last day at work today....
today was my last day at work and dunno y like feeling quite weird. a bit happy, a bit sad. a bit like the feeling i had when i ord tat time. ermmm maybe ord tat time happier lah. then also suddenly like feeling like a kid again. maybe cos i'm gonna go back to studying liao and also won't be wearing shirt and pants to work for a long time, maybe until i graduate from sim lor.
going to work today definitely felt different as tat may be the last time i'll be seeing those surroundings again. so i was like taking a good look at all the machines, the building, the desk, the chair, the cupboards, the server room, the computers, etc, etc...
nothing much to do again today but dunno y like time seems to pass faster today. suddenly, i was only 1 hour away from leaving the company. so since nothing much to do, so i just wrote an email to everyone in the company to inform them abt my last day of work so tat next wednesday my office phone (ehhh no longer mine liao...) won't be ringing and then disturb anyone or trouble anyone to help me pick it up lor. then i din realise tat i was sending it to hpl (one of our subsidiaries located at toh guan) as well. i've nv been there and only knew a handful of pple there so i had not intended to send it to the pple there cos later they will be tinking "huh? who's this guy tat suddenly send us an email? i dun even noe him..." then one of the few pple there tat i knew replied my email and then i realised it.
haizzzz time really flies. still remember tat time when i went for the interview for this job, when i met my manager, i was actually much more relaxed toking to him compared to toking to all the other interviewers. so i was really quite happy to have landed the job and was even prepared to accept the offer when i tot tat the pay will only be $1200. maybe i confused it with the offer from another company... ehhhh but tat was then lah.
then tat day i just read in a forum tat when u tink abt quitting ur current job, u shld consider 3 factors; ur colleagues, the job satisfaction and ur pay. haizzz i guess for me only 1 factor was positive. and i was also really worried abt the scenario i keep tinking abt which is 5 years down the road, i may still be holding the same job title, maybe different job title but doing the same job. with only a few hundred dollars increment in pay which is most probably still under 2k. and then i'll be already 28, which is like close to being 30 already.... then i'll only have tat little bit of savings in my bank. wahhh!!! damn scary lor!!!
but then of cos a degree also can't guarantee myself anything cos it's also like getting so common tat maybe if u throw a stone in orchard rd, there's a 90% chance tat it will hit a degree holder. haha ermmmm maybe a bit exaggerating lah but maybe 10 years later it will be something like tat liao. so although i will still be competing with a lot of pple with degrees but at least it's better than competing with them with only a diploma. so actually i believe it's still a worthwhile investment lah.
haizzzz so now i have to start to mentally prepare myself to make the best of this investment of mine liao. after nuaing for sooooo long, tat time i sat in the lecture theatre for the briefing, i also can't keep my concentration for very long. i tink this will take some getting used to already. hopefully i can adapt to this change as soon as possible, starting from the orientation next week!
