真的，很快。一眨眼，就过了。

I could not believe it, but I have actually worked for a year. To me, perhaps of all that have happened, the year really zoomed past. Just like that. I guess I have learnt a lot and I hope I have grown up a bit (in terms of IQ and EQ but not in terms of looks… hahaha) after my 1 year of work experience.

The year, though, was a roller-coaster, filled with a lot of self-doubting, a lot of personal assessment and a lot of rebalancing of personal expectations. Lots of people live through those phases in life, don’t they?

What do I want from a job? Besides the obvious, maybe I am looking for something with purpose, be it self-enriching or enriching other people’s lives. But as my parents say, it’s too idealistic, and it doesn’t sound like something I will say, given that I’m a very practical and realistic person. Oh well, people do dream sometimes. And we all know that dreams don’t really happen… I guess I do want to have a purposeful job eventually, but at the moment, I have given up searching that ideal job – there’s nothing perfect and ideal in this world. As long as I can live with it, as long as there is a future with it, as long as it’s tolerable, I guess I should not be picky (at least, in the short term) and jump into any conclusion too fast. Perhaps, it’s all in the mind… Maybe I should always psycho myself… My job is good, my job is good, my job is good… Hahaha…

I am really thankful and fortunate to have met some wonderful people on my journeys, despite the relatively short time. Really really appreciate the support they have provided, both at work and personally. 我想，很多事情是缘分。能与有些曾共事真的是缘分，虽然不能继续当同事，但能维持联络、当朋友也很好，而我非常珍惜这份友谊。

What will I be doing next year? Hmm.. Life has no guarantees and a lot of things can change in a year. Hahhaa… 就留给缘分吧。
