1 Year Anniversary in the Engineering Sector

Next Wednesday marks the day where I had officially stepped into the working industry for a year. Time flies and things happen for the past year. Good, bad, unhappiness, happiness, it all happens.

I still remember when I first graduated and stepped in to join the workforce, I was still filled with uneasiness. I didn't know what to expect and only to hear  horror stories from friends who have already been working. I must consider myself lucky to have superiors who are supportive and willing to teach, but I have had my fair share of unhappiness while working too. There's people who admires how I can get into the oil and gas industry, of my working hours, of my free transport everyday, of my pay etc but at the end of the day, there's really nothing to admire about. It doesn't matter if you have everything but you are unhappy. I wouldn't mind trading all these for happiness.

Of course during my one year of work, I have heard many, experienced many and finally realized many things. There are all sorts of people I came across. And then it led me to think what sort of background were they from, what kind of life are they leading that makes them behave this way. It's interesting to know.

I have learnt a lot albeit some things that may happen along the way. The job scope is fine and there's nothing much to complain about at the moment. It's just the people to people relationship and politics that makes the working environment a little harsh.

I have to learn to be strong mentally.
