Last Day of Work in 2016

Its about 45 mins to the end of my last day of work in 2016.


I remember my first day of work this year, coming back after being away for almost 7 weeks (post-hospitalization & annual) leave, coming into a new role with a new team, new boss, new floor/workstation ...
It has been a roller coaster year - loads of difficult, trying moments, feeling lost & dejected, many many frustrating moments ... but also, lots of fun, laughter, love, joy & a great sense of accomplishment at surviving this year.
I love what I do now, especially because it gives me time - to think, plan & do many of the things that I want to do.
Its been a great year at work & 2017 looks like its going to be a fabulous year!!!


(drafted this in Dec 2016 but only just got to posting it. Obviously very optimistic - possibly due it being the holiday/Christmas season - but real life kicks in & then we wonder why did we ever think that things were going to be different...)

2011-A New Year

It has been more than a year since I last wrote. 2010 was an amazing year for me and I was hardly ever online, much less taking the time to plan & write. But looking back at all that I have written before, I think that its good to put things down, so that I can remember what it was like, what I felt like and all other related stuff. So this year, I will make an effort to put things down in print. Think that this is gonna look like a rojak thingy - experiences, thoughts, ideas, plans, food journal & fitness diary (apparently fitness & weight loss goals are better achieved when one makes notes :-) So, today what have I done - its 12.13pm now Came in early this morning, cleared my emails then went for breakfast - had a 3-shot latte & a shepherd's pie - nice! Got back to the office & started work on the Employer of Choice slides. Met up with Audrey to discuss the EOC stuff & all other matters. Back to the slides. Now after lunch I need to focus on the PDR valida...

Same Old ...But New?

Driven to mental desperation, I find myself drawn again to putting my thoughts down in words. Thoughts translated to words and sentences have a way of: 1. Clearing one's thoughts, the re-reading and editing helps with the clarity 2. Putting things into perspective 3. Allowing one to re-visit one's thoughts Referring to item 3, going back to my earlier post 7-8  years ago, it does seem like nothing has changed very much - I am again feeling not-so-intelligent, inadequate as a parent, overwhelmed by life, unloved and alone. And yet, I have changed. I am well aware that there is a life very different from this. I know, based on feedback from varied sources, that: 1. I am intelligent 2. I am a good mom 3. I am in control of my life - having been through and survived several storms in the past 3-4 years 4. I am loved; maybe not in the way that I want to be but I am definitely loved, by many, for different reasons, and sometimes for not other reason than for being me ...

My Profile Pic

Needing something different to do during my lunch break today, I decided to change the look of my page & in doing so, reviewed my profile. I was scanning through my pics when this particular one caught my attention. This is a sculpture of Venus which I viewed at the British Museum in 2011. Why this picture? 1. The position of the figure - crouching as if hiding, with the arm protectively across, as if to ward off some harm. There are days where I want to hide, to protect myself from the world, constant demands being made of me, my inadequate self that cannot meet these demands 2. She's looking back I am more often than not caught up in the past - the should have, could have, why did or didn't I's 3. Most important, she seems ready to launch forward Where I usually am, wanting to move forward but still looking back & hiding from it all So, I want to move forward but I need to let go of my fears & my past ....
