So, I’ve been really bad to my own blog. So bad, I’ve forgotten about it. Well, no fret. One of the list in my 2013 resolution is to blog more. And, that’s my first resolution ..which I just made 2 seconds ago as I’m typing this.
One of the reason why I’ve been avoiding to blog is that I always hated whatever I’ve written in the past. Depending on the mood I’m in. And right now I’m in a pretty good mood, since it’s half past midnight. The blogsphere has changed, and very few still blog the way blogs were written. And I’ve decided not to care whether I, you or anyone else hates it or not, because at the end of the day, I’m writing for myself.
So, what the hell am I up to right now? Absolutely nothing.
I just finished an e-commerce design job, and currently, I’m at a crossroads. I’m not sure whether I should a) Find architectural-rel job, b) set up my own bussiness or c) sit home, get a freaking hobby and nothing else.
Surely, the last one seems more ideal to me, but I can’t bear the idea of not having money (other than the weekly allowance my husband gives me). If I’m lucky, I could be one of the very few that earns through hobbies (yeah, dream on!).
The second option seems inviting, but it requires a lot of energy, and it is the one that I would prefer most. But, I should at least put my Degree to a good use, first, before I try anything else. Which brings us to the next option; getting a job.
I could get a job, and a steady payroll, but the problem is I don’t own a car. My car is currently being used by my sister. I have my husband’s car but it’s a stick, and uh.. well, I suck at it. I don’t even know why they make stick shift anymore! Oh no no, I might get into an accident! Of course, I am an optimist, and that is just an excuse. Most importantly, is it worth it to spend 8 hours a day, 5 days a week to earn RM1,500 – RM2000? Surely, it’s a shit amount of money if you think about the hours to put in. Not to mention the stresses.
So, after having a shitty day, and having a wonderful husband who’s super encouraging, he made me realize why I even bother to consider about getting a job. It seems I’ve forgotten that life is not about the money. I wanted the experience. Or atleast, I wanted to know whether this is the industry I really want to be in. If it is, then I’ll pursue master next year. If it’s not, there’s always other opportunities.
…like being a housewife. haha, Just kidding.
Ah, there’s so many things you can do Aisyah! Things you love, that can benefit others, that can make the world a better place. And so many things you can learn, too. 🙂 Sometimes I wish I can just spend time learning & putting the knowledge/skills into practice, and learn some more, and do some more, repeat.
Ask Allah for guidance and just go for it. InshaAllah the efforts will bring more of His help too.
I agree with Aneesah.
Being a housewife and doing part time project is more ideal. However, you might want to focus on getting you want to do. My personal opinion, do what changes/ moves people in your own way. You have a talents that’ll envy people, that I have to give you. Now, lets use those talents to change to better future. Though its such a small incremental, but at least you’ll inspire people to contribute towards greater future.
Praise to Allah may He enlighten you in your endeavors
