IF .....

Lately, my lunches are more fun , as my ex-colleagues - the I-kei 's friends are working at the same customer site. hehe... I get to meet most of the 'gurus' that I've worked with while I was in I-kei. Today, I walked with a network guru to the carpark. Our conversation surrounded on good old times. He said IF I'm still with I-kei, today he may be reporting to me, I could be a manager handling 20 - 30 folks. Back then, I was identified as one of the successor , and put into the leader of the future program, I told my network guru that I'm happy for those opportunities given to me... until today, I've always appreciated all the trainings, opportunities , ups & downs I've gained from I-kei , which moulded me into where I am today :) , I really have no regrets for leaving I-kei, because that change was needed for me to taste yet another great moment in In-Kei.... Now, most of my same aged I-kei friends are managers, they are doing well :) , so IF I did stayed back , I think I could have made it there la :) .... today I am nobody, no one reports to me , a small fly - insignificant - hehehe. Yet I'm enjoying the lifestyle I like, flexible working hours ...IF I were to be in I-Kei, today I could be a monster, a bad-tempered or super busy woman or I could be a very successful career minded woman - whatever it is , I'm really happy for where I am now :) , there's no 'IF' , there's just 'WHEN' opportunity comes , seizes it !

didn't you know 'if' i know by then, there will be no hak yee / beggar on the streets already! I think more importantly you choose what you like and no regret after that. the world has way too many choices and path. but just make sure we choose the right one!

Bahija, I admire the fact that you know what you want, strive for it and most importantly be contented with what you have. I think it is not an easy task.

...at least now you still look young and with not much fine lines. Imagine what 13hrs average work day can do to our hearts and souls... and looks???? There is a price tag for all earthly things, probably except parental love and some amount of friendships.

On one hand, I am happy for you that you are happy but on the other hand, I feel it is a waste of talent. As your friend, of course seeing happy is more important.
