A date I commenced work in Company Q. So do the other 30s of us, all from different background bringing different goals and dreams in a new environment. It all happen in a blink of eye, we are one year old now, our experiences are one year old now. Like it or not, we walked through mud pool with safety shoes, we sailed through problems with sleepless nights. What's cooking? we eat 'em. What's falling, we embrace 'em. That was how we go about, for the pass one year.
Maybe it wasn't so fun for me compared to other colleagues whom joined Company Q together. I was only given a candy as to spend 2 miserably short weeks in Germany. I was tucked in the mud pool when others are happily skiing in snowy mountains. I was looking through tonnes of drawings and design documents when others are having team building in Venice. I was awake at night when others showed me droplets of snowflakes. I was eating mixed rice in contractor's canteen when others were munching steaks in full air-con canteen. How very demotivating. Anyhow, those difficult times had pass and I am very much a better person now or could I really say so?
There are times when I shouted at myself, why would I bother to join this company at all? All the empty promises, double standards, unknown fates. But nevertheless, I can't deny my total make over here. Being able to do what I'm capable to do now actually made my stay worthwhile. I enjoy the feelings of being in control, and thanks to the severe working environment, things are paved out. Paved out from hard work. And this experience is just so so valuable.
