Challenging 2014

2014 thus far has been pretty challenging. First half of the year juggling with my dissertation and worked on the rebranding campaign, thankfully survived! Followed by organizing the major launch event within 2 months plus, plus overseas trade events. In the midst of madness at work, also planned for wedding, including booking of banquet venue and bridal package without much research. Frankly, when I looked back now, I wonder how I did it! Haha...amazing year indeed!

Though its already July now but I am still busy with upcoming activities for the rest of the year. I really wonder when is my break really coming? If its the bridal shot period in end Sep, I think my battery won't last me that long looking at the situation now. Recently, I have been feeling tired and unable to focus, last week had sudden heart palpitations and tight chest. I was thinking was it due to stress at work? Last few nights, I have been waking up in the middle of the night suddenly thinking of what has not been done at work. Its definitely not a good sign, I guess I need to manage this better so that it will not affect my health. Strongly believe that nothing is more important than a pink health. Need to maintain healthy and kick myself to do some exercise!

Good news this year include arrival of my second cutie niece Valerie Ng, 3.11kg on 3 July 2014, same birthday as her sister Theresa. Amazing arrangement by coincidence as both babies were born naturally. I guess we will be having big birthday party for the 2 girls from next year onwards. :) Glad to see that Theresa is handling well for the new addition to the family and mum is coping well being the confinement lady for sis this time. The least I can do is to help sis to get things she need and visit them on weekends to see my mum, sis and two nieces. :D Tiring but definitely help me get out of work mode.

Another good news to share is I have finally completed my MBA in July 2014, delighted to know that I have attained it with distinction as I was in fact quite worried that my dissertation didn't meet the mark to get a good grade. Grateful that all is over and next is to wait for my convocation in Nov this year! Wheee~~~ Maybe should consider taking a family portrait again since there are 2 new additions to the family and I hope to take couple graduation photo with MP. Without his encouragement and help, I would not have completed my dissertation too. The journey has been tough but definitely rewarding. Though I know getting a MBA will not get me anywhere in the job I am doing,  I still didn't regret going through that and paying 30k for a MBA. After all..I have ticked an item off my bucket list now.  Next life milestone will my wedding in June 2015, bring it on!
