Yeah, big plans for my life (which of cause include my family) and for my current department. For my family of cause it’s regarding upgrading our standard of living. Nothing else. Well for all these years, I’ve worked for my family (everybody does I guess) and will try my best to provide comfort, security and good educations for my children.
And for my current department, I have few plans that need to be put on paper first as I believe only in that way ppl will recognize and understand what I am trying to do. Definitely at least IF I moved away from the current company, perhaps I’ve done few good things to improve the quality of services and perhaps the process as well. I owe my current company a lot (in sense of knowledge, skills, experiences and many others) and that’s why I do feel that sometimes I didn’t give back enuff.
Hopefully my plans will be materialized

That’s the thing that keeps on playing in my mind since I’ve been contacted by one of my former colleagues. After all these years I still feel grateful and blessed for the things and events that happened in my life. When I joined my current company as a security analyst, there were plenty of questions and goals that I’ve asked myself. For a start I just look into the internet to learn about the job description (apart the ones stated in my offer letter), the required skills and knowledge plus the responsibilities. From there I started to improve and acquiring the necessary skills and knowledge in order to perform my security analysts tasks. But as I was stationed at The Client site, the one obvious thing that I lacking is the resources to perform my own RnD, simulations and other things even though there are plenty learning materials in order to enhance my knowledge, skills and capability.
Out of frustration, I started having my own lappy – thanks to wifey anyway (cheap but u dun have any idea how many things that I’ve learned from using this ol friend) and coupled with vmware, I proceed with my own education. Of cause, I started to improving my soft skills area especially when dealing with clients (day to day interaction maaa) and perform some minor in house training as well. And when transfered to the HQ, I’ve been presented with plenty of time to continuing my education (to be honest, one of the best aspects of working here is the learning environment which encouraged by our Bosses planned knowledge sharing session, technical write ups, etc and yeah, we do have K-Based workers here
)
From working shifts, I’ve been upgraded to have normal working hours (and yeah I’ve been promoted to be Senior Security Analyst as well and that happened when I started my 1st day at the HQ) and now I’ve been given tasks that initially I thought not suitable for me but then after consultation with wifey and long self review hours, I started to accept this transition as well.
My Goal? First of all I want myself to be an asset to my company instead of liability. Secondly to show them that I am worth more than what they are paying me now and I have to substantiate that claim with the knowledge, skills, capability and improvement that I have made since I joined the company 4 years ago. How? By executing the tasks (related task ok? Installing NMS is not in the tasks) bestowed upon me professionally
One more thing, I think I can call myself an undergraduate of the University of Google
Let see what is the future has in store for me and I’m looking forward for it (or moving forward? ;P)
