I will be graduating in a week and officially completed my Mechanical Engineering (B.Eng) Hons degree. I have applied for a work placement with Innocent drinks as a Short Term Digital Assistant.
Due to some organizational change, the position isn’t available anymore. None of the candidates applied got the job. However, they were kind to call me and let me know about the interview feedback.
They said it was a great opportunity to me in person and I did well during the interview. “Impressive” and they wish me best of luck with the future undertakings.
During the interview, they asked me about my future plan. And I told them, I am looking forward to join PETRONAS Corporate Affairs and External Communications (Branding).
Hope is high. Very high.
Hope is what keep us going. One fades, another comes. It is a big dream and a high hope to join PETRONAS. More than a childhood dream, I take is an honour to serve the nation.
And part of it is a life plan. Family, love ones, friends and people around you that put such a high expectation. I believe everyone is just as nervous as I am, it is a human reaction towards uncertainty.
Sometimes we think too much about failure that we forget that we did well. Sometimes the opposite. But we still hoping for the best to come out of it.
Once I talked to my mom, she told me that whatever it is. I just have to accept it. I did my best and know just have faith. Sometimes, it is just a matter of waiting for the right moment. Later, my girlfriend told me to be positive cause worrying too much would never get me anywhere.
Maybe it’s the tiredness of moving and packing that made me feel this way. Maybe the empty stomach? Maybe a lot of things undone? Each of these may add up to the pressure. Oh, this is life!
Take a step back
So, I will take a step back now. Over a cup of coffee, I will put down the pieces on board and be in control of everything. “Play to win”, that what I was told by my friend Zulhilmi years back (when we used to play chess together). While I sleep tonight, I know that it is totally a different cuppa tea when you enter the new chapter of life.
