The Time Void

It has been a week since Go fest Asia officially came to a close, and on the same note, everyone working in it were all immediately retrenched. The gofest team now heads each to their own separate ways - mostly to school, and those who are staff continue their services in YWAM doing whatever assumingly mundane tasks it needs. Then there is Yijay going for DTS. But i am the only one now, who has barely 2 months more till the next big commitment - the National Service - and feeling lost at how to spend the time now that the job i have been on for the past 4 months has ceased to exist.

The problem is, 2 months isnt exactly a very long time; hardly enough to make any new long term commitment. (otherwise i might have even done DTS too) Yet at the same time it is too long for slacking around without getting bored out, running dry, and having an 'occupation void' which i may have to explain to people. While it may be possible to spend this 2 months meaningfully while having full control of my schedule - provided i have the discipline to live up to this lifestyle, i am beginning to believe that the conventional method of getting a job to meaningfully spend the time is a better choice.

Ever since day 1 of life after Gofest, my parents have been relentlessly bugging me to find a job, and asking me several times a day "have you found a job? are you still looking for a job? how are you going to spend these 2 months?..."
even before gofest ended, they already asked me to start looking for a job, so that i can start immediately after. using up my freedom immediately after ive gained it back is certainly not what i would do, and their kancheongness is driving me to annoyance.

Though i could qualify for a few diploma level jobs, i believe none of them would accept someone working with them for only 2 months. this space is only to be filled with part-time jobs, of which open to me now are basically revolving around sales, odd jobs, or restaurant service. A few choices have popped up; none of them making me go "alright, i shall do this!"

Perhaps i should wait longer for God to open to me an opportunity i cant resist? But that way i would be treading the fine line between procrastination and waiting on the Lord. Where shall it fall?

Anyways, im back to a bit of gardening again. of course there is no plot of land for my space-constrained condo apartment, so they grow in just small pots by the window. These plants are very interesting. The 2 of them are the same species, they look exactly the same, except that one bears red flowers, and the other bears purple flowers. They were brought in with the soil, hidden as tiny seeds which sprouted out. i have since adopted them. I have been growing for almost 3 months has flowered and finally bore fruit. inedible ones.
