I started my career with my present employer as the first job, on 2nd June 2005. Together with me who joined on the same day, is a MMU coursemate of mine - Ken Wei. Besides, we also have another MMU graduate of the same batch (but from different faculty), who joined a month earlier - Chee Wei.
So, 3 persons, same batch, started career with the same department in the same company. While Ken Wei and Chee Wei are developing their career as senior software engineer (they are like celebrity engineer in the company I tell you), but I made a switch (after 17 months) to pursue my career interest as system analyst (lucky enough to be offered an opportunity).
But today, we’re bidding farewell to Ken Wei. Not just that, we will also be bidding farewell to Chee Wei on coming Monday. Yes, buddies are leaving, to pursue their career interest at a higher peak. I was kinda sad and at the same time shocked, when I heard about their resignation 3 months ago (ya, our resignation notice is 3 months).
Well, everyone has a dream to pursue. “ALL THE BEST” friends! You both are the gems in the software development industry, will surely do well at higher peak.
After 3 years in the workforce, I’ve set the highest personal OT record yesterday. Went into office at 8am (23 Jun), and left today early morning at 2am (24 Jun), a total of 18 hours. Minus out 2 hours of breakfast, lunch and dinner time, I had a total of 16 productive hours… holy cow… that’s 2 mandays!
Slept for 5 hours, woke up and went into office again at 8am this morning. But I didn’t start work at 8am la hehe.. went down for 1-hour breakfast with Jack, KC and Edwin. And now, 8pm, I’ve just done my work 
I’ve been superbly busy recently. A huge project is coming very close to the first deployment. There are a total of 36 deployments for this project.
So, to my friends whom I’ve ignored your instant messaging chat recently, please bear with me and accept my apology :p
Well, to be frank, my job is actually not as hectic as this. In fact, very much satisfying; it’s my first job since graduation. This is just a temporal surge of work load, due to tight project schedule and the technical complexities involved. Most of the time, things are very well manageable. So, no worry friends, especially my dear bao bei 
Now, I hope there’s an accompany for a decent dinner. But somehow, I think I’ll be ending up eating alone instead.
