Long absence.... MIA and now back!
It's been a really long time since I last posted. Much things have been happening again. Moved on to another stage in life and started working full-time in a company to learn about running a business. Oh yes, my company's located in Great World City, pretty near to Orchard. It's really convenient for me to pop over to major bookstores like Borders, Kinokuniya and Times (at Plaza Singapura) with a direct bus.
Of course the boss won't just happily and gladly let me take high positions and giving instructions to staff. At my current experience and skills level, I'm starting at the bottom and back to basics. YES, all that quotes and advises from old kungfu masters and Yoda from Star Wars on "Back to basics, basics & more basics then mastering them over the years before advancing" ARE THE REAL STUFF! NO KIDDING HERE!
I'm real glad and lucky that the boss is a real nice guy and is willing to mentor me. What's more, he's willing to be flexible with the staff's working hours and letting him know when I need time off to relax or to balance work-life issues.
At this current stage, the company is undergoing transition. Lots of movement and changes are under way, so I've to work longer hours and cover some duties. There's also changes of staff during these 2 months (you know the job market now, people come & go....). Hope this stage will pass fairly soon with more staff (long-term stay I hope) coming on board and get the business on track. It's a real challenge and a superb learning opportunity to go through this stage with the company. It's been going for 2 months now.... and I believe it'll get better for the next 1 year and looking forward to see the fruits by end of next year.
As for my own time for relaxation, it's alternate Saturdays and Sundays with my current schedule. Guess I'll be chilling at cafes and hanging out at major bookstores to get my fill of people-watching and filling my neurons with new knowledge.
See you guys around soon!
