Yet Another Autumn
 |
Blink of an eye, it’s that time of the year again.
It was the same season last year when both Eng and I entered the UK together (though Eng was here much earlier than me).
It was the season when we both were so busy with business travels and at the same time had to cope with relocation matters.
It was the season when we had to look for a permanent residential location in less than a month (I was lucky as Eng did most of the findings as I was traveling).
It was the season when we arrived quite empty handed whilst we waited for our 40 packs shipment to arrive from KL.

It was the season when I was trying to adjust to the hot weather in Bangalore and cold weather in UK on alternate weeks till I developed some skin rash that impured me for 2 months!
It was the season when I visited Microsoft in Redmond, Washington that totally changed my mind on career progression in IT. No offence to Microsoft fans, but the expressionless, technical geeks at work really freaked me out. I did not regret, on the other hand I am extremely glad that the opportunity had made me discover my true interest. Nevertheless, I love the colours of fall in Washington. Aren’t they lovely!
After all the “fun and games”, it was miraculous that we managed to get through the trying times with endless constraints. It makes me believe that we as humans can always survive challenges when the time comes and should not let fear or doubts hinder us from progressing. Every encounter will definitely have its own risks and if we do not try, we would never know the outcome. Its just part of life, isn’t it? Most importantly, we get to cherish and learn from the process – mel.

I change my mind all the time but if I dislike something, I cannot force myself to it. So I’ve moved on to a more business intimate role. 0 technical.
