Some things change...and some things don't...

In the 3 months since the last post, a lot of things have happened. Yet, as some things change, I also realise that some things don't as well...

These changes also come with huge consequences which I also subsequently realised...

Work wise, the changes that have happened have also increased...with a looming reorganisation coming within months, a new structure has been thrown upon myself and the entire branch - some will stay where they are, others move...in this case I belong to the latter. My own desire is to continue what I am doing now - I do not like the fact that I have to unlearn and relearn things when I have not even fully mastered what I know in my current scope...so that's what it is... But, if somehow I have to move again, then my own determination in making the best out of everything will have to push me through again... I have to say on record though that one thing that makes the incoming adjustment bearable will be my own colleagues especially in my own section that will help me through...

Some say its all about the timing of coming into an organisation which can either make things smooth sailing, or hit you the hardest...I can say that for a guy like me who will certain appeciates some certainty first this is surely uncomfortable in a way or another...

Yet, time waits for no man...so hmm...

But thankfully some things change also for the better...the fact that I am soon going to be an uncle soon is a good thing - all the joy and busy things to welcome the arrival of the 3rd generation in the family means that I am also chipping in my own fair share of things...which I am more than happy at doing.

On the other side of the coin, some things don't change as well...and whether they are good or bad remains to be seen...

A reunion with some of my pals over a dinner last month was a good thing...especially seeing that all of us are all employed with work to do is a great bonus. But even then, there are still some changes...for example a particular guy friend of mine has seemed to become more arrogant because of his job and his love for it...so much so that he inadvertently brags to the rest of us about it... Weizhen has had more engagements due to her fame in 'Superband'...can't be helped...

In the meantime, I am also trying to plan for a short vacation which I am getting seniors and juniors on board...most likely there will be 5 of us which one of them will be our guide...

There was an old gathering of ex schoolmates during the wedding of one of our classmates...which I ask myself why things have not changed for myself while for the others it seems to go all so well for them...either they have achieved tangible or intangible rewards while it seems that for me I am just another guy on the street...

Which brings me back to square one really. Can I still be who I am - the accomodating, teasable guy on and off work and yet not having achieved anything significant...?

I guess that question was decided for me when one of my best buddies got attached herself - and she told me think things over...

So I guess that's it then... if so, I must go back and work on unfinished things for 2009 so that 2010 will be a better year.

More updates coming soon on my future vacation...btw if you want a clue on where I am travelling...here's one:

- Like Egypt, it has a famous river delta as a key tourist attraction.
