6 months into my present job

Time really fly.. it already been 6 months since I join my new organisation. Looking back into the these 6 months these are the highlights:

  • Stepping into a new office on the first day of reporting to work. Attended the briefing session and had a small tour of the new office.
  • Went for a team building course in India and getting to know my fellow colleagues in there.
  • Attended a month's course to familiarise myself with the new banking system.
  • Spend a month in Shanghai to get the my hands dirty with the operations of my new job.
  • Being away from my family for the longest duration of time, feeling homesick.
  • For the first time, I was not been able to be with my wife and daughter to celebrate their birthdays.
  • Going back again to Shanghai after spending less than two weeks at home.
  • Back in KL after spending three weeks in Shanghai.

Half way through the year and still have not a full grasp of this big organisation I am in. The structure of the organisation is far more complex from my previous considering the big network of branches and offices all over the world.

One nice thing, I get to see many places, talk and meet with many people from all over the world and I hope there are more happenings for the next 6 months!!

Selba,

As you know, life is not always a rosy path, there are ups and downs. So far I have enjoyed myself here.

there are things at work that you do now would not be at where you were than. you are a positive thinker, anything unbecoming is a blessing, keep it that way, my friend.
