21th Jan 2021: Bounce Back Stronger

By Posted on
Today, I felt invisible and small at work.

It was not one incident, but the accumulation of many many. Whether colleagues rather approach someone else even though I was available, or someone outside the office told me I don't know anything about what's going on and ask to speak to someone else instead.

It took me some time to regain my composure and I think I did my best at that moment to handle the emotions.

This year, I strive to stay focused in my journey of self-love. There is so much to learn about loving oneself.

It can be, but it's not always about the aesthetic.

Self-love is doing things that make me happy.
Self-love is pushing myself to be better.
Self-love is not being too hard on myself when I don't do well.

Fats are stubborn, but I shall persevere.
People can be nasty, but I am shall not be fazed.

Now that I got the more emotional part out, I shall move on to the happy things that happened at work!

WS knew I was upset about the nasty client so when he went to get a snack for himself, he took one for me. It was a snack we both ate it previously when I bought it and agreed it was nice. He placed the snack in front of me and said gently, "Don't angry le."

Xiao touch!!

Another funny thing was us talking about CF getting tilted when certain names are mentioned. I followed up saying he was so tilted it seemed like he was ready to do a somersault.

To everyone's surprised, he said that he was ready and he did a kid's version of it. LS even pushed him LOL.

The going at work can get tough. But with good colleagues, the tough gets going pretty quickly.

Dear Universe, thank you for giving me the strength to find the silver lining. Thank you for blessing me with good colleagues. Thank you for blessing me with people who love me. ♥️

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.
