My Career Path

It was a correct decision that I did not stay in M'cca to work after graduating. Mr Goh brought me to a temple to "ask" for direction on where my career location would be. The God answered that my heart is not in M'cca. Therefore, I ventured out to KL for jobs.

Perhaps my career luck was with me. I never have to worry too long when it comes finding a job. Perhaps it was becouase of this, I just settled down on a job & never stay too long. During that time, Dr Murali needed somebody to help him with one of his friend's thesis & I was offered to help edit. Till today, I feel bad on abandoning the job without informing him. During this time, I stayed in Amy's room for a month since she doesn't have a roommate.

At the same time, Qim was working in KL with Fitness First. Thereupon, he offered to help propose me to Jeremy, his subordinate for a fitness instructor. I was accepted! Lye Song was all the way helpful no matter where I ended up. I stayed at LS's house & drive an hour daily to workplace.

After 1 month of training in Menara Manulife, the training finally started in Menara Axis for 2 weeks. I get to know Hazel & often tumpang her car there. Of course, I shared cost with her. Coincidently, FF are also opening up Klang branch & are short of instructor. I have to leave Kalai & Qim in Manulife & settle in KBT. Was in Manulife for another 2 weeks while waiting for Jusco KBT to open. Finally, I settled in KBT for 5 months. By the 3rd month, I already have thought of leaving! Looks like my mind never settle on things for long. However, only the 4th month, I took the decision to resign. By this time (April 2008), I have start gaining clients. I passed all of them to my colleagues.

After leaving FF, I made a stupid decision joining Rhino Maxx. Based in Cheras (in front of UCSI), I was made a clown going around collecting donation. On the other hand, it was a good decision! I learnt a lot from the street. Only that I realized that I can't go far being there. The most I get was to work till I die. By the 2.5 months only they finally moved to the delayed location, Botanic, Klang again!

Visfinity was the new name under Casey's leadership. However, we all feel that she is being controlled by Branvan. I started to hate the job as our freedom is limited! Therefore, after being high the first month in new location, my result go downward. By Sept 2008, I already made decision to quit. However, I am a girl with word. Previously, I told GSC & Casey that I would bring GSC to expeerience the work. So, silently, I endured to another 1.5 month. While all these are going on, I found that my Aaron & Hannah are planning to quit too. at the same time, my team's spirit deteriorate. Janey was being kicked out as she doesn't perform. Sheryl was absent for a month. I also overheard that Branvan wants to lay her off too! They have previously done that to a Malay girl. It really seems like they don't have compassion towards old staff. My own leader is passive, so we don't have any bond. I pity her that she was about to lose all 3 guy within a month, including her own leader.

I started teaching swimming on July 2008. Therefore, I commute from Cheras to Klang every weekend. I can only teach on Sundays as Rhino Maxx require us to work 6 days a week. Ever since I started working, I find my freedom is so, so much limited. after working with Rhino Maxx, I find this worse! Worst when I moved to Klang!

The only period I have a normal life is when I work as an adjuster in McLarens. Even that, I have to rush back to Klang every Sat after work to avoid Federal Highway jams & reaching BRC on time. I have been reminded a few times by Anwar for being late. LS pula every time ask me out & I found myself unable to do that. Then when it comes Aquasplash's offer for a full-time worker, I accepted & suddenly find myself TOO FREE!!! See how I take jobs as it come?

With Aquasplash, I was contented. After couple of month doing nothing, naturally I think of further studies. Only that the thought came too late, I didn't do enough research to make a firm decision. Therefore, I have to wait another half a year for the next application. However, by December 2009, I start to get busy. Err, now I have a family of pets that I need to take care of.

What do you think of me?
What kind of job can I settle down?
Will taking Counselling course guarantee me a contented working life that i wish for?

Currently, I'm browsing office jobs online in Seri Kembangan so that I can focus on my studies. (Also, to get away from Lye Song).

HEAR ME OUT! PLEASE???

Dilemmas

Sometimes, we just couldn't decide for sure what we want in life. In my case - my career, the type of house that I want to live in, the exact words that I want to write.

Life is sometimes a spider web- the more we struggle, the more tangled we are. To keep cool, we need to relax. The reason we know how to relax is due to the amount of experience we have gained. Sometimes, I pity young children nowadays. They live in such technological advancement & social security obstruction that they are kept in a place so limited that they have so much more not to be explore.

My boyfriend's youngest brother is 14.5 years old now. However, I was so surprised that he was so excited upon seeing earthworm ystd! He have not seen one b4 his whole life! I can see that he has a very protective mother. Yet this is too much! I already make a decision not to let my children be taken care of by her.

Same goes to the spoilt children I teach in Botanic resort Club- the place where I work. I observed that they are so timid that it took ages for some of them to learn swimming. Perhaps, I was taught in pool as deep as 12.5ft. Whereby, Botanic pool deepest is only 2.00m aka 6ft+. I remembered that I'm always in frustration teaching swimming to those so timid that they don't even want to put their head into the water.

I've written that Lye Song & I were planning to buy a house. Actually, I was the one who suggested to invest in buying a house since LS has abundant of surplus every month that he'll still waste into buying unnecessary things. Yet, he doesn't have a clear view of what type of house to buy. Till now, none of us are serious buyer. It's already nearly a year. I wonder when my feeling will come.

LS friends once say that he likes to complain. HE IS! There just seem no hose to suit him! He wants to stay in an apartment, yet I don't quite agree with this idea as we need to move out again after we have children. Unless, I confirm that I'm moving back to M'cca with my children while LS stays here for work. If he's willing to sacrifice, he'll have to travel back to M'cca every fortnight for us.

My career - I still have not get a finite answer. I already decide to progress towards this career, yet where else can I proceed into. Must I work in educational related institution only, or can I work in private practice? Is there any other place that I can reach out for more people?

I'm passing my time waiting. How old am I on the inside? Too old? Coz I consumed too much time waiting for the right opportunity to come to me...
