In memories.

Today is my last day working at ISD,tears dropping from my eyes when looking for the last time my workplace. For 6 years, I being bold, patient, be as positive as I can for survive in this company. I never thought today is the day for me.

Flashback,I came to Penang with empty hand and still wondering what should I do if I can’t find any job, with few ringgits in my wallet I’m hoping to get job as soon as possible.  While waiting my friend interviewed, I was sitting at waiting area and reading the newspaper and I saw advertisement that they hiring for Interior Designer; with one called, I get called for interviewed the next day.

When my friend finally start work, I tried to figure out the place with taking bus, yes, I remembered that day how sweating I am, walked non-stop looking for the bus and exact place. Only Allah know , when I’m almost want to giving up. After found the office and interviewed by them,they asked came for second interviewed for consideration.After interviewed, I walked around at Komtar and applied job at MacDonald as my back up plan. Yes, I never give up as I always think for another option.

Finally, on July 2007, I started work with this company.One years period, I felt want give up with this job, being underestimate by senior, language barrier since most of the contractor spoke in Chinese, my lacking experience on site and list go on. But I keep told myself, I need to give myself to try and be patient since there is no easy job in this world and at same time I need money. Since, I’m made decision to be independent, so I’m totally dependable to my monthly salary.

For myself, from days to month and to years I’m always in process of learning and gain more knowledge in this field. I keep on focus for works even I always had feeling to resign and looking for better job.

I keep seeing people come and go at this company, and never thought finally today is the day.I made decision after one of my best friend told me, I deserved better position, salary and everything and that moment I felt someone is slap on my face. For 6 years, my salary like fresh graduate, the ugly truth office politics I faced for like everyday, boss hardly appreciated my hard works, overloaded works that killing my social life.

Finally, I tried my luck with sending resume for certain company.

Alhamdulillah, I got the job, work with big company in Kuala Lumpur which is listed company. I’m grateful.

But, how bad the company treated me, I believe, there is no perfect in this world. You need to give yourself and company gain trust and work together. That all.

I’m pretty sad for leaving Penang; I had spent my life for like 9 years. 3 years to pursued my degree and 6 years for working life. Such a long journey and soon I’m going to start new life at new office, friends and environment.Something that I wish for my future,for better life. InsyaAllah.

I will be miss my good friends here, they really good friend who share my bittersweet memories. Even though, we are different race, religion but they really like family to me. I’m glad to having them in my life.
