Today was my convocation at NTU. This day on, I am only an alumni and not a student in this great institute that had gave me the 1st ticket to the real world I will need to face to the end of time.
And the world has started to unfold on me already.
2 days, I accepted the offer from NatSteel, former Singapore-owned, now under the Tata group of India. From this on, I will be working under the top steel company in Asia, and moving closer to a childhood dream of building giant robots.
Hey, with today metals, nothing bigger than 5 m can be built... Someone has to come out with better metal, you know.
In a way, the career upstart is almost like blasting off like Iron Man. In a way, I am one now, since I will be covered by iron soot for the better half of my life from now on.
Like any job I apply for, I look for something I have interest in. When I am talking about interest, it got to be something I will be willing to work on for 2 - 3 years, just the right amount time I can gain the necessary experience to go on in this industry for the years to come.
My work place is going to be something most people would not be able to withstand, but my endurance in workplace, is way over that. I am proud to say I am true to the Engine part of being an Engineer, down and dirty.
I hope I can still say this 5,6 years down the road: My working place is hot as hell, foggy like heaven, and I just love it.
It have almost been a month seen I last wrote anything here. Not much of a reason, just nothing much to write about the life of an job-awaiting.
I don't want to write anything that may not be fulfilling itself yet.
But why suddenly decide to write now? lou ma zi's problem, the breast cancer problem. It's seems that some white spots have been discovered on her recent check-up.
But then again, she's taking it very much lightly this time, but not lou dao. I will talk about that another time.
All and all, it may not be really a bad thing to leave this page blank sometime. It just goes to mean that I am living a fairly stable life.
What's wrong with a smooth sailing life?
I don't know, hopefully I will find the answer soon enough.
