Working Bunny
A month! A month! It has been a month!!! I survived!!! (Well I still need to strive on though…)
What’s the hype? Technically, it is nothing, really. I have survived my official, very first job for a month now. So, since I haven’t talked much about it in the past weeks, allow me to share.
I remember the days when my sisters and I will pretend our future would be one involving us in the corporate world. I guess this has been influencing my character build up that many often see me as one who would grow up to wear a business suit to work. Well, I guess it has come to pass to a certain degree. I am now a consultant in a recruitment firm.
Technically, I am still on probation to be confirmed into the Japanese (I guess also Multi-National…) company. I work in the Japanese speaking division surrounded by many interesting characters. They are fun to be with. Apart from our duties, the conversations here are always on a merry note. Oh yes, we do snack a lot too.
I don’t think it is polite for me to disclose too much about the people who I am working with, but rest assured I am surrounded with nice people. Having them around during days when I wonder what in the world am I doing working here and now is very uplifting. There is simply so much to learn from them. (Don’t get me wrong. I know some of them maybe reading this… but they are very nice people and I am not just polishing apples.)
So, does this mean that I am moving on well? Sad to say, NO! I still miss Japan and TCU dearly. Working in a Japanese company does ease the pain a little as I am still in a Japanese environment and there are a lot of things that draws me closer to the country I love. However, it is these same things that makes me miss Japan and all who I have there tonnes. My colleagues often travel to Japan and my heart aches every time they mention something that reminds me of the good old days… I want to go home!!!
Anyways… I better stop. I should be working. It is not bad, not bad at all. There is so much to absorb over here, but I will try my best not to be too carried away by this. Hmm, funny how my dreams often do work out. I wanted to have some experience in the corporate world, and now I am doing it. So I guess I’d better make full use of my time here and thoroughly enjoy it. It won’t be long before the time comes when I have to move on to my DREAMS. Yup, that’s all for now… And for those who are reading this… back to work! (*^_^*)

Heya,
I guess the opposite can be said of us. I, still to say, miss Malaysia very much and I am constantly reminded how much I miss home.
