A Cross Road


  1. It's been 4 months since i submitted my master degree thesis. The change that i had been talking about yet to materialize. 
  2. There are quite a handful of things that i am interested in pursuing and of course there is also some challenges and obstacles that i have to overcome.
  3. I am teaching myself, and convincing myself that somehow, things will fall into place. My experience taught me that, too many things that already happened is not planned and cannot be planned. I can only be ready and open to opportunity as much as possible and strike when the door is open.
  4. It will be interesting for me to note down what is in my mind now and then compares it 4-5 months later down the road.
  5. The first option is working in the Biz Dev / Strategy / Marketing of a Large MNC preferably in Green Tech Industry. I will get to learn more and expand my horizon, experiencing another level of growth and witnessing good system at work. The main consideration is whether i can speak the MNC lingual, do i made the cut, and what will be the career progression from then onwards?
  6. The second option is exploring career opportunity in Financial Analyst sector. I have quite a few interest and finance is one part of it. I guess as finance is largely link with economy and thus driving my strong interest and desire to learn. The main consideration is again on qualification and opportunity available. The market is bad, and among all industries, finance industries are the most "realistic", "number oriented" industry where everything is tune to the ROI, Breakeven analysis, Opportunity Cost whenever it comes to deciding on project or hiring.
  7. The third option is to further my doctorate degree. The main question that bothers me now is, why doing it ? I like the intellectual exchange, the academic rigor as well as the enlightening moment. I enjoy the process of creating knowledge as well as the art of teaching and sharing, helping others to achieve certain level of intellectual awareness and critical thinking. Are these reasons enough to sustain my decision? Again, am i good enough to be given the opportunity to do it abroad? 
  8. I can only pray for the best. I just kept telling myself that, here i have three options; perhaps it is not really something that i can demand for, or ask for. I can only anticipate, waiting for the opening of the door of opportunity. Haha, sometime circumstances shape our choices and our path. I am not denying the fact that we can work hard and get what we really wanted in life. It is just that; at times, we cannot amend or change the event of life that bound to happen, but rather such events that happened changes who we are.
