career change…
sometimes change is unavoidable. some changes are due to demands, need and just becoz someone needs something else. yes i have been MIA for quite sometime here but it is becoz i just made the decision to quit my job in penang and come back to KL for another job. no doubt the job scope would be similar and the hours are different (UK shift hours for the job in KL) but i think it is time for me to leave penang.
not that i do not like the job in penang but then i have started not to look forward coming to work everyday. sometimes it is a sign to yourself that you are not enjoying the job. i enjoyed the job at first. during the 1st 3 months on the job but after that it just got more and more worse. plus the life style in penang is not in sync with the my work life style. at work, it is stressful and up tight but then the penang lifestyle is easy and slow. sometimes it does make me feel lazy and not want to go to work.
but when i was back in KL, everything was fast paced, the job, the lifestyle and you have to have the stamina to keep up with everything. it is best that i go back to that lifestyle else if i get too relaxed, i would never want to move on and or move up in my life. i guess looking at some ppl in my team, some of them have been on the job for a couple of years and doing the same thing every day. they have not gotten anywhere in their career or they just simply are too relaxed in their current role. looking at that, it would be impossible for me to see myself on the same job and on the same role for more than 1-2 years time. i would want to either move up or move to different role within that time. but looking at the lifestyle and also the way things are done in the company, it would be impossible for me to move upwards in the company if i do not put in at least a few years time on a certain role.
that is why i made the decision to move to another company and hopefully that i could do better there. speaking of moving back to KL, i realised that there is so many things that i got here… i gotten really comfortable here and bought many things in penang. now i am thinking how on earth am i gonna move all these things back??? so i be moving back after chinese new year as my new job would be starting on the 1st of march.
when i gave my resignation letter on tuesday, i actually felt really relieved and that this is the a good decision. i cant tell whether it would be the right decision but i know i made a good decision for myself. i cant predict the future so i guess for now i just have to make do with what i have.
also moving back to kl doesnt mean that i am moving back with my parents. i was actually surprised to find out that my dad was really ok if i were to live on my own back in kl. he told me that it would be better as he find that maybe if i had my own life outside it would make the relationship between me and my parents better. i guess it does. as far as i know, i want to make things easier for my parents. i do not really mind what they think of me but what as long as i do my best to help them.
anyway will post again tomorrow (i promise) coz i wont be doin anything tmrw as it would be singles most dreaded day : Valentine’s Day… humbug… yuck..
