執著面對 任性的沉醉
並不在乎 是錯還是對
就算深陷 也不顧一切
就算執迷 也執迷不悔
用你的心 去看去感覺
因為這次 是你不是誰

Before 33
A few events mark the last day before I turn 33.
Finally
Finally the day to move on arrives.
Finally packed and cleared out of my cube.
Finally ready to move on professionally.
Did not feel sad about leaving the job...but some how relieved the day is finally here. Maybe 7.5 years was just too long.
Touched
Touched by the well-wishing by many I bid my farewell.
Touched by the gift the team handmade...it will be hanging in my new office.
All Pass
Ready go!
Sprint...Grab...Sprint...Drop...Sprint...Grab...SPRINT....
5 points!!
It was like music to my ears! YES! Finally cleared my IPPT cycle having to fail shuttle run (yes...shuttle run) at the 11th hour...never felt so relieved
Hmm...but another cycle starts tomorrow..*sigh*

A friendship lost
Tomorrow is a friend's birthday...
Though we seldom keep in contact since after junior college, I still treated him as a very good friend, at least I treated him as a very close friend of mine. Someone whom I'll be able to, be glad to see and rattle on and on for hours about our lives even though we didn't stay in touch through the years. Then he left for his studies in Australia 1996 and did very well. Subsequently he went on to work in Germany in 2000.
He call my dad and asked for my contact when I was working in France in 2000 and we got in-touch again. We even agreed to meet up for the autumn in Germany but after the summer thereafter our contacts were lost again and we never met up.
In 2002 through a mutual friend and his best buddy since childhood days, I last know he was working in Hong Kong but didn't get the chance to get his contact.
4 years from then....I did not know where he is or how he was doing...Tomorrow will be his birthday so I decided to try to get his contact. To my surprise, he got married in June 2004 in Bali to a French girl. I'm glad for him really as he finally found someone to share his life with. But then again I was some how disappointed. Suddenly I realised I wasn't that close a friend to him afterall. I was wondering why I wasn't notified of his big day and be part of his big step in life? Maybe to him I was merely a friend.
While we never keep in touch all these years, I thought our friendship will never end...but somehow today I felt that our friendship was lost...

I am 32 going on 33...
Had an interesting conversation with my mum earlier when I reach home...
Mum : Heard you are changing your job.
Me : Yeah, after the chinese new year.
Mum : How come never tell anyone?!
Me : Told dad the other day already.
Mum : How come you quit your job without asking your dad first?!!
Me : I'm already 32 going to 33...think I can make the decision myself!
Mum : As long as you are still staying under the roof with us...you are still a kid! So should have asked our opinion first!
Me : *eyes roll*
Hmm...when you are 33 years old and still staying with your paraents means you are in Neverland? An eternal kid forever? Maybe it's time to move out......

Happy New Year
A Big Leap Ahead
2006...a new year dawns. While I'm just warming up after a long break and still wondering what it holds for me this year.
In a span of 3 days, I got a call for job interview, went through a round of interview, met the CEO, had job offer, decided to take the leap, tendered my resignation and accepted the job offer. Just 6 days into the New Year and it had been the most eventful days of my professsional life.
It was an emotional roller coaster and if I dare say, nerve-racking and stressful. First I was feeling happy on the opportunity of a job interview, nervous during the interview and meeting the big man, in a state of shock to be given the offer on the spot just after a 2 hour interview, confused and undecided about my fit into the new position, scared and needing to summon all the courage (i dunno why though) to tender my resignation, relieved upon signing the letter of offer but I now...I feel weired...f**king weird...
Had always thought that tendering my resignation would be as easy as the bits and bytes, but somehow I was in a state of loss...it was rather scary in fact. I had the letter ready the first thing in the morning but it took me till after lunch before i had enough courage to send the letter in. Guess many thoughts went through my mind...the questions on whether I was irresponsible, am I leaving at a bad time, am I letting down the team whom I have grown so fond working with. Of course there are exasperations in the office...but am I making the right decision.
Since I got the offer, these questions went through my mind again and again like a broken record on duracells repeating over and over and over...Finally I decided to follow my gut feel and take the leap. However, I still feel weird...I'm happy at the same time I'm feeling sad and uneasy...guilty at times but relieved at the same time....but for sure I would definitely be missing all the friends...Hopefully the friendship does not end here with the end of our professional relationship....
