i smiled at 4:34 AM.
First.. Let me thank all the friends who wished me good luck for my interview. I am currently waiting for the outcome. Working in a private setting is definitely going to be a big challenge but this is ideal not because it pays well but this is something that matches my values and dream. I know if i will to accept it, i will have to sacrifice my time freedom but.. i am willing to work hard especially for the first few years in my career. Lenia 不怕吃苦! I know if my dream is big, my yearning is big.. all the barriers present along the way will never be an issue that i can't handle.
The past few years have taught me to be independent.. yes independent woman. Never to depend on anyone but yourself.. what you want, you have to fight for it.. what you do choose to do, you have to bear whole responsibility!
One day after my interview, I was approached my 2 hospitals in the same afternoon. One of the supervisor said, " we are very happy with your performance and willing to wait for you." My senior from another hospital told me, " when are you coming back to join us, we will love to accept you! Go apply now!" Nice! Thank you for the 肯定. It makes me feel that my capability is being appreciated.
Yesterday, I attended a business conference called the "Power of Women" in Johor. Truly inspired by the sharing of the 4 most successful women. 4 of them come from different backgrounds, some from rich family, some who were just like a nobody. The common things about them are they are DETERMINED to achieve what they want! They DEPEND on themselves! They WORK VERY HARD! They believe in themselves and lastly, a good heart goes a long long way!
I felt touched..at certain point of the presentation, my tears were lingering in my eyes but i held it back. It is never easy to be a woman who needs to play multiple roles as the society still somehow belittle women. I could feel how much they have gone through to achieve what they have right now, even thou, my experience in life is nothing compared to theirs but somehow.. i did go thru something similar to feel the ache and understand how it felt like to be in their shoes.
I, Lenia, will stand strong and try my very best to play well in all the roles as a woman. I will be someone that my hubby/ parents/ children/ friends/ colleagues will be PROUD of! Because i know i want .. i will NEVER give up!
