Journey to Singapore

Out of nowhere, I've been transferred to Singapore for a new position...
Working under same company but different location and 'world'.

Got the information of the offer when I've been confirmed by management during mid of November 2011. Hooray!!! PASSED my probation for 6 mths time.

Started off with room hunting on 16th Jan 2012 and it is a real time consuming and energy draining task for me, a typical Malaysian who has no idea about Singapore.

Got a nice cozy room at the price of $700 with air-conditioned but without wi-fi located at Queenstown which is actually a good location at the central heart of the Singapore. I really do like it much and the only concern is the price is too high for my budget. Negotiated as usual human nature and got it at $680. Right at the same time, received a call from a colleague and she told me to hold on, which I'm deeply regretted until now after this incident happened in the past few weeks. Reason is, the room been taken at night on the same day.

As the time is getting closer and I have to return to Malaysia on the 19th, I got myself the next alternative choice at Boon Lay, far from central also where my future office is situated.

With a price of $630 without air-conditioned but with wi-fi, I'm actually a bit down and blue after I calculated the estimated expenses which I needed to survive while staying in this room in Boon Lay is actually ended up cheaper of $10 only as if compare to the Queenstown. From Queenstown to Tanjong Pagar (Where my office will be), MRT charges per month will be the $60 range while from Boon Lay will raised to $100 range!!!

Distance of travel for work will be 15 minutes (Queenstown) to 30 minutes (Boon Lay) which I'm truly fine for it, but savings of $10 at Boon Lay property without air-conditioned but with unlimited Wi-fi, is it actually worth it?

Oh my...
It's so not worth it from my point of view...
But I know there will definitely be pros and cons for each decision.

Piece of advise to all, study the transportation charges before you decide which area and room to take.

Is this it?

It's been 6 mths now and I started to wonder am I doing the same all over again.

No matter how much I tried, no appreciations no compliments but a dissatisfaction look, expressions and words. THIS REALLY HURTS...

I can be good but aint perfect. Please know that I'm only human with flesh and blood.
Working can be stressful and it could be just for a short term and take a deep breath and you can still moving forward.

I'm happy but the same time, I recall the feeling of guilt as I might did the same in my past. No more dinner for tonight as I'm already lost my appetite. Just a Pisang Goreng and we can hear and see the true voice and colors of each other. Anyway, I know what I'm doing and why I'm doing it. Can't I have my own way of dealing in different time and place and mood? I am MOODY...

Decided to move on? Should be yes. But moving on happily in this way of communication, I doubted.

When the time where each other doesn't require anything in return, this is happiness.
Why just don't let it remained the way as it was?
I don't understand...

Unemployed Month

1 mth of job hunting and there are few interested job I've been hoping to get...

Business development consultant, is about finale investment in the aspect of forex and currency as well as share market.
Not accepting it coz lack of courage to take this great challenge as it only based on purely commission. Both of my sis and Choo Hang won't take it as in their position. Only one vote from my mum that I should just go for it.

Hua Wei's is in term of usefulness for my lecturing infutire if I still pursue on the dame long term plan and definitely the range of income this position might get in the end.

Next one is the E-Commerce related position from a tour agency known as Asia Experience. Located at KLCC area, not so convenient from the place I'm currently settling down at Subang.

After a week, another positive response from Innity, an advertising company with online digital media specialist position available.
Location seems to b perfect and I wish to be part of this team... Will be under Singapore support team if I'm in.

I wish to start working journey soon. Lord, please prepare one perfect path for me...
Felt like I had enough of rest now... Want to stand on my feet and be the survivor...
As I know, You are my guide and my shelter...

The Path of Career Hunting

The 1st day of submitting my CV was on 7th Apr 2011,just right before I went to Singapore. When I came back on 12th Apr, I received few calls for interview. The schedule is full from 13th until 15th Apr. Quite surprising to me, coz at UK, it's not gonna happen that soon for a call back after submitting your CV.

Then after that, really quiet until I really started to anxious a bit on what should be the appropriate move for me in regards of my future. Always wanted to just go ahead for lecturing, but somehow, I prefer to have some field experience before I pursue on that job.

So, when looking into job street without much interest at that time, really got no idea what and which to submit my application to. Anyway, out of no choice, force myself to at least submit few in a day. Hence, I submitted to few vacancies which can be consider to be more on business aspect. Am I suitable? Probably more comfortable when talking with business people with expression on the face.

Got myself 2 more interviews this week. One on the Wednesday the 20th and another one on 21st. Both work out alright, but the Hua Wei's interview is quite pressuring. On the spot preparing the presentation on the topic which I once known well but forgotten everything about it. Another presentation will be about my past working experience as a Sales Administration in F&A. Phewww, it's over and all I can do, is just wait and see how it goes...

Crazy Adventure

Just review from my previous post, will never know it will work on us. But somehow, unme started off like few days after I touched down to the homeland of mine, Malaysia... In fact, on the 2nd time we meeting each other face to face.

It's just too fast on how our relationship grows. My concept is always started fast will end fast. Still don't have the faith by now, just not yet... Haha...

In terms of how we are supporting each other seems to be just right. Communication is alright, understanding each other is an on going process, just not sure how long it will stands working out great as right now.

I can only say, I wish the commitment is truthful and last. It will definitely keep on growing if we both stays the same and not fading throughout the longer the time we will be together for each other. No matter how, I guess this will start off to be a really weird but still full of surprises adventure for both of us.

Just purely, a thank you for accepting me for who I was and who I am.
