In the name of Allah , the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. New year. 2012.
New resolutions? No, I say I'd enough resolutions last year and I plan to bring it forward as part of my cousin's advice as well. The fact that I reached few targets last year is really up-lifting my burden. All thanks to Allah, and my parents and families. I owe them big time.
Part 2:
Anyway, looking back in the past year, 2011, the last tri-month (I'm not preggar, mind you =P), was awesome! I had an interview for a new job. The very next week, 2nd interview, and the very next month, the new company has given me a new lease of life! I am no longer working in the playground manufacturing company but event company where I got to explore new field of design. I am so grateful that they are willingly to 'risk' me in the company. And for that, to Allah I put on hopes and praise gratitude.
It is a totally new environment, from the software, work space, working hours, work attire, working attitude, colleagues, etc. I thought all 3D softwares would be almost the same feature but this time around, I was totally wrong. I have to learn and clear my memory from the previous software skills (which is merely impossible since I have a good memory, masha Allah. Haha). Just imagine using a software that almost 3 years competently and now I have to change the whole thing, that's not a piece of cake, man. Nevertheless, this opportunity is like a dream comes true, and I will never go and throw this out of window. I will strive and make this happen for an opportunity doesn't knock twice. It's a kick-start for me as well to move on to a higher level. I know that I have to learn and work hard, but it's worth a try.
Now that I'm in the chinese company, (previously was Malay), I have to survive on my own. There are little malay restaurants in the area, and finding a Halal restaurant is not easy-reach eventhough I'm still in Malaysia. Even so, I might have to drive to find Halal food and finding parking is really an issue since it's a commercial area. This has made me thinking how hard to survive oversea, and I have to salute those (as a Muslim) who can strive without you having had to be compromised with the regulations of Islam rule. My solution; bring food from home, which I try to make it a habit next week. (I might sound so exaggerate, yeah, I know it's not THAT HARD to find stall or restaurants serving Halal food, but I'm a picky eaters and I find it less options that lead me to the solution).
Surau, or praying room is not provided in the company. Well, there are only two Muslims including me, so I can sense that there are no reason they have to provide one, plus it's not a big company and we're all cramped up ourselves. Nonetheless, they are so very respectful that they allow us to perform our solat in the 2nd floor meeting room and if it's equipped, we can solat in hidden corner where none of them barely see us. They'll lower the voice tone and let us alone worshiping Allah. It is a shoes-off company for your information, so the floor is clean.
When it comes to colleagues, they are very helpful especially my department. I can't say enough gratitude towards my colleagues named Epei, Joseph the Design asst manager and Kak Anis. They are very kindhearted willingly to teach me nearly everything I needed to know in this field. Thank you so very much. Thus, I'm hoping and praying that I will strive and sharpening my edge and skills towards better self-development this year. It sounds more like resolution though? No, it's my target. Haha.
