Went for Company retreat in Bali, and it was sure an experience. Though there were so many workshops and seminars to attend, we had our fair shares of fun and joy too. Understanding how the company has grown over the past 2 years is inspiring and looking at the vision they have set, it feels good to be part of it.
Actively expanding when opportunity arises, from a South-East Asian company to now a Asian company. The prospect that it shows is promising. Will I be riding on the wave with the growth? Many ppl were sceptical about me joining this company and I was one of them initially. But what made me make the decision was that I saw potential in this market and true enough it is growing. Being part of a Big company has it's benefits as there is a structure for you to follow and learn. The problem is that there are too many hieracy to follow, and you can't climb unless the person above you changes. Being part of a smaller company, there're more chances for taking up different roles as everybody is tasked with a secondary task. This allows you to add to your portfolio while learning on the job.
I'm hype up by the prospect of the growth the company is exhibiting. It is always exciting to be part of the winning team.
From the retreat, I've gotten to know more about some of the colleagues and some are really fun going. Play aside, work has to be taken seriously. Obviously, there are those who like to show off and attract attention. Was told by Wendy about the DOPE test, (Dove, Owl, Peacock, Eagle) test. I was observed to be a Owl/Eagle. While one of them was identified as a Peacock, an arrogant bugger who likes to attract attention. Different traits make the team interesting and it's the dynamic structure that brings us together as a team. All along I feel like I'm an Owl or Eagle, depending on the situation. When the need arises, certain traits can surface and dominate. But one thing I never want to be is the Peacock. It gets on ppl's nerve for being showy without substance.

With new task comes bigger responsibility. And honestly, I'm at a loss at times on how to proceed. I'm now entering a totally new dimension, nothing related to what I've been studying. It's a chance for learning, but at the same time I want to be able to do well in it as it may mean pathing my road for many years ahead. Being lost is something I hate, and I need to find the solution to this...
