Last week of May & first week of June

A week without the boss was trying but we (not everyone of course) did our best I think.
Mistakes were made and we learned from there.
'Taking care' of the team is tiring especially when there are people who are, well, incompetent.
It boils down to having the right attitude I believe and it's that arrogance and the I-know-it-all mindset perhaps that stops one from putting in effort to work as a team, to even work well as an individual.
I've tried to maintain my peace but time and time again, someone is just testing my limits.
I really have no time to babysit and to have someone messes up my workflow.
Let's fix this asap shall we?

On the first day of June - OMG! It's already June!, our dear nephew finally arrived!
We were the first (other than his parents) to greet him and he's a smart little chap.
Eyes were wide opened and didn't look like he just arrived an hour ago.
May you grow to be healthy and brought up the way your parents want you to be :)

And then I ended the week with the cuties.
The kids surprised me by playing the let's-see-who-moves-first game.
That was an attempt to calm them down and to enjoy silence for a while and it worked.
Just for that little while, ha.
We even played Twister, a game I have always wanted to play and they had my first.
Gor gor really has grown up and it just proves me right in believing he's a special child who will shine in a unique way.
Mei Mei is another cutie who melts your heart anytime. She's like a 5 year old trapped in a 15's body.
And I surprised myself by being quite a good bedtime story teller.
A short evening but quality time spent.

Being surrounded by newborn and kids, I know the question will pop.
Maybe next year? We'll see :)

2016, a year to remember

June has always been my favourite month. But it didn't start off well as I had my first zero sale, boo hoo. Never mind I thought. I've had a zero, what could be worse? Another zero of course, wtf! Fast forward to June 18, the mahjong khakis celebrated my birthday and surprised me with a cake. June 19, celebrated with the in-laws and ended the night with some sinful durian. June 20. 230am. My phone rang. An unfamiliar number and I was so tired I decided to ignore it and switched my phone to night mode. 330am. Heard the phone beep. It was the FB message alert. For some strange reason, I opened my eyes to check my phone. Two missed calls from my brother and the first line of the FB message read your grandpa is in critical condition... I started shaking. Returned my brother's call and he said the same thing, proved that I wasn't dreaming. I hung up and read the FB message my uncle left me and yes it read my grandpa's in critical condition at Tan Tock Seng...

放下

2016年虽然只过了一半但我却学会和体会了很多。 二月决定放下坚守八年的工作岗位去创业。 因为薪水大减,这几个月来放下一些物质的欲望。 但也因为这份新工作放下了许多压力和不必要的公司或人事纠纷。 有时也必须放下一些不适合这行业的做法,诚恳学习这行的窍门。 六月看到爷爷安详地离去更让我体会的能够放下的人才会快乐。 我会继续努力学习放下。

I would like to erase 2016

It feels like the end of the world but it's not. Or maybe a really bad nightmare. But it's not. Time heals all wounds. But it doesn't (heal) scars. Time reminds you the distance between us. That you are long gone. The pain, I have no words for. The tears, I have no control of. Well, sometimes I try to hold them back and sometimes, I allow myself to be defiant and cry out loud. I'm worried to hold you back with those tears but I'm worried I'd stop thinking of you one day. That one day, everyone pretends you never happened. Or that we forget something along the way. People say life goes on. Sure it does. Without you that is. 2016, I fucking hate you. I know this too will pass and when I'm more at peace, I'd be able to forgive you. But I'd never forget. I'd learn to let go instead.
