The Correct Path?

Wow.. It has been like, what.. 3 years since my last entry? Well it isn't surprising as I had already mentioned earlier in my first post. Didn't actually have that much interest in writing. So why am I here right now then? Possibly because this is one alternative that I think I can try to release some stuff in mind. Although I know, there won't be anybody reading this. Heck, don't care less about that.

So... What actually happened during these 3 years of silence? let's see.. Before that let me quote a couple of songs.

:: Kelly Clarkson - Sober ::
:: Kelly Clarkson - Already Gone ::

Why her? Simply because I LOVE her voice. And the melody + lyrics in these 2 songs kinda touched me inside. Maybe that's just me.

So back to topic... Let's start with the final project. Well luckily, with all the efforts and contributions from our team members, Farhan, Ira, Hanim, and Azim, we got a D for the subject. Mind you it's not D grade as in A, B, C, D, instead it's D for DISTINCTION (4.00). It was quite havoc back then. Everything was like a race, trying to finish things the quickest possible. We somehow managed to finish up the reports, sent for hard-covering, and submitted right on time.
Thanks guys for all your hard works back then. Without even one of you, we might not have gotten that far.

Then, it was time to pack up, and go back to KL. This was somewhere in July. Got a job at ServiceSoft Sdn Bhd, as a Preventive Maintenance (PM) Technician. We cover mostly government offices in cyberjaya/putrajaya area, doing basic PMs, such as installing/updating anti-virus and printers on their staff's computers. In-line with my interest, but a-bit out from my field of studies, wasn't it? I stayed there for less than a month, and quit after I got an offer at Datacom SEA(M) Sdn Bhd at Bandar Utama. Started working there mid-August as a Technical Support Representative for P1 project.

This was when one of the big events happened. I met an accident during my first few weeks, nearby my home at Desa View Tower, Taman Melawati when I was on my way to office. It was one day before 1st day of Ramadhan. Skidded my bike on the wet road and crashed into one of the resident's car which was on her way back. Ended up with a broken collar bone, and a pain in the ass. Hahah. Got a 2 weeks MC, thankfully. Waking up each morning for sahur was damn hard, trust me. My dad even bought one of those 'lazy chair' to make it easier for me laying down and getting up.

After the 2 weeks, I started going back to work. This was when I started to know what real life actually means. Much different than college life of course. Knowing new people, the responsibilities, and most important of all, improving my communication skills. Even though I'm still not that good in these public relations stuff, but I think yes, there are some improvements. haha. I stayed here for almost a year, when I decided to quit. Reason being because I was given an unconditioned offer to pursue my studies in BoE Mechanical Engineering in Control at University of Aberdeen, United Kingdom. No, I wasn't given any scholarships or what-so-ever. That was when I went to this and that company, inquiring if they give any sponsorship for degree in the UK. Unfortunately there wasn't any. Most companies and even MARA were focusing on SPM leavers, not Diploma holders. There goes my dream to go back to the UK, and I wasn't in the state of 'working-mode' anymore. That was when I encountered with an advertisement in Metro...

Opss, look at the time now.. Got to go have some sleep. Tomorrow seems to be a long day for me. Will update when I have time. So long~
