Just this week, I went through an emotion roller coaster of ending my career at One Net after 4.5 years there, my longest serving job so far. Honestly, I feel proud of myself being able to strive through the last 4.5 years doing many things that I have never thought I could have done, including rebranding, corporate comm, crisis comm, strategic pitching for public relations etc. I have done so many events in the past that I see organizing or participating in events are becoming more like a norm now. I have so much emotional attachment to this company that I feel that I own every single particle in the new office in the north, including the furniture, the wall paper, the tiles and colours of everything that we have chosen for this office 2 years ago. Time flies, I will never forget the most difficult period where I was holding the marketing fort myself with my boss without much logistics support. Tough time is all I can say..... but I guess tough time don't last but tough people do. :) I am glad that I have been through this shit to get to where I am today, no regrets coz everything that I have done has benefited me in many ways, including building confidence to make decision, be practical about how things can be done at best effort and of course getting to know many valuable friends in the industry.
Coming to friend, I am grateful for a friend who have introduced me to my new job today where I started on 10 Aug 2017, immediately after my last day and a day of PH for National Day. If you ask me, why don't take a break. I REALLY WISH TO but cannot because of the 2.5 months wait that the company has waited for me. I feel bad to delay any day further so I have to forked out compensation to reduce my notice period to join this new company. Well...after spending 2 days at the new job, I can only say "good luck" to myself because I foresee super high expectations of my joining the team to salvage the products that I am handling though I am not really the pro yet. Sigh....well, since the new boss has so much confidence that I can help in this portfolio, I will definitely need to do my best to prove my worth somehow. However, the pressure is somewhat overwhelming...too many things that I have learn and start getting work done without any adapting period seems too much for me, perhaps for my age now. Haha...the colleagues are generally fine but just find the environment is simply too noisy and bitchy given that I love peaceful work place for thinking. Really cannot stand doing administrative work myself e.g. raise business case, request for budget, getting things from soooooo many depts just to get one simple thing done will definitely drive me crazy if I can't keep zen!
Within 1 week, I have transited into new job, new environment and new people around me. Starting to feel tired to adapt to changes as age catches up. Well, constantly reminding myself to stay positive and do my best for the new role, hopefully won't disappoint anyone including myself. Jia you, Stareo! ;(
