A working young adult life

It has been more than two weeks by now. Finally I have my weekend all by myself without work, including today, A Friday. I  worked straight for two weekends since I started this job.

Meeting new people, learning new knowledge, seeing the reality of a workplace and taking up new responsibilities. These are the few things I'm currently going through. The hardest parts by far would be staying positive and  remembering every details that have been said to me. Get scolded and criticised by boss is ain't a thing I expected,  I mean not so soon. Since I a newbie, I have no clue at almost everything yet she expects so much from me. For sure I would screw up when there's no guidance on what I am assigned to do. Not joking, is harder than I thought it would be. I teared at work. But no one knows. Lucky me sitting at the most lonely space in the office.

Praise God, I have His grace and mercy everyday to keep pushing on. Whenever a challenge comes, I breath in and out to calm myself and then I pray for God's strength to hold on my anxiety and tears. It does make a different. Especially for me as a very emotional person.

I read an article on the night before my first day of work, it says always remember why did you take up this job offer when you feel like giving up. I find this trick very useful. It holds all the anger and frustration together so you won't let go your initial reasons.

Being separated

Ney went to Hong Kong for business trip from today onwards for a week. I have forgotten how hard it is to be separated again. I thought I have overcame this separation anxiety from the past practices, but apparently I am wrong, so very wrong. This choked feeling from holding back my tears have been in my stomach since I woke up this morning. All these worries of the plane might go missing or crash or kidnapped or probably go into another dimension and appears again 20 years later keep running in my mind. I know I am stupid to think like this, but I could not help myself. i miss him really really much. i can't imagine life without him, yes, i am way too glued to him, this must be what they called love. okay, enough of that, i just need a space to release all these not so good energy since i feel better after writing it out. Oh, guess what, I handed in my very 1st resignation letter today. It felt right and free, I felt a huge burden has been lifted up from my shoulder. I believe the...

Short Getaway to Batam, Indonesia

Image
Every trip that we had, is always a much needed break from work. I don't know how people could work without without taking leave. I strongly believe taking breaks are healthy for all working adults. For it to be staying at home or going out of town for a good meal. It keeps you sane and help putting life into perspective. It allows you to think that work is necessary but what's more than life has to offer besides career. On our breaks, we get to just chill and talk about things.  This is our first time visiting Batam, Indonesia. It is a very popular short getaway place for Singaporeans because it is so near!  So popular that everything is expensive (in hotels), but it is still very cheap in the city.  We stayed at the Turi Beach Resort ( http://www.agoda.com/en-sg/turi-beach-resort/hotel/batam-island-id.html ), and I think it is a really good choice.  Selfie before departure, so happy that we are sitting here rather than in front of work desk! ...

When it happens and after that

I've stepped into my 6th week of post-surgery, I'm feeling much better now. I look perfectly fine from the outside (as usual) with some help from cosmetics. Let's talk about the week when my operation was conducted. This experience is something I want to remember. It is the biggest surgery our family had to go through together. It wasn't an easy experience, so many decisions had to be made in a short period of time. My problem happens on the mitral valve, it wasn't closing as it should have because of the previous vegetation had loosen it and had left a hole unto the valve. This had caused the oxidized blood to leak back to the heart. If left untreated, I would have a heart failure.   So, my surgery was arranged on the 13th of November, 7 am. I was the first case for the surgeon, Dr Pau. I couldn't sleep well the night before, my thought was I will be sleeping the whole day the next day, what is sleep now. Most of the nights leading to the surgery, I was...
