You know, the more I work at where I’m working now, the more I don’t see myself as an engineer when I graduate. The guy from Careers Administration Office was right. The IA allows us to have a ‘feel’ of the industry and real world, and essentially enables us to see if we’re suitable for that particular industry. I’m only in to the 4th week and I guess, the answers pretty clear.
Well, it ain’t exactly mundane: the Job does require quite a fair bit of critical thinking and a small dose of analytical skills.
It ain’t exactly tiring: many a times I find myself jogging after the Job and night class/DGH/dinners, and with plenty more energy to burn. (Well, maybe it’s the guilt of face-stuffing during the day that’s pushing me on.)
It ain’t exactly stressful: there are times when my mind drifts to places during the Job for long periods. I consider that a luxury.
It ain’t exactly bad-paying: I mean, it’s the lowest we can get as an intern… but hey, the proximity and the convenience. What more can I ask for? And I understand that some people from poly actually don’t get paid for their IAs. I’m thankful.
It ain’t exactly, well, bad.
But it’s just… I don’t know. Perhaps my MBTI test was right. ENTJ/ENFJ.
Organizers. Encouragers.
Traits: Driven to turn theories into plans, highly value knowledge, future-oriented, natural leaders, impatient with inefficiency and incompetence, want things structured and orderly, excellent verbal communication skills, self-confident, decisive, and read: DISLIKE routine & detail-oriented tasks.
Well, maybe that last bit about routine and detail explains my daily dread of machine operations…
Potential strengths: Can get things organized. Prolem solving at a systems level. Decisive. Analytical thinking. Long-range vision (oh, I’m 1000 degree myopic. BOO!)
Career Trends: management or leadership positions in BUSINESS or EDUCATION, where tough-minded analysis and a talent for organization are required. (Business and education huh? So not engineering.)
Most attractive Occupations: Consultant (Management Human Resources), Computer Professional, Physician (Family), Manager (Sales), Manager (Executive), Credit Investigator or Mortgage Broker, Marketing Professional, Administrator (Education), Administrator (Health), Entrepreneur, Lawyer (yeah right.), Judge (Hoon you reading this?!?), University Professors and Administrators.
Crap crap crap. Quarter-life crisis is back! Oh the unknown future! Haha. How different would everything be, should I discover my interest in physiotherapy 3 years back?

“Please take from me my life, when I don’t have the strength, to give it away to you Jesus…”

I want more time to read my books. I’ve got volumes of them sitting on the shelves calling out to me…

YAAY! I won an umbrella from that mini basketball game at the Starhub roadshow @AMK Hub. The first time in my life that I’ve EVER won something like that.
Dude, you should have just given me that umbrella. Seriously. I couldn’t have missed. HA!

Dreams oh dreams…
First was a blur. Perhaps a prelude to the other two.
Second was weird. And uncanny. Thought provoking.
Third was sweet. And the thoughts of the first two nights were settled.
Perhaps I could have the third one every night?
Or could I have it every day? hmmmm. I wonder.
What say you?

Standard Chartered run. Anyone?

Monday’s coming. Oh the blues are already waist high.
