2010 to 2011

2010 is coming to an end.

Is time to wrap up the happenings for the year.

First 3 months were sailing fine.
Due to deployment 3 of our team members left among which 2 managed to get another role in the bank.

April was a nightmare to me. Father got hospitalised for 1 whole month at TTSH.
I travelled everyday without fail to the hospital to see him and only absent on Mother's day.
He then moved in to stay with us since discharged.
I never knew to look after an elderly can be so... tough that I even screamed at him a couple of times. That hurt me badly cos I raised my voice at him for the first time.

During his stay in hospital, they found stones in the gall bladder which need to remove.
Some of them were already 'floating' outside had been removed during his stay.
He needed to have another op to get rid of the rest which are still not out.
But it will be better to kick them off before it cause pain.
That was scheduled in June 2010.

But because of my job depolyment, I need to take another trip to Pune and guide another vendor team. They had send a team during late May to Spore for training about a month.
My missison there is to guide the team further.
I supposed to leave in July and so father's op need to be postphoned till I am back to Spore.

So I left on July 18 for the oseas task and back on 7 Aug 10.
The trip went on fine. I met another younger and bigger team this year.
They were nice people - willing to learn and very positive about the new job.
Though now already back to Spore, I am still regularly in contact with the big family.
We have built up good friendship. Some of them are even my facebook friends which we styaed communicated outside the office hours.

During these few months, management had given me a good platform to perform.
The overseas trip was a good opportunity to display my leadership skills, my knowledge sharing with the team and many other aspects.

They had put on a very fantastic report for me and recommend me for a promotion to AVP.
Final results were out on 13 Dec 10 which I received a call from Christophe toghether with Dushyant when he was in town to break the good news that I had managed.
The official list was out on 15 Dec 10. Once that was released, well wishes came from my young team at Pune. That was a best moment in life.

2 days ago, I got the official letter in regards to my promotion. Hereby I confirmed that my status had now be Asst. Vice President.
My definition to the title actually = more work, more responsibilities, more stress.
But this is a performance paid off. So I will harder not to let the mgt down.

The last 2 months of 2010 were the down swing. I recently suffering from chest pains and is coming more regulary than before.
Not sure it is due to work stress or my health is getting worse.
I had a hunch that it may not be a good sign.

Dec 17 marks the end of brokerage team in Spore. Our last staff on the team had left.
Though now with Expense Mgt since last year, my soft spot is still with previous team which we share alot of stuff together. Being so alone is also one of the reasons for my down swing mood.

Thanks to a friend that I knew for half a year that been there always.
The comfort that was given to me, the consolations provided, the care and everything just boost my spirit each day goes by.
Although miles apart, we keep frequent contacts sharing our happiness and the unhappiness moments.

Thanks a lot my dear friend, you will be always on my mind.
Hope this friendship can be maintained and carry on just like yr friendship with yr close fren which was there for 22 years and still get going.
You will be my lifetime fren.
Really hope you can come to Spore soon we can share the good moments together.

Just barely a week to go before 2011. Hopefully my mood will be heighten when get into the new year. And everything got onto the right track.

Let's throw 2010 behind have a wonderful and good 2011 ahead.

Update

2 months had gone by since my last update. Any other reasons - too busy.

Actually since back from Pune, time had always not enough.
After the last payables had gone off, I am almost on my own.

Anytime anything that needs urgent attention, naturally it will come to me.
Life was back to before except that I no longer have helping hands.

Any prioties - Jenny pls
When issues not resolved - Jenny pls
Things not right - Jenny pls

OMG it just went on and on and on.

Apart from that, had been troubled recently.
I just not able to get into sleep early.
The earliest probably after 3am and even as 'early' as 5am.
Lots of things weighing on mind and cant put it to rest.
No friends to speak to, nobody to turn to, no shoulder to lean on, no hand to hold on.
I am basically on my own.
Even there is someone that I can, I not able to.

Well, will just keep it deeply buried into the bottom and hope one day this will go off.

Sad thing...
