Exactly one year ago, I joined Hewitt Associates.

Today, I woke up religiously to my daily routine of traveling down Science Park, entering into the familiar domain of my messy yet comfortable desk. As of 15 Aug 2008, I have surpassed my first year of hardship and toils of arguably my first permanent employment. Hence, I shall congratulate this special 1 year anniversary to myself and to the organization for its ability to retain talented individuals. Although 1 year is not entirely long, put it in relative perspective, at least 8 out of my 10 colleagues I worked with previously – have left.

Apart from the unhealthy statistics, I have thoroughly enjoyed and experienced a great deal at my work. Well, I guess looking back, the opportunity to work in this organization has developed me in a way that I think I have been privileged. (no pun intended)

Looking ahead now
