Job hunting again!

Actually it's very sad to be looking out for another job. But after such a long time... well, not that it is very long, only 1yr and 2 months.. But after going through the performance review with the supervisor of my department (whom I have never deemed as some one worthy of the position) and spending some time thinking through, I know that I have to put my thoughts into actions already. There is no more need to wait and see and anticipate the outcome of the alignment.

Afterall, it is a great company in view of its structure, culture, vision. BUT, it is managed by people. With people, it can get personal and objectives may not remain while visions are blurred...

I really learned alot on how organization works and am very very glad to know that the founders/leaders of this organization were great people who were once alive, and have headed this company through the numerous years that it's been around. It's a pity that this office is not headed like how it was by them. I am inspired by their management philosophies. I am sure and confident that whatever that I have read up about them and their philosophies will follow me through my life.

I believe in learning from others, be it their mistakes, or their experience, because you, as an individual can only make that limited number of mistakes and experience that amount of life. But when you gather information shared by others, especially those pioneers and great persons out there, you are actually ridding on an express train.

Experience is extremely valuable. The older the wiser. We ought to learn whatever we can. But not to underestimate the things which you can also learn from the young and innocent. Sometimes, as we grow up, we may forget certain values and lessons in life, but the young ones who are just stepping out into the world are experiencing the time of their life. From them, you get to look back in time, and remember who you were in the past...

More than 6 months after the last post....

It's 2007, and right before this year started, another sprain on the lower back... same place too! But this time round I went to see a chinese 'Tui Na' and found that it all started with a fell on the bottom in early Nov06. Thinking back... all through my life I had several falls, and should not be surprised about a fall leading to any complications. BUT! I am surprised that a fall on the bottom can lead to a sprain in the back which was much worse than the one which I had earlier in 2006. Walking, sleeping and moving my arms were a torture! Performing daily routine such as brushing my teeth and washing my face can cause tears to roll down my cheeks...

 Anyway, it's over. Have slowly recovered. But it still felt weird at times. A lesson well learned. A realisation that hit me right in the face, HEALTH >> lose it and you will never get it back as you age...

Moving on, I shall see to it that this blog is posted now and then. Minimum once a month. Hahaa... Pathetic as it seems, but if I can make it to once a month, I think its already an improvement. The fact is, with all the work in the day from Mondays to Fridays, its hard not to get a phobia of using the PC. I realised that ever since I started working at the end of 2003, I refrained from using the PC and spent more time slacking or watching TV. Nowadays, my TV is also accumulating dust....

Well, there's always the First Step. So this is it! My January Post for 2007.

Till then...
