Hey there.
Here's a quick update of my life. it's been almost 2 months since iv finished my studies at MMU. Yeah I had finally graduated! Officially a proud Mechanical engineer. It feels like just yesterday I was still blindly following the path iv chosen: going for classes, complaining the lack of friends and how I sat solo in most classes, studying for exams, desperately doing my fyp which hardware turned out not working etc. Never a thought in mind that I am inching closer to the day I achieve my dreams - to become a Mechanical Engineer.
I used think engineer is a sacred job and engineers will have this professional aura around them. And I used to wonder how it's like when I become an engineer, how I need to hold huge responsibility on my shoulder cuz if the building I build collapsed, I could jeopardise human lives!
Now that iv became a Mechanical engineer, and you ask me how I feel bout it, my answer will be "meh." haha. Nothing sacred, not gonna participate in massive projects like I always watch on National Geographic. Building the next iconic skyscraper or huge underground tunnel like the Smart Tunnel of Malaysia. None! I'm just the old me, with an extra certificate on my hand. Well of course, I can always join the work force and do my best excel in it, so that I can eventually realise my final dream, which is to involve in massive projects that could benefit mankind.
So, after two months of dark, agonizing days of job hunting, God has finally shed some light on my path! It was a Tuesday evening when I went to my Gmail just to deposit another resume to apply a job which is recommended by my sis through fb msg. I have habit of checking my mails every morning, but won't bother it for the rest of the day. Then there it was, the news that iv been praying for for the past few nights. It came earlier that I had expected. "Congratulations, you have succeeded in the interview and we are offering you..." My heart raced when I clicked open the mail and quickly summoned my sister to share the joy. She was even more excited than me! When our eyes descends yo the figure beside the word basic allowance, our eyes widen with disbelieve. Holy crap, it's much more than what iv expected! Then our cheers were so loud that mom had to ask what's wrong from her tuition area. My parents are equally joyous to the news, mainly because their daughter will not work at Singapore anymore.
Well I love Singapore. The quality of living there is obviously higher than in Malaysia. One of the very obvious thing is you can see youngsters jogging alone around the parks and roads even if the sky is turning dark. In Malaysia, you can't see any people walking alone in deserted streets as the security here is not good. If you're alone walking and got lost, it's best not to wander around on your own. Stay at a safe place and call someone to fetch you would be great. But in Singapore, fret not. You can walk around til you find a bus station or mrt station (easily) and get to your place. Secondly, the food in sg is cheaper than Malaysia, and the wages are almost the same! That's why most Malaysians prefer to go there work. And I'm speaking for a jobless graduate.
But oh well, I am really lucky to get into such a reputable company as Cameron, and I won't give anything else in exchange with the opportunity. Hope everything will be fine for the first day of my work! May the next chapter of my life unfolds.
