Have you ever wondered what if you'd "do" something and it would change your life forever? I personally think a lot of people are scared to change certain things in their life. Some people keep working for the same job for years and years that they don't want to change their job because they think they would not find any better job than the job they've got. I didn't exactly think like that when I quit my job last May. I actually liked my old company, cos of my great colleagues, work atmosphere, company benefits and its location hehe My last position there was quite a tough job. I was the only one who took care of everything and sometimes it made me wonder if I would be able to take more than a few days off. My passion to travel is more than I could resist. I decided to quit my job to travel for at least 3 months and perhaps move to Europe.That was I thought. I didn't think it through. That was everyone said.I got rejected on my visa application for the first time in my life just because I didn't have a job when applying for a visa. The embassy staff said, " It doesn't matter how much money you've got in your bank account, it would run out one day." Apparently, they were right. I did enjoy my whole 5 months off with no work actually. I could do whatever I wanted, go where I wanted to. It felt so great to be able to join my friends who were traveling around Thailand at that time. I had become a backpacker in my own country for a very first time. We went to Chiangmai and Pai for almost 3 months. It was fantastic that I could go trekking in the jungle and stayed over night at Karen village. Then, I joined some other friends to their trip in Phuket which was still not my favourite place to go! I'd probably enjoy most of my 2 weeks time in Singapore. I had never thought that I'd be able to go see the real FORMULA 1! I always see it on TV and to see it up close and personal is an amazing experience especially when I got to see Lewis Hamilton and Mika Häkkinen with all the press and partied with other world racers at the Johnnie Walker's "The Amber Lounge"! [i got to shake hand with Nico Rosberg too OMG you would not believe how hot he is!!]

All of this would never happen if I had not got support from you guys! I hope you still remember when I wrote you and asked if you guys could sign "Join the pact" for never drink and drive =) Well we won, we collected the most signatures!! Thanks again ♥♥Anyway, I eventually felt that life has become too slow and dull. I had not done anything much but sleep, eat, traveling, and partying and of course the fact that money was running out. So I started to look for a job again.I actually got a few job offers which are.................* a head of purchaser at a well-known sport shoe company which would required me to travel aboard 4 times a year to pick new shoes collections. to get this job, i had 2 options; A) I could earn 50,000 Baht/ month which I have to give a person who'd get me the job 10,000 Baht every month for the first year and 5,000 Baht every month for the 2nd year. OR I could get the initial salary 40,000 Baht but there's no guarantee whether or not I'd get any raise while with the option A I would earn 45,000 Baht. So do you think I should regret for not taking this job? * a PA to a CEO at a well-known water-sport clothing brand from California. The only thing that seemed to be a problem to me was that the office location was a bit far from where I live. I would definitely have taken a job if I had not got another job offer in Samui. This is actually a job that I felt like I should not have rejected it [but I did] cos I'd get to learn a lot of things from the CEO.I still feel really regret about it until today.* a PR Marketing job for a lifestyle magazine. I told them that I would have to be in Samui for at least one month as a freelance and I'd come back to work for them. I've been told that I would do great as a PR Marketing person. So I really appreciated the fact that they would wait for me. * a sale job in Koh Samui. This is a job that made me move to Samui, at least for 2 months. I decided to take this job because it would be nice working on the island where you can go to the beach whenever you want. It was not exactly as I thought it was. I moved at the wrong time! Stupid rainy season! Basically, it made me feel so depressed for the first whole months that it's been raining non-stop and made me feel, "why did I move there in the first place?" I didn't get to see the beach til December where my friends from Bangkok came to visit me there. We had so much fun that they made me miss Bangkok terribly. Then, I realized I would probably not be a very good sale person, I was a Bangkok city girl! I had to move back! I felt great again after my resignation. I could enjoy the beach as much as I wanted cos the weather got better. So in my opinion, I think Koh Samui is a good place for relaxation, and definitely not a place FOR ME to live as I'd still love the city BUSY life with great friends and awesome parties!

I had met a lot of fantastic people and made friends with them there. It's another life experience that taught me that I am a beach person but I am not an islander.You can live anywhere in the world but loneliness would still come after you from time to time, if you have not got any great friends beside you. I have never been so happy to be back in Bangkok! My friends are so happy to see me again. I've got very tanned and I hate it lol Being back in Bangkok meant that I had to look for a new job again. I remember that I told one magazine that offered me a job to wait so I contacted them back. It turned out during this economic situation, they had to give up my position and look for a new vacancy for a sale person who just left company. Of course I went to talk to the guy but I just didn't think I'd like a sale job that much so I had to say no to him. What a shame!! Now what? I was lost with no job waiting. Searching for the right job is like finding a needle in the ocean.
