Singapore, Awake.


Roads so empty, shopping malls closed, everywhere feels so detached. Everyone is either on the streets saying goodbye or at home watching his final farewell on tv. A historical moment indeed. There's softness in everyone's eyes that i have never seen on such an amazing scale. & i really got to say that this is evidently his last gift to us. He brought us together when he first founded Singapore, and brings us together again as he bids us an eternal farewell.

Dear Mr Lee, I may not know you well but i give my utmost gratitude to you for giving me the chance at freedom. Thank you for your dedication and great leadership that helped build Singapore from a 3rd world country to a metropolis, a place we now call home. Rest in peace Mr Lee. Your legacy will live on forever and you will always be the father of our nation in our hearts.

"When a man cried for a nation, he must have loved the nation.
When a nation cries for a man, he must have built the nation"

Last Day of Work!



F R E E D O M .


It feels surreal that I've finally left my first '9 to 5' after 2 years of working full time. Suddenly reality starts to hit me and I feel kinda lost. On one hand, I am really excited to a new future but also feeling kinda apprehensive about losing the stable income that I've been getting.

Thinking back, I've come a long way from the person I was on first day of work and the person I am today. It's hard work (helluva stress, definitely) but I've learned heaps of things that I'll never have learn in school. Contracts, agreements, recruitment, accounting, work relations, marketing, project works, micro-managing and so much more... mannn, I'm truly grateful for this opportunity given to me.

Also, today marks a change of career direction for me, from 'Employed' to 'Self Employed'! Gonna attempt the role of a freelancer or another office role (whichever comes first) and at the same time try to pass with flying colours for my diploma & successfully advance to a degree in HR 

I don't know where I'm going, but I'm on my way.
