Today Mr Lim called for discussion.
This wasn't the important ones, the discussion after the meeting is. Lol.
The CC I know - Clarence & Cheok, the way they asked me made me reflect the whole conversation in another perspective. The flow:- Talking about personal stuff (5min) -> then went into the "what is my plan after leaving the job?" -> 'attacking on details' which could be:-
1. I have not think through on my future planning because I don't have a job yet
2. If I quit now, the sudden stop of cash flow which I totally agreed on. And definitely one of the reason I felt fearful. That is why, I have decided to secure a job within a month after walking out from current job.
-> the last two weapon that you have brought out
What is the benefits/plus points out of the conversation:-
1. No, I am definitely not joining Kevin immediately. Can't have unstable income. How I could have support him better is not to give him the pressure by taking off the money issue out from him.
2. As for beading, I will have to start it quick. Business proposal plan has got to be out. Now, NAME/LOGO/FACEBOOK acc/PICTURES/NAMECARDS will be First PRIORITY.
3. Talk to mummy. Let her understand, gives her comfort that I will definitely get a job within a month time.
How I felt throughout the conversation:-
1. I felt stronger/burning DESIRE to be in the sales line.
2. You actually bite your own words, on 2 incidents. One is, initially you asked me why not getting yourself to be as insurance agent. Two is, you are the one told us 2 months ago to follow our feelings in our career but now you asked me to think logically. I am young, I could have lose taken a different path but I lose more if I don't take the risk to do it now.
3. I have mentioned that I am very sure that I am no longer interested in the job, but it seems you have not listen it. Maybe..maybe.. you do not agree that I could have succeed being a sales person. But like what I have mentioned in my previous post, I have someone that have been supporting me and see me succeed.
Thank you for the sincere advices..
Call me selfish but I think my future is crucial as compared to anything now..
Last note:
I don't want to forget this thus penning it down..
My dear Kevin Saw,
Thank you for asking me to be firm before the talk.. And has always reminded me that things are not always rosy.
I now could have understand better that the sun doesn't shine on every part of the world. And when it is dark, I just gotta learn to see the little light in it.
I do reckon that there are things where you are at the upper hand, but what I am asking for is seeing you standing up for it. Just like last night.. <3

Leaving A job..
Never have thought leaving a job could be stressful and to make me put my fingers together for this blog post.
Few questions I would like to ask:
1. For the one year I have been with you, how do you see me as a person now?
2. I wanted to move out from sales management because I eager for the practical experience; and if you say that I am not ready. OR if I am not suited for a sales job, what do you see me would excel in then? Or by when that I am ready?
3. If I don't start it now, when is the right timing?
4. If you are really concern of me, why now?
You are the one who asked us to go with our gut feelings when we are at work, especially this age. It is what I am feeling right now. And I have never been through the phase to search for a job while still in current job, because I just don't seem it to be right. I see searching a job as a job itself.
My dear boss, you are the one who told us that a sales person could be shaped/trained. If you tell me I am not ready, what if I tell you I am ready for the challenge? I love interacting with people and I know I am good at it.
Allow me to share with you a story..
Do you know Jay Chou? How much do you know about him?
that he is very well-known internationally.. A very talented Music Player that many many fans admire and chasing after his music?
I get to read a little more about his background lately. People who understand a little bit more knows that he loves his mother a lot. He will do anything if it could make her mom happy, he even had had an album who name after his mom.
When he was 4 years old, his mom sent him to the childcare's Piano class and Jay who is normally actively playing suddenly becomes quiet and stood beside the piano teacher when he plays it. And he actually repeated the song after listening only once to the teacher playing it.
And the teacher told his mom about it that Jay is very talented. And for this, his mom actually spent all the savings just to buy the piano. The father actually do not agree in it. And ever since, the parents are always in argument.
His parents got divorced when he was 14, then he wrote "There is no love between Mom and Dad, is life as such as it is?" This has shaped the strong character of Jay being silent,stubborn and rebellious.
Jay was only good at Piano but nothing else during his academic life. There was even one point for which the teacher actually points it out to his mother that he has learning disabilities. But his mother never give up on him. However as expected, he had not been able to make it through to University.
The Mother and grandparents were very worries about him, even so during his serve for military service. He got Spondylitis, which may cause paralysis of the body in the later stage.
After when he recovers from the sickness, he worked in a restaurant. The boss never had good impression with him until he discovers that Jay could have play the Piano very well.
His mother realized the talent in him, and has supported him all the way even though it's a tough and rough route.
Till today, he is a successful Music Talent even though he might have the weirdest lyrics of all.
Moral of the story: If you don't think that I am ready, then who am I? When I was with you guys, I know that there is always someone better no matter how hard I've tried. All the people would have known how much effort I have put in. So are you denying all my efforts?
I do appreciate what you guys have thought, but please let me see WHY I should still stay?
Dear Vicky, do you know why I have grown under your wings? Because of your unconditional support and space you have given me to grow mine. Seriously, I don't see it when I am with them.
I don't understand why getting out of one company can be so complicated...
Good to still have some third opinion? =)
In conclusion, TWO MAIN THING:
1. To leave with good impression, which doesn't really matter any more.
2. To get myself out of the company.
Signing off feeling satisfied *grin
