Expedia Inc.....where do I start. Ohhh right, this is my new job this year. I gave up 3 other offers to join a company I hardly heard of. An industry I have no idea how it works and not to mention giving up sign up bonuses from the other offers. Well I'm too tired setting up shared service, I don't particularly want to get my hands dirty again in the software industry nor am I interested to continue my trait with the airlines for now at least. Expedia seemed to be a better choice.
8 months down the road, it IS the best choice so far. The company is actually full of optimistic leaders, and the best of all my Director is one of the those role model you'll get only in fairy tales. I'm loving my job yet again.....
We had a company offsite back in June for the APAC team, not too keen on the destination as I vowed not to go back due to the 'Land of Thousand Temples' prank pulled by my cabby 8 years ago.

I've been receiving feedback from the people around me on how happy I look lately.....I guessed it must be due to the unnecessary job stress from my previous job. I'm now home most of the time, the company is treating me good, the boss is approachable......I having the best time of my career life. Let's see how this one goes.....the longest I hope......
