I am a financial analyst by profession. Today marks the first Saturday of a quarter end closing which I do not have to work. Yipee!! So what will I be doing instead this weekend instead of work? Very routine stuff, cooking, going to gym and a bit of cleaning. Simple stuff that doesn’t take much time but which I just didn’t have the luxury of time before.

The decision to leave my previous company was not an easy one to arrived at. It took me many months and deliberations before I had courage to do so. This part of the story really requires another posting (more than one actually).

Instead, what I would like to share today is the pros and cons being in a new company. What I definitely am enjoying now is the WORKLOAD lack of workload :p. I am now able to clock in and out on time and thereby spending more time doing personal stuff such as cooking a simple dinner and going to gym. Not being fatigue all the time to do anything but just to sit and be zombified nor suffer through constant migraine caused by constant stress and lack of sleep. In my previous company, half day leaves begins at 5pm, and so what if you are sick, the work will still be there….MCs – what are those??

Having said that, although I am enjoying the workload now, I am a bit concern with the lack of challenge in my current role. Wonder how long it will take for my brain cells to die off due to the lack of brain churning required to perform my tasks.

Also I miss my friends from my previous company desperately! People who will talk and joke with me, the teamwork that we have having work together the past few years. Thank goodness for MSN, which allows them to layan me whenever they have the time

Having said all that, there is a part of me that regret having to leave my old company, but the importance of personal time and health issues helped me decide to be where I am today.

I have always liked cooking but did not do much of it until late last year. My excuse before was that I didn't have the time when actually I just dislike the preparation process. Hehe...

In most blogs that I read/stumble upon, the first post usually sounds like the one that I am about to write. That either, they are starting this as it is the trend & everyone's doing it, a common place to share with their friends and families what they've been up to or just a place to verbalise their thoughts, amongst others.

For me, it is the last part, plus the fact that I am most of the time bored hence needing something to do! Hehe.. Not too sure if I intend to share this with anyone I know as I am sure at one point or other, the post may very well be about them, and it may not be something nice! Hehe..

So this is it, my maiden post. Let's see how it goes...

Note to self : Need to remember to stop typing using abbreviations that only I can understand :p
