In two weeks time, I'm officially a confirmed staff. No longer under probation. It was a fun learning curve for the past two months. I was so lucky to work with an awesome senior and awesome team mates who took care of me no matter how badly I performed, taught me every single thing from scratch and taught me in a way that I will not face any problem in any engagement I was assigned to. In other words, they want me to be perfect and at the same time, facing no stress.

People said that our first job is the most important because it gives an impression on whether we are in the right path or the wrong one. And the one that influenced us are those people whom we worked with. If they are optimistic, you will enjoy working but if they are pessimistic, you will have a very hard time.

I, once, faced a dilemma, whether to follow my senior or request for a change in the industry I wanted to audit. In the end, I chose to follow my senior and I did not regret at all. I am not ready to let go of my senior who taught me from day one. How can I abandon him after all the hard work he put on me? They are the one who made me love my job. They are the one who made me realised that work can be fun. They are the one whom I can act childish with. They are the one whom I willingly showed the happy side of me and made our work surrounding more lively. (that's what they said about me. haha. not self praise) 

There was once where we were in the office and other colleagues asked why are we so happy and having so much fun. And we replied them, 'We are always this happy and crazy.' Deep down in my heart, I was so grateful to be part of them and thanks to them, I seldom complain about my work.

This is for you guys and I will not let all of you down. Let's be more crazy in the coming peak. *My signature yawn face*     

If the Mayans were right, we have exactly 71 days left. 

You will never know what will happen tomorrow and you will never know what will happen in the next 2 hours. It's the same as people. You will never know what they think about you. There were nice to you today and they will stab you the next day. It's hard to predict what will happen in the future.

I finally experience the real working life with all the complaints, back stabbing, hatred, worries, stress, anger, etc. It's not something I'm proud of but it's something that I need to prepare myself for the worse. Work is definitely more challenging than studies or exams because you are dealing with people from all walks of life. They have different personalities and all you can do is try to find a way to fit with them instead of running away. What I mean here is that do not try to be the one they want you to be but try to convince them and make them accept who you really are. That's the real challenge.
 

It might be the last 71 days of work. Who knows? Just enjoy as much as you can.

Welcome to the working world! Welcome to the hectic lifestyle!

And yes, I just started working last week. Everything went smoothly for now. Learnt new things, met new people, experienced the new working environment both in the office and client's place, juggled with the work life balance, got a new roommate and house mate, spent less time social networking, and lost track with the world especially my favourite entertainment news.

It was quite hectic for the first week because I'm still trying to adapt to the new environment. Everything seems so new to me and it'll be hard for the next few weeks. But hey, if you want success, you have to challenge yourself to every single thing no matter how tough it is. So, all the best to myself and be prepared to face the tough and bumpy road ahead.

Success is the ability to go from failure to failure without losing your enthusiasm.

First day of work is always the most exciting and relaxing but to me, it's the opposite. There's no excitement at all and it was really tiring at the end of the day. Worked non-stop and I almost dozed off when the work got bored and when my energy bar turned red. 

Working with all the aunties and uncles is torturing and demotivating because you will find yourself focusing on the work instead of socializing with them. But their sense of humour kept me awake all the time. The best part is that even when they kept complaining that there's a lot of work to do and the deadline is approaching, they came to work late and left when it's time. They even told me to go home when it's time although my work is not done yet. 

Learned a lot of things on the first day and hopefully, they'll teach me more on day two. Wish me luck. =D
