the 21-year-old

Shortly after quitting his old job, through a series of unpredictable events, the 20-year old got married to the Sweet (now) 20-year old. Feeling both joy and uncertainty, due to the fact that he was unemployed, the 20-year old nonetheless persevered and his perseverance paid off.

Shortly after getting married, the 20-year old received a job offer from an investment bank. Realising that the paycheck was RM 3500 a month, the 20-year-old was overjoyed. God had answered his prayers! God had provided a job for him at his most dire time.

However, the job itself was a different story.

Extremely Long Hours, Extremely large workloads and Extremely stressful working conditions. Our young 20 (now 21) year old had to work weekends, public holidays and late nights. On a regular basis. This put stress not just on his relationship with his new wife, but with his relationship with his parents as well.

Eventually, unable to take the heat for much longer, the 21-year-old quit his job, took his last paycheck and set his mind on a much better prospect.
