next focus point
yes this is an update of my life.
eventful week and a more eventful weekend. hopefully am well-rested for the next 5 days of work. the slight bright side this week is that one of my project managers is on leave for the first half of the week.. timely since there is a new project kicking off this week as well. while the net workload seems to offset and remain the same, hopefully the pace might be slightly slower as well.
last couple of weeks have be surrounding my focus on Lunar New Year and Valentine's. now that both are over, time to shift to the next focus of gunning for the promotion i long want. until next time then, cheers.

6th
yes this is an update of my life.
yesterday was the last day of the Lunar New Year, so the celebrations (and gambling) are now officially over. proud to say i am on a 6-years winning streak so far. looks like passion in mathematics and degree in numeracy-related major might have been really useful.
despite the Lunar New Year being over, i am still a little shocked at how fast time is passing by. there are a few indicators around the year that will make you pause and look back a little on what have you done recently. Lunar New Year is definitely one of the indicators. i was in a pretty different position last year's Lunar New Year. however, i am glad to be where i am right now. not saying that i was in a bad position last year, just that now i am in a better one.
stay safe and healthy everyone, especially with the recent outbreak. until next time then, cheers.

spree
yes this is an update of my life.
rewinding a little back to the mini shopping spree that took place in the recent trip to JB with the family. whenever we head over, we usually have a guide to bring us around and what not since the older folks prefer that way. however, this time was the first time we head to JB without a guide in a long time. well, the guide became fatbro and i.
the main purpose of this trip was to really explore the numerous malls around and man it was a good trip topping up supply of clothes and what not. spent quite a lot but definitely got way much more than if i were to spend the same among in Singapore. got most of the things needed for CNY just left with a pair of formal shoes.
somehow the end of this year feels much more busier than last year but i guess for a good reason as well. until next time then, cheers.

last month
yes this is an update of my life.
would you believe it, it is December already. time has no mercy, powering through at such a speed. people are slowly disappearing from the workplace as they look to have an enjoyable end of the year. meanwhile i am still in office until next year. quiet time in the office to clear some low priority tasks or things that i have been procrastinating for quite some time.
been thinking quite a lot lately as well. from current concerns to things pertaining to the "what's next". from past experiences to the "what if's". all in all i am still in a happy position.. i think that is what matters most. things can be happening but as long as you aren't letting yourself down, you are fine. what have i accomplished this year? quite a lot but i am also aware of the numerous shortcomings this year as well.
three more weeks to end of 2019 and 2020 will soon dawn upon us. treasuring everyday as always. until next time then, cheers.

$50 gamble
yes this is an update of my life.
so after numerous weeks of procrastination i have done something that i should have done slightly earlier.. submitting my online application of my Masters course. yes, i finally did it and paid the application fee. my bet is down and it is time to see if this gamble is a good one.
apart from that, been so busy especially with a mini "boss" visiting the office during this couple of weeks. but am glad that UK colleagues visit us as we can get to take them around to try the various food and introduce fun things to do. considering it is towards the end of the year and that most UK colleagues will be off from Christmas, we have slightly less than a month to squeeze in as much things to do as possible before then.
yeah, it sounds like a little mad rush but i guess it will be a good one. lots of things to look forward to before the end of 2019.. be it in office or out of office. until next time then, cheers.

hands full
yes this an update of my life.
time and tide waits for no man. been so caught up with the things on hand that i have not keep track of time now and then. let's see where i should begin.
further studies. finally some update from my company on my proposal for further studies. i guess it is an awesome news though compromises have to be made.. it is inevitably anyway. i am just thankful for the support and the opportunity to really take the next big step into personal development. it definitely not going to be a easy journey, especially when i have more than just my full-time job to juggle. technically, i have a full-time job and "part-time" job now.. if accepted, i will be a part-time student as well. bless my sanity.
computer woes. the past two weeks of me being absent from this platform can be partly linked to the rollercoaster rides i have in office. not sure if it is sheer bad luck or not.. when those things hit it is inevitable i have to burn some extra time. so with more weekday nights not being able to have my quality solo time, i had to take some time off from my weekend to really relax/disconnect a little, hence the absence.
the next half of November will be packed too. nonetheless, i guess this is living.. i know i am for one who cannot really be sitting and doing nothing for too long a time. busy is better than bored. until next time then, cheers.

cold and wet
yes this is an update of my life.
got into last week and work has turned a little insane over the week. now am on my official holiday. moved from the office-booked Airbnb to my own holiday Airbnb just yesterday afternoon. as there was a weird gap between the check-out and check-in time, i decided to walk about 5km in the cold and wet weather. thankfully the rain here isn't annoyingly heavy.. usually similar to the case of drizzle/shower in Singapore.
nonetheless, here i am ready to be all tourist in my final week in the UK. hoping that the weather will be good for me to explore the man many places i intend to explore. things here are really expensive.. but i guess given i don't come here often, i shall ignore that fact that i am spending quite a lot a little. of course will be hoping to be back someday soon. until next time then, cheers.

to London
yes this is an update of my life.
two weeks literally flew by and my time in Cambridge is up.. heading to London tomorrow morning. through the past couple of weeks i guess i did really made full use of my time there.. exploring numerous colleges and trying at food places that i have roughly planned.
the peace and quiet here is really much appreciated though i was warned by my colleagues that this atmosphere might be quite different in London. well, not that i mind.. i just only hope for a good weather throughout my stay in London, with not too many wet days especially on days i will be dragging all my bags around. until next time then, cheers.

the chill
yes this is an update of my life.
today woke up with a feeling of extreme chill. checked the maps and it says outside was 6 degrees.. didn't believe it at first since it was 10+ in the past few days. well things got interesting when i stepped out and made my way to work. it was indeed much colder today. lesson: trust Google.
the chill aside, today was a work day of unique schedule.. 90% of my time in meetings. had an interesting strategy meeting as well. quite productive i would say. managed to get some of my initiatives pushed forward as well. however, that would mean slightly more work in the weeks/months to come. apart from that, i too am taking another leap of faith into some management stuff.. no, unfortunately not a promotion but rather extra responsibility. wonder how this will work out though. time will tell.
time really flies. it feels as though i just came to the UK for my work/leisure trip but in fact i am almost halfway through already. nonetheless i think i am still making full use of my time so far. still more exciting things to do and places to explore in the coming couple of weeks. until next time then, cheers.
