Gapper Journey so far

I've been meaning to write something personal for quite some time and I do apologize for being idle. Five months ago, I've made the decision to stay in Brunei and defer my Bar training until the next academic year for several reasons. After a failed attempt to work part-time at a law firm, I thought of taking up a fun job which I eventually did just to give myself a break. Other than that, I've also been occupying myself with rugby (a lot of it). I don't know many who have tried taking a gap year as most of my friends are on a quick pace to move on with their lives and some choose to continue their studies. So the past few months have been a soul-searching journey for me because I've been questioning my intentions to join the practice in the future (I do, but not right now).

At the time being, I'm happily making drinks at a newly opened cafe. It's also overwhelming when some of the customers have recognized me behind the bar. Many have even asked why I decided to work there and my only intent is to fill up my time doing something different for once as I've worked as an office girl once whilst I was still studying and I didn't appreciate sitting behind the computer and 'makan gaji' for the whole two months. I do believe that everyone should have a shot in working elsewhere before diving into their real field. It is a great opportunity to value work and to create new friendships. 

After being in the education system for so long, I've finally got some time to take a breather and appreciate new things, sans exams. These days I've been pouring creative energy into life and I feel excited to partake on new creative projects and slightly nervous to be paving my own career pathway. 

Forever learning,

ps: I do hope my young readers are always learning too
