Yesterday is History
Its been some time since I last blogged. Have been really tied up with work and life out of work... I've learnt alot, feels like I'm put on years of age even though its just 3+ months of worklife. Everyday is a lesson to me, absorbing as much as possible, trying to get the hang of it as fast as possible and lucky enough I've got a good mentor now.
We were thinking about this. How come for some people, they can be a banker at their 20s, driving a porsche, achieving so much at such young age? From my understanding, I realised that a Good degree won't be able to take you this far. With a humble background, even you're top student from local U, I doubt you'll be given a chance like this. Unless you're Harvard's/Yale top graduates, this might give you higher chance, but still on what basis will those big foreign banks be looking at to grant a fresh grad a banker job?
My Ans is: Family influence. Chances don't come just like this. Degree is just a piece of paper, it puts you in the interviewee list but doesn't guarantee you a seat in that company, don't even dream about that hotseat when most jobseekers out there are Degree holders and some even had a few years of experience.
Don't even think that you're a Degree holder, you should be earning whatever amount you think is appropriate, as meanwhile companies out there are really cutting down their expenses and headcounts and here you're, greenhorn looking at what $3-4k? They might as well not retrench their experienced staff, at least they can save their saliva... Well, if you're doing a commission-based job, if you've that glib tongue its possible to achieve that thick pay cheque.
We just have to be realistic in life, being naive will only put you in this kind of situation, one day you'll feel like you've been slapped on the face, so hard you'll probably wake up from 10 years of sweetdreams...
Seems like I've realised alot just over this few weeks... Moving on...........
2 weeks ago, I had my worst week in my entire life. Really... Worst than breakups I feel. Every single day at work I'm hurt and arrowed by people whom I have to try to help. My heart almost died... Was so depressed I felt like just stopping myself from going to work, I just feel like giving up for a while...
They revived me over that weekend.
Now full of drive and motivated :)
I remembered that Sun, I went over to Bf's in the afternoon, thinking that he'll be cooking Seafood Aglio. However, bf being a pig just woke up and was eating his brunch. So sadly I was grumbling, "I thought you said you're cooking, I was looking forward to it." Then I was like, forget it and I sanked into the sofa while my eyes stick to the tv.
After his brunch, he quietly go into the kitchen, pull out those prawns, clams, mussels, linguine and started whipping up my favourite. So happy I'm, Glutton, I know. But its really delicious, the best so far... Hope he can cook more often. Hehe...
He volunteered to take over the wheels, so all I did was relax in the car, while we went to so many places.
Island creamery, one of them.....
How can I not feel happy?Heavenly :)
More to come, hope its soon!
i'm at the end of the rainbow
