The Decision
The past 2 weeks have been very busy for me; both personally and at work.
Personally, I have been busy with dating, attending choir practices, sticking to my jogging routine (3 times a week) and other misc stuff.
At work, I have been busy adapting to the various new roles and responsiblities that have been bestowned on me since day 01; which is effectively a helpdesk role; problem solving being the main nature of the job. Adapting to this position requires myself to first have a mindset change; because coming from a front office job previously is a totally different ball game all together. I realised that the earlier struggle that I had for a while in my 2nd week was the retention of the same mindset I had when I was at my previous place; and by using that mindset to do the current work, I was uncomfortable, whiney and feeling unjustified all the time.
However, as I begin to change my mindset, things begin to change. No, the workload did not and will not decrease, but the outlook of the situation becomes brighter and more optimistic and the best part is; I have a vision for what I want to do right here and in a few years time. So effectively speaking, I will not be in this role for more than 2 years; i gurantee you. haha!..because my primary job satisfaction still derives from meeting clients and going out for client visits for meetings etc etc. Hence, with that purpose in mind, I am feeling better now!
I have also reminded myself that this is the decision I made because the peace of God came upon me as I was seeking Him for a direction earlier this year when I decided to leave my previous workplace. By reminding myself of the sense of peace, it has no doubt indeed helped me to overcome many emotional turmoil that I initially experienced when I first got here.
In the next 5 years, I would be 30 years old and by then; this is what I would like to acheive:
1) Get married and have our boon keng DBSS Flat!
2) Vice President ranking
3) Five Figure Savings
4) A choir i/c or bv (In no order of preference)
5) Have my first kid
6) At least 2 of my family members recieving salvation
7) Have a Honda Jazz (2012 model?)..haha..
Yesterday, I finally made the decision or rather purchase of my entire life!...hahaha...as my heart pounded and thumped, I mustered up enough courage to whip out my card and signed on the dotted line...of the reciept!..and viola!...the first of many ring purchases to come for myself and dearie!...was it intimidating?..of course it was..but I really want to thank Dear for her understanding and support during this period of waiting because it was certaintly not easy for her!...dear dear, thank you so much for your love and support throughout this period of time; without you; this purchase would have been meaningless.
But with you, this purchase is THE Purchase of my life!..hahaha!

I am also so proud of my little sis; Sarah for doing so well in her PSLE!...and the best part is she is the best performer out of all 4 siblings!..hahaha..surely the last is always the best!...hahaha...really v happy and proud of her even right now, as I think of it, it brings a wide smile to my face because I am honoured to have such a SMART sister!..jiayou jiayou sarah!..no matter which sec sch u enter, I am sure you will continue to do well and yes; I will honour my promise of getting you the bag ok?..hahaha.... :)
