New job @ NNRK

I guess as what the title states, this is my recently update. I have left InterContinental Hong Kong and moved on to NNRK. Some people has said this was a crazy move, as ICHK should have offered me lots more than this new job. The answer to this is yes and no, it offered me the knowledge and skills about this industry, at least I would know what a luxury hotel brand expects. Just hope one day I would go back to a five star property, but in the meantime, I will learn and train myself at NNRK, it is going to be challenging , I guess after this opening experiences, I would gain more for myself. Afterall I am pleased to have this new move, although it is very tiring at this moment, things should be much better in a later stage.

The grand opening ceremony was on last Friday, May 9, 2008. It was some kind of ceremony and party that night, really busy but I had fun as well. During the day time, I went out with the media group for a day trip in HK, obviously my heart was left in the office and think about the different work load that I had. On the other hand, it was great fun, I have experienced something that I never tried before, i.e. Dolphin watch in HK, visiting the bird market. It is a valuable experience and I guess it is good for me to have a day out just to relax, afterall it was a stress month for me. 

The moment that I have decided to take this job, I have decided to step up on the plate and take up the challenges. I hope things are going to be fine and we as a team can work better and closer together. May my worst nightmare will never happen.......

Finally....

There are quite a few things happening around me for the past year and quite a lot of them are bad things, however I think its my time to change my luck now. I have finally got what I have always hoping and dreaming for, I'm leaving the company to another cool IHG hotel!!!! Technically speaking, this is my first time to change job, as previously my main reason to change another job is because I need to relocate. First time to hand in resignation letter, that felt funny. With all my previous job, I never had to hand in a resignation letter, I guess that is because it is a part time job and not a full time proper job.

Anyways, it's good that I have made up my mind to quit my current job, even risking the fact that I might not have my bonus. I know some had asked me is it worth doing that? However, this is how I look at it, it is my long term career prospect, not just for that short time monetary benefit, which then I strongly believe my decision was right.

And after all the different things been happening for just the past week, this hasn't changed my mind or having any doubt about my resignation, but just put myself into a firm believe - it is time to move on. What I can say is, things doesn't happen just in a week, it built up from varies issues which then trigger to my decision. I just had this thought today - my company never really values me as their employee and no matter how hard you try, that doesn't mean you will get the same reward. The reality has smashed into my face, which I had lost faith in the company.

I think all I can say is ENOUGH!! I had enough with different things and the only way that I won't be upset about it is to move on. Relationship between people is always complicated stuff and I have been saying this since when I was still young, I think now I have understand and learn the complexity of it.

All I can do is hope for the best and wish everything will work out better in my new job. I will miss my colleague, as individuals, they are great people, however...... Anyways, enough.......
