I know I have countless of blogs. For those who do follow, you must be thinking, "Oh no, not another one!" But I thought, with all that has been happening, I thought that I would want a dedicated blog just for my life and thoughts and anything else personal. bryanboo.blogspot.com will be reserved for downloads and reviews (speaking of which, I will have to start being more hardworking at providing more stuff for you guys. Has been quite awhile. LOL!).
But yes, I have decided to embark on a new journey after so many, many years.
I have been around. After I did my Bachelor in Theology, I have worked in the church, I have worked in a law firm being their communications support executive, to a paralegal/legal executive, then changed career into the F&B line, being a management trainee, to an assistant manager, and finally a restaurant manager, learning under great restauranteurs and amazing chefs in Singapore. Then I came to the crossroads. Do I want to continue on this path of F&B? What are the future prospects? I reasoned that there can be not much progression in this line of work. What then do I want to do with my life? Do I want to continue striving to achieve my dream of being a surgeon? But with the uncertainty of the MCAT and age catching up, plus their strange timing of only knowing the results of acceptance in May the following year, do I really want to take that risk? In the end, I decided to try piloting. But whether it be an intervention by God, or mere coincidence, AirAsia decided not to take in cadet pilots this year (AirAsia was the only airline that I could join at that point). I was back in square one. To cut the long story short, I then took the leap of faith - to jump into a career that I have thought about before, wanted to be when I was much younger, but did not due to the various ethical issues that I thought existed. I asked around for years but no one could give me a reasonable answer. It wasn't until my tenure working at a law firm where one of the legal executives finally answered my question, which sorted out many of the questions that were holding me back from pursuing a career in this line. I finally decided to pursue law.
To be frank, I really did enjoy my time in that law firm. Yes, life was shitty and stuff but I learned so much, and I found my answer. As far as I'm concerned, that legal executive is my very first mentor in my legal journey. Nat, thanks!
But this journey has not been an easy one thus far. Though only about a month into the studies, I've been bogged down by so much anxiety and stress. Nope, it is not the coursework or the study. In fact, I really do enjoy the study. But it is the uncertainty whether or not I will be able to continue in this study and eventually graduate as a lawyer, not having a permanent place to stay due to my studies not being confirmed, therefore denying me the possibility of signing a tenancy contract, etc. All this due to my foundation course. I really hope and pray all this can be sorted out.
Well, the post is getting rather long now. I shall now go back to reading. Till the next post!
