Working Life

Finally, i manage to secure a job in this period of economic downturn. Surprisingly, I did not end up in any Foreign Ministry or international Non-Governmental Organization or Research Institute like I've planned. Instead, I'm now in the private electrical engineering company. I am sure most of my lecturers in the University would be shocked to know what I am doing now...lol

I could never imagine myself, a nerd in electrics to be working in this industry. It is totally different from what I have studied. Yet, it is a brand new experience for me. I do appreciate the given opportunity, and I am eager to know the feelings of working, earning and spending my own money^^

Staying in Kepong and working in Shah Alam is not a very good idea. However, it is not so bad though. I would say tat to some extent we do have fine expressway in Malaysia , but it comes back to the same problem of maintenance. Holes are found on the roads, and for some split roads, I doubted if the design matches any road safety standard.

To wake up early in the morning is not an issue for me, but I would say patience is a very important value for one to survive in the heavy traffic in this region. It takes about 20mins for me to reach the office in a smooth traffic. Yet, due to the horrible traffic condition, it takes another 20mins to stuck in the traffic....haiz....A five-minute-late, would cost me another 20mins to reach the office -_-"

Today would be the last day of my second week here. Well, for a freshie who doesn't know anything about business, I think I am doing pretty well to catch up the working flow in the office. Yet, I hope for more motivating atmosphere in the office...
