Autumn

Dear blog,

It seems that it's Autumn here in Malaysia. This is the season for cinnamon & sweater, the perfect time to snuggle in loose pyjamas. It is so hard to give up my blanket in the morning and get ready for work. I found myself indulge in more and more sweet treats.

Memories of September 2013 is still vivid in my mind, bitter and sweet. I was a student back then. Life took me down a different path after I graduated with a Bachelor degree of FST from University. I took some time off and started carving out the image of future in a way that I never did before. As a grown-up adult, my imagination is being restricted by reality. I find excuses of how things may fail and become discouraged by them. As timid as I was, I gathered my soul and body to attend the OD to my dream. I have no regret even though I was not successful.

Not long after that, I joined IBM and became part of the integrated supply chain where I gain a real insight about working in a big corporation. I accepted this job offer partly because I was afraid of unemployment and I was not passionate enough to get a science related job. Working was demanding and the load often requires me to work until as late as 11pm. I was torn by people's expectation and I learned how the slightest mistake can bring a serious consequence. 

Throughout that period, I lost my balance several time. I would not say I am coping well at the moment but slowly blending in. Looking ahead, I am firm of my passion of getting connected with people. This job has allowed me to improve my presentation and communication skills, which are much needed in order to be successful at my dream.

I promise myself to learn as much as I can, be fearless to dream and be courageous in all aspects of my life.

Yours truly,

Hazel.
