what a pity

My new colleague from the Philippines invited me to go Manila for her wedding on 11 Nov 2011!

This wedding in the Philippines will be her 2nd wedding ceremony. Her first was held in Singapore, but her husband wants to hold another traditional one in the Philippines on the very special date 11/11/11 just for her. So sweet :)

I was really surprised about her invitation as she has just joined the company for only 3 weeks. She mentioned that if she could, she would invite everyone but alas she couldn't :(

Even more surprising is that she asked me to be her god-mother! I was shocked when I first heard her say it, but after further clarification, I found out that in the Philippines, the god-mother is like a bridesmaid, just that it is a level higher than a bridesmaid. Wonder why they call it god-mother... hmmm

I was really stoked when I receive her invitation and really excited about the idea of attending a foreign wedding.

 Was contemplating really hard and I almost agreed to it... BUT... It suddenly dawn on me that I have my dragonboat training. Aiya... and the date is sooo close to regatta! Luckily I remembered on time else it wouldn't be nice if I agreed to attend and backed out again at the last minute.

Also I would want to be with my team mates supporting them for the biggest DB event in Singapore.

Hopefully I will have another chance in future to attend an overseas wedding :)

Musings of the day

This morning I was going through my insta stories and saw Tony Gaskins (I love this guy) ask me a question session. It was so informative, and an eye opener to see so many people airing their relationship issues. It put a lot of things into perspective, especially seeing things from a 3rd party POV. Seeing what sort of advice all of them are seeking, the answer is already very glaring, but they are blinded by it and chose to ignore it. The same happened for me. The answer was glaring when I expressed my feelings a few months back, but I chose to hold on. Well, no more. When I finally opened my eyes and see things as what it is, I felt, free. Free from my own demons, own insecurities. And I felt ready to move on and focus on something else. What I have learnt is that true love never leaves you doubts and sadness. I have to learn to think for myself. On that note, I have decided to take a break from my DB team. Reason is very simple. It is a toxic relationship, one that limits my grow...

Don't follow blindly, create your own!

Let me be honest here. Ever since coming out on my own, I have been struggling with finding a routine that I can adhere to. I am constantly stressing out, thinking I am not doing enough as a wannabe entrepreneur.  I always read articles about top CEOs starting their day early, catching only 4-5 hours of sleep a day, planning their day ahead with a routine and sticking to the routine. They are always on the go, multi-tasking all the time. Over time, I've come to realise, that is not for me. Sticking to a routine made me stressed out over unnecessary things, made me frustrated thinking I am not doing enough.  The truth is, we are all different, and we work different. I like to procrastinate if I am given a long timeline. I like to be in a pressure cooker environment where I am swarmed with deadlines, and that is also when I perform best, with sudden spurts of energy to get things done. But once that energy is released, I need time to space out again. Yes I agree tha...
