Today marks 2 months and 10 days since I have left my previous employment. Early this month, I have officially signed a new employment offer with a GLC and I'm due to begin a new chapter of working life in August 2010. As such, it simply means that my career break will total up to about 3 and half months long by the time I begin my new job.
Well, there are many thoughts about leaving a job without securing a job in hand. Some of them admire the guts I have to do that, some think I'm loaded since I'm not worried about my daily expenses (but hey! I did all my savings in my last 4.5 yrs for today!) and some think that I'm stupid because that may affect significantly on my new employment if I dont have an answer when the interviewer ask me: WHY YOU LEAVE YOUR JOB WITHOUT GETTING A NEW JOB? Honestly, I have never failed to get this question in my few interviews I have attended, and I can tell you, I had an answer that could really impress the interviewers (I can share with you if you would like to know about this).
In this 2 months and 10 days, to quote what a friend said: to catch up with my life, I have done many things which I have not done in the past, especially on travelling and seeing the world. To summarise, my journey was:
KL - Bali - KL - Kota Bharu - KL - Singapore - KL - Kota Bharu - Perhentian Island - Kota Bharu - KL - Shanghai - KL.
Of course, many people, again said, I'm loaded to do all these travelling. But I think every single cents that I spent are worth for the money. It increases my exposures, my experience, and most importantly, I SEE THE WORLD. Chinese proverb says, "Travel ten thousand miles is better than reading ten thousand books", 读万卷书，不如行万里路... which I think its true.
Coming post, I shall share my experience and my thoughts after travelling to many different places.

I went missing since.........
I have gone missing from the blog since ages ago. I did not want to find myself an excuse of not doing this. Afterall, I should be spending time socialising, meeting the real people and human being but not the dead computer, catching up with everything that I have missed, or things that I wanted to achieve but yet to achieve since I left university in 2005.
Its already exactly one and a half month since I left PwC- the place that I have spent four and half year of my most precious golden 20s of my life. Four and half years were not short, although some people said should have stayed longer, and there are people in the firm for like 20 years! To put it into a very simple sentence for what is in my mind: Enough is enough, I have to move on... Where I am heading to is not important, but what I really want to try is something I will appreciate and value.
Yesterday, couple of offers came by, and I am now making my decision. Although I have made up my mind of what I would choose, I'm still feeling hard to let go the other. I know I'm A HUMAN, and I will not be employed by two companies at the same time. Therefore, I have to choose one, and let go the other.
Just hope I will not regret on what I have chosen. Life goes on.
