light me up

the adjustment

yes this is an update of my life.

well, August seemed to have just started.. or so i thought. now, into the second half of the month, i wonder when will i have more time than whatever i have now. yeah maybe still in the midst of adjusting to the life of a working adult. some days i feel like i have no energy. other days, not much time. previously, i noted struggling with things happening around me all at one time. well, i am glad the dark phase is over and i am slowly regaining my pace. taking one step at a time. glad to have great people around me as well.

work has been alright so far.. learning a lot, working around great colleagues, decent welfare. workload.. well.. hmm still manageable i would say. no free lunches in the world. i still have friends looking for jobs or some even unsure what to look out for or where to try for. glad i figure those during my days of FYP or even before my final year. different people will definitely have different needs and wants.. that i understand. however, one thing i don't quite understand is the fickle mindedness. if you are one of them, well stop it.. touch your heart to find that one true answer. that answer might not stay for a life but you need it to stay for quite awhile.. the sooner then better. get on with it.

if you ask me, definitely i want many things out of a job.. decent pay, work-life balance, healthy environment, chance to learn, space to progress and many more. nonetheless, it is rare to have them all in one. my current position offers more than what i expected.. that is why i am happy here. however, rewind 4 months ago.. if you were to ask me what were the key considerations.. i would tell you, personally at this age i value more on chance to learn, space to progress, and work-life balance. where is pay? well, honestly back then i knew the healthcare/biostatistics sector isn't known to be one of the better paying places for a statistics graduate to go.. so basing on the rough gross median of $3300, i told myself that if the place seemed decent i would probably let go a little in terms of pay.. hence, not in my top three.

well, hope that helps. figure what you really want to do now, basing on what you really value i guess. until next time then, cheers.

new new divide

all falls down

picking myself up

yes this is an update of life.

well yes i am back for now. as you know, i needed to be away to settle a lot of things that have been happening in my life. to be honest, not all of them are really under control or solved yet. nonetheless, i figured that i could use some of my evening time these few days to be back here. take mind off things and to relax.

there is so much thinking going on in the past couple of weeks. so much uncertainty. so much distractions. so much annoyance. nonetheless, i am thankful for how things are slowly progressing. i am picking myself up again as i go. cannot stay down for too long anyway. life still goes on not matter what and i have to try to use every single day wisely. some disappointments are not worth harping over for too long i guess.

with that said, not saying things happening that are weighing me down a little are caused by external factors. there are things of my own doing as well. with all mixed together you get one messed up lifestyle and a joyride through emotional rollercoaster. don't worry, i am fine.. just picking myself up again.. slowly but surely. until next time then, cheers.
