A new chapter.

Today marks the start of babe's job stint at the Singapore Flyer. Despite my objection, she still went for the interview and ended up landing a job at the newest tourist attraction. You may question me for objecting but i have my reasons for doing so. Firstly, it is because she is currently studying and with the new job, she would have an additional burden upon her shoulders. It's already bad enough that whatever time she has has been split between her family,her studies, with me and for herself and now, things are further divided with the presence of her job as well. I don't mind if she sacrifices time with me but i don't want her to forsake her studies. I understand that she is doing this for the extra income and to help lighten the financial burden on her sole bread winning mum but i really don't want her to do it at the expense of her studies. Like i told her, money isn't an issue. What matters most is that she clears her university education and thereafter, she can always land herself a better paying job to fulfil all her objectives.

On top of that, I am also worried for her because of the location of the attraction and the working hours. If you have not seen the plot of land that the Singapore Flyer is sitting on, it is rather deserted and if i am not wrong, can only be accessed by road. The situation is further aggrevated because the working hours can stretch till late at night. Theres also the question mark when it comes to her would be colleagues. As far as i know her, she is simply too trusting and may end up being taken advantage of without even knowing it. All these aside, i am glad that she has a close friend working with her but even so, i am sure that they can't possibly work the same shifts everytime so that there is someone to watch her back. Oh well, i guess all i can do is to pray for her safety. Perhaps i am just worrying and thinking too much but after all, she's a baby to me if you get what i mean=). Just hope that everything will be alrite. Ultimately whats meant to be is meant to be and what isn't will stay that way. I just have to accept things the way they are and continue supporting her like how i would for everything she does=).
