Time has comes round again for that dreadful anniversary that I and quite a few others rather forget but the fact remains that it will always be there for us no matter how we wanna deal with it. So I just have to stay positive and hope for the best.
Fortunately despite the unpleasantness that July brings, there is still the big joyous occasion of kiddo's birthday today. Took leave today together with wifey and kiddo called the shots since morning with a hearty breaky with my mum and dad before sending his off for his wushu CCA and then it's me and wifey's pak toh time at our fav kway chap stall at Dunman Hawker Centre. Well thought I could spent some quiet time back home but wifey got called back to work and so it's me and housework time. Bummer....
Well at least I managed to keep myself busy from checking work emails, ha! It has been a busy week with at least 3 offsite presentations and even when I'm in office, it's back to back meetings cause I have to roll out 5 major projects by the end of the year and I have yet to get my new Exec. Nonetheless most of the projects are going smoothly and staying out of the way of the other nasty colleagues. Actually they aren't nasty to begin with but I guess they are just strong characters that always expect others to see things their way or understand them more.
In life whether at work or at among your acquaintances, there is always such people. Such people will always say that you are emo, not religious, stubborn, impatient, stressed up, yada yada, etc etc. but the fact remains such viewpoints and feelings are very personal. For e.g, I feel very strongly about bad driving cause I'm very passionate about road safety and driving skills, so I personally take offence when others tell me that why I'm so bothered by it, why it always happens to you or is it your driving style? The fact remains that I shared the story with you cause I believe you can appreciate what I have to share and what I'm dealing with but for you to criticise me for something I know best, this is ridiculous . Sorry I ain't one that shut my mouth for anyone's benefit cause if I see some injustice or I have an opinion I speak my mind. I'm not calling myself a SME (subject matter expert) on some of these things but do feel free to convince me not criticise, please. Everyone is entitled to one's opinion. Perhaps, politically in Singapore, most of us who have an opinion about things are being shut out by many others who only know how to criticise as they felt that is the societal norm. Well perhaps it's gonna be another time for a greater awakening in the next election??
Life is short and for someone like me that has gotten a 2nd chance I ain't gonna remain suppressed just because I care more about other people's thinking than my own. It's not just my right but also my entitlement to be myself and speak my mind. So if one don't like it then walk away and have no part to be in my life, I would respect you for that rather than be a hypocrite in front of me and yet turn around and speak ill of me behind my back to others. Frankly, what goes around comes around. The world is just too short of listeners cause everyone wants to talk.
So to those who can't stand me then please walk away as I would be thankful to you. For those that stood by me and hear me out, you definitely is a keeper. Well food for thought indeed as we are all in the driver seat of our live. Okay, that it for this post and now the washing machine beckons and getting ready soon for kiddo's birthday dinner later. Cheers!
