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。

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...

I've been reminding myself to not judge and to treat all of them equally.  I think I've managed to do that so far but still can't help but roll my eyes at times.  1) The rich yet stingy  These are the ones who carry Hermes but find your clothes too expensive (seriously one Hermes is equivalent to my entire rack of clothes or more) and will never fail to ask for a discount. I meet such people the most.  2) The I'm too skinny for Korean clothes  There are some who are really skinny and nothing seems to fit but there are also some who are actually not that skinny and don't understand Korean clothes are mostly not body hugging.  3) The loose fitting clothes make me look fat or fatter No, your food, lifestyle and probably genes make you fat. Do you really think body hugging clothes will actually make you look slimmer? You are merely highlighting the flaws of your body.  4) The was there a typhoon here after you left  Treat the ...

Another overdue post. Guess it matches how overdue my Japan trip was. I was told by my uncle when I was 8 that he'd bring me to Japan one day. Since then, I've been wanting to visit. Or at least I thought I was really going. But that didn't happen and when I was older, the radiation has stopped us several times until recently I figured what if we never get pregnant? Does that mean we never get to visit Japan? So many couples returned pregnant so maybe we should be there too? Anyway, I went ahead to book the tickets, much to some people's disapproval. But, I'm quite stubborn when I'm set on something so off we went. Strangely, I wasn't as excited as I thought when I just landed. Perhaps it was 5 in the morning and I didn't sleep much during the red eye flight. And when we reached Shinjuku, I was quite surprised the clean city was nowhere in sight. Couldn't help but feel disappointed. And it didn't help that we couldn't check in. S...
