ARGH. STILL FEEL SO SICK. PLEASE DON’T DIE. ARGH.

Today is Thaipusam. Happened to pass by Orchard Rd and see massive loads of Hindus on the roads in their kavadi. That was like, OUCH. Yet they were so happy and singing and dancing. Don’t they at all feel any pain or discomfort?



They certainly require a lot of dexterity I guess.

Idle Mind Is the Devil's Workshop

First post since COVID-19. Not exactly sure what to write, simply because so many things took place--I completed my Masters, I moved house several times, I was promoted, I applied for a new home, I am recruiting, blah blah blah. Just too happening. And time is slipping away fast. Didn't really have time to consolidate my mind, but yes I'm a little tired of managing the expectations of others. I mean, it's my life, I decide, isn't it? 哪儿来那么多事？ Just a random rant for now. A short rant about everything in the last 5 years. 千年後 你我都 仍被豢養

No, correction. Become one of them.

Intern 十日新人 ​

Just ended a 10-day (actually it’s 11 but whatever, I’m an Arts student so I am assumed to be unable to process numbers beyond 9) internship. It was an amazing process of self-discovery I swear. 带了一群大学新鲜人过来我们公司参加十天的商业竞赛，其间还在民丹岛待了三天。 这短短十天真是充满了发现自我的时刻——发现自己的特长、弱点，种种。 Leading a team of interns is nothing like leading a Hall or a student society, because the stakeholders are very different. You’re no longer just responsible to organisational entities but also responsible to tangible successes, which is basically KPIs like profit or manpower. Multi-tasking have reached a new level for myself. Being someone who is extremely haphazard (and messy), leading a team while staying focused on track on what I am supposed to do already as a financial advisor is pretty challenging. 革命尚未成功，林北仍需努力。非常努力。 Being friends and co-workers at the same time brings your relationship to a whole new level. I guess one of the biggest realisation for myself is my lack of patience. I guess the past few years in Hall ...
