This is the day. Perhaps this is the better choice.

It was my thought when I reported to work here.
I know I am not that kind of typical "GenY" who changes job very often. It was a choice, to start after one year of exile.

My first job was a marketing job although I asked for an engineering position. It seemed like the interviewer (who was also the lady boss) thought I have the potential to become one of the best CPO traders in Malaysia. I proved myself in doing marketing, ending my probation in 6 weeks, instead of 6 months. My boss (who I called "Tan Sri") also like to bring me to places. It was a good exposure for me, meeting important people, business and alcohol, I knew it's going to end soon.

My second job was a design job. Once again I proved my capability of being an engineer by training, securing contracts worth close to one million in just 3 months. I really like to see my capability being measured by money. Office politic was another thing. Perhaps having some "permanent fixtures" in the office is equal to petting chaos. Just when I thought I was going to settle down for at least a couple of years, someone from there called.

It took me 4 months from that call to the day.

Now it's still in my thought.

This is the day. Perhaps this is the better choice.

The Khmer Tour

I love to travel although I didn't get to do as many as I wish.

Cambodia is my 4th country, after Vietnam, China & Singapore.

I like to experience the culture and heritage, so Cambodia, being the home country of one of the most phenomenal world heritage site, the almighty Angkor World Heritage site, had given me a wake up call.

In 1975, the Khmer Rouge regime, under Pot Pol's extremism, killed 3 million people, either by torture or planting thousands of landmines across the Thai-Khmer and Vietnam-Khmer border. Yet, as of today, the people of Khmer live their lives believing that they are living the hopes of the diseased. Such cruelty over the past had grown their anxiety and desire for peace and harmony.

This land belongs to the peace-loving people.

In a few more years' time, this country will recover from their painful past and soar into a liberal society.

And I am so fortunate to live in Malaysia. Although we did experience racial conflict and dispute, our issue is so microscopic compare to theirs.

My take away from my trip to Cambodia: Your problems are always microscopic, it's you who magnify it. Life is tough but never too tough that you can't handle.
