Took 3 days off last week to sneak away from the dready workplace. After 3 hours drive from Bukit Jalil (I was attending a 2-days course there), when I was back at my home sweet home, it was already late at night.
Had a night out with of my 2ndary school buddies, which I have not met for almost ten months. That's not too long, as we used to meet only once a year previously ;P Ten months is a rather short period to me, hmm... too short to see any changes on myself, ya.. I am still the old me, after all these years.
Most of my friends seemed to get better and better, or should I say getting prettier and getting higher pay? (have to admit that this is my main concern at this moment) I was kind of "outstanding" during the schooling days, almost score all the exams fastastically. I even got scholarship during my uni years. And eventually, thanks to the schorlarship, I am here, being tied down for 5 long years... doing something that I am not into at all. The nature of the job is not really bad, but i just don't like it, mostly because of too much commitment required, which I need to be on-call for 24 hours, including weekends, unless I am on leave or outstation. I din get much self development from my current career, as I am thinking of switching to other profession after this, I started to worry that whatever I have done for these 5 years is going to be wasted. 3 years has past, 2 more years to go, I should start to utilize this coming 2 years wisely to get ready for the "profession switching".
Coming to end of the year, its appraisals time again. I am expecting a rather avarage score this year as I know that I am not performing well. Supprisingly, the results is out of my expectation. I got 2 marks more than the score last year. Can't help feeling a lil bit overjoyed ;D. Well, this appraisal scores is going to give a direct impact on my year end bonus and salary increment.

The bonus is disappointing. It shrank! Most probably due to the windfall tax applied to the power station, as claimed by the boss.
ReplyDeleteI have finally enrolled for the MBA course, at a rather new university. I don’t know what’s the ranking of this uni, but the best part is I don’t have to attend classes, as this is ODL.
ReplyDeleteThe new semester will be started in Jan 2009, I'd better get prepared for the studying life again.
Got my increment letter today. *Whee*
