Going Mad! (Between disappointment and appreciation)
Feeling so disappointed when I knew that I didn’t make it to Pearson Singapore, I went mad! I couldn’t think of a reason why when the interview was going on so well. Perhaps my English was not good enough for them.
I kept thinking and thinking. Was it because I told others too early? Was it because I was over-confident? These led me to decide one thing - I’m not going to tell others anything until I get the job. So my dear friend, this will be the last update from me. I’m so sorry, it’s not that I don’t want to tell or being superstitious, but I really don’t wish to feel this kind of disappointment again. Hope you understand.
I’m actually working now, but on freelance basis, editor for Healthy Times magazine. So far so good and I did manage to learn quite a number of new skills especially in creative writing. I never thought I was given a chance to do this. The job is far more challenging than doing assessment books coz there are a lot that I need to plan and research (not forgetting the writing part which is the most challenging part of the job coz it involves a lot of creativity). Some more the content is on health (hey, I’m not a doctor and I had to write something on vasectomy!) … anyway I managed to write and I’m glad to know that I can do it! 
Honestly, I’m really thankful to the boss for the chance and Lilian SIm for the friendship … and actually I really hope I can work for long term here but I just can’t survive with freelance alone, which is why I’m still looking for a permanent post.
Hope things will turn out better for me soon. But I will definitely miss Healthy Times if I’m really fated to go somewhere else.
