I have been a good girl... hmm.. or maybe a better girl the last week lah.
I took up the detoxification plan Ivy sells via LFI. I am glad that I have lost 2.5KG in a week. Although I had also been pinching some forbidden food lah. =P
Well, a good start is a half battle won. Another week to go and I absolutely endeavor to do a better job this time! Change is good, especially when one changes in hope for a better future and a better self.
This time I am undergoing 2 changes for a better me.
The first one is the weight loss plan to a healthier and slimmer Ant. I have been going to bed before 12am and I wake up on time for work. I also slept early so that the body can recover itself better for good health. I really do feel the difference!
The second one is a career switch! I have been toying with the idea of leaving the company each time I encounter problem with that worm. But I managed to calm myself down and rebuke him with smart replies that would illustrate how high my EQ was. I go to my usual kakees to release those frustrations in me. If it wasn’t for the bunch of nice people there, I wouldn’t have survived this long in M.
One fine day, the worm acted up again. This time, I told myself I should do some justice to myself. Why should I tolerate nonsense like that? I am not even well paid to do such work in the first place! I am NOT happy! I am living in this world for myself, I want to live happily and money is one of the most significant motivator! So, at that instance, I decided to leave the company. I did a new resume and sent it to a few job posting I saw on the website just before Chinese New year.
After I returned to work on the first Work day of CNY, I was greeted warmly by all the nice colleagues. Again, I was reminded on why I didn’t leave each time I was annoyed by work matters. But this time, things were a tad different; I had already made appointments for 3 interviews. So, why not take this chance to see what the market is like! I am curious how much people will pay me for the current set of skill and experience I have.
Within 24hours after my interview with the second company I went, I received an offer. This is a company that specializes in Tax planning and Trust. My mentor will be a lady who is an experienced and a qualified Corporate Secretary. WOW! This is relevant to what I am studying lei~ Gonna be paid a tad more to earn a new set of valuable experience, I will also be more exposed to a different industry and people. WHY NOT? Without much consideration, I took up the offer. I have also tendered my resignation to my 2 bosses whom I respected a lot. They were shocked at my decision initially but later on understood my main reason for leaving; career advancement.
I will definitely be sad to leave my beloved 5566 and MOC cliques in M. But I learned that when the time comes, whatever plan made earlier has to make way for the god’s spontaneous blessing.
You know something…
Everything happens for a reason. Remember how things always work out in the end?
Most of the time, those occurrence taught me lessons that will make a better me. ;)
Thanks to the worm, I have now learned to manage my emotions better and without him, I wouldn’t have found the courage to leave my comfort zone. I now look forward to a new chapter in my life… while serving a one month notice to the company…. xD
