It's amazing how time flies. It's been 3 years + since I last blogged. Looking back, I can't help wondering how working life has changed me inside out. I've quit my job at Sony since end October this year and it feels good that I have a chance to take the steps to follow my passion in life.
3 years flew by, I worked hard at Sony. Bought a gorgeous Subaru hawkeye impreza for daily commute within 6 months at the job. Went around for business trips, travelled to Miyagi Japan, loved that place, loved the culture, love everything there. Worked in Batam and hated the working environment, and the weekly trips that only allowed me to return to Singapore on weekends. Learned to appreciate Singapore even more ever since. Learnt to see the corporate world, business strategy and dealings, saw how to solve real problems with both people and machines. Had a tough but ever willing to teach boss who shared the same passion for Subaru cars. Worked endless hours, days and nights. Weekends and public holidays. I saw batches of people from various batches, come and go. Became the last sole standing survivor at Sony when all my peers had left to pursue their dreams. Lost of large chuck of my social life due to the mental and physical overload on myself. These 3 years were fulfilling in a dark way, very rich in dark black and grey hues but somehow lacked the colour that made life beautiful. Finally had the courage and decided to quit and regain my sanity. Currently trying to lay the bricks to find a new start within the financial sector as a trainee dealer.
Found a new obsession inSubaru Rally cars and fell deeply in love with it ever since. Joined the Subaru Club and got to know a new clique of friends. Massive car convoys, Mega photo shoots, amazing road trips to Malaysia tearing the highways and adventuring new places. Late night supper at Kulai for Tim Sum. Saw my ex-gf get married. Saw my brothers getting conscripted into the army. Joined facebook and regained all my lost contacts. Signed up a gym membership with California Fitness only to see the money thrown into the gutter due to the lack of energy to workout. Went back for reservist at Airport Police and realised a decade has passed since we completed our national service. Saw my uni friends getting married and having their first baby. Got to know a buddy in my neighbourhood for weekly car washes. Finally picked up roller blading and made it a weekly effort to scuttle along East Coast Park. Decided it is time to settle down and find a soulmate.
Much has changed since 2006. Oh yes. I'm glad to be back.
