Just me ...

Someone told me this week that it is normal for guys to keep feelings into themselves. That’s when I told her that she needn’t worry about me bothering her with languid stories of the turnings & turbulence in life.

And I thought again … because not too long ago, I would have loved to just talk things out to see what others thought or viewed the scenario. Then again, those were normal times when I was just a greenhorn in the workplace like everyone else.

But now, since my industry is so different from my friends, and not everyone is at a management level, I’ve found it hard for anyone to understand what my issues are. No one really understands.

So perhaps I’ve changed, and the cause is more of circumstance, rather than of my true character.

And oh, a little about work … when I left Marcus Evans, everything was kept in the dark about my change of mind to join the Asia Business Forum instead of HP in Singapore. Reason is, I was too passionate about the potential of this industry, where I’ve picked up skills & having potential to do a lot here. But of course the question people have asked me is … why leaving a big player for one smaller one?

For several reasons, which I shall explain in the future. But more importantly, the offer came at a right time, right (& unexpected turn of) circumstances and mostly, right people ....

And for this moment, just to dispel that the ABF is a small player ... happy to inform most people that we’ve just been acquired by the monolith, Euromoney group … so check out the articles in Daily Mail & the Edge. So, with the huge backing & opening of rich resources, my move’s vindicated that things are in the right direction.

And the opportunities are endless. So, need to work hard to put things in the right place.
