Last year was a tentative year full of struggles, like an ox plowing the field, slowly sorting out the mess. This year, like a hungry tiger in the hunt for fresh prey after a good night's sleep, i want to achieve goals which marks the celebration of the 1st quarter of my life, and also signifies that it's a life worth living while i'm still young, and young at heart.
Work
Best 'Realization' Moment - Having bitching, moaning and whining about not earning enough on par with my qualifications, i'm still complaining. Nevertheless, lately I've also seen too many examples of people jumping ship and either retreating back to their old place in a record short time, or wandering out there jobless after failing to adapt and give up the new job. The examples do not serve to discourage me from pursuing a different path other than the current one in hope of moving up the ladders in life, or expand my horizon. Instead, it serves as a useful reminder to me that I must be fully prepared for the consequences of choosing to accept the challenge. I'm now thankful for a constantly learning job but am also in the process of choosing new jobs selectively which I'm pretty sure I will want to develop my career in.
Best 'Mentor Advice' Moment - I feel increasingly apprehensive with my friends resigning one by one, e about what I want with life, what do I need to do to achieve success. I started to feel at a crossroad because i haven't been achieving anything WORTHY and it's almost a quarter of my life. I know i should get out to a new environment before i become too comfortable and lose my adaptability, but i also don't want to make a rash decision which is based on motions - either choosing a job with higher pay but not what i want to do, or stuck in the current situation with no prospect. Therefore, i summed up my courage to talk to my manager to inquire about career prospect. Despite her persuasion, i can tell that my career prospect will take an awful lot of years to materialize due to the company culture. Although I became more determined to venture out, I truly admire and respect her even more greatly for her patience, her generosity and genuine care for me as a mentor.
Events
Best 'Unexpected' moment - 3 May 2010. My fiery, passionate, daring, funky little red chili egg - Maiko the Mazda 2 came. It will celebrate its 1 year anniversary in May next year with sleek, snobbish and attention-seeking Bello Russo the Alpha Romeo 159.
