Stepping out from Comfort zone

Last year June 2011 period, I was in my bunk discussing with my Army buddies about our post army life. Most of them who had placing in University will be studying while those who have not secure any placing, will go to society to work. For me, I am in a cross junction do not know which path in my life should I go. In camp, I still advice others to choose something more practical. 

When my ORD was getting nearer, I went around the job portal to submit my resume just to hope company from anywhere will contact me for an interview. I have no reason or purpose of doing it, just send it and hope that there will be someone who can enlighten me and create a path for me. 

One day, just so coincident that I met my sister's financial adviser who got me to ask her for advice and I was been introduced to her team in early July 2011. I spent two to three days with my boss, Mr Anthony Boon following him to his tailor shop, blood donation and other activities. I do not know what am I doing. I had just literally follow and waiting for things to happen. 

After ORD, I went to join them for meeting. I do not know what to do. Hence, I spent time doing nothing and just book for my financial test and pray that I will just pass. I started feeling aimless and clueless with what I am doing. This period, I just take what is coming. I was approached by SHINE a model agency and I went to took a $300+ model shoot and in the end, I rejected the offer. I was also introduced by my students' mum to work in a motor company and I also rejected them. 

People around me started to comment about me. Asking me to stop what I am doing and work on something more practical and better for now. I was pretty tempted by them and trying to look for other alternative. I do not know what make me don't feel like living what I am doing. I always have a sense of believe that I should stay here to get tame to work for my life. 

In March 2012, I finally pass all my 4 papers after 16 - 17 times of taking those exams. I hurry to get my license with the help of my primary school mate, Lee Li Li. And, what now after I got my license! I am happy but with a lot of doubts with this new arena. Hence, I decided to make a change of my life by working as a part timer and will go and look for a full time job. 

Life is well planned for me. At the time of looking for a full time job, I was not given fast. Until a point, I meet up with Anthony and he assign Katherina Goh as my mentor. And this step, it had created a path for me. 

With the help from Katherina, I am able to see and gain a lot about what I need to do. I really thanks her for all her teaching and work that she had done for me.
