26.01.2006 - THE Day!

Episode I


Woke up early in the morning to an empty inbox - dang! Where is that e-mail?

On the way to the office, received a call from Cik_dee - she got her e-mail already..

Rushed to the office - still empty!

The other two colleagues also got their e-mails!

Waited anxiously until 10.30 am, picked up the phone and dialed the head office.

Alhamdulillah.....! I got through 1 out of 3 papers... (for a professional exam, that's good news!)



Episode II


Went to see Beast, told her THE news, and she didn't seem surprised. In fact, she looked happy, or was it glad?

Next, went to see Uncle Dan, and gave him, first the good news, and then THE news. He was very happy at first, telling me that now I should really concentrate on clearing off the 2 papers.

However, his face fell when I passed him THE letter..

Uncle D: Why do you need to give me this letter?!
Binx: It's something that I've been wanting to do for quite some time now
Binx: And I guess this is the right time for me to give it to you...
Uncle D: But I have already planned out your future with the company
Uncle D: I'm changing your portfolio soon..
Uncle D: Can't you delay your plans and stay for at least another year?
Binx: *holding back tears* I don't think I can do that, Uncle. I'm very sorry.

Later, received a call from Uncle Singh...

Uncle S: Girl, what is this I hear about you leaving?
Binx: Errmmm, yeah you heard it rite, Uncle S..
Uncle S: Why? You'll be working under me very soon..
Uncle S: Uncle D had personally chosen you to come here (a subsidiary)
Uncle S: to head the accounts department...
Binx: Huh? Really? He didn't tell me that..
Uncle S: Well, that's the plan.. So please go and see him and take back your letter.
Binx: I don't think that's what I want to do anymore, Uncle
Uncle S: Why do you want to throw your professional career to chase your dreams?
Uncle S: You can do that later.. You are still young..
Uncle S: Plus, this opportunity only come once in a lifetime..
Binx: Yeah, I know.
Binx: But I think it is better for me to start doing the things that I love..



I don't know if I have done the right thing. Throwing away a chance to become a somebody in a company in order to pursue my dreams. Stupid, they say...

However, thanks to the darling people in my life (you know who you are - love you guys!), that have constantly reminded me of the better things that I should look forward to in the future, I have decided to stick to my original plan, come what may..

I shall not look back to this day and regret my decision. I shall not shed any tears of sorrow... only tears of sadness for having to leave a great place that has been my 2nd home for the last 3 years. I shall not mark this day as the day I was defeated by the Beast. No, she did not win. I chose to seek for a better life. Hence, in a way, I AM the winner.



binx: 2 and half months to go!
