mindcandy pennies from the overgenerous lunatic

Allright still

And as for the last post, i guess it is because i am making major changes to my mind at the moment, changing the way i look at things and learning new ways to process information around me so that it becomes a lot more efficient and to the results that others are expecting on me. It's like venturing to unfamiliar territory but it is all good, at least from how i see it as.

So I guess i had a bout of paranoia, which is actually nothing more than a job offer from an ex colleague friend of mine who is currently working in a multinational company. She told me to apply at her company as she knew that i wanted something more than just my current work.

her: eh join my company la, its a huge MNC you know. who knows if you could meet ur next gf there?
me: hmmm
her: just join la! challenge urself!
me: its an employee get employee scheme isnt it?
her:........well i do get paid la

and after some searching, i found out that it is indeed a huge MNC who is hiring consultants in any field at all en masse. i thought i'd give it a go. So i sent my resume over that friend and sadly she says she only plans to send my resume over after CNY. Apparently, the company expects their company to work very, very hard, as evident by my friend's neverending work schedule as well as reports from people who have worked in there before. since i discovered that i like to talk and present things now, this should be headed in the correct direction and who knows its a place where i would want to build my career up with? I'd say i'm giving it a go.

In other news, i met another colleague who actually turns out to be a cell group leader in his church. and his last day was today. we had a good chat over lunch the other day and i do find him quite an interesting character. If he was not resigning i'd be lunching with him everyday (currently lunching with a guy who also helps out with his church ministry, they have more insightful things to say rather than the usual boring banter of a) made up world news and speculations or b) nerdy stuff or c) things that i have no idea of) and it's a very interesting learning experience to learn about another person's dedication into spirituality that seem to enhance and enrich my own experiences and perhaps help me to improve myself further. It's sort of an express way to learn from others.

After all, 2009 has been a good year to me but perhaps i need to take things a little further and kick it up a few notches with the job thingy and also to restructure my personal life. It's gotten quite happening but over the year i have also learnt that colleagues =/= friends. Colleagues are just colleagues and if 1-2 crossover to be personal friends, great! whoo hoo! but else, keep a distance and personal life out of the office. I'm not deleting all my colleagues, but if i ever join the new company, i will wipe off my FB and start anew as i have added too many random and strange people as well as too many colleagues. no doubt after my resignation they should have contact with me through my MSN and gtalk, but i can just delete anyone who dosent wanna talk to me and it allows me to keep things simple that way.

now that i have restructured my life, the blogposts should come trickling back, perhaps 1-2 posts every few weeks. Because i do have more stories to come.
