I must be jaded. Been receiving so many (surprising) congratulatory wishes from friends all over the force but not feeling the least bit proud. Am I jaded or simply humble?

June started really roughly. I almost wanted to give up the most wonderful gift in my life. To experience near-loss, hurt, loss, birth and joy and death concerning your loved ones all within a week....had been outright indescribable, the myriad of emotions threw me into a state of despair..it was tough. Once again, silver lining at the end of every storm: I’m grateful for those who were there for me and ever so wiling to listen to and help me overcome this emotional turmoil. They are keepers indeed. I hope I have been exemplary in being that supportive friend too. Another gain is the new heights in my resilience. And I’m just glad everyone (including myself) is coping well.

Overall, it had been an eventful month: the accident, enriching workshops, discovering and making nutrilicious vegan recipes, recovering my gold after 2 years ( partly thanks to Michelle's yoko yoko lol) , work ethics shock, discovering that my most hated ones are also my most valuable pawns, discovered how unprepared I am for life ( when it comes to estate planning), got to witness maonyan’s career milestone(ハァト), see him in real time ❤️ Wish i had the chance to meet new people though! I keep missing the chances!

Well, June ended with a bang! What’s there to complain? Kyohei’s birthday will always be a special day. 💕 Looking forward to the second half of the year with many more exciting adventures to come!
And so, I forgot to do my May reflection because I was 1) having too much fun and after which; 2) I was buried in afhjdfjakggaf mountain of work and netball and dragonboat competitions.



Had so much fun chilling, exploring another new place, meeting kind people and perfecting my freestyle stroke! I was damn burnt alright, haha. The best part was to able to switch off my phone for the entire day since I have no connection to the world anyway, woohoo. From this year onwards, I’ve officially coined the first week of May the ‘Golden Week’, by the way. It happens to coincide with that of Japan! Haha.



For the two weeks of disconnecting from work, I was able to spend time with life, myself and my loved ones which was so lovely and precious. It makes problems at work so insignificant. Work is but an trivial part of life, what holds dear is my life and my loved ones. (Just like how you pay yourself first when you get your pay cheque y’know.)



这次的旅程,再次让我体会到了世界的无止境、再一次发觉自身是那么的渺小。显然,自个儿工作上的担忧更是不足挂齿的。当然, 身为一个能干又可依赖的员工,肯定会为自己分内的工作尽责、并且了自我提升而积极向上学习。但不可再让微不足道的烦恼夺走自己的幸福!
心里很不安。接踵而来的噩耗不断地重叠压抑在身上、 有些喘不过气。不断提醒自己:船到桥头自然直,结局是好是坏,我只能坚强地面对现实。どんどん伸びて強くなれ!



Workload has been overwhelming

and frustrating but hey I’m growing from all this shit and I'm grateful for that.



“Life is too short for regrets”- quote of the month from fishy.

Yass, live in the moment, life is too short for regrets! Thanks for the reminder, girlfriend! I seriously hate how life or the society is dictating me, I want to live the way I want it! Oh gosh, more than a quarter of the year has passed in the blink of an eye. I'm ever so grateful for the busy but productive times these couple of months. So thankful for the opportunities given, different experiences, so much life lessons learnt and so much achieved, so draining but yet so fruitful. It's indicating that I'm closer to my life goals. I feel alive!

Whoa I seriously need to make concrete plans for the second half of the year.



That said, I’m looking forward to my well-deserved holiday and break away from worldly matters next week and looking forward to exploring the world and spending quality time with the other side of life!
