Day 01 - morning

Live from 119 Genting,
and in point form... more or less lag...

Lost as bat, cos its day numerous uno, a deep impression of a power smile which turned out to be the GM.
Following after, a shocking discovery... I just hope I hadn't done any image damage to myself in my Facebook history.


First official sales meeting, first in a sales environment, first time so bored and decide to go "lunch" alone... but think my breakfast to powderful cos I totally not hungry, thus resulting in a teh si & bao takeaway.

Quick Updates

Since the last post, i had been occupied with interview and deciding between companies that had offered me a position in their company. As usual, i could not make out which is the best offer. But i was reminded of my previous experience in deciding between offers… that God had said to me not to take the best option; it was then i realized God was telling me there was no best option, and no matter what i chose, He is there to make sure it is a good option.

Still, i was struggling… and i decided to attend my first Sunday church service in 2010. That one Sunday did what i couldnt do in days, i had my decision. Though much murmuring was surrounding me, as the other company had offered me a better sounding designation and higher basic pay with a possible good commission should i clinch a big project. But, i guess it was God’s courage, i kept to the decision. So, in 7hrs i will be reporting for work, as a Project Sales Engineer.

Today, we also celebrated my grandmother’s birthday! I can see that she was and still is very happy, all 25 of us were there singing and wishing her Happy Birthday! The most encouraging thing was my grandma suddenly broke out into prayer, thanking God for everything before her eyes right after we sang happy birthday song to her… She is thankful for all of us, i melt! My grandma has always been and still IS a great role model!

Then there is one other small thing, i finally had a chance to see some of the outreach gestures by my church, which all along i tot there was none. It was a very encouraging Thursday evening to see so many ppl who are all for sharing the good news! Though this faulty lamp stand has not lit up yet, but its really warmed up by what she saw… :) I hope in the near future, the broken lamp stand will resume the light bearing task.

Wild goose chase... hahaha

The constant reminder and counting done by the closest of my frens were well intentions, though its not sitting well with me on the inside; I'm not saying that its not good, but i really do appreciate these ppl who cut the bull and tell me straight in the face. Anyway, the count has brought me to almost a year since i left my last position in any form of formal work.

Yar i've been browsing around... routinely go on JobDB & JobStreet and sending resumes for positions i thought would be appropriate or even interesting. I admit i've been messing around with some companies, and going to the interviews. But little seems to attract me. Then a grp of pro frens come along and offer to help me by getting me to do personality tests, and one grp even did my Ba Zi Ming Pan Calculations. Suddenly, i get caught up in this swirl of THIS & THAT! Hey, its scary and when it swallows u up, its like quick sand. Our Creator had unparalleled foresight to build within us a spirit, a part of himself as the last line of defense, from losing our minds. This spirit suddenly awakened and rang the alarm, BIG alarm, that says "HEY! SOMETHING IS WRONG! WAKE UP!".

Personality Tests and character analyzing are great tools to use when looking for directions in life. But when you place too much emphasis on these results, they basically dictates your life... why cage yourself in a washing machine and go round & round till u puke???

Yes, i do work along a boundary, to see where my limits are and how far i can go. But i am never in it for too long. SO why should i start now? Ya! SO i SHAN'T & i WON'T!
No more tests, no more calculations, no more horoscopes, enough is enough.

As someone said, i shld do the right thing and not just keep doing things right.
i should give weight to my spirit, and not overwrite it just to avoid conflicts;
I should and i want and i will... TRUST IN GOD.

Careers for ENFP Personality Types

Whether you're a young adult trying to find your place in the world, or a not-so-young adult trying to find out if you're moving along the right path, it's important to understand yourself and the personality traits which will impact your likeliness to succeed or fail at various careers. It's equally important to understand what is really important to you. When armed with an understanding of your strengths and weaknesses, and an awareness of what you truly value, you are in an excellent position to pick a career which you will find rewarding.

ENFPs generally have the following traits:

  • Project-oriented
  • Bright and capable
  • Warmly, genuinely interested in people; great people skills
  • Extremely intuitive and perceptive about people
  • Able to relate to people on their own level
  • Service-oriented; likely to put the needs of others above their own
  • Future-oriented
  • Dislike performing routine tasks
  • Need approval and appreciation from others
  • Cooperative and friendly
  • Creative and energetic
  • Well-developed verbal and written communication skills
  • Natural leaders, but do not like to control people
  • Resist being controlled by others
  • Can work logically and rationally - use their intuition to understand the goal and work backwards towards it
  • Usually able to grasp difficult concepts and theories

ENFPs are lucky in that they're good a quite a lot of different things. An ENFP can generally achieve a good degree of success at anything which has interested them. However, ENFPs get bored rather easily and are not naturally good at following things through to completion. Accordingly, they should avoid jobs which require performing a lot of detailed, routine-oriented tasks. They will do best in professions which allow them to creatively generate new ideas and deal closely with people. They will not be happy in positions which are confining and regimented.

The following list of professions is built on our impressions of careers which would be especially suitable for an ENFP. It is meant to be a starting place, rather than an exhaustive list. There are no guarantees that any or all of the careers listed here would be appropriate for you, or that your best career match is among those listed.

Possible Career Paths for the ENFP:

  • Consultant
  • Psychologist
  • Entrepreneur
  • Actor
  • Teacher
  • Counselor
  • Politician / Diplomat
  • Writer / Journalist
  • Television Reporter
  • Computer Programmer, Systems Analyst, or Computer Specialist
  • Scientist
  • Engineer

The Kyle in us

Kyle XY was a drama which i stumbled upon through online TV, and it intrigued me. The way they had introduced the lead actor, Kyle, and the ambitious plot that the production had wanted was captivating. The way Kyle learns, is absolutely amazing but the one thing that strike me was how much he appreciates his new found knowledge. Most of us, or rather me, a new found knowledge is similar to a new toy, you play with it and u leave it aside when u find something new. But the character Kyle leaks the scent of gratitude, and cherishes each new piece of knowledge. Its a drama, and things can be dramatic or idealistic. But i think its a great reminder that learning itself is something to be thankful for! In my search to collect information, to build up my own library, i guess i may have lost the true intention of building that library within me; allowing quantity of information to overwrite quality, failing to filter the true importance.

There is alot we can relate to Kyle, and alot more that we can get from the show. But i shant tell u any, lest a spoiler be seen.

The first season of KYLE was really interested as we speculate the mystery of his birth, and it was all the more interested to watch him learn… 1 new thing everyday, and i believe we all can relate to his learning experiences in one way or another.

I’ve a slight different preference on films, dramas and movies than others… So dun come complaining to me if u did not like it. Becos i do enjoy this drama, which sadly had announced that there will be no Season 4, nor Season Finale… sucky huh… God, please get those producers to give KYLE XY a proper ending and not the rotten Season 3 ending!

KYLE IS COOL! :)
