If the past weeks were filled with interviews and inane questions like "What are your career goals?" this week was about recalling basic arithmetics to calculate compounded interest rates and currency exchanges, writing essays about the Malaysian economy and attempting to solve impossible IQ questions in my elusive hunt for a job. I can't say I'm any closer to finding a promising job that I could imagine myself not disliking after a month but therein too lies the problem since I'm always confounded by questions about my interests and future plans -- I don't know if I have too many or none at all.
It makes it easier to put all the career thoughts behind me and look ahead to my guest who will be arriving in Singapore tomorrow night, probably cranky from a 30 hour flight from the capital of the free world. There's a lot of anticipation and anxiety on my part regarding Brian's arrival and I definitely want to show him everything that this region has to offer. Here's to hoping that Mr. Whinypants doesn't let the heat get to him first :)

I feel your pain--I never know if I have no interests or too many as well. Everything sounds great to devote my attention to, and then nothing sounds right. When I applied to grad school, I just made something up and that seemed to do the trick. You just need to sound convinced in the applications (or in job interviews) and then, once you are in, you get to revert back to your old self!
As to your impending visitor, have a great time. I'm jealous that he gets to see you and have a local tour guide through amazing Asia. Have fun!
