~ The Next Phase Of Life ~

It has been a month since the 1st day I started working and what can I comment is, this kind of life is not that easy compared to one I had while I was studying. Campus life is much more enjoyable and interesting because you can schedule your day without compromising any other things. It's not that everyday you have class at 8@9 AM and it does not take 8 hours a day to be in lecture hall. It's much more tiring to use your brain doing your work compared to use them in exams. By the time I left office at 6.30 PM, the first thing comes in my mind is dinner followed by my comfy bed! I cannot imagine how it's going to be after I got married and have children, hmmm it's going to be tough challenge I guess. Now I realize it's really hard to have my own income instead of being sponsored by parents. Besides, in office I am considered the newbie who doesn't know anything because I don't have the so-called 'experience'. After 16 years of getting ahead of everybody, scoring good grades and being amongst the top of the class, always being told that I'm good and smart, my ego has shaken a little bit. I don't mean to sing my own praises, it's just weird to be in this situation. It's really not comfortable when your colleagues keep explaining to you how to use Microsoft Word, Excel, etc despite of being told that I've already mastered the applications. I even took computer programming class and got an A for that and the last thing I want to hear is how to insert a cell in Excel! I didn't complain though, just assuming it as a revision :) I also kept my mouth shut when a mistype word in English had landed me an impression that I'm poor in that language! Haiyak.. I need to be patient, there'll be the time when I can shine again but right now I want to work hard and prove to myself and other people that I'm good. Maybe I have been in this comfort zone for too long until I forgot how to survive outside the zone. I have what it takes to be somebody who has great career with bright future lies ahead but the best is yet to come.. Time will show..
