First Post in 2008!

Well it is! Believe it or not. I was too busy to do else than work, browsing, and replying to emails.

Work is just hectic on this new year with one person down (the team assistant, due to giving birth), a lot of sites to be designed, upgrades, documentation, BOQs, and batches of survey.

The coordination can be said as exhausting. Lampung, Jakarta, and Palembang, even my Yahoo! can't stand the load and keep displaying "unusual activity detected, account is suspended for 48 hours". I have to open another "service door" at gmail.

I am leaving this project, it's 80% sure, with or without securing another job first.
My commitment is to finish phase 2 since I have been here since it's started. Now? it's commercially launched already.

I realized, when it is your first job, you always think whether other jobs outside is as good as it is.
This is also my concern, and to continue my study will be my first priority after this.
With minimum PBT TOEFL at 580 (NUS as standard), I really feel not too confident. Even more with IBT since speaking and writing skill are involved.

Well, steps have to be taken, and quitting the job is the first.

Oh, on the verge of this new year, I'm quite surprised that I've picked the number 1 of the best books of 2007 (Amazon's version): A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini on my last way back to Palembang. It's just me picked the best book... wow....although I've read it and not feel too astonished. The characters are good, and the plot is good also... but not WOW(but again, it's just me).
