Quiting a job for more than 15 years

Today I learnt that 2 my ex-colleauges are quiting their job of 12 years and 15 years respectively. It is a difficult decision for them. I think if I am in their shoe, I will also feel the same. When I was younger, I tell my self to work hard to save lots of money and will do what I can to achieve that. My mom and dad are always a non-believer of job hoping. There were in teaching profession for more than 30 years. My sister in Miri also is holding to her current for donkey years even though it didn't give her a good pay.

I quit my first company after 7 years !! At that time I didn't feel as emotional as this friend of mine. I just want to leave that damn place after seeing things that is happening there. Most of my friends of same batch had already long left and I felt that I should hv nothing to hold me back. So I took the plunge also.

In current company, i have worked for 3 full years and now I am thinking of quiting too !! :P After all this year, I am really not very happy with my life and would like to try some thing else... I am still wondering where and what I should do.... I hope God will show me the way...

Standard Chartered KL Marathon 2010

Yah, I think I should write about it. This is another personal achievement in my life - running a marathon. During April 2010, my colleague, Ms Samathan Lee, who had taken part in last year Marathon, invitde me to join her in the run. At that time, I was busy preparing demo for our bread and butter customer and feeling preasure and down and despressed with my work life, I thought, why not ? That is something different than mountain climbing. That's how I asked her to sign me up immediately. From then, there is no turning back. I had always thought of running the Penang Bridge marathon since I started working in Penang soon after graduating from USM and until now I haven't fullfilled the dream yet. Also, I thought I will be star in the atheletic field during school day if not for my parent who is very academic oriented. From then, my mind is focusing on this marathon. I started practicing after work with Ms Lee and others at KLCC park every other day if possible. I run for 2 rounds as a start and then increased to 3 rounds in June 2010. When the time almost near the actual running day, I tried running Sg Long big round which is 6.3 KM which took me 1 hour time, training 45 minutes for 2 of the weekend.

And I make it. My gun time is 1:34 and my net time is 1:28:18 !!! Bravo... and I am still thrilled with my achievement. hahahaha LOL.... LOL....

Although I feel body ache and leg pain now (it is recovering) I think it worth it !! And luckily my 'sister' came a few day before the run... hahaha.

Telephone appointment with my dear

Yesterday I joined Dylan's school field trip to Domino Pizza Taman Connaught, TUDM gallery and Vitagen factory. We paid RM 130 for the trip. It was a good experience for me to Y
Then it happened again every time I did this go-together thing with Dylan. He refused to go to nanny place the next day when the school was off for the day. I had to tell white lies just to get him agreed to go to nanny place. ie, office had police that will detain any children in sight, that I worked in other office already, that I will bring him to library after I worked, and finally he agreed on calling him before he sleep in the afternoon. So I set a reminder in my handphone to call him by 12:45 pm. I was in a meeting and I sneak out finally at 1:18 pm to give him a call. Nanny said he was sleeping already. I asked her to wake him up. If not, he will blame me later for not keeping promise. When he finally woke up and called mummy, my tear starts rolling down... asking him if he sleep already, if he had his lunch, and that I will bring him to library this evening when I get back. At the end, he was just nodding his head at the other side of the line. After that, I said bye-bye and asked him to sleep some more. Oh... how my heart is aching... I quickly go to toilet to clear my tears before continuing the QA meeting... I LOVE U DYLAN !!
