It’s official.

 

This was written weeks ago but I reckon this is the only right time of posting it out.

 

At a certain point in your life, you’re sure to come across times where you’ll take some time off and look how far have you succeeded in the path you’d chosen. Frustration kicks in when the chances of you climbing up the golden ladder, achieving a certain figure are narrower than what you have thought initially. In the previous post, I did mention an attractive offer which I recently secured. So since I’ve very much made the decision, I guess I can yak this out a lil.

 

To start with,

If it wasn’t for Gawie’s email, I might be clueless about it. Love you lots.
If it wasn’t for some angelic people’s advice, I wouldn’t have gone for it.
(well, I would anyway)

 

So yea. I went and after a series of successful interviews, I finally got an offer in one of the *largest motor corp*, a place I’ve been longing to work in. Being a car person who holds a degree in automotive, such offer is extremely hard to resist.

 

Words couldn’t describe how delightful I was when I received the call telling me the news. To be honest, I was a tad close to breaking my nerve, days before the call. I was in one of my crabby moods every day, pondering 101 things about the future. When there’s something you wanted that much and you’re *this* close to it, there’s no way of not getting worked up about it.


Lets forward to where we are now. I didn’t really get the advertised position but I did get the position I applied some weeks ago. It’s another reason to be excited.

 

“We’re offering you the post of *New M0del Exec*”
”What’s that?” *hearts pumping*

“You’ll be put in charge of all of *our* new *upcoming models*”
”What? OMG……..”


Yes Baby!

 

I know. It’s super mega awesome. Then again, in this political world, I won’t deny that any vision, once having been given birth, would suffer as the result of inclement conditions of time. It’s weird, you see. If it was a year ago, I’d go all crazy, nodding yes without thinking the full sequence of it. Time passes, extrapolated personal philosophies and wider vision lead you to believe things thoroughly and not just its surface as it’s scary to sink all of your precious times into the wrong ocean.

 

Questions kept circling my head, filling with heavy emotions for the past couple of weeks.


Will I be earning more than my peers in 5 years time?
Will I be earning enough to purchase a house of my own in 3 years time?
Can I really establish myself in this field?

Am I making the right decision, leaving the technical field to a whole different environment?

 

Lots of scary thoughts went through my head and gave me shudders. I know I can only depend on myself especially financial wise. It’s hard. With this I only believe in money.

Money equals to power.

As a result of such, I’m constantly pushing myself to be able to provide more so things would at least be back to normal and knowing there’s a limit to it, I’d blame myself.

 

Lets not make a shush out of this.

 

P.s - If u are interested to know, msg me and I'll reply cos at the mean time, I don't feel like writing down the specified name. Internet is scary at times.

 

I know this is some sort of a present from someone whom I’ve been missing. The letter  is dated 27th June. Love you, pa.
