When you have not start working: blessing or unlucky?

After all the hard work and effort and I spent on my job hunting, plus all the support from my family, girlfriend and friends, I manage to secure my dream job. I'm really to thankful to all of you for your support. I was offered the job position. However, I have to wait for further instructions. Therefore, I have a holiday break since I quit my last job (since 11th Feb 2010, near Chinese New Year ).


It is about 2 months since then. All my friends who graduated last December have gotten a job by now and start working already. They probably get a few months of pay by now, with great spending power. Though they have great spending power, most of them are very packed with their work. They hardly get the time to really enjoy the break. When I say enjoy the break, I really meant it. The so called weekend break they have are probably for them to catch some sleep, and perhaps a short few hours for them to enjoy. Most of them work so hard that they become deprived of sleep on weekdays. I personally experienced this while I was working for the a few weeks this year. Most of the days I have to work Over Time (OT), that I barely have a few hours of sleep when I reached home.

Now that I have my break, I can finally relaxed. Some of my friends who start working the moment their exams end doesn't get to enjoyed. Can see how tired they are. Heard a lot about their complains of their working life. They keep saying that I'm having good life and get to relax a lot. To be honest, the answer is Yes and No. Yes, I'm having a good life, relaxing and enjoying myself now. I don't have to worry a lot of work stuff. I get to play and enjoy. However, they are really limited. I have time, but no spending power. My friends have spending power, but no time. Thats the difference. In addition, having a month break its enough. Enjoying so much days without working - perhaps you get sick of it; at least for me. Everyday play game, go shopping, if not eat good food, and sleep. Life would be so boring. You eventually get sick of it after one month. Besides, the longer you wait, the further you are a way from your goals. I have many financial goals to achieve, wonder when I can fulfill them.

Some people suggest to me that perhaps I should take part time job. Well, 2 reasons why I don't:
1. Low Pay
2. Commitment
Most part time jobs are low paid jobs. Although I can teach tuition for high income, but it requires the commitment at least to the end of year which I can't. I don't want to let off my students half way and ask them to find another tutor, I find it irresponsible. My employer may also contact me on short notice, so I better stand by to start work any time.

The best I can do is to make use of time to read some books. I also use this opportunity to train for physical fitness, especially jogging. My future job requires physical fitness. My only challenge is the weather. I couldn't run many days because its raining season. Hopefully this small poem can help me:
"Rain rain go away, come again another day. Little Kelvin wants to train."

Pray hard: hopefully I can start my job soon. If not I would bored to death!
