new blog introduction

seems like i have to either do away with blogging entirely or i should just change the introduction of my blog... i chose the latter =)

the past one week had been hell... ha~ ok, seriously here, it's rather a rude awakening - having to wake up at 5 plus daily so that i can make my way to Tuas for work... as for the work, it's also something which i've never expected myself to do; a small company performing chemical cleaning for pipes for the marine/ chemical industry... well, it started out as a 2-month assignment, was just there to help out with the management, sort of like an in-transition job before i land myself something more permanent... but uncle andrew seems to be kinda hopeful that i would stay on and help out with Max... and that's a bit of a difficult situation for me...

let me explain: all along, i've always wanted to start my career (or at least the first permanent job) in a large organization... went abroad for the past 2 years to gain myself some international exposure, but my, a hell lot had happened over the last one year, and that this continuing financial crisis sems to put all my plans on hold... every single so-called company in singapore (or even in europe) has started retrenching or freeze their recruitment... now, Max and uncle Andrew had sounded me out regarding me continuing working in the company... ha~ both are equally nice to me - giving me lots of opportunities to learn (you can never imagine the places i've been to and the things i saw during the past one week)...

BUT there is this other potential job opening coming up (went for the final interview earlier today, and everything went pretty ok... i spent 50 min chatting with the 3 interviewers --- the previous 2 guys took 10 min each --- everything seems pretty promising),and even though this job was NO WHERE near my initial expectations, it seems to be challenging enough for me to accept it if i were to be offered the position...

so, here is the dilemma; (i) to stay on in uncle andrew's company - with lots of opportunities to learn but be thrown into the deep end of things (will have to learn everything from technical to the management of the workers) or (ii) to go for this other job (if offered - cos this final interview went well) and start from scratch - go for training, and then embark on a long path to fight for myself in this line?
