Was reading the post that i wrote in Jun 2013 about work. I'm really thankful that i did spent time to write that lengthy post back then. It still serves as a good reminder of God's faithfulness, favour & how i should trust in Him. As i read that post, even after 7-8 years, I'm really amazed at how God's hands orchestrated and how it all fell into place. I am still very thankful for everything, even working in that company. There's definitely bad days, but I am extremely grateful for the opportunity to start my career path there. 

You know the saying, "好马不吃回头草" ? Don't believe it, the grass isnt always greener at the other side. Sometimes, it is okay to go back to that same patch! 

Since i started in this current place back in 2017, I always had this thought / feeling / prompting that I made the wrong move. Right from the start, I was already physically sick on the 1st day of work. 什么好兆头?! Ps. I realised i didn't write too much here in the past few years, because it really brings back bad memories. The work was crazy, really insane. There were so many 1st times here. It's really crazy. I remember uttering that I regretted my decision to work here, numerous times. And it was really my biggest regret in my life HAHA. 

The culture is different, which is good to an extent... (except the whatsapp culture, argh). The people / colleagues are easy to work with, and really helpful. (Besides 1 or 2 black sheep). Truthfully, the recent 1.5 years had been slightly better (besides workload). I really thank God for sending my current boss. I'm not too sure, but there's definitely a shift in dynamic. Else is also because of my mindset of preparation. 

Regardless, even though i always feel that I made a wrong decision. There are things to thank God, his divine timing for Covid 19 (this reminded me of SARS in 2003). 

I really thank God that I am currently in a manufacturing site, so we do not see/feel the impact as drastic as other sites (MRO). No doubt, demand dropped, retrenchment, furlough, cost saving measures implemented. But we still have work to do (ok, besides days when we have incidents for SPF)

I thank God for preserving my job especially in times like this too.

I thank God for his perfect timing (because God really knew the desires of my heart) :)

My reminder:

Let the countdown begin.

P.S. i miss travelling! :( so does everyone. I thank God for pre-covid travel spree in the past x years. Looking back, splurging on travelling wasn't that bad after all hehe. Thank you Jesus!
