a confession to my ex-Boss

Dear Mr. Fang…

I m so sorry for resigning..but I bet u can replace me without difficulty as soon as possible…

My motto is always Work With Passion..you know you are the one who teach me that..there was one meeting where you mentioned this..how you want us to do our work passionately..as if falling head over heels to our own job...yepp..I applied it most of the time...but somehow..after 7 years..I cannot apply the motto anymore…I have no passion for what I was doing…i kept doing my job last minute…I started to make mistake…I always delayed in completing my task…I m whining all the time behind your back...i feel unmotivated..

I really dunno why…Maybe because I hate working on Saturday and on Public Holiday.. maybe I hate that I have to take over someone else’s job all the time…maybe I hate multitasking…maybe I hate handling of more than a project in a time…maybe bcoz I’ve been doing the same thing…and maybe I hate thinking that I have no future in IJM…and there are lots of maybe actually.. and all of these things have changed me..these really effect me emotionally…I believe that we should find happiness in our career as we spend almost 1/3 of a day working…but I cannot find it in my work..i have no choice but to look for other job which can give me “happiness”…i wish i've found it now..

However, I really appreciate everything you have done..your guidance..advice..your trust…you are a great boss..and I will not surprise if one day you become one of the top people in IJM…I wish you all the best ..

But..just a little advice from me..dun be too workaholic..your family need your attention..spend more time with your family while you can...money is not everything...

Trust me..this resignation is the most difficult decision ever in my life…its not easy..7 years..as if I m married to IJM already..hahaha…but I have to…I want to have a more meaningful life…n for me..MONEY is not everything….

Just wish me luck…and no hard feeling BOSS!

p/s: I m so sorry coz I left a lot of “stuff” especially for Parcel E Project…huhuhu…get someone else lah to finish it…IJM Boleh!!!

A turning point..I guess

Alhamdulillah…MMJ dapat KPLI…tp sedih sgt sbb dalam 27 Institut Perguruan (IPG) di seluruh Malaysia nih..MMJ tercampak di Batu Lintang, Kuching, SARAWAK….aduiii…nape lah jauh sgt..i keep wondering ape hikmah di sebaliknya…fariza ckp “yg ko gatal2 ckp sangup na g sabah Sarawak masa interview tu kenapa?mmg le markah ko tinggi..”…huhuhu..

MMJ ingat lagi..start dapat tau result KPLI tuh..MMJ nangis ta henti2..sebak sgt…MMJ ta pernah keluar dr Selangor..Form 1 to Form 5 di Klang, Degree di Bangi, Kerja di Putrajaya…knape da tua2 nih MMJ kna jauh dgn family dan sumer yg MMJ syg…

At first MMJ hesitated..na terima atau tak..mmg MMJ da set dlm kepala na jadi cikgu..tp di Kuching..MMJ kena fikir lagi…mlm tu MMJ solat istikharah…mane tau dapat petunjuk dlm mimpi..ntah nape..esok pagi tu..MMJ bangun dgn kepala yg ringan and mantap na keluar surat resign…

The most difficult thing was..na berdepan dgn my boss of 7 years pasal na resign nih…dah lah tuh give up engineering and na beralih kepada teaching…doesn’t make sense to certain people especially Mr. Fang…tapi dkat waktu lunch MMJ gagahkan diri ketuk pintu Boss and spilled out everything…at first Mr. Fang thought that I’m joking…last2 baru lah dia percaya…Mr. fang ingat MMJ na join JKR..hahaha…pnat da isik SPA tuk jawatan Jurutera…hampeh ta pernah pangil pun…bile MMJ ckp na jadi cikgu..start la sesi brainwash dia…Mr. Fang ta faham kenapa after 7 years MMJ na quit…dia ckp MMJ tader matlamat…dah lah tuh gaji cikgu sket…pastu Mr. fang try takutkan MMJ dgn reality kerja cikgu…semuanyer masuk telinga kanan keuar telinga kiri….sebab I’ve already made a decision!!!

So I tender my resignation…do I regret it?...absolutely not for now…haha…

So..bertungkus lumus lah MMJ settle sumer kerja2 MMJ before resign…kesian Ms Choo..kna take over kerja MMJ…kalu sikit takpe lah…giler banyak..mane tak banyak..4 projek punyer benda wat satu org…dahlah Ms Choo tak bese wat QAQC…makin nipislah rambut Ms Choo..makin selalulah Ms Choo ckp sesorang diri…takpelah..MMJ percaya Ms Choo boleh buat..walaupun slalu merungut2…sampai MMJ dgn Jade sakit telinga…tapi kerja Ms Choo semuanyer bereh…

Sian Jade…being the closest person to her in that office…surelah Jade sdey sgt..sape na teman gi tapau tuk lunch..sape na dngar dia mrungut bila boss bg kejer byk..sape na jd teman bgusip…I m so sorry Jade…u have to make frens with others..they are actually as fun as I am..keep in touch..wish all the best for you in IJM…wish you will get promoted this year…

Letihnya saat2 akhir sebelum pergi ke Kuching..MMJ ni agak complicated jugak orangnyer..so byk benda na settle…mane na settle kejer…na farewell dgn kawan2..na kemas brg..na shopping brg keperluan…aduii..sakit kepala MMJ…

Dalam sibuk2 na settle semua benda..you all na tau ta what happened…MMJ accident…5 hari lagi na bertolak ke Kuching…hampir2 nyawa MMJ melayang..Alhamdulillah Allah masih panjangkan umur MMJ..sejenak MMJ insaf…Ferrari biru MMJ tiba2 out of control dlm hujan..berpusing 2 kali before langgar railing tepi jalan..this happened at Putrajaya on my way back from work…lucky there was no car behind me otherwise I wasn’t here anymore….Tmah, Tiah, sorry ta sempat na citer pasal nih..lagipun masa tu taknak susahkan ati sesapa..
So…hari perpisahan pun tiba…actually Kuching je..still in Malaysia..but somehow MMJ terasa teramat sedih…takut bila fikir sebatang kara je di Kuching…so seperti yg dijangka..MMJ nangis teresak2..masa peluk Emak paling MMJ ta ble tahan…semoga Emak sihat selalu sepanjang MMJ jauh di Kuching…Amin!!

Thanks kepada semua yg hantar MMJ kt LCCT…K.nor…K. Yam n family…K. Min n family..B. Man n Family..K. Faii n family..B. akim n family..Is n Leha…my beloved bestfren..Tmah n Tiah n Family…dan semua yg mendoakan MMJ…

MMJ terus menangis masa beratur na masuk flight…masa sepanjang dalam kapal terbang…masa tunggu beg di Airport Kuching…masa tolak trolley nak cari teksi…masa sepanjang jalan dr airport ke IPG Batu Lintang…air mata MMJ mencurah2..sama mcm cuaca di Kuching waktu tu yg hujan ta benti2 sampaikn banjir…mcm sgt memahami perasaan sdey dlm ati MMJ masa tuh…huhu…

And at last..MMJ menjejakkan kaki ke IPG batu Lintang..dgn harapan setinggi gunung..untuk menjadi pendidik yg berjasa satu hari nant…Insyaallah….

Gudbye engineering...this is a turning point in my life..I guess...
