又推掉了另一份不错的全职工作，得到的结论是， 虽然对自己想要的有点模糊， 对自己所不想要的，却是清楚得很。 这也算是向前迈进了一步吧。

选择了放弃朝九晚五的安定，害怕吗？说真的，有一点。这种自由，是要用钱买的：原本能领的年薪，就是这自由的价码。买了这么贵的自由，会害怕 “下错了赌注”，回报不及本钱， 得不偿失。不过，如果因为害怕（怕输心理+对未知的恐惧）而死抓着不放，又怎么可能让自己有机会出走出这已经走了太久的框框呢？

放得下， 这是我的财富，让我有本钱能去开拓不一样的精彩。
来临的一年里，任务就是出去走走，听听别人的故事，体会生活中大大小小的感动。值不值得，日后自然会有分晓。

Looking at the calendar today made me do a double take - is it really 30 June already? Time flies...at supersonic speed at that.

So, have I spent the first half of 2009 the way I wanted? Well, the answer's yes and no. Yes, because I've always wanted to try this job out, so yes, I got to live part of my dream. No, because I don't swallow abuse very well, and wished I didn't have to suffer six months of it at my workplace to affirm this.

But all in all, it has been a fruitful journey. I'm a mutant strain of a virus now - what didn't kill me only made me stronger, hur hur hur!  I've learnt more about myself, and now sport a thicker hide, a sharper tongue and a keener sense of humour. I call it character evolution (coz' I'm too old to grow up).

Ready to take on the next half of 2009! *vroom vroom*

I've begun to jobhunt...sort of, anyway. I mouseover job ads but hardly click on them. The few I do eventually click on, I take three days to consider before I do so, and even then, sometimes I withdraw the application a few hours after.

I have been hesitant for a few reasons. The job market doesn't seem too rosy to begin with. And despite the many problems I'm having with my job, far more than I've ever had with other jobs, I still feel somewhat attached to it because I know there will never be another job quite like it. It's not one of those generic cookie-cutter positions you can find in any company on the street. Once I'm outta here, it's goodbye forever. "Ouch" if I stay, "ouch" if I go. There's no winning this game, is there?

Hopefully something happens to end this dilemma, otherwise I'll be stuck at this pendulum thingy till goodness-knows-when. *Tick-ok-I-quit-Tock-nah-i-want-to-stay*
