the battle she picked

she drove up with the kids.. half guilty as she need to leave the in-laws earlier, half hoping that this would be it.. the rezeki she was waiting for.. InsyaAllah..
she woke up early and prepared herself - with the black pants, the stripy white shirt and the black vest.. it was Sunday morn, and seven a.m. was early!..

and she reached her destination.. she was not nervous like the others.. she just want to try her luck.. if she was lucky enough..

then, her 'spy' told her.. the walk-in was 'impossible'.. the requirements were eight years and above experiences (and they did not stated the above range up to 20 years for the 'real' vacancies).. thousands of hoping candidates were there, and of course the hiring would be less than five percents of the registered hopeful candidates.. and what they didn't tell was that, once you were evaluated and did not succeed the walk-ins, no way you'll be invited for any future opportunities.. thanks to her 'spy'.. she walked-out.

and he told her "sometimes you need to pick your battle to win the war".. and that soothed her. she knew he was right and what she did was not wrong. she may be ambitious. she may have her reasons to aim for what she is aiming..she may put high hopes though she tried denying.. the time is just not right, yet. when it comes, it will come. God Permits, InsyaAllah.

for now, she will settle to where she is now, comfortably, conviniently.
