gratitude and gratefulness

i had yet another farewell dinner with my close supplier-friend yesterday at saboten.

he was feeling sick but i still walk into a tonkatsu shop without flipping the menu only to discover they sell nothing but tonkatsu. not too suitable for a sick fella, but he was game to try. Heng the food was not bad, quite good.

The only flaw was that out of 3 managers who was supposed to attend, only 1 made it. One was too bogged down with work and one was sick. AWWWWWW. Too bad.

As a reflection of my journey with CV-Sg, I felt that I had been given more than I had given. I got to know some dependable reliable suppliers who will sacrefice sleep to see things thru (while i am alseep...haha) and help me meet a deadline with a sense of urgency deeper than mine.

And even if one year and three months is a short period of time, i just feel more experienced than ever. More experienced than the 2 years at SLS. There is just so much shitty things that I dont like doing that I am doing that make me feel i can overcome any thing any where since i already overcame them at CV-Sg. I appreciate people who spotted my mistakes and help me correct them. Learning through mistakes is a painful way but I survived!

Hence, through out my farewell speech, gratitude and gratefulness to my bosses and colleagues was the only main theme that i had wanted to bring across.

I had senoirs who recognised my potential and ability. who enjoyed working with me and I am very proud of that. It is a major feel good better and a sign to me that I ought to stay the way I am. Dont fix what is not broken. Even if I met vengeful, scheming individuals, it is best to leave them alone and just do my own stuff wholeheartedly.

Smart , knowing people can see and that is enough.

I can wait to start my new job on a higher level than I previously was. And importantly , credit goes to CV-sG for making me a better worker/person in an organisation. I feel like I can contribute and really value-add more in my next organisation.

I can sense the road in front of me is so long and meandering. I can't wait to see if I can climb and prove my way up to the corporate ladder or if I am only good at some mid-rung level.

Well. I don't care where I end up as long as I am happy doing what I am and will be doing.


Off to Hkg in the next 24 hours. I really love life as it is now. Who knew, really?
