I just came back from a family trip to Sibu 3 days ago. 7 days later, I'm departing for Bali with weiqing, weiquan and jianqiang. Blessed to have travel opportunities.
I really thank God for everything that I have now. A future to look forward to, a family who's ever so supportive and caring, friends who genuinely care, a job that gives me space to grow.

Ronnie RIP
After approx 9 months of fighting cancer, Ronnie passed away peacefully at 11.25pm on 19 August 11.
A person who never minces his words, a person filled with so much perseverance. He holds much pride in his mahjong skills; am so optimistic even with a close encounter with death. Even when his cancer cells kicked in after stemcell transplant, he remained focused on eating more so that he will gain weight for chemotherapy.
I regret procrastinating my visit to him. I thought having many visitors around will affect his breathing, either that or he will need rest and cant possibly wait for me to reach there.
I prayed, if it's in God's plans, please let the pain end. but I didnt expect... that the pain will end so quickly.
This should teach me to treasure life, and to treasure my family more.
Ronnie, you will be sorely missed.

To date
so much had happened over the past 2 years. Got out of a r/s that isn't going anywhere. Finally took a long overdue step towards Christ. One of the best decisions ever made.
I'm still in the same office, in a different role now and moving on to another role soon. It's amazing that once I step out of the previous comfort zone, opportunities just popped up. I used to be down thinking when will I ever have chances to move on to something bigger, something better. Perhaps fear played a part in holding me back. Well, guess I have to just keep moving on in life progressively. I do not want to be stuck mulling over things again and become unappreciative of life when I, in fact, had everything that people will yearn for.
People. come and go.
I think I got used to friends leaving. Colleagues-turned-friends leaving the company. James came and left. The sadness doesn't stay around long anymore and I know that they will be happy pursuing their next stage of life. I feel happy for them. Life is too short to be living the life that others will like you to live.
This led me to think about migrating, an idea I had 4 years back. When more is at stake now, this idea seems harder to crystallize. Is staying in SG still feasible for the next 20 years for my family - with the ideology that I nurture my future kids personally? In the past, I will say no. But after the recent election, well, I will just have to wait and see.
Friendships with rbl ppl just grew stronger, esp after ronnie had a critical period last year, and james staying in SG for a while. Bball sessions were organized and the feeling of belongingness came back. playing tgr, laughing tgr. :)
