Finally adopted

My wish for 2007 came true! i got a new job :) i cant contain my happiness and excitement because the new co- Chemical US MNC gave me a great package and most importantly, prospects for the future! i'm overwhelmed. My agent was overwhelmed too. My efforts have finally paid off after so many rounds of interview. i tendered my resignation yesterday and my boss was caught by surprise. It was tough for me to go in and tell him i wanna leave. He's busy travelling for work next week and preparing for baselining in mid-may. It's not a good time i know but i dont have much of a choice. Anyway R (my boss) told me that he will miss me if i leave and he asked if he can do anything to make me stay...like giving a pay increment. I doubt he can ever pay me as much as the new co. R told me if i ever changed my mind or didnt like the new co he would always welcome me back to WN.

He rattled on how he's glad that i did a good job and he never did need to hand-hold me to teach me stuff-he calls it the "auto-pilot mode". He also revealed that he gave me a yearly pay increment and not everyone in my division has a yearly increment. i was touched because i can feel that he appreciates me and im glad that i did a good job. He even offered to be a referral in my resume in future shall i need it. it's hard to describe my feelings now... sad yet happy. haha. I love the people in WN despite certain parts of the jobscope but the prob is how can i move upwards? R emphasized that WN is stable and not all co are stable. i know i can remain in WN forever but what do i learn out of it? i've already learnt all that i could in my position. be it design, writing, events, logistics, product withdrawals, handling countries, weight-lifting w goods etc...it simply became mundane. i believe i am ready to do something new, take on different roles.

A few of my colleagues knew abt my resignation and started sending me "congrats" greetings. suddenly i felt as if im getting married or something...HAHA. just an amusing thought. well, i'm really glad to have met some of these colleagues whom stood by to support me whenever im down at work and it's really sweet when they told me they are worried how R will respond to my resignation and they are very happy for me to have gotten a new job. Lydia sms-ed " will of course support u, we are the si mei jie mei. " that kept me laughing. i will miss "san mei" n jozua too.

anyway i believe the new co will be a big challenge so i better have a good rest and enjoy myself before i start work again on 11th Jun. hope i can handle it man. wish me luck! ;)
