| After almost 2 years, I have finally decided to quit my job and will be leaving in May. Too much pressure, too much stress, too much politics, too much everything for one person too handle there and you don't even get appreciated for the effort you have put in. So what's the point, I have been quite unhappy working there for quite some time now. Going to work is basically doing what I need to do and counting the hours till lunch or end of the day.
I have come to the point, where I feel as though there isn't really any direction for me to go to. Working at Micro Anvika for almost 2 years, feels like I have learned pretty much nothing. Oh apart from having a very good temper to deal with very explosive customers. haha...
Don't have any confidence with current skills and experience I have to apply for other jobs, to be honest I don't even know what I should be looking for. Cause I don't feel like I have the right skills for most of the jobs I look at and I'm trying to avoid being an Apple Technician again. As much as I enjoy being an Apple Technician, it's not something I can do all my life.
In my desperation... errrr... wouldn't really say desperation... more like.... "xxxxx" I'll think of a word later, while looking for life after Micro Anvika. I happened to come across a few organisations, voluntary work organisations that is. Referring to VSO, Changing Worlds, and GVI. I feel quite lucky I came across this information to be honest, at my current point in life. I believe it is the best thing I can do at the moment and there is so much I can gain from the experience.
So I have decided to apply, if so fortunate they happen to accept me. I hope to leave sometime near the 3rd quarter of next year, if not early 2011. I will be gone for minimum 6 months, longest 2 or 3 years.
I already received comments like "your wasting 2/3 years, where you could be working at somewhere else", that is true. But can I really find a "good" job, at the moment I have no direction and no confidence in my own qualifications and skills. While I am still young (sort of), not much responsibilities, no dependents (still single). Why not!!! I can only gain/benefit from the experience, and I am sure I will return a much more mature/wiser Adrian Pun.
Actually I have received quite a lot of support from my Uncle's in Hong Kong about my choice, my parents are slowly accepting the fact that I have made this decision, even though they are not sure why still. But especially my Uncle David, has been very supportive in my decision. When he was about my age (25), completed his Masters degree in English in the states and he too was quite lost in terms of his career at the time. Luckily he received a lot of advice at the time and he signed up for the Peace Corp, 3 years later.
He actually had an interview at RTHK on Radio 1 about his experience as a voluntary worker and mainly discussing about the current youth generation. It's quite an interesting interview and really worth listening to. His interview starts at about 29 minutes, RTHK Radio 1 28/06/2009.
To conclude on this, I just really need sometime to find myself and my direction. No better way, than to disappear somewhere, help others that are in need and learn something in the process.
Next topic...
I must admit, I really do fall for someone far too easily. Seriously, what is wrong with me. haha..
Example, at my favorite salon watching my friend get their haircut. One of the assistants comes over and starts playing with my hair, guess it wasn't busy that day. But yeah, and in my mind. She became a goddess from that point on... haha...
Another example?? might aswell... met someone's sister and a birthday party, you could call it "love at first sight".
Anyways, as much as I say to myself I don't believe in "love at first sight" and I prefer to know people better before hand. I don't think I am preaching what I am saying, my problem is I am the type that thinks too much. Seriously, too way much.
Obviously, nothing has happened since in regards to the above examples either I'm too useless to do anything or the other person is just playing games. All in all, maybe I'm trying too hard (if there is such a thing) or maybe I'm deemed to be single???... It's not that bad is it???
Just really confused...sometime's you would take a step, and nothing happens...when you have calmed from that situation, something randomly happens....to bring you back where you started...
confusion...confusion...confusion...
Just wish things could be a lot more simpler...
Obviously, with this looooooonnnnnnggg entry... There has been quite a lot on my mind lately, as always. Being the thinker that I am.. LOL... Anyways let's just finish this off with some BBQ photo's:
