23.07.2010 | 黃金十年

仲記得2000年7月24日係我入行第一日, 今日足足喺呢一行打滾滿10年(!!)喇.. 果真係不經不覺, 醒起都一額汗~~

其實冇諗過自己會做IT呢行, 中學畢業有打算讀建筑設計, 唔記得後來點解跟咗班同學去讀電子工程, 拎到張沙紙之後又無端端應徵做programmer.. 嗰一日開始由低做起, 一做就係10年, 當中甜酸苦辣, 高低起伏, 百般滋味.. 10年一關口, 我唔覺自己有咩成就, 再5年再10年, 我又會何去何從呢??


i still remember it was 24th July 2000 when i started working in this industry, and today marks precisely a full 10-year (!!) i have been working in this line.. it certainly is something easily slipped off your mind, but a shock whenever you realised..

i never have thought i would end up in IT.. i actually kind of wanted to go for architecture in high school, but due to can't-remember-what reason i followed a gang of mates to pursue electronic engineering, and finally got hired as a programmer.. since then i started from the entry level, experience through combinations of ups & downs and likes & hatred over the past decade.. if 10 years is a milestone, i don't think i have any great achievement, given another 5 years and then 10 years, i ask where will i be then??

  5. If I could start all over again, I would have pursued something else than what I am currently doing. Being passionate about something is really important.

    ReplyDelete
  33. @ Tekkaus:
    errr, yeah, i was a programmer but not really one now.. hehe, java and javascript are different, i'm only good at javascript but not java.. :)

    @ khengsiong:
    係啊, 建築設計我係指architecture啊.. 因為要讀好多年, 讀唔起所以放棄囉.. 我其實係個毫無生意頭腦嘅人, 冇咩所謂嘅business plan喎, 唔通你有個good idea想同人合作?? :)

    ReplyDelete
  34. @ Mei Teng:
    yeah, i haven't really think about what i would like to pursue if given the chance to start all over again.. so, you are not totally happy with what you are doing right now?? i agree with you, passion is very important in doing everything.. :)

    @ Caroline Ng May Ling:
    hehe, actually those scripts things can be learned fairly conveniently though internet examples one.. just that you never tried.. :)

    ReplyDelete
  35. @ Kelvin:
    haha, ten years later will be my 黃金十年, that means you have not even started anything?? hmmm, that's why, i can't find any achievements!!

    @ -KeO-:
    其實也還不知道自己要的是甚麼, 其實也很難找到一份dream job又可以在各方面平衡的喇.. 小生意, 有想過, 不過還是覺得自己替人打工好, 因為自己沒甚麼生意頭腦..

  36. @ 海市蜃樓:
    唉, 你咁快就一桶冷水兜頭淋落嚟架?? 其實都未必係工字冇出頭嘅, 要睇自己點樣運籌帷幄唧, 啱唔啱?? :)

    @ manglish:
    yeah, 10 years already.. but i guess you have more years of working experience than me right?? kekeke :p

    ReplyDelete
  37. @ yc lee:

    ReplyDelete
  38. @ mNhL:
    yeah, already 10 years and it just like in a wink of eye.. i guess you are right, it's all my destiny and fate that i didn't follow what i really wanted to do.. but lucky is that, at least i don't hate and no regret with what i am doing now.. :)

    @ 古克石屋:
    其實做了那麼久, 真的會覺得累的, 大概這10年就是來到一個交叉點吧??

    ReplyDelete
  39. @ Pete:
    haha, luckily it's a saturday on this 10th anniversary day, no need to work!! :p

    @ smallkucing:
    well, i guess i have no choice since this is my industry.. what else could i do if not IT, i sometimes ask..

    @ wenn:
    yeah, so i guess this is my industry and i cannot go anywhere far.. :)

  40. @ 单身汉:
    廿多年, 怎麼會兩手空空呢?? 你要求高吧?? 就算兩手空空, 腦子肯定是塞滿知識的.. :)

    @ 发白日梦^^:
    唉, 慶祝?? 如果10週年我可以退休了, 那才叫做值得慶祝吧?? 問題是, 還有很多個10年哩~~ :p

  41. @ Bananazஇ:
    errr, no lah, it's 10 years in this industry but not in the same company.. oh come on, how to stay in the same company for 10 years?? hahaha.. IT is a fast changing field, rarely have someone who will stay more than 10 years in the same company i think.. yeah, i'm wondering, how many more 10 years are there still for me to struggle??

    @ HappySurfer:
    errr, nope really, because i don't think i have made myself any good achievement.. in fact, i would say this 10 year milestone is actually more than a crossroad.. thanks for liking it, i've actually been choosing a new theme for the layout for quite some time last night.. :)

    ReplyDelete
  42. @ Ghosty Nana:
    yeah, it's already a decade, but it's like happening within just a wink.. hooh, a little scary~~

    @ edward:
    真係十年人事幾番新啊, 10年內所經歷嘅高低起伏, 其實都足夠寫一本書啩?? 咁我當然係個樂觀嘅人, 都係展望未來, 希望明天會更好幾嘅, 呢樣嘢, 做咗10年多多少少都學到啲嘅.. 牢騷, 其實我覺得自己好少發牢騷架喎, 我基本上係個非常專業嘅員工嚟架.. 請到我真係三生有幸架~~ 哈哈!!

  43. @ Sam Wong:
    haha, maybe you have not start working yet so you will not know how looooooooooooong it is being 10 years in the "batterfield".. yeah, of course we wouldn't know what's going to happen in the future, but i really hope for the best.. be optimistic and happy right?? :)

  45. @ Grass:
    hahaha, but it's not easy to run your own business too.. furthermore i think i'm not enterpreneur enough to own my business.. but quite interested to know his business plan though~~ :p

    @ victor:
    yeah, it's already 10 years!! quite scary yeah?? well, i guess you are right, don't think i will deviate far from this industry, as this is the area i'm more comfortable and familiar with.. unless i really can put down everything and desperately asking for a change, but nope it's too risky.. thanks anyway, yeah, same to you, hope we'll all be successful wherever we are.. :)

  55. @ JC:
    出人頭地?? 你講緊邊個啊?? 我咪同你一樣, 得個吉, 何來出人頭地啊?? 如果我出人頭地, 今時今日都已經遠走高飛啦~~ 呵呵!!

    @ eugene:
    是不怕再20年, 問題是: 現在的我開心嗎??

    @ Ashley:
    對囉, 其實我問自己, 如果有一天我不做IT還可以做些甚麼?? 自己又沒有生意頭腦, IT說專業又不是, 就是半桶水騙吃那種, 很難可以頂天立地的.. 唉, 還是老本行比較安全喇..
