One Year Old

15.09.2008

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.

The most valuable experience other than starting up the fab, was to know a gang of colleagues who is all time supportive and funny. Thanks to them my hard days in Company Q seems okay. All the best, colleagues.. may you guys get blessed with a better job next time! haha....

W.O.T.P.

10th of November 2012, the day we booked our first property together as husband and wife. It was indeed a huge milestone after we signed our ROM papers. This is a luxury condominium developed by Selangor Dredging Berhad and it's located at Bandar Tun Hussein Onn, Batu 9, Cheras Selatan. This is a very interesting development because it is situated on 8.9 acres of Freehold land with 4.2 acres of landscaped environment (Yes, half of the development is actually greenery!) The unit built-up range between 916 sq. ft. to 4,311 sq. ft. and sold for about RM450 - RM680 per square feet.  We bought a unit at Block C which is lowest block on the left. Location of W.O.T.P. with proposed MRT station few kilometers away.  The lovely greenery and facilities are really serene and awesome! Facilities: 50m lap pool Children’s wading pool Children outdoor play area Teen’s play area 2 nos. of indoor badminton courts Gym/ aerobi...

What am I?

It has been some time since I last updated this blog. Heaps of stuff happened and I just had the time to pull a break and evaluate the events that happened to me in the past 1 month. I've changed my job, moving into sales line is not an easy decision to make. I was doubtful with myself until I really come on board. Perhaps it may be too soon to tell where I stand in this job, but I was really thankful that my current boss gave me an insight of myself. We had sessions to understand what are our temperament. This is something that govern what kind of job that fits us. Apparently I am an "Artisan" after few rounds of personality tests. An artisan loves freedom, leads by taking action, seeks to have impact and variation, needs appreciation, a risk taker, problem solver and an opportunist. When I read the full description bout what I am, I immediately understand why I felt in constraint and bored working in the manufacturing line. I am just not that type of person that falls i...

Life

I'll be quarter a century old in a day. In a day's time my birthday would come, and most probably would just simply go. Didn't expect much this year, or maybe age has certain impact on me. I'll be 25 soon. This is so alarming scary, time just flew too fast. Everything changes. I looked like awfully nerdy 3 years ago when I was still in UPM. I've started working one year ago, this was the fastest one year in my life. Life has been so committed to work and work, I couldn't realise time flew across and here I am. Evaluating what I've done over the past 1 year. I've learnt many many things, both in life and in work. From an ordinary 2nd upper graduate to now a project engineer. Nothing big achieved but I felt contented, at least I'm working towards my goal. It's just kinda overwhelming to think back times, was so excited on the 1st day of kindy, was so nervous going into primary school compound, was so trilled to step into secondary school, was so c...
