The Road Ahead

"When there is light, there is hope."

One need not be reminded that all good things will come to an end. 2 months to being Five years in NCS, i have decided to take the next step out of this place, a place which i have stayed for as long as i had in Secondary school (I spent 5 years in Mayflower Secondary School). Damn, that's pretty long isnt it.
There is probably little element of surprise to anyone reading this, especially if you were in this with me for as long as this project. I have simply lost count on the number of farewell emails i've received and lunches i had attended. Since change is constant, there will come a day which you will move to the next stage, whether it's a job hop, retrenchment or simply retirement.

I feel deeply gratified (An(1) Wei(4) in chinese) that in the course of my life here, I have the good fortune of meeting countless good souls, including brilliant ones like Davinder, Shishir, CJ etc (the list goes on) whose aspirations is admirable.

As revealed to some of you, I will still be doing SAP but more audit related. Perhaps it is not within the culture of certain companies to be too open with your salary, your grade or the $ of allowance, i guess i can throw them all out of the window because i am unemployed now :D

Ok lah, in order not to burn my bridges i guess i should still be sensitive a bit. By now, some of you may already know where I am going. I have chosen a path which will not be any less challenging than in NCS. In fact it is a different (audit) environment which i foresee (And also heard) that the pace will be faster and more demanding than before. Salary wise, it's hard to compare.. roughly 16% increase but note that there is no AWS in audit company. So if you try to be calculative, the increase per annum isnt that great, but to hell with it because i really like the job scope therefore the Pay and location need not be FANTASTIC.

I will end this by saying that the world is too small for us to say goodbye. Yesterday we were colleagues, today we are friends but yet tomorrow we may work together again. I have learnt never to say never because nothing is certain in life and we must try to treasure and enjoy the good times while we can. So till then, look for me if you are into the following stuff; xbox360, ps3, SAP Security, Cats, Tarots, coffee, soccer, bowling, Standard CHartered Run 2007, farewell lunches ^_*.
