Better Arrangements

Did I say that I had actually given up an opportunity to work and study to be a childcare teacher awhile ago.

Well, I forged that opportunity which probably won't knock on my door again. At that time, when this opportunity came along, I thought it was prefect. What makes it not so perfect was that it was during the bonus time. That wasn't an issue rather. I had decided to forgo the bonus and take the leap to pursue something else. But in the end, I stayed. Convinced by my boss and mentor. A decision which I regretted. 

Maybe, I wouldn't have regretted it so much if not for that things are not going accordingly to my "plan". 

Plan A was to take up the childcare teacher sponsorship. 

This failed. Or rather, I give up Plan A. So I had to have a Plan B in place. 

Plan B was to stay in my job, save up and at the same time, waited till October to take up the Infant and Toddler care and development course for 4-5mths and then see what I could proceed from there. 

Fate has it. I was all geared with all the documents ready to apply for the course, only to know that I will be missing more than 50% of a particular module cause I will be traveling to Taiwan in October, I had no choice but to drop the course. 

Well then, anyone will just say "then the next intake?" 

That will be next year 1st quarter. A different course structure but longer course timeline and longer practical fulfillment. 

I was at a little loss. Now that Plan B failed, then what's Plan C? 

Wait till next year? When resentment grew stronger day by day. 

I consoled myself that maybe God has a better arrangement for me that is why things don't go the way I planned. Read it, I CONSOLED MYSELF. 

I got a bit sick and tired telling myself and telling people around me that "maybe God has better arrangements for me". Because I tell this to myself far too many times this year already. 

It dawned on me that why could others get the things they wanted so easily. But it all seems that far fetched for me. 

I had only wanted my phases to come just like anyone else. But it just aren't. 

Good beer need time to brew isn't it? 

29th Birthday

 Chocolate Mud Pie from Peck Sia and Sartha. Its literally ice-cream pie.

What I "asked" from Sartha, my Bday present. 

Yes. As he promised, fried beehoon and chicken wing for breakfast on my birthday. 

What I asked of. Something which I cannot get myself. Or simply put, something which money can't buy. 

Aug Baby

It was Sartha's Birthday. We had this arrangement that we had a budget of $20 for each other on our birthdays. We will let each other choose what we would want, be it a gift that we want or cash. Well, after consulting  her, we came to the conclusion that she would prefer cash. HAHA. And so that, I  will be giving her cash but how should I present it to her then? I made a slice of cake completed with the decorations, and stuffed the money inside.

Looked pretty decent to me but till the next one, will do it better.
