Hello June, it's been a rough ride isn't it? Things have been changing from one end of the spectrum to the other so diversely, hence... "jigly".
I've been doing a lot of praying as of late, I really hope that something good will come out. Whenever I go to office, I never fail to go to Yueh Hai Ching temple which is just nearby to pray for good luck in my job search.

I've used "Manic" before in one of my entries back in 2020. Now is about a good time as any to use it again. May has been an emotional roller coaster and a very loathsome month where work is concerned. Well.. I'll get to that...

What a crazy month April has been. Sometimes I'm under the impression that my manager thinks I'm very free from the way he kept on throwing work my way. What broke the straw for me was when during our bi-weekly 1-on-1 he mentioned how I hadn't touched on the Process part of my job scope. That was when I snapped within, to the point that I showed him my daily activity records to make a point that I have certainly not been slacking. And earlier today when I took stock of my tasks, I realized that I have 11 ongoing tasks on hand. I really feel that whatever was described to me during the interview are not materializing and it really is time for me to move on, even if I have to forgo the sign-on bonus. I really couldn't care about the money anymore. Ever since the announcement that 100% of the workforce can return to office, I've been returning 3 days a week and even left office after 7 despite starting at 9 this week.

In a blink of an eye, March has come to a near end. I really felt like my life just zipped past by me. Work has been tiring - there has been no time for rest in between tasks, and I happily welcome the early release Fridays at the end of each month which is the only reprieve I get from work. I'm really feeling the burnout from countless mindless executions. I seldom have time to sit back and reflect on how I can do things better or utilise the tools that are available. It has been a very tiring journey so far in Klook.

As we inch closer towards the end of February, the question on everybody's mind is, what the hell is Russia doing??? War, is something that happened in history text books, it must not and should not have had to happen in our time. How can this madness possibly unfold in our era?? I feel very sorry for the Ukranians and hope that something will happen somehow to stop this senseless invasion by the Russians. Closer to home, the Myanmar crisis is also not showing any signs of improvement while further up north, missiles are still being fired into the sea on almost a weekly basis. I can't help but think why are there still crazies in ruling positions in this world. The world needs to find its sanity back. What a concerning February this has been.

I thought long and hard about this post really. By now "K" Line Pte Ltd is the employer with whom I've worked the longest for - 8 years and 9 months to be exact. I started back in March 2013 as a Senior Executive in the Information Systems Solutions department, 8 days after Lindsay's birth. I started my career with "K" Line then very enthusiastically, it was my ticket back to Singapore which I had long hoped for. I was very grateful to my hiring manager then who gave me the opportunity I had been hoping for in 3 years. And not to mention her replacement who trusted me a lot to deliver some of the key projects in the company, he even convinced the CEO to retain me in "K" Line when I had turned down the offer to ONE. I remain eternally grateful to both of them, truly.
