Comfort Zone...

                                   بِسْمِ ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحْمٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ


people say...
to bring out the best in yourself, you need to get out of your comfort zone
well..lets talk about that..

I just realized that I never talk about my profession in here didnt I?
(as if anyone would want to know aziey oii~~)
sikpa..assume jak perasan byk org baca keh..hewhewhew

okay..it goes like this..since i graduated, i was unemployed for almost 4 months.. 4 months mind you!! 4 bloody months of doing nothing but being a full housewife which not practically a wife yet but doing the jobs that housewife does..yeahh...the cinderella of the house..thats me..hahaha

its not like i dont want to find any job..believe me..i was dying of boredom...and with no pocket money, no where to go and no new books to buy.. *sobs sobs sobs*
it was tragic...trust me... mom never gave pocket money during holiday..never.. you're on your own kiddo..hahaha
the thing is, i did try to apply for jobs in bookstores, restaurants and that kind of places while waiting for the real job to come knocking at my door..(as if it would come knocking without efforts la kan? -_-)
and i did got some offers..especially bookstore..which i was soooooooo estatic and deliriously happy..too bad, during that time, i dont have transport and license at all..
plus, it was almost a few months to my big sis wedding, so they told me to reject the offer, due to:
1. no one can work around your shift work hour
2. dont waste your time doing nothing
3. better use your free time help to prepare and organize the wedding and the hantarans...

well kids, thats the answer i get from ze big bosses...
with no license, what am i suppose to say? :(
i was heartbroken..really..coz one of the bookstore benefit was i get to bring back 2 books to borrow everyday!!! @_@
but then...reality kicks in..oh well

i was being rebellious after that..
sad maaa...bookstore with books..dream job i might say..haha

then, a few months after that, it was my graduation day, 1 month before big sis wedding...
so since everyone else was busy with wedding and classes and schools, only mom accompany me for my graduation this time...

and Subhanallah, on the day of my graduation, i got a phone call..from the company that I applied last time..(the company i'm with now :D)
Since they need me to come for the interview the next few days, I have to tell them that I was not around and asked if the date can be arranged to a different time when I'm back at my hometown. Alhamdulillah they agreed and the new date was decided after I'm back from my graduation.

Nervous? Heck yeah~
Graduation, job interview waiting...and oh, for my graduation, it was known that I would do something random on the camera while on stage..bahahahaahahaa...
my friends, they anticipated it! LOL
well, its not everyday you get to graduate and be silly dont you? :P
did it during my diploma last time..and now, for my degree... i was imagining different kind of silly scenarios in my head...
but in the end, due to the excessive beating of the heart that makes my ribs want to burst (okay, this was overrated /.\), i was only managed to locate where the main camera and smile with peace and waves like an artist after getting their trophies..muahahahhaa.. atleast half the lecturers on stage laugh at me..hahaha
and the best part, it was in the video recorded..but i didnt bought it..tehehee..

okay...Graduating in Bachelor Degree of Computer Science majoring in Multimedia Computing..sounds cool isnt it? (please say its cool.. /.\)
i still have no idea what kind of job i want to do...but since we learned about audio stuff, video and photography stuff, some 3D animation stuff...mostly i think i would end up being an animator (which sounds cool and i do love it!) or something along the production field (and i love it too..working with those audio's and video's and photos)...
the job interview that I got, honestly i dont even know what is the job or the job scope for it.. all i know it was some kind of IS executive thingy...
with no idea what the heck is that, i just went to the interview with tawakkul and Bismillah...

and mind you, that was my very very very first interview ever!(formally i mean)...
i was so nervous...very very nerve-wrecking and usually when i'm that nervous, i'll automatically smile and laugh for no reason to cover up my nervousness..and talk a lot!!! which i think gave out good impression to my boss now as they were saying i have a sunny attitude~ (yeah~ you go aziey! :P)
and Alhamdulillah, i was excepted and expected to work as soon as possible... (happy!!!! xD)

and turns out, I was working as a hardcore programmer! @_@"
i was like...ohh shooot!!!
and whats worse, they were using ancient programming language which i never heard ( i think everyone never heard) or learned at all!
and I was supposed to learn it as I go..
Syukur Alhamdulillah..eventhough all my colleague is chinese, they were very very helpful to me..and during the interview, there were 3 of us.. 1 guy and 1 more girl..turns out both of them have more than 3 years experience..while me, fresh grad.. >.<
and the other girl didnt make it..only me and that guy...
i guess, because for the 1st year,since we were still in contract basis, that guy(chinese as well) was being very very cold to me..even refuse to help me out when i asked him stuff i dont understand.. i was like.. -_- blerrghhh..whatever dude..
hahahhaaa... but then, i guess it was because he sees me as his rival for the permanent spot i guess..which both of us got..and Alhamdulillah, now we are quite close and he even loves to make fun of other people to me..gahh..that sarcastic guy..hahha

this job now, i was very very grateful..
my teammates, all of them were very helpful and they taught me alot..
and the best part,we all love everything that comes to food!hehehe..
especially our boss..she lovesss doing birthday celebration with cakes during our team meeting..
i learnt a lot, i grew up a lot...
there were tough times where i did messed up the database for everyone else (*cringed* i got depressed for 4 days due to that T_T) i dont know if they hate me or not..i hope not..wuhuhuhu..
rushing datelines, meeting customer, getting requirement specs...
sometimes its hard, but i feel comfortable here...
i love my team and my job...especially when my codes works like i want them to! xD
its hard being a hardcore programmer... you can't really decide when you going to finish your task.. one function can have up to 6 testcases to be tested, and not to mention the bugs that might come up from God-knows-where..and to fix it, sometimes need to do trial and error when you cant even locate where and what went wrong with it..but at the end of the day, when it work perfectly..the feeling was *heavenly~~~* BD

so you see, i am in my comfort zone now...
the team, the environment, the job, the tasks...
Alhamdulillah Allah made it easy for me when other part of my life is not always easy..especially dealing with my own blood relatives..but Allah did say, with hardship there will be ease right? :)

okay..thats a very very long rambling i did there...

the point is...
yesterday, one of my friend gave me a link of some jobs in the same field as mine, but in Miri...
under some plantation i think...
i know some of my friends do keep asking me, dont i ever feel like changing my job? Honestly no..coz i am comfortable here..i do..even last time, when that someone asked me to move over to his previous company,i rejected the offer..
now, the thoughts of trying for a new job kind of pricking in my head..
so i think i'll just try it out..see how it goes..the benefit and all..
then maybe...maybe i'll consider it..
coz they say, we need to get out of our comfort zone to grow isnt it?
lets see how this goes...
Insya-Allah, He knows better whats good for me...Amin~
