So I’m back at a familiar place, one that has tons of memories that i left behind…not just memories made there but also all the significant ones that happened outside the walls of the white and blue building. The all so familiar pond i cross over to get to my office everyday, the staircase, the cubical I once occupied, the familiar people I know that have never failed to bring on the sense of warmth on me and most of all the yellow light secret corner. This time I met quite a number of people that I never really got acquainted to the last time I was there, who remembered me and even one who thought i never left. But…is it all the same as before?

2009

Well, not exactly. Most of all it’s because some of my friends ain’t there anymore, ‘Disneyland’ has gotten a minor makeover and the fab is much more in order in terms of 5S. Coincidentally I’m also using the pedestal and car sticker of my former colleagues. Work wise it’s getting a bit more serious that what i encountered before, no more extreme slacking around and sitting in the office surfing the net for the whole afternoon. Anyway, I’m glad I retained quite a lot of the things that I’ve learned the last time around, that I have a kick-ass boss and for having the rest of my colleagues I know that are still there.

It’s still too early to tell how crazy work will get, good or bad I’m still determined and looking forward to what is ahead. Bottom line is that, I’m satisfied with where i am with my work now. Of course we can always complain about work, about the pay but we often overlook the good and what we have currently. Everyone wants a higher pay but how much is enough? We often feel that we’ll be satisfied with ‘this amount’ of salary but when we’ve reached that point, dissatisfaction can still surely take over if we don’t learn to appreciate the basics or what we had in the first place.

Also at the same time I’m gonna have to channel every possible extra juice that i have left to finishing my studies. Thankful for my latest results as it was a better than i had expected so now I’m on my final year, my final stretch to crossing the finishing line and i do hope i make it!

…where was i? I cant remember the last time i wrote about the happenings in my life. I guess my life was so dead that i didnt have any to write…sad rite?

Im glad that my first semester is over. All those nightmares about not being able to pass because of very bad time management from me and the lecturer also, can finally go to rest. But not for long, because i’ve just started my second semester last weekend…and this semester onwards, i have to WORK.

Another two subjects this semester – Econ and Marketing. Both of them really interesting giving that the lecturers are quite experienced in their own field. Never failing to give suitable examples to help us understand. It’s always interesting to learn something totally new as i come from a very different background from what im studying now. Knowing how crude oil prices can never show their true value because they get manipulated too much by big companies, government and OPEC, knowing how a simple concept of demand and supply can not only affect pricing and quantities but so many other things including national security. Of course there are a lot of ceteris paribus assumptions. Anyway, in marketing, we were told that customers are not always right and the trick is that we just need to make them feel right. -.- Shucks! all these while my feelings have been cheated by the sellers la! *&$@$%()!$%
