A Dream

"It is our dream & wish that you all move forward in your career in the new environment with CONFIDENCE. Pls take this as an opportunity to progress and continue learning. In this critical moments we hope you to keep spirit high, enjoy the challenges, be united, be focus and NEVER forget to PRAY to ALLAH to ensure what we do are with the BLESS from ALLAH."

I've never thought I'd be quoting my boss in this blog but this mail he sent to us yesterday really marked a new beginning for me at least. It is confirmed, Am will be transfered to MTBE to head iPerintis operations over there. I guess the boss had been mulling over this issue for weeks and yesterday he made the decision to push forward with it. The transfer was approved within a few hours and Am will be heading down south in I guess a couple of weeks, maybe less.

I guess it is good for Am to be in that new capacity but I will definitely feel a loss. Dah lah kat sini memang tak cukup orang and personally, I think we need as many experienced people as possible to keep this place intact or stabilised. But the management as decided and there's not much I can do or say to stop it. As the boss said, it's going to be challenging and Wan even remarked that I'll be the one facing the most challenges. Mostly new people will be coming on board in the next few weeks and there's a lot to be done to improve things over here. I suppose I have to be a good XO to the boss since I'm the most senior executive here after him. I don't covet any position just as long I can perform and do something I like. My passion still remains but it sure is daunting to take over Am's responsibilities because I've never been much exposed to the things he's doing now. So with him gone, I have to assume that role.

Whatever it is, I can only pray to Allah for strength, support from my family and friends and hopefully a lot of patience and resolve.
