The Saturday after my last day in this department! For the first time i had a better sleep and recharged my body energy battery to 90% after so long! Even though my body battery is not good and it get drained very fast, I felt so satisfied to finally get 6 hours of good sleep ^^ Woke up at 7am, brushed up, and had a 2 hours zoom call with a Prudential agent. Had bee hoon set for brunch and drank 2 cups of water! (wow great start, completing the amount of water i drink for about 1 week on usual days) Despite sleepy by noon, I went out for a quick run - 30 mins of run + playing at the elderly fitness corner in the neighbouring park. After that I showered, laundry clothes and hang up the clothes. At 3.30pm, Kai bb came to fetch me, and we are out for brisk walking. He asked me where I want to brisk walk, I suggested the sqkii hunt the mouse walk at nearby - saw Sembawang side have a smaller white circle in the map, so off we go. Thought we can play some basketball aiming if we pass by basketball court, but Kai bb can't find his basketball at home. Anyway, we did not pass by basketball court, so yea haha. After 1 hour of searching for the mouse coin, I am feeling a bit demoralize. Saw other people also searching for the coin :D Kai bb asked if I want to go jb to visit the pasar malam outside Sutera Mall, but my eyes is having a hard time to open, and brain is trying its best to stay awake for the entire day. Actually, my body is already signaling me to sleep before going out. But well, i managed to trick my body (by night time) that i'm not sleepy. For my 扣肉包 craving at The Rail Mall, we are not going jb. haha. Kai bb ate a subway cookie, while i enjoy my 2 扣肉包 and a box of Korean kimbab.  Afterwards, we went Holland Village for a stroll. That's a new mall, it's pet-friendly and the rich people leashing their dogs around. It's nerve calming to stroll around this mall. Some dogs were leading the way, just like how popo lead us (pulled the leash) instead of following us during its daily morning/evening walks. People are not rushing unlike town area or any other busy neighbourhood areas. We ended the day at Goodburger (dinner) along Bukit Timah Road. Summing up the day with a vlog captured through the lens of my latest camera - Insta360 Go Ultra, a farewell gift by my colleagues and bosses <3

I used to give my best in all the work I do, no matter rainy or sunny, healthy or sick, as long as people ask for it, I will say ok as long as I can push myself. Being relax has not really been in my dictionary, taking care of myself and saying no to others is difficult and guilty. I have never come across that I'll be landed in this stage of burnout - and still pushing myself to produce results while my body keep sending me signals and I brushed it off again and again. The evident were undeniable. One day, I realized my brain can no longer process even the simplest thing that I can do at work. In my mind, I keep forcing myself to keep doing with every reason I can persuade myself to, but my body has shut down and over-ride my forte - brainwash. I have no energy to even speak, or to attend department team bonding events. It's a big red flag that I can no longer stay with this job scope anymore. The negligence of care from higher up, and the extreme and increasingly demanding job nature for a take home salary of just two-three thousands. It's not that I have not raised my concern that I need help. I did, and the bosses did not see how overwhelming this work has taken a toll on my health in all aspects and did nothing to ease my stress and workload. On surface, once in a while they will make a sweeping concern to check if I am coping well. If I say no, the response I get is only to manage my time well / take care. Meanwhile, I am still expected to get the work done on time, which means no rest no stop if I have to produce the same output. I care about the department, I love my colleagues... but I am not taken care of, and I am drained so empty to even support myself. I pushed myself before, just to protect the bosses from having to deal with additional stress coming down from above them. Perfect KPI, no complaints - What I got back in return is, I am not as competent as the rest because the complain emails/report that they are always concern about did not reflect my name. Probably it appears to them that I am not doing work. I did a lot, but I couldn't articulate. I wanted to stand up for myself, but I don't want to boost how hardworking I was. It was a quiet frame of how I presented myself to the world. I know as long as I did what I should do, clear of conscious, heavens is watching, and bosses will know too. (They are bosses, they "should" know, but I am naively wrong) These people are showing me the truths about politics, and I kept looking away. It was only from the exhaustion from the inner fight, red signal from my body or a spark of defiant, I decided that today I need to listen to my body. My mind has been so used to doing the "right" thing - that if I really need to rest, I must not skive and have to apply local leave; and if I have to apply leave to rest, I must finish my work first no matter how impossible it can be. I look at myself, judging why have I become like this. I spent so long dreading it, fearing that I am not being responsible to ethics and the company for giving me salary. But the reality, it is liberating. Taking the time to rest, without apply for official leave feels a kind of honesty, how much power in that choice to choose myself even though it is just for half day. This will be a turning point, a quiet rebellion against the story I'd been telling myself about what choosing myself first meant. Being responsible for others is not the only choice I have. I now see that I have another option - the power to choose myself. It's a quiet strength that's hard to explain until now I'm starting to feel it a bit. I don't want to stay there, allow them to define me. I want to step into the driver's seat of my own life. I won't lie - it is a big step and daunting. People will judge me, but there's freedom. I want to be that version of me that is unapologetic, that doesn't flinch at reflections or compliments. I want to start moving towards the direction in shaping what I have, not be defined by what I have lost. It might be slow, but now I am ready to take that step. To start taking care of myself, slowly adjusting my health back and to rewrite my story.

  They didn't get many tables, and we (liqin, xiaofang and ii) are lucky to get invited :) Kai bb came to pick me up at 5 and drove to Pan Pacific hotel for the dinner. Each dinner table is $2380, we got a shock haha. We reach just in time to be seated for Li Wen's and YeeXin's solemnization at 5.45pm. Took some videos but I couldn't capture it from good angle, so not posting it here. Maybe update the pics taken by Li Wen's photographer when she shares the pic with us next time. My vegetarian food pictures..  the dishes menu...

Catchup lunch with Cheryl at Novena D'life   Cheryl is able to eat normal portion now, wow! :D claps for her haha She even suggested to order side dish for sharing, and she finished her mee sua faster than me What a twist! Still tell me why now I eat so slow xD funny girl.. haha (Original Greens, 360 Balestier Road #04-07/K2, Shaw Plaza)  First time here at this shopping mall, nothing much in here We headed up direct to level 4 for Original Greens cafe It's not crowded, but the food waiting time is a little long I told bb that they are preparing meticulously for the best taste We were both so excited when the staff is walking towards us with our food haha Presentation looking so appetizing! High hopes for the taste.. But taste really not up to the standard as we expected.. or maybe should say, his expectation hahaha My portobello mushroom and his burger patty tasted the same haha that's his first disappointment Oh but his fries is really super nice.. nicer than macdonald :P After finishing our food, we give it another chance by trying out the aglio olio I ate most of it as he doesn't really fancy this taste, and i wasn't full yet If ask me to rate, i'll give 7/10 ★ not so bad la. Just that maybe it's targeted more for healthy/clean tastebud of customers I like this kind of healthy food too (other than 'heavy taste', basically everything), but he definitely cannot if he don't request for "no veggies" After makan dinner, we took a long stroll elsewhere.. cant remember where, shopped along the way, and then walked to Singapore River, and back to car and drive back home
