A Social Experiment

Ola,

Hi there! Good day to you!! I'm Thoyol, a sworn non returning bad writer whom making a comeback due to boring, no channel to vent out anger, sharpening my writing skills, just a reason to fill in my midnite oil burning session and etc. Still don't know me? Heh, tak rugi pun.

Sigh..

How you doing? Sihat?

My status? Still single and available. Waiting for my TWOz (The Witch of OZ, for those who didn't know) to return from her Aussie-land. Yup, we are still together for a total of 1 year and 3 months. A true long distance relationship fueled by WhatsApp, Viber, call, SMS and Skype sessions. Digi Unlimited Internet Plan is a true blessing in long distance relationship.

Is it tough? Fuck yeah!! The toughest relationship experience so far. I keep resisting myself from flying off to Aussie on monthly basis. Kept reminding myself that I should rationalize my spending and being so distant is only adding some flavour in the relationship. Kept justifying to myself that the trip there is an unneeded thingy. I got to be bold and strong. Sigh..

Work? I'm still in recruitment line. Still love what I'm doing for the past 5 years. Being able to be an advisor to the management, a negotiator for the candidates, the helper for jobseeker, the ill-bringer to those who are unsuccessful, the evaluator for those who applying and the manager in managing expectation. I loved and still love the variety of challenges faced while dealing with people. People is the biggest headache in any organization and currently I'm the frontliner in managing with people. The routine is tedious, the process is similar everywhere but the challenge is varying everyday. What else can you ask for a work other than a non stagnant role? I'm doing a different same thing everyday. Nice eh?

So far I managed to stay with this company for 1 year and 4 months. Still enjoying the challenges, the environment, still learning the tricks and trades here and there, still absorbing as much as I can. I still see myself being around for another 2 years. So many things to be done and I'm proud with my achievement so far in this company. Once there is nothing left, I will move on to something new. Being assigned back to a supervisory role is a good thing but it also making me a bit uncomfortable. I no longer evaluated as a solo performer but my team's performance will reflect on my performance. Plus, I don't think that I am a good manager. Too many time I heard people said that I'm too nice with people. Sigh..

Quote of the day : A good manager able to supervise his team and create a harmony working environment while a top performing manager able to achieve the team mission and objective regardless of his team's condition.

Do I willing to go down that path? Sigh again..

There you have it.

A portion of my update so far. Furthermore no holiday trip for the past 8 months making me a grumpy person. Being in 29 years old, when most of your friends are married does limit your activities and choice for holiday.

I should hang out at any universities lounge area from now on. Need to blend in with the younger people while influencing them to utilize their PTPTN money for a holiday with me. Heh..

Till then..

Cao..
