The last two days have been pretty 'thrilling' notice the inverted commas... afterall it's a new environment now, down to KPI, tasks, deadlines and all...stress and eyerings creeping back to my life... but I'll be ready to take on the challenges as they come
been meeting lots of friends recently and it's a joy to see all well and happy at their jobs. Sometimes it hit me that our worries were unfounded after all, not being able to find our calling in life, not finding a job that pays decently... But I must constantly remind myself not to slip into an employee life pattern, I want to be a biz owner one day. back to reading the book "never eat alone' =)

The most nerve wrecking lunch
With a sigh of relief, I'm glad to have survived my first ever self introduction in front of the big shots at work.. had to talk about my D I S C profile, my greatest achievement and my future aspirations. what is seemingly easy to accomplish face to face with another person has become ten times harder with successful individuals scrutinizing you the entire 3 mins, breathing down your neck, trying to dissert your personality.
I'm glad to be a survivor and my mentor rox! He's formerly from the SAF but has made a huge transition into the corporate world now... hope to interact more with him in the future.

Deja vu
Shagged, braindead and smelly from a two shifts work day, I suddenly shuddered at a fleeting thought that went through my mind. This job is like an army one! with the exception of assisting an operation where the outcome that matters a lot more, the rest seems the same for both jobs. In terms of the level of discomfort, requirement to work over time AND overnight, use of jargons like (mess, officer, book in/out etc) I am going to go crazy at this rate soon...

Updates on my work life!
Time sure passes by quickly... one time I was slogging away for FYP and now I've entered a new phase of my life-- working life! it's scary to realize that fact at times-- after all the 16 years of studying... responsibilities have changed and my attitude has to changed too... new people in my life... what a great deal to handle each day...
Other than my close friends, I feel that the bonds between my Uni friends are fading... trying hard to hold on to them, I tried to meet up whenever I'm free but it seems so tiring at times... my eyerings get darker and the situation seemed nonetheless better. maybe I need to accept the fact that things have changed, people have moved on and so must I.
sound quite pessimistic isn't it? But all is not lost.. somehow Zj and I had more time to meet than ever and the situation might even improve if I work at the HQ =) but nothing is confirmed as of now =(
It's only 2 weeks into my work and my colleagues and i are performing at the LSA talentine competition tomorrow! The girls will be dancing the HOT wondergirls and I hope I wun make any mistake as I did today during the rehearsal.. it's tough catching up with them after missing the first session. ANd why did I miss it? Cos of my Hong Kong trip.. and it is sure memorable, the first trip Zj and I made tog... It was very eventful for sure and we certainly shopped till we dropped... my bank is super wiped out now =( hahaha but we've memories that will now last for life... will post up the photos on my facebook soon hehe
i couldnt help but realize that I am making more time for my friends than my family... it's like when I'm home, they ain't and when I reached home, my sis will be at her computer, my dad at work and my mum sleeping... even weekends are not spared. hope to improve this part of my life soon, gonna spend more time with my family, my beloved ones =)
