Adieu 2020, Hello 2021

Looking back at 2020 and realising it is the year i probably shed the most tears in my 31 years.
Not sure if its gotta do with my accumulating years but i found solace and release in crying (or should I just say, my emotional muscles and tearducts just went into overdrive, or gave up control).

I've done it in public, on trains and buses. For everyday happenings as small as...
When quarreling with an MRT staff who caught me eating my bread on an escalator en route to the MRT barricades. (I swear i didn't know eating where I did made me liable to a fine)
When feelin' exasperated with the boyfriend (ha!)
And not forgetting on my birthday, I even replicated what I did when I came into this world as a naked baby.

On a more sombre note, For deaths in the public sphere.

Of a worker whose dormant yet malicious illness suddenly took him away at my father's company
Of celebrities who left us in the most unexpected and tragic wats whom I might not have known personally but only through the TV screen, whose deaths also shook many others.

2020 was a year that was as helpless as it was a springboard for growth. Forcing us to change. To adapt. To accept what we can't change.

2020, I will always remember you.

Failed my first driving practical test on 8 August, 2016

Hello!
It's been a while since I wrote an entry. The days of blogging and penning articles for leisure seem long past. Today I went for and unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on how you see it) failed my driving practical, so that drove me to some introspection (pun unintended).
I must have made too many a careless mistake. Most fatal of all was the hesitation at the flickering right turn arrow which cost me to flunk the entire test rightaway - testees are not allowed to stay in the junction. So what I ought to have done was make the U-turn expertly with the vehicle in front, instead of obstructing traffic on the road.

I admit, I was a tad tired and I was a tad inattentive. I should have been more alert and I definitely was not at my 100% today. So, I take it as a painful lesson learnt.

Happy National Day to my fellow Singaporeans. I know how everyone isn't in the mood for work today, but be sure to finish what you have on hand, won't ya?

1st meeting@ Paterson Residence

Went to meet the app developer Jack today at 4pm as agreed on.
I didn't even bring any certs nor my degree! ><
Cuz didn't expect it was a formal thing & probably cuz I partly didn't want to be judged by a piece of paper
(my degree)...

Jack told me about his application and the company;
and my job duties.
1) Contact Suppliers for them & Secure appointments for the company!
2) Do Pre-hand translations of any relevant documents to English or just edit and make it more professional la
3) Translate on-the-spot both ways; convey clearly what the team means to the F&B Organisation Personnel

In other words, SELL SELL SELL!!!

Not sure how I turned out, think I was much too quiet and didn't deserve a chance if it was a real-world meeting--Gave the impression that I took it too lightly! ><
Otherwise, its time to work hard to make it work.
Its the fruition of a group of people, their efforts of half a year of hard work.
**Excited & Nervous about this entire new journey of which I am going to be a part of!**
