It has been 7 years since I last posted on this blog. A lot has happened since then. Key life events are in the following in order:

1. Got back together with my high school sweetheart.

2. Spent a year in London to pursue a masters in Operational Research at the London School of Economics (LSE). Living in London was my primary aim after spending almost 2 years living in New York City. Made a lot of friends here from all over the world.

3. Returned to Malaysia and started work as a management consultant PwC's KL office. A good learning experience in polishing business presentation skills and how to slice and dice problems. Worked with many great people here. Little politics in this organization as colleagues hardly gossiped and kept things professional (this is a reflection after working in the next company). For once I thought I might want to be like the big bosses (the partners) as an ultimate career goal. It was here also I realised that starting my own company might be interesting and possible. Several fellow junior consultants left after a year or so and decide to open their own companies and be their own bosses.

4. Got married in the middle of a crazy project at PwC! Friends from Uni came all the way to Bintulu. Wished I had more time to spend with them.

5. Joined a government investment fund to serve my bond for the scholarship that funded my masters. After 6 days at managing director's office, I was transferred to HR as the person who hired me had moved there by the time I joined. Spent 2.5 years here managing the HR information system including cleaning up the HR data, managed the company's leave application process, got involved in managing the performance management process.

6. Joined the investment holding company of a local agribusiness conglomerate. Followed the person who hired me at the previous company.
