A lot of people say that life is like a book. We turn a new page each day- and for each one- a new story is just waiting to unfold. Incredibly (and sometimes unfortunately), it is we alone who are accountable in writing our own stories. Our actions and decisions make up who we are and who we become. The people around us are just other characters who have their own stories as well which happened to intersect with ours. It is really up to us how fast the pace of the story will be or how adventurous and exciting it will become. As I begin a new chapter in my life, I hope that it would be as great (or even better) than the previous ones I’ve had.

On Monday, I’ll start working as a Biscuits Brand Assistant of Monde Nissin Corporation. I’ve always dreamt of working for a local food company but I never expected that I’d make a living out of biscuits… Haha. (Go Eggnog! Go Sumo! Go Sky Flakes! Go Fita! Go Bingo! Go Bread Stix!  Go Nissin Wafer! Go Voice! Biscuit Biscuit kayo diyan…) Nonetheless, personally, I’m very much thankful that I’ve been chosen for the job.

However, honestly, I have lots of qualms about work per se. Perhaps it’s just the fear of the unknown that makes me feel this way; Or maybe the thought of starting from scratch and going back to square one makes me think that I do have to start things all over again with people who I barely know. Haha.  I do feel like a 12-year old entering high school – excited yet frightened. New faces. New people. New tasks. New everything.

Yet, unlike entering high school, nobody knows what the next step is after the first job. There’s no more sure next step. What lies beyond is dependent upon one’s performance/satisfaction.

Whew! I still do have lots of things which I’d like to share but apparently, I couldn’t (or else I might face a very uncomfortable situation). One thing’s for sure though as I’ll be crossing this new threshold – there’s no way for me to go but forward. Haha.
