Missing

Well Sunday is here and almost gone now. :) Have went for 4 job interviews, 1 job test, took on 1 data management project and 1 day training for this week. And also receive 1 news of unsuccessful application. Well, for me the unsuccessful application is a good and a bad thing. Bad thing is because I wanted to secure a job offer fast so that I can feel some stability in my life, temporary for now, of course. Good thing is if I am successful, I doubt I can work with the people there because they give me an uneasy feeling although the interview with the potential colleagues went well. So working with them might not be comfortable for me.

I am hoping to receive at least one job offer from the three companies that I went to for an interview last week, two banks and one financial institution. And I have confident I would receive one at least. :) Looking back at the two weeks, I have not done much reading for the last two weeks because of the data management project and the hectic interview schedule. Well during the interview, I was never nervous at all but usually after an interview, I feel very drained and needed a rest to gain back the energy lost. I seriously hope that this job hunt can end soon with a good ending of course. VISUALIZE!!!! :)

Anyway, the word 'missing' have been appearing in my life the past few days. Because I am working on a data management project, handing missing values is very common. And the thing is that we have to look at the source data, or input data for the layman and see how they treat the missing values in the first place so that when we do coding for the data management, it would be easier to set out the necessary condition to work on this missing values. Even during analysis of data, how we treat the missing values have a great impact on the outcome of our analysis as well. I am sure people who do quantitative research can relate to what I said quite well.

I also missed the food at my former research centre and the colleagues as well although I see them once or twice a week during those weeks when I am not there. Haha, can see I have build a strong relationship with them during the two years there. Well hopefully I find a job soon and I can go back there to meet them for a final round before I start on my new job, a new chapter in my life. And of course, I also miss.... because it has been a long while.

I also miss my reading and working on the website. Because of the draining interviews and their timing, I was not able to get into the proper attention span to work on my websites and absorb my reading thus all these have been put on hold for more than two weeks now. On and off I try to pick up a book to read, but never seems to get into the right attention and concentration on it. I know what is stopping me is the job hunting process. So again I really hope it end soon! STRONG DESIRE for it to end so that I can plan a proper schedule and work towards my dream! Just too much uncertainty for me to accommodate for now.

Oh yes, today I read an article from the Chinese Newspaper. It is a nice article and the gist of the articles is that realising dreams that you hold is one way of making you live longer and add more value in life. I resonate with what the article says and it re-invigorates my desire to realise my dreams which I have lost during these last three weeks. I just have to do what I can for now given the great uncertainties I have in life right now.

Towards a better week and a week that WILL cut down my uncertainties in life! Cheers!
