1st November 2007: It's a start of something new

 Things doesn't always happens the way I expected to be, always has... and now it's time for me to move on - 1st November 2007 marks the calendar where I joined a new 3G player in town - U Mobile Sdn Bhd, as a network security engineer supporting Umobile's IP infrastructure.

I was glad for this move. Actually this movement is planned 3 months back - yes, that's the period of notice I have to give to XYBASE should if I decided to tender my resignation. Everything happens for a reason - incompatibility.

If you are a headhunter you might say "as expected from a typical fresh graduate". Part of this statement is true, but it's not entirely accurate.

I love programming, i love scripting, I know I'm good into that - but that's just not me.

As early as 8 years old when I first grab my personal computer - it's always about hardware and systems. I happens to fall in love with codes only a few years back ( in which I would like to emphasize that I am quite-pretty-good at).

 I practically can do everything. Although it's something new, somehow I knew I have the gist to figure out my way around, and so with coding. But leading my career as a software engineer is just so not me - I guess I'm the "hardware guy". 

 Back to U Mobile. I was really glad that the hiring manager promises me to get to the network engineering team, although I am not qualified for that position due to my less-than-a-year-experience level, but after about one and a half hour of interview, I was successfully trasferred from IT support (fresh grad department) towards network infrastructure team (a no-no department for a fresh graduates).

Sadly, I have to reject another so-good-to-be-true offer from an SI that provides IT solutions for Petronas (a very popular company  with high reputation , you should know it =) ) on my 3rd day in Umobile. I don't know, somehow I don't feel good to immediately tender my resignation, it was as if my heart told me - "this is the right place, don't leave just yet!"

We'll see about that. I really hope to have a good long relationship with this company =)
