The past few months has been particularly tough on me. Few of those who know what really happened..Anyway, it has been really heavy of my workload on November. Generally, 2 seniors left my company and so my boss told me, it will be a very good opportunity for me to learn. Put it simple, he pushed me up to take many of the responsibilities and I had finally started a complete phase of how to manage a project in the field of control. Hopefully I will start manage my own one soon.
I got to be honest, I was not sure whether I will like this job when I first got the job a year ago but now I can be sure of myself that I really do like this job-Programming and electrical design.
Have to emphasis this again, since Qian Fang is going back, it means my best friend is leaving UK for good. It will be a very good new starting point for him and it makes me wonder, could I do what he's doing, leave UK just like that and start a new life away from UK. Possibly not. Too many things that I have to consider before I could do what I wanted to do...So the only option left for me is to extend my visa, gain another of experience in England (ONLY a year at maximum which I am hoping for) before I am allowed to leave. Sigh...
One of the best thing that I did in November was skydiving! Jumping off an aeroplane at more than 12, 000 ft in the sky. It was indeed a fantastic experience. Although it was a tandem but as a first timer it was still a great one. It ain't cheap however.
Nervous of course before taking off the ground. Very nervous of course before jumping off the plane and definitely driving out lots of adrenaline at the point when I just jumped off. I was the first out of 4 group to jump in that little plane. Did a few somersault turns in the air, experienced about 50 seconds free fall and voila, the parachute was released! I suspect it must be scary for those first time participants (Neow & Steven) who saw me jumped off the plane like that. Anyhow it got windy and I was drifted far away from my actual path to the ground. Halfway falling down, I can see them (Neow & Steven and another guy) going down quite near to each other relatively but I was so far away from them. I ended up landed in a farm somewhere. It landed quite far away from where I was suppose to land. Not just that, because of the "Don't-Know-What" Factor (as explained by my instructor) I was also spinning and twisting around where the parachute act like a centre of gravity. Lol. Anyway, it was good fun.
Will I do it again? Yes, definitely I will if someone pay for it! =P But I actually fancy a bungee jump next!
