Hi world,
How is everybody? And omg,
do I still have readers? Oh well, I can treat this little blog of mine as a
place to rant and a place where I can talk to myself- and IF I do have readers (lol) – HELLO THERE
* fanatic waves. This will be my first post in 2015 after 2-3 years of hiatus hahaha. I am such a terrible "blogger".

| This is me, dear blogging world. I have been gone for too long, in case nobody recognizes me, if there is anyone even reading lol (Snatch this picture out of FB cause I am lazy like that) |
You might be surprise but
I am drafting and writing this from work. I am on my second week into this job.
I would say I have a lot to learn as I have never been in the education/corporate
line before and I am currently attached to Sunway Le Cordon Bleu located in
Sunway University. Before I go on about the pros and cons about my current job,
let’s see how and what I have been doing ever since I left school/uni and
joined the workforce which I wished I never had hahah.
I wouldn’t want to bore
you and myself, so here is a brief one. I left Taylor’s with a bachelor degree
in 2013 and joined the workforce in 2013 itself and my first job was in Star
Radio Group as a Sales Executive selling radio airtime/packages and servicing
agencies. I joined with zero knowledge and working experience without knowing
what I was getting myself into. I resigned about 7 months later not having the
interest to continue what I was doing. However, I got myself into quite a
trouble while I was in SRG. Something to do with conflict of interest. Yes,
that was how silly and lack of experience I was BUT everybody learns somehow
right? HAHAHA.
Then came the story of me
joining the agency as a Media Planner – Mindshare Malaysia. Yeap, if you are in
the media/ advertising line, you can sort of guessed how I got offered a
position there. I was indeed servicing Mindshare when I was in SRG. I would
stay in the office up till 1am and that is not even surprising. Some colleagues
of mine will go the distance and stay overnight at the office or return to the
office on weekends. Well, I went back into the office at 10pm once just to get
my laptop because I couldn’t get a task out of my mind if I did not complete it
by that day itself. I had a love hate relationship internally with my buyers/
schedulers and also my beloved clients. Don’t get me wrong, I do love some of
my clients. Yes, you read that right –SOME. Lol. I was the happiest when I
often get compliments from clients on how I am as a person on job. These
comments often comes right in front of my face or through my boss as they
talked about it privately. I had a hard time leaving but it was not what I
would like to do for a long time. I would dread Monday on Friday night itself.
That was how crazy it was. Needless to say, it took all my gym time away.
RevAsia Lifestyle Berhad.
I had a lot of fun as a Marketing Executive in this company and I never once
dread going to work. Simply because of its flexible hours, flexible dressing
AND it was work and play at the same time. Unfortunately long story cut short,
company undergo retrenchment and I was one of the unlucky lots. I got hired,
confirmed and retrenched in the span of 4 months plus. Tell me if it’s not
crazy. Conclusion is, I cried a river when this happened.
And now, here I am in the
education line. Pros would be, it is near home, I start at 8.30am and I
somewhat get to leave on time at 5.30pm – 6pm (I can have my every day gym time),
I get free lunch from the culinary arts students every day. For the cons, SLCB
consists of 7 girls and 2 guys to which I am the youngest and no one is around
my age, I have to don in formal wear every day, there is no such thing as dress
down Fridays, and lastly, I have to travel ALONE to schools even in secluded
rural areas. Ie. Serdang, Batu Caves, Tanjung Sepat, Sepang, Klang etc. Second
week into this job and I am here in the office typing this away is BECAUSE –
haha the fairs hasn’t started yet and I will get busy real soon. I shall enjoy
the time I have now I guess. Also, I wish to have all the strength I can in
order to cope with this job that requires me to travel all alone and wish me luck!
Enough of my boring work
life, it boggles my mind leading me into the whole quarter life crisis thing, my personal happenings in my next upcoming post because I believe there
is more to life than just working your ass off to pay your bills.
Till then, toodles !
*flying kisses
