Reflections of year 2008.

Hello December 2008!!Time flies... As my mind still vividly remember the conversation during CNY 2008 with all friends, December come knocking.. Wow!! Christmas is here!!

Let's refresh, what happened in year 2008...

The greatest change of me in 2008 is me landed myself ina new job.I was still working in my 1st company in the early years, after much delay of the idea of leaving. I remember I celebrated CNY with my secondary school collega friends as usual. At De Cacao with secondary school friend, our batchmate is getting more at late night, many come to the same spot without arrangement, and eventually we form a big group there, chatting away the night, with the friends whom we hardly speak to in high school, but speak like 10 years friend now. :) That's life.

I finally made up my mind to leave my 1st company, without planning what to do after leaving. That time, I only think--- I have to make the move. Otherwise I will be always here and nothing will happen, anyway. So, tada! i finally give da letter to my boss. Many were asking where am I going, and when my answer is I don't know, I see all kinds of shock and weird faces. Hmm....

Sometimes, I believe, we have to make the decision, and the solution will come on its own. I tried to apply to a few position, and went for a few interviews, Most required me to work in Klang Valley, and I'm not very comfortable with the area they require me to work. It was quite a hard decision. I'm afriad I will lose the job, at the same time worry that I will not like the job.

Eventually I found a good job, sorry.. a job I thotught was good, and landed myself in the company. So, i say goodbye to all bosses and business associates and colleagues and family, then start my new journey in life in KL. It was my first time in life to drive to KL from my hometown up north, driving to and fro for few trips. My temporary stay in KL was good, (because company bear all charges) hahah....

I start my new job in June after a trip with whole gang of friends from the same field to Sabah. Feel sad for not being able to join them in the future in view of the busy schedule. What to do?? Life goes on....

I was assigned to run a brand new concept store in North in Aug 2008. I was back in North in early Aug to prepare for the new store opening. I tell you, it was extremely challenging and interesting, and suffering!! Sigh.... I wake up early in the morning and came home late night, asking myself why am I doing all this. I keep telling myself, I have to survive until the store open, i simply cannot stop halfway. how torturing also I must go through t and make it happen. It really happened, my store was officially borned on 22 Aug 2008. It was a happy morning, happy day for me, all my colleagues and my bosseSS. It was also the 1st time of me chatting with the CEO of my company, with much honour.

It is a very new experience for me, with many extra condition that I have to fulfill, which I don't have to in my previous job, for example monthly target, supermarket management, incentives scheme, the so many types of procedureSSSS, I actually didn't take it seriously, until I notice I can really make it, that's when I try to take it as a challenge. Afterall, if i am able to achieve what is expected, it will certainly help my staff to get a better life. (they get more $$)

I actually always complaint and many a times, thought of giving up initially. Miracle happened, as said by my colleague, that i start to love my job eventually now.

Silly hor??..

Like something I can't have.

In life, sometimes, we have to choose and make decision. I have 2 things that I like, but I can't have it.

1st, a relationship. I'm afraid I can't have it, because we have different path in life. We are also in different place far away. I do not know whether there will be any outcome if we put our effort. How to maintain? How to build? Even if we can build and maintain it very well, we are not sure whether the relationship will have any happy ending. Reality bites.

2nd, a career that I once thought of giving up. I am now loving it. Amazing how I can transform from dislike a career to slowly loving it. One of my colleague say, "You are the first person to say that.. there must be a miracle that happened." hmm... I believe I come to this stage after going through the up and down all this while. It's more like an evolution. Unfortunately I discovered another side of me, whereby I am now at the junction of life again, time to make yet another decision that.determine my life. Hmm... Big decision.. I shall absorb it, decide and act fast. I need support!!!!

So, that's me now.. :~
