A new role; a new beginning
Amazing! It has been two years since my last post. Just thankful that the previous entries still exist for memory sake. Time flies... so much have changed over two years.
Ah ma passed away 10 Jan 2011. She left us but she will always be remembered by all of us forever. it was a challenging period for the family emotionally. she is just so important to us that her passing on left a huge vacuum in the family. she had been in poor health for the past few years so maybe it is indeed a relief for her that she is now in a new place in heaven watching over the family. this was the most painful event for me... even till today, whenever I think of ah ma, I cant help but cry. Indeed, everyone of us missed her so much. the day that hemorrhage hit her, I will always remember. I hug her in my arms and supported her on the bed. she vomited. she was in a daze but I did not expect that that would be her last conscious moment. She passed on within a week. it was my greatest regret that she could not attend my wedding in Oct. I wish she was with us. I really wished that she was there o share our joys..... more than a year has passed since. my grandpa has adjusted well, so have my aunts and dad. I'm glad that we remained strong during this emotionally challenging period.
Now, i am eagerly awaiting the arrival of my niece in late Nov or early Dec! we cant wait for her arrival. Just praying that all will be well for sis in law and bro. Something I wish to do is to also bring ah gong for a short trip or a very good meal. I just want to make best use of time and cherish the time together with him and the family.
My dearest wife is overseas for masters programme and I look forward to seeing her in U.S. in 5 weeks time. Looking forward to her return next year and I hope to plan another two trips to visit her in U.S. hope that she is safe and enjoying her education.
As for my work, nothing extraordinary. Going to a new place in a new role. Quite a lot to learn and to catch up. my wish this time round is to graduate as distinguished student of the class. placed second at the moment, hope to maintain. It would be quite a disappointment if I were to miss this great opportunity to gain some recognition. Hope the world is with me! But well, I can expect external factors to upset the balance.. we shall see. but please, I have worked hard and I believe that I am deserving. Losing this placing would just mean that the ranking is staged (as commonly done). please... may I be truly blessed this round. I have missed quite a few opportunities in life, please don't allow this chance to slip.
