3 mths worth
Friday, October 17, 2008
So i've completed my 3 months stint at a financial institution, for those around, u'll know which one im talking about.
I was beginning to enjoy the job and tadah... times up, the lady whose on maternity has given birth, rested aplenty and ready to reclaim her place in society. its not the job thats enjoyable, its the ppl around tts made it a nice place. no doubt i still do some sai kang but once awhile im tasked with more value-add tasks. one of those is to troubleshoot system for the helpless end users. that felt gd, especially when they thank you and u suddenly become all nice and worthy.
side note: thou i did my time in india so im farely used to indian culture and life, i still cant recognize their faces. to me, everyone still looks the same, same belly, same moustache, same slang, about the same hairstyle, and more or less same dressing. and at my place, its not like theres only a handful of indians, the whole level is 80% dominated by our dark friends. as my colleuge says the place round the corner is the "land of the dark". i should be glad im able to use chinese with my department mates as 8/10 speak chinese.
emotions aside, i have to admit the job is not for keeps if ur ambitious, i really dun see myself earning 4-5k in 4 yrs time with this job thou they say with a degree, progression is much speedy. wat better time to tryout my life than now when im young, full of drive, no commitments, ready to take the plunge.
Thou nearly 99.9% of ppl i spoke to think now is a bad time to join the financial planning industry, im still going head-on right into the midst of everything. Theres nothign to prove, just to learn things im much more interested in and maybe a potential last job.
so one milestone cleared and more to go.
To a better tomorrow.
