Updates! Updates!

The past 2 weeks has been a very drama week for me. Reason being i was actually offered a Marketing position with Kah Motors. You might be wondering why would it be a drama week since it should be a dream come true for me. Afterall, this isn't what i have always been praying for. However, when the chance actually presented itself just after one interview, i started having doubts. Furthermore, the HR wasn't very friendly as she is constantly pressurizing me into giving answer.

After recovering from a state of shock, I decided to give it a try and informed my immediate boss abt my decision. Then surprisingly, they came up with a counter offer with another department doing customer business development. Dilemma again...since it was an area that i was interested in but have no confidence if i will realli be interested after actually doing the job. Hence, for the last 2 weeks, my mind was in a real mess and lost. For those who have been with me then, i realli appreciate all the listening ears that you have offered. I bet i was driving u nuts with my indecisiveness.

So after much delibration and imagine spirtual guidance as well (not to bored you with my decision making process), i decided to step out of my comfort zone and embrace what it is coming my way. Not sure if it will turn out good but i guess there is no 100% in everythings. I am fully prepared that there will be a lot of adjustment from my end and in adapting into the new work environment and culture. I bet in every job there will be areas for me to complain abt since i am the ultimate complaint queen. Lastly, what can be worst? At most just unemployment and then another cycle of job searching where i have actually do it for the past 4 yrs. Furthermore, it was also part of my plan to leave my current role in the next few mths.

So i will be officially leaving my comfort zone in next couple of weeks. Thereafter taking a short break before starting off in a new environment on 12 November. With this new job, i will be required to work till 7pm every mon, tue, thur and friday. Hence, for those who like to meet me after work next time, i will only be able to reach town by 745pm, earliest. So no more early krissy waiting for u all but u all have to wait for me.

Wish me luck in my future role.
