Being Me

Being yourself isn't a bed of roses. Trust me.
I experienced first hand at work how being yourself is suffering.

Ability to say no is so crucial at work. Learning to draw a clear line of responsibility is important as well. No one will stand up for you if you make mistakes. Even is a favour for someone.

Work place is a real war arena. You need to fight to survive. Both mentality and physically. I'm still learning how to be a fighter not a lighter. Yes, being nice is good but just being nice is not good enough. I'll continue to fight against the oppression and stand up rather than shut up.

Having supportive and understanding colleagues is a blessing as well. Senior colleagues won't be so relevant to you but those who are as new as you will understand. So I'm still feeling very grateful to have them, especially her to be my side and encourage me when I'm at the edge of giving up. 在家靠父母出外靠朋友。I know what it meant now.

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! ...
