30th May 2018: Helping Daddy

By Posted on
Work was productive. Very productive. Still have quite a lot of things left undone which I will continue tomorrow.

A client came over today and started throwing the word "unfriendly" the moment she came into the office. Things she found unfriendly includes:
  • Our office building location
  • The signage within the compound
  • The office unit location
  • Our company (because we didn't know she needed direction)

The group of interns and I were all laughing at her the whole time Zaim was tending to her while she waiting for her other colleagues to reach, and she were all giggling when the meeting was going on. Zaim asked if I am joining the meeting but I declined. Partly because the most unfriendly person in the room was the client and also because I have so much other work waiting to be done.

Anyway, I ended work on time today and went to Lenson's house for dinner.

He brought us to Hougang Mall where I bought my supply of snacks for this week. Life without snacks at office is really tough. Definitely need to gym if not all the calories gain is gonna reflect on me.

Lenny sent me home and while I was waiting for him to let me know he was done, my dad ask if I knew how to email his insurance company to request for a cancellation of his insurance. I told him I'd need to draft the cancel letter and print then he sign, and email after scanning. He replied he would go down to the office the next day to do it.

I felt bad about not being able to help him so I fasterly thought about how else can we get it done. I suddenly remember my handy dandy Microsoft Surface and told him I can help him with it, and get his signature on the document.

Took me awhile to Google and wrote the letter but I did it! Looks damn professional please LOL. My dad got it signed and we got it sent out. Even helped him made some changes to his email account so that his login in tied to his number.

Recently, I feel like I haven't been spending enough time with my family. Wishing I hadn't wasted all those months away from home staying for such long duration with my exes. I regret missing watching my brother grow up and not being able to be a sister he could talk to.

Had he wanted to talk to me during certain part of his growing up? I wish we could be closer.

06th Jan 2021: I Miss Dating

By Posted on
I miss the feeling of dating. As life becomes more overwhelmed with work and other commitments, the sparks of a relationship and the priority of it kinda gave way. I miss the late night dates. I miss the unexpected and playful kisses and touches. I miss the flirting on texts.

26th May 2022: Oh How the Flames Have Turned

By Posted on
Things are not getting better at all. I feel that I am losing grip of my life, like a puppet just being string along daily, by everyone and everything. I feel like a good for nothing who can do nothing right. Not even in things that I am interested in. Heck, I don’t even think I am getting the basics right, like breathing and even the use of vocal cords to talk or sing. At this point of time, I’m questioning why am I even on Earth and whether there’s any purpose for me to live on for. Practically speaking, I am just a waste of Earth’s resources because I am a good-for-nothing.  There was a point of time in life when I felt genuinely happy and felt contented. Now, I feel there’s no substance to my life — empty and just unhappy. Happiness seem unfamiliar, as though it’s a myth. I don’t know who I was, who I am. I don’t know what I wanna be. Dodo asked what do I wanna achieve, and the only thing I want to be now is happy. Len said I used to be cheerful and kind. Sweets said she saw me...

16th Sep 2019: My First Ever Resignation Letter

By Posted on

Not much explanation is needed for the content of this post. After struggling for 9 months, yes, I have submitted the letter. The letter was first drafted last year, after I got to know of the promotion and pay raise that I did not have. Then subsequently revised a few more times to dampen the angst and steer it towards a more professional tone. Despite preparing for this moment for months, it was still a tough decision to make even until the point where I hit "Enter" to send it out. What am I going to do after submitting this letter? Will I be able to deal with the uncertainties. Where am I going to head to after my last day of work? Can I handle what is about to come? Amidst these myriads of thoughts, I still come to the same conclusion that this wasn't a rash decision and it was a careful choice that I have decided on albeit not the smartest one that I could have made. Between money and sanity, I chose the latter. Together with my dignity.
