I love watching my dad clear his admin. regardless of the task, he is always 100% present at it. wish I had that.
the recurrent thought of the week is gosh my parents are amazingly diligent, conscientious and disciplined. I suppose they’ve been like this all my life, but I’ve never noticed it till now.
Here I am, constantly bemoaning the fact that i have no time, no space, no energy...

Today’s early lifesaver -
Isaiah 30:15a
This is what the Sovereign Lord, the Holy One of Israel, says: “In repentance and rest is your salvation, in quietness and trust is your strength.”

instinctively, my head started to nod, and i couldn’t help smiling.
simply because, that’s true for me too. without a doubt now and...

With sheer willpower, I am removing my work laptop from its case, switching it on, and getting through the to-do list one by one.
For a better sunday!
i’ve never travelled with 10 pple before. all of a sudden, it feels like we’re on a sch trip, with stel as the teacher, and lays as the doc, and eug as the defense personnel.
as stel said, and i agree with all my heart, its the company that matters. may we return loving each other more! by His grace :)
full circle
tomorrow, i’m gonna have my first real junior at work. she’s joining the sentosa team, and i wouldn’t be surprised if she’s feeling overwhelmed / thrilled / worried / noobish tonight. feels like yesterday when i felt that (wait a minute, i still do.)
i particularly love the firm’s ‘put ourselves in each other’s shoes’ policy. just as lovely seniors...
exactly year ago, we were 1166km away having the time of our lives.
one year on, i’m convinced that it was a trip of breakthroughs. a turning point in so many ways.
what better way to celebrate it than a sleepover at bb’s!
You are gracious :)

proud to say that i’ve attended my first thursday wedding dinner.
strange as it is, tonight was a lovely night. kinda expected it since i’m finally seeing the awesome sentosa team after such a long time (ie 2 months :p).
little chats with P shld be made compulsory. only she’s able to get u excited about doing the cash section, getting review points from bosses and about life...
'i'm only pretty'
9am on a sleepy wed morning, i was sitting next to C, with a whole list of questions.
her computer processes even slower than my laptop, so we always have little moments chatting about frivolous things.
E: so you like working here? it’s not bad right!
C: yeah i do, everyone’s nice.
E: (honestly) yeahh everyone here’s really nice! like you C hahaha
C: (in a straight face) no i’m not nice,...
