Project Management

Phew. It's finally Friday, I'm so glad. I started working at BFI last Tuesday and I feel so tired. I leave home by 7am everyday and reached home around 7pm. So when I reached home, all I can do is eat, shower, cool down abit and have to go sleep. My thoughts for now: I don't think I wanna have a life like that for long. I'd better have my own business where I can set my own rules and priorities.

Frankly speaking, I am abit overwhelmed by the job scope. The company is currently running 4 inter-related projects to revamp the business process. My job is to manage the projects (as a Project Officer). While I have no experience managing a project. Those projects are huge, I would say. It'd totally change how the company will operate in the future. So I guess that'd be a struggle for me, no?

And not only that, I am also new to the company.. 4 days old to be exact. I have not much knowledge on the company products and way of doing business. And here I am, asked to keep track of my 'seniors.' Wish me luck. If I can pull this through, I'll feel this great sense of achievement.

I am currently searching around, looking for more information on project management. What does it entail, which software can help me in this? I can recall bit and pieces of memories from P370 but not enough of them for now. So please let me know if you have any inputs/suggestions.

Anyways, I've been wanting to write an entry on the CNY celebration. It was great; I had an enjoyable time and break. We had more relatives visiting our house than expected -- which made it more fun. So on Saturday, we had a family home-cooked dinner at my house.. just for 'internal' families (cousins and their families). The night was spent away eating, chatting and playing cards.

Sunday morning, those same people came again plus my father's cousins and their families. The whole house sounds like there's a war (they speak loud) and they spent the whole afternoon here. The kids, or rather young adults, again spent the day playing cards.

Alrighty, that's enough update. Time to go back to info gathering and then I need to sleep soon. I am going to my dad's office tomorrow. Huff.

random thought

just a random thought.. do you feel what i feel sometimes? like some days, you feel satisfied with yourself.. you feel like you're a capable person and should just feel contented. but the next day, you feel like crap.. like this lousy, underperforming person. do you?

it's a weird feeling when i think about it. i am the same person today or tomorrow but i can feel so different. maybe that's normal human feeling. >.> humans are weird then i guess.

moving on. i am in dilemma right now. actually the dilemma hasn't been resolved since many months ago.. i just got tired of it and stopped thinking about it. the dilemma is "what should i do?"

i generally have 3 options.. or 4:

1. work at my dad's company and take over after some years

2. work at another company in indo, get experience and maybe start my own business or eventually take over my dad's business

3. go to china and take mba

(4). go to singapore and give me some final months to search for a job

i wish there can be an angel suddenly appear and give me some clues.

today, i went to the company that i interviewed last time again, had another interview and then had my health check-up. so if everything go smoothly, i should start work on Tuesday (after CNY). anyways, i think my dad is confusing sometimes. one day, he goes "yea, you should get some experience working for another company and then see if there's any good opportunities." the next day, he asks "you don't like doing business [as in continuing his business], do you?" *sigh* i'm already confused and that is not helping me.

overall, though, the blame's on me. i don't even know what to do with my own life.

Dentist Tonight

I'm going to the dentist tonight. So exciting.. not! I hate going to dentists, I think the worst kind of doctors so far. Not cuz of their personalities or anything, but because of the pain they always put me through. T^T

I'm gonna check on my upper left wisdom tooth. I went to the dentist a few months back to also check on those annoying wisdom teeth. My upper right one was in the process of growing normally but the upper left is not out yet. So I did an X-ray and it shows that the left one should be growing normally as well. But after several months, I still can't see it coming out.. although I feel the pain as if it's growing. When I touched the gum in that area, there are like little bumps (?). Hopefully those are not from the tooth that's growing abnormally. Just to be sure though, I better go check again. Crossing my fingers, hopefully it is actually growing right.

Even if it's growing right, I still have to take those upper wisdom teeth out too.. since I already took out both my lower ones. What a nuisance. I guess that's proof that people's jaws are becoming smaller and smaller, hence the lack of space for the teeth.
