I'm a simple man! I am so easily contented! Just a few good words from my boss and it actually made my day? YES!

Its pretty funny isn't it? Just when you decide that this job is not meant for you and you probably have made up your mind to leave, you suddenly find yourselves more and more attached to the job. Especially just this 1 week when i finally not have to go to school anymore and things are just happening?

Actually, if not for my studies commitment, i probably would have started to love my job already. Its pretty fun to mingle with youths! I call them kids lah. Its especially so when the rapport is coming up and they start to want to look for you! At the Vivocity Charity Gala Night, i had my fun just going from 1 group to another to mingle and interact with them and checking out where all my breakdancers are!

Its fated. I am no Programme Coordinator. Why? Because if you ask me to return to this job after i graduate, i won't. I will probably be looking for greener pastures. I can't stay on because i know myself. The job is too taxing on me, the commitment too big. Imagine every single activities in RoundBox under my care (not to mention ad-hoc programmes?)! Now theres only 3. When there are more, how do i cope?

I am starting to learn my boss style of working. And i am slowly understanding and believing in the way she thinks, as a boss, i think she knows what she wants for her centre, and she wants it! I know where she is coming from. So for understanding her, and understanding myself, i believe we better not work together. Her expectation and mine mental capability when school starts WILL not match! And from the organisation's and her point of view, if i can't commit, then i should be fair to the centre, i should go!

It's sad isn't it? Just when i started to like my work, just when i started to rapport with my youths, just when i forge some close relationships with my colleagues, just when i'm starting to understand and accept the boss and vice versa, i have to go.

PS. I spoke to a very passionate man about Boxing today. I probably won't see the programme kicked off at RoundBox. =(
