The Journey

Today during lunch time, meet of some of the old friend. Different people has move on to different job, quite a number of them surprise to see me change job. Yeah Finally I change job after 9 years with the previous company. Some of them ask me, why change job. Well I just don’t want to get the “Long Serving Award” I answered them jokingly. Sometime I think back, if I happen to change a different path, it means I change job more often like the rest of them do. Will I go further then where I am at this moment? May be, may be not.

I always believe that this path is a destiny from God. There is something that He wants you to archive and there is something that He wants you to learn from every station that you stop. Well, may be it takes a long time for me to archive some of the goal that’s why I’m there for 9 years. (Because I’m always blur blur)

What ever it is I will say during the 9 yeas I have learn a lot at a very broad level especially the last 2 years. Not only in IT technical skill. People management skill, handling contractor, project after project, business concept…. And I earn lot of friendship too. I enjoy the job there but I guest that is as far as I can go in the previous organization, I have reached the peak and it is time to exit.

After moving on from education industry and project management experience now I’m joining the media statistic and market research industry. It is a total different industry, different culture and different way of handling people too. Although I’m here as a IT guys, but basically nothing much on the IT site that I need to worry. Everything is automated, well and good… I will start to busy when some network or server crashed… (touch wood).

At this point of time, I still don’t have a clue of what will be the direction of my job scope. But I already have a hint from the management that I will get rope in to the production and involved in day to day business operation. Well, let wait and see and hope for the best… and may be it is for the better… as I always wondering what will I do if I get out of the IT industry. ….heem… may be God answered prayer..

After being busy for a while and now got some spare time (while waiting for my wife to pick me up from the office, she try to use the ERL service from putrajaya to work). It is good to just take a step back and review what have you miss during the busyness of life.

A year ago before Zoe arrived, lot of people tell me ones your kid arrive you don’t have time for yourself any more. Which is true. You seldom have the time for yourself any more as your kid will require more attention and will grape most of your time.

Sometime when I think back, after Zoe, yes it is busy, tired and restless but it is worth it. It is some wonderful experience that beyond word to describe. On the tired night, when she wake you up for milk and when she first see you, she smile. Her sweat smile will melt your heard. You will feel like, you have bring lot of hope to her and she being waiting for you.
Like she telling you

“Ah.. here you are, I being waiting for you”…
When is my DD/MM going to carry me…

The joy of having her around is wonderful.

On the other note, there are also some challenging time when she get cranky and refuse to sleep… that’s is the fact of life

Finally today I got some free time after being busy for a while. Huh.. time fly and it really fly. It has been a while I didn’t update my blog, there are so much thing that I want to talk about but after being busy for a while, lot of thing has been forgotten.
