Coffee Club

Finished work of the day. I meet Peishi for a coffee and chat. We both bought the same heels from Charles & Keith follow by a visit to Kinokuniya. Intended to get a book to keep myself occupied however there was no interested choice.

After that we went to our usual coffee hangout 24hr Coffee Club @ somerset. A cup of Ice Mocha lasted our chat for one hour. We chatted a lot of things. From love life to career to colleague.

Career is my ultimate focus currently. From the day i start work, i strike to climb up one step by one step. Setting my aim one step @ a time is the procedure of my career life. Eventually i managed to achieve 2 aim this year. Promotion followed by my expected salary.

Getting to this aim, how hard i had worked and the time i had put into it is visible to people close to me. Working for almost more than 12 hours a day for more than 2 years, even meeting up with my friends is difficult. Thanks friends for being understanding. Whenever gathering, i was the problem one as i was always occupied by work and forever unable to confirm the appointment. I could only confirm the gathering at the very last minutes. Upon reaching my aim, i started to slack. Maybe it was tiredness that make me realise that i should not only focus on work but bring more life to myself.

Since i had reach this 2 aim, i started planning for another which was a higher pay. However i also hope to be able to go into the line i am interested in.

From the start, i intended to go into hotel industry as a Guest Relation Officer however i never did. Eventually i entered Banking industry. Being in bank industry, i would wish to enter investment sector to learn more new things. From now on i would seek for either my higher pay expectation or investment sector job.

We chatted about the things that happened around our working environment currently. Office politics is one of the reason that give me the urge to change job. However having a good boss is difficult. I believe i won't be able to find a boss as good as current one. Daniel is the one that taught me a lot of things and he is the one that had given me the chance at the start. However as time pass, colleague around me change one by one. My closest colleague Charmayne & Maureen left. Surrounding around me now is colleague that belong to different world as me.

Colleagues normally would go out for a chilli and fun after a tired working day however there is nothing of this happening around me. My working environment is work and only work. Beside that there is nothing else. Boring...

Competitive working environment. Everyone strike to climb up.

Will i be able to achieve my new aim soon?

May God Bless me with happiness and a better tomorrow.
