glow

yes this is an update of my life.

back from a well rested week in Taiwan.. though my immune system took a slight hit in the last few days. second time being in Taiwan for holiday with the family. explored new places and old places that we really missed since our last trip back in 2016.

i have now the glow of a person who had been through a well rested break.. back to the grind come tomorrow. not looking forward to the number of emails but am looking forward to seeing my colleagues again. exciting times ahead, i would say. Christmas party, personal internal research and a proposal i do not want to go into too much into for now. i foresee days of overtime but it will be worth it come January.

in other news, today was a rather productive off day as well. managed to get the gift for the upcoming office Christmas party. got myself a new wallet (the old one last me 5 years, wow) and also bought assessment books for my tutee. the roads of Singapore can be really interesting.. each day i ride i bound to see funny road users.. pedestrians and drivers.

alright time to enjoy the last couple hours of me-time before preparing for a slightly shorter week of work. last stretch of 2018, here i come. until next time then, cheers.

mission grow fat

yes this is an update of my life.

gosh time flies.. or maybe i am just a little bad with time management. just realised i have not posted here in a half a month. apparently i am prioritising many things before updating my blog. there is even a draft blog post that i intend to post before 2019 arrives but have yet to write all the details in. anyway that can wait a couple more weeks. now i would rather update on what has been going on in the past 15 days or so.

let's get the thing that might be of least interest to readers aside first.. work.

if i dislike my job, i will never talk about it here. well of course i am still enjoying it. yes, the workload has been a little insane the last few weeks.. one of the main factors that led me to not posting here as often. there were so many deadlines and changes that were somewhat out of mine, or even my company's, control. found myself working OT more than half the days in the last 2 weeks. glad things managed to work out in the end.

there have been quite a couple of changes in my department as well. this sort of hints a more stressful times in months to follow. nonetheless this also revealed an opportunity that i have been pondering on for quite some time now. shan't get into the details but let's just say as soon as i am back in office in 10 days' time, i need to craft an important positive letter.

moving to something more interesting, linking to the 10 days of absence.

am on leave from now for the next 10 days.. on a special mission of growing fat. heading back to Taiwan again after two years. i really miss the food and weather there.. cannot believe i will be there again. exploring couple of new places but will be visiting some of the places we really loved the last time we were there as well.

well then, given short attention span, i shall leave some updates in the next post, or the one after if i decide to talk a lot about my trip in the next post. until next time then, cheers.
