... make lemonade, or sell it.
Yesterday, I got an invitation to present my work in an international workshop. Of course, I freaked out laa, I am not confident to talk among my seniors who have been in the field, like forever. I accepted the invitation but for the coming week, I think I will be super nervous. They give me 10 minutes to talk. What can happen in 10 minutes? Nothing bad will happen, right?
Working in Singapore is new in many levels. I usually work in a male environment, with people older than me. In this type of environment, I usually got protection from my superior so I could get away with things that I did not like. My superior even told me once that he read my blog and said that I could always talk to him if I have a problem with work. In Singapore, the situation is quite the opposite. I am working in a female environment with people similar to my age. I was given a lot of opportunities, which were not really on my comfort zone but I know by taking them it allows me to grow.
I am not ambitious and probably, that's the reason why I don't really worry about my life a year from now. But I think people care about me. When I got the invitation, the person said that he was being recommended by one the Deputies in an Indonesian agency. So yeah, always be nice, and the Universe will take care of you.
