Leaving...

I'll be having a trip with my family plus one this week!!! Obviously I am excited. We haven't had family trip since... the golden anniv of my grandparents which was years ago.

I sure do hope that everything would be great.

Paeng... stay away!!!

Work, you can wait. I am still young, thus I should make the most out of my life and travel while I can still can.

Hopefully, when I get back nothing will surprise me like what happened last time I left.

*crosses fingers*

Adios!

Chronicles of an Emobear for October

I realized that I dwelt at my comfort zone for a lengthy time. Thus after much thought, I decided to journey life in another approach. I had to let go of something dear to me in exchange of direction and excitement or rather uncertainty. I guess it paid off.

October was an action-packed month. Various events occurred. I met knew people, strengthened bonds and said farewell to a couple. It all started with the send-off of two of my colleagues.

For my superior:
I was not really that close to her since I was only under her for about a month. In addition, I did not converse with her prior to that. If you do not mind me, I would not mind you as well. Therefore, the only occasion I think I would talk to someone is that if I need some assistance or something like that. Yeah, I am a snob. Rather… I was a snob.

During her send off, which we were forced to attend too, was when I kinda let loose. I interacted with my teammates --- gave high-fives, cheers, etc. Everyone had a blast. Thanks to the influence of training up to 10pm and a dash of alcohol for some. :)

For my fellow bootcamper:

We also had a Pre Halloween party / continuation of the send off. This time more people attended and since the theme was Halloween, most of us were in costumes. Cute! Fun!

Then there was the thing a Diamond Hotel. I did not know what to expect but I could say I had a good time… especially after the whole event when everyone started to dance. Haha. I know…such kids.

Guess October was really meant to be for Octoberfeast! Despite all the so-called stress work brings, at least I have people to make work-life --- life in general bearable.

Hah, was this the goal of 10.27?

On SAP FICO Training

I attended my last SAP FICO training. I somewhat felt glum because that meant --- goodbye free meals! We had KFC for our farewell meal and I opted for the 2 piece chicken over the Zinger --- an obvious choice for me.

On a sincere note, the 2 week course was pleasurable even if initially I had doubts if I would attend based on three points:
- there were only around 10 trainees and 8 were like big bosses
- it would eat my working hours
- I do not have a laptop which was a significant requirement

Remarkably, I actually enjoyed training not only because of the free food. It gave me a better picture of accounting for a non accountant such as myself. In addition business and functional concepts were tackled which are informative for my current module and hopefully something I can apply later on.

Good thing, it turned out that the attendees were not the same people listed. Instead of big bosses, the attendees came from ONE project. At least I was stuck with a group composed of groovy people rather than serious looking people. Promise they were a bunch of hyper people who has huge appetites. In addition, I also gained new acquaintances.

Goodbye

Goodbye B. You have been a significant part of me ever since I was a child. B, I always looked forward to our sessions. I enjoyed every momment spent with you, the good as well as the bad. Those were learning experiences for me. I would not be the person that I am right now if you were not in my life.

However I do not know what I am undergoing as of this momment and that I am willing to let go of you. Things change as well as priorities. I do not think that it is fair if I am not willing to commit myself to you like how things were before. So I guess, now is the time to say goodbye to you, B. Until we meet again.
