Crossroads


Confused, I am. Am I confident enough to face this challenge in life, which if I fail, would cause an impact my life? As much as I want to go for it for the sake of my career and finances, I won’t deny I am afraid to be tied down to the long bond. It’s no different from being imprisonment for 10 years.

It’s so hard for me to adapt to my personal life right now when it’s just an hour plus drive away I cannot imagine how it would be if it became 6 hours apart.

I remember telling my friends not to put personal life into consideration when it concerns their career and future because there’s no guarantee things will work out fine. But now? I feel like a hypocrite.

I’m actually hoping to get another job offer, which is still pending. Just went for an interview some time last week. I think my chances are pretty low, considering the fact that I’m bonded. But to think that they were still willing to give me a chance to tryout means something, no? Sometimes it’s good to be over-optimistic =P

I’m supposed to decide by today. HOW?!


Secure the PET job, forget about the other more interesting job offer and be tied down for the rest of my life. I mean 10 years.

Reject the PET job, patiently wait for the other more interesting job offer and take the risk of not getting it.


It’s been 23 going 24 years and I’m still as indecisive as ever. Well, at least I decided where to go for lunch today it caught my colleagues by surprise =P

Aiyo.... dun think too much la. sometimes we cannot plan everything in life. just choose the road that u feel strongly on right now and never look back because there is no right or wrong decision. isn't it wonderful that we can finally make our own decision? do whatever we wanna do? be whoever we wanna be? just take away other people's expectation on u and simply ask yourself; what do u want? ok, enuf with the crap. good nite.

Not bad bonded down by Petronas. Good job (or should i say good pay) , less work.

At least now, you can find somewhere close to your hometown but yet still get a decent salary.

And, you can always do some side business that you like since the job should be very free.

Going into the professional world, does NOT mean you need to climb the social ladder to get tons of money. Being a employee all the time (without any investment, etc or side biz) is hard to become very rich.
