WORK

I was told by one of my friend currently working in Singapore, she said "Now i realised money is very hard to earn?" How much do you agree with such statement?

No matter what you are working as (it could be from a cashier to Accountants, from junior executive to managerial level), life can never be an easy way out. There is always people to give u pressure and stress. There will be always a responsibility that you are holding which builds up the emotional stress. Either you cope with it, accept the fact that you will have to do it. Or choose other alternative. When choices is not an option, such person could end up in a hospital. i have the tendency towards this way.



Speaking about hospital, lets have a summarize of what i have to face for the past week.

I am glad that i have an opportunity to explore the local hospital and have a look at the operation routine of each and every department. Also, meeting up with Doctors and Professors is also part of my job. With this, it could be very traumatizing when it comes to visiting places like ICU. Gosh, people running away from X-ray machine and looking at the patients lying on the bed is just so Sickening. What do i have to complain about? There is nothing i could do about it! Yet to mention that being an alien to the hospital, the only way to be familiarize is to walk around and explore. BUT unfortunately, day 1 and day 2 consecutively, i came across this place call Bilik Mayat. Mortuary. Holy FUK! I personally have very bad experience with this kind of place.Green Colour have soothing effect for your eyes. Trees. Not Ghost of Course!

After confronting the manager and explain what i have been facing lately. Two questions comes to my mind; Should i continue with what i am doing right now? or Should i proceed with Studies in different field of interest? (at the end will be back to Job hunting again! Is the time and money investment a good step to take?

A call from the big boss save the world and answer my doubt and queries. The conversation over the phones sounds like this:

R: Hi, how are you?
Me: OH Fine. Its great :S

R: I am sure you have heard of me~ Yeah i have heard about you as well. How should i address you? Mr Lim?
Me: Yeah just call me Lim. or Mr.Lim. (Cuz xinwen is not glamour enough! and i still insist of NOT having a english name; there is no other name for me besides Lim Xin Wen Ok)

R: Alright Lim, I hope you feel comfortable with the places where you are right now. Dont need to feel overwhelmed over some issue. Just do readings for ur basic understanding of the product that we have.
Me: Okay

R: Dont have to worry about the offer letter as i will pass it to you when i come over next week. Or when you come over to Singapore next week.
Me: Alright.

R: Yea its just a normal offer letter. ( There is still alot of issue which is not clear about the terms and condition! i was told that a trip to singapore involve Bonds! WTF. I assume she is nice enough to discuss over matters in the Letter of Offer when I found any contradiction )

Again, I was told that *ass*u*me* means *Made an ass out of you and me*

Me: Ok, its alright.
R: I'll be arranging transport and accomodation for the upcoming Regional training that will be conducted here in Singapore. You will be staying with another colleague in Riverview Hotel. Meals will be provided and paid by us. During the lunch time, I'll bring you around to see where our machine was placed and how it goes about.
(i remember each and every words she told me)

Me: That will be great and i will be looking forward to meet up with you. Thanks alot.

(My dad once told me there is nothing free in this world)

R: Alright see you.
Me: Bye.

I feel relieved, at least someone understand my condition and situation.
At one point of time i was asked to meet up with Doctors explaining about journal and observed how to promote the test. The next moment, i was asked to read materials in the office. Thats it. How amazing :D


This is just the begining!!

Honestly speaking, i do not like the idea of biotechnology at all. Yet, why do i work in pathlogy lab and all job search focus much on the area of sciences and healthcare. First of all, Why THE HELL ON EARTH i choose to STUDY BIOTECHNOLOGY? This is a question whereby, myself wont be able to answer.

3 options available
1) Further till master to become Lecturer
2) get higher qualification to do research ( Knowing that i am not the Top List Student - This task seems to be almost impossible to achieve )
3) Work as a Sales Representative, Product Specialist, Laboratory. There is no good and bad in all this job scope because in the end you will still earn big money. Just the determination and the performance. Knowing that One question that i am concern is I dont like any of these. I dont like the things i am doing. I dont enjoy what i am doing right now. I can't find passion from the job. Then i must well go Die.

This is the reason i opt for an alternative choosing another pathway and thought of risking another 4 years doing something else. In reality, this does not happen. So need not discuss further.
