I have left Pizza Hut job

As my car is totally damaged, I have left my Pizza Hut job. But I am continuing my part time teaching with College in the morning. One person rides me and my daughter in the morning to reach school. She charges really little so I can afford. Meanwhile I am looking for a car as you can go almost no where in Dallas area without car. Hiring a private taxi is expensive in Dallas area.

Although I have no car now, I am enjoying life as winter is coming gradually. In the evening, I experience cool breeze that really gives me new strength to fight back. Indeed I am much better than the people living in Somalia now, who are dying from hunger and starvation. Mothers are moving to another place on foot in search of food but they are carrying only those child who can survive until food station, and leaving the rest in the streets.

All my savings get finished in USA

My today's bank balance has been record low, even I can not survive another one month with this savings. Luckily I have a job at Collin College and they will pay some money after few weeks. So I can run my family for another four months as my contract with Collin College would be ended in December 2011.

Whatever the resources I brought to USA from Malaysia, all is finished as I could not manage suitable job over the last 14 months due to economic downturn. The salary I receive from Collin College will allow me to pay house rent and one month meal. There will be no saving at all at the end of the day. I am looking for alternative sources of income and probably I will get back to my father (Normally father earns  for his family and we children get helped out of it  without any effort)

In addition to that, last week my car broke down and I took it to a guarage. The mechanics so far failed to repair it. I have only one car in my possession and in Dallas area, without a car you can go no-where as the public transportation system is designed poorly. They encourage private ownership of vehicles.

She is asking me, I want to see how long you can survive in this way?
As long as You want, I reply.
Yes, that is the answer, She Smiles.

But I am enjoying the situation as I am learning new things, never faced before. Last time I had a good job, spent money easily but now I can not. But last time I did not learn hardship, so could not learn life. Now I am gathering knowledge, making me competitive and knowledgeable. Thanks to Her for opening a new avenue of learning.
