Technology Park Malaysia, Bukit Jalil
I have been stucked in this place for more than 5 years now. Travelling to and fro, thrice a week to college for about a year plus and after that started working in the same company for more than 3 years plus now! Well, i sometimes think to myself, is it time to move on?
Before i go into that, let me tell you more about TPM (Technology Park Malaysia) It is actually quite a big place with 3 exits, which normally only the 1 main exit and 1 main entrance is open during night time. Parking is also a problem, since Malaysian are always pampered with near parking lots, however if you work late at night in TPM I would suggest you drive your car over to your company’s building. Else don’t work too late! Bring your work back home to do! Hehe…cos work can never finish!! I need to sometimes remind myself of that. Because when the sky is dark, things get really quiet with building spread apart, can feel quite scary at times…~~oooo~~~….and with all the trees and jungle around, and little lightings you can never really see if there’s anyone hiding in the woods.
That is why, this place, shall the name be changed to “Eco Park Malaysia, or Eco-Friendly Park Malaysia?, or maybe Botanical Park Malaysia?” It shouldn’t be called Technology Park, because things seems to be slow, no good parking systems, no cctv’s not like Sun Tech City, Singapore, i think you can’t run away if you did something against the law in Singapore.
Just today, I got quite frustrated with the system, because I think someone reported for a lost, the whole main-roundabout in TPM was filled with cars at almost 9pm! Then after being stuck for 15mins, I got to know that it was the guards that was checking every single car that was going out of TPM, asking to open the boot of each car! and it is not like they check in detail, just an action, they barely see what’s in the boot! and damn, they did not close my Vios boot properly! Security is not tight here, they should have at least cctv’s around to monitor each office building they have! And in 3 years the ladies toilet was stucked a few times, the ceiling was leaking when it’s raining! Wow, that’s Technology Park Malaysia! (sorry can’t help but be sarcastic) Finally after 30mins i’m outta there on a Friday nite! Manage to only reach home at 9.30pm, as on the way was all the way smooth ride.
This whole week, I’ve been encountering with quite alot of jams..probably because I was in KL for 2 days and its the rainy season.
Back to my earlier ponder, after 3.5 years, being my first job, should I be moving on? I find myself being stagnant for at least 6 months now…and recently got back my fire, fighting spirit, aggressiveness to move forward for the company. Probably because of the 2 days training I attended early this week. I felt stagnant after my new boss came in, when I no longer report direct to my CEO. He is around for a year now, together with my other staff. Off course, I have develop my staff together with my boss. So what do you think? Is 3.5 years enough to be stuck in the same industry? Shall I broaden my horizon and venture into something new, something more interesting, which uses more energy, moving around, while i’m still below 30, before i settle down to start my own family. I think I should give myself another 6 months to try to work things out within myself and seek for more opportunities! Taking more initiatives and making things happen, instead of watch things happen, as I read from one of the Malaysian Internet Business blogger rickysoo.com
