three months in and only now i managed to muster some juice to come and yap hahaha. Having twitter and instagram sure offloads a lot of expression outta here, but this blog has always been a dear really intend to keep it, as diary, or time capsule, until Google decided to discontinue or kill the platform like they eventually will to their aged products.
So what's up first quarter 2019?
It has been eventful,
- got into convoluted situation with one of my fairly new but very close acquaintance, my conscience was put in a tough spot. When I was at the center of it I felt so strongly and dragged myself into a mess. But now all sorted it out, we cool. I let it be because to each their own- we all living our own plotlines.
- I was seeking new job. Sent out one inquiry to a company helmed by one of Malaysia's towering corporate figure which I personally looked up to (hint: ex-ceo of AAX). Got called up to an interview. Felt the heat. We conversed about work, had further exchange through email over some time. Then syukur, I got offered the job! signed the contract! Gonna be a change of pace Lokman, from tranquil Cyberjaya to bustling KL right smack in Hartamas set to begin after my requested transition period of 2 months end.
- Aaaaand two weeks later, I turned down the offer, a U-turn; reverted the countersigned contract. Had to, due to reasons. But I'll take the experience as a gain still. I think I fared well and managed the whole situation fine, deserve a pat in the back for how I carry (sell) myself. The CEO accepted & were not too upset about it & I am not blacklisted pheww. He mentioned that "hope our path will cross in the future".
- After that I discovered an opportunity in Cyberjaya, a casual data-entry job that pays decently but the shift is nocturnal- 12am to 8am. I think I could use some excess money so I applied, got called up to the interview which is not as as easy as I expected. And I got accepted!
- So it begins. I attempted 80-hours work week as Elon Musk said is the recipe to transform the world. In my case it's my financial world i guess. 12am to 8am i'll be working at my night job, then 9.30am to 6.30am i'll be working dayjob. Both require me to just sat in front of computer, both are located in Cyberjaya- I can slot in enough sleep. I figured this would work.
- Aaaaaand after one month I resigned. It started to feel unhealthy, I struggled to find time to do things that I love, and during weekends I just want to sleep. I got so tired I microsleep whilst on the wheels and that's the wake up call. So I quit and use the month's paycheck to buy myself new iphoneX because the old ipSE's broken beyond repair. Still winning.
- I learnt more about working in a team. Always new dimensions to discover. Learnt more about my family too, about my parents and siblings. I know some might find this peculiar, but not all families are naturally tight-knit like model family and that's okay.
And i got lucky found myself a girlfriend! bye!
