah.
I caved in to my sinful side, and also my good side. Bad enough that everyone, especially my husband and mother-in-law kept on asking me the 'when are you going to start work?' question every day (it's annoying by the way), and bad enough that I only have less than RM500 to spend every month (courtesy of hubby dearest. Hmmmm...how come guys nowadays have less commitment when it comes to supporting theirs spouses eh??), so here I am, in my new office, waiting for my own room to be available (by 8th sept), sitting in the attachment student's room, blogging!
Oh yeah, it's the fasting month now. Energy is wearing low as the day progresses, so I need some form of distraction as to not looking at the computer clock every 5 minutes, wishing that it'd go a bit faster so that I can go home and break my fast!
Today's been my 5th day at work, by the way. Not that much work to be done since I don't have my own room (just yet). New boss told me to just relax first and get a feel of what I'll be doing later (banking litigation). Everything will start to run its course after Hari Raya, hopefully.
For now, I am back to gazing at the computer clock.
Time, please move a lil' bit faster..... just for a day.
