2) Yes after such a long pause since I last updated here, two years had passed. It is my original aim for the creation of this blog to record my story, my growth, my thoughts and opinion. A great amount of courage and honesty is necessary to carry out personal reflection and record here.
3) I'll be honest here to recollect what happened during the period of Not Updating Blog first. To address the elephant, Firstly; After the very trip to AUS, I had gotten the answer I needed. There is a long road to recovery and further soul-searching. Of course subconsciously I might had knew the outcome long before but that very moment is very important to discover the truth, to acknowledge the reality.
4) I'm glad to be blessed with very good bunch of friends to help me through. In fact, I guess God has been really kind in his way to bless me with a cute, understanding, opinionated in her way, someone who indeed care and love me all equally. After a long indecisive period and finally with all the courage gathered I had confessed in a trip to Pangkor with her on Dec'19. Everything else then is history. During the whole process, many things had changed and one will know how great the magnitude is if I tell you that I am now a Vegetarian and I am now an Yi-Kuan-Dao follower.
5) I have always knew that my job at TXPG will only be a stop-over point. I am not fully satisfied with the work there as the change of management and management decision is very fluid and uncertain. Having said that, I had grab the opportunities provided by my job role there with both hand; to explore into a variety of industry ( Semiconductor, HVAC, MLS, Aerospace) as well as thermoforming technology. These had further equipped me with more knowledge and industry know-how.
6) It was a twist of fate if you ask me. I am now blogging in my dormitory at the Philippines. By chance I was given the opportunity to join a multinational EMS companies and the my 10 years experience in this industry should be very handy in my project management role here.
7) It was rather challenging period for me to join a new job. Owing to the Covid-19 pandemic, the worldwide lockdown and international travel restriction had caused me to be frictionally unemployed for around 4 months. I'm now servicing my 14 days quarantine at hostel before I can start my new role here.
8) Despite of the worries on loss of income and the withdrawal of the job offer; I am glad that the four months are put into good use. I had spend 2 months to dine at my gf place at night, to get to know her, her family, lifestyle and exchange of our values which enhances our understanding of each other. Another 2 months I had spent with my family. I guess it is not likely for me to stay with parents for two months if I am not out of Job. The last time I spend so much time at home with my parents will be around 15-16 years ago when I attended Form 6 and 2 years after I graduated before moving to Penang. I cherished every moment I spent with her and my family. As I aged, my priorities changed and family seems more important to me now.
9) Having said that, my decision to leave home and work afar seems contradicting. There are a few reasons for my decision. With 10 years of industrial experience, I think this job offer is a great opportunity for me to move up another level; from a privately owned company to the Malaysia listed company and finally to the MNC. It will provide me with even more exposure, learning curve as well as opportunity to perform. It was also my dream to work/ study overseas and this job offer helps me to achieve it. Also, with hostel, meals and transport provided this will be a good opportunity for me to earn and save some money for my future family planning. All in all, I thought it was a correct move for now.
10) I knew it will not be a bed of roses here. I have to stay true to my aim and the targets that I wish to achieve here. Stay focus and professional. I miss my family, I miss her and I miss my home country. It will be only temporary before I can reunite with them. Let's stay focus, and perform to achieve the target which I had set here.
End Note: A very condensed version of my last two years journey and my next destination. Hopefully more to come.
