Blame it on the Japanese

I know I have not been updating as much as I used to. Don't blame me. Let me tell you my side of the story.

Initially, after Deepavali, I was rotting in Melaka until the end of December. So I had nothing much to update on. Then on the 17th of December, I went for an interview to this Japanese company, MW and I was immediately offered a job there as a Procurement Engineer and was told to report for work the following week itself.

As all my stuffs were still stranded in my Sunway room, that weekend itself I had to rush to Sunway and pack all the things that I have been accumulating for the past 6years, throw them in whatever bags I can find, and bring them back to Melaka.

With such short notice, I didn't even manage to meet up with most of my friends there :-(

On the 22nd of December 2009, I reported for work and since that very day, I barely have time for myself.

My 'official' working hours are from 7.30am to 6.30pm except for Mondays and Wednesdays. I exempted this two days not because I get to go to work like most of the others do at 8am but on this two days, I must be at work by 6.30am.

BLODDY 6.30am!!! Get there for early morning meeting where the managing director will shout at everyone. Then we exercise in front of the company with employees from other companies looking and thinking, "what are those retards up to?"

And I usually come back from work after 8pm. In my appointment letter, it was clearly stated that I should work no more than 72 hours a week. Wonder if I can sue them.

By the time I get back from work, I will be totally exhausted. I only have time to take bath, eat , rest for bout an hour before I hit the bed at around 11pm. As a result i even gained some weight due to lack of exercise and sleeping straight after meal.

And to make matters worst, my current job description has got nothing to do with what have studied. People have already advised me to leave the company as soon as possible so that I won't forget my engineering stuffs.

And I took up their advise and started to look for a new job. And thank god I was called for an interview for this German company MU.

After 3 interviews within the company, I was offered the position of assembly engineer.

Well at least now my working hours are from 8.30am to 6.30pm unlike 6.30am to 6.30pm.

And I have also joined my new colleagues for futsal sessions as well. The best part, it was sponsored by the company.

Hopefully, I can get more time for myself and to update my blog more often.

Wish me luck on my new job.

Bye Bye Japan, Hello Germany..
