2008 New Year New Job

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Off Topic:

Cost of living has really gone up drastically. What meagre sum we earn from bank interest is senseless compared to the percentage of inflation strucked onto the public. I have upgraded to eating white bread instead of green bread.

I marched into a new office at the begining of 2008 and now already a confirmed staff as my probation period lapsed. Spent a total of 3 years with Gates, a rubber belt and hoses manufacturer as a product marketing specialist then product specialist for their industrial products. Don't ask me why the change but its a direction given by "atas".

My untidy office filled with product samples from suppliers, magazines and post-it notes. I am currently handling steering and suspension parts. Behind my chair, there is a steering tie rod assy on the ground.

Felt kind of stagnant at the old ground, as they say, grass are always greener at the other side. So its time to cross the fence and see how good other places could feed me. Anyway, my motive is to learn and gather as much experience. I spent 4.5 years in manufacturing field, did a career switch to experience sales and marketing majoring in product management and has been with this field for 3 years. Guess will be in this field for good since I have 3 stripes on my shoulder.

The only nice thing about my spot is a bird's eye view of Arab Street and is that Kampung Glam? This is one of the preserved historical sites in Singapore.

I guess there are many out there who are still unsure of what their career path would be. On and off, I am still wondering if I had made the correct move. At the moment, I'll just stick to what i have and see what the future has to offer.
