Finding myself in the lost world..

Back from the Land..

[1:43 am]

Still suffering from the effects of jet-lag after two days.

But I enjoyed this business trip tremendously. It was sort of a good break away from the heavy workload back home. Even though I was on a business trip, there was still time for me to relax, to do nothing but walk on the beach, with the waves lapping my feet - something I had not done for a while.

This country, despite its long history of conflicts, has never cease to impress me with her resilence and "can-do" attitude. Seriously, the thought of staying there for a year or so did occur to me ever since my trip last year. If ever there's an opportunity to be seconded over there, I will consider taking it up.

On another note, whenever I am on an overseas trip, my thoughts will drift to S. I wonder how she is at this moment and whether she has changed for the better or for the worse.

Why is it so difficult to forget someone after so long?

I wonder if down the road, it will affect my future relationships? Will my future spouse be able to tolerate me storing S in my heart, where, on special occasions I can reminisce about?

But will it be fair to my future spouse?

Mad week!!!

[3:49 pm]

It's been a madhouse week; scrambling here and there, fighting the never-ending bushfires that pops up out of nowhere. It was so bad that I made some unacceptable mistakes, which the bosses understand due to my workload.

The amount of late nights I have pulled thus far have left me drained and will only get worse. Sometimes I wished I can be like an octopus, with many hands to multi-task simultaneously. Even with an upcoming business trip later, which I should excited about, I am still stressed out by many taskings.

But at least it was balanced out by having some chillout drinks with my uni-friends and J. The former was a sending off session for my friend who would be going over to Perth for his SIA flying training. The latter was somewhat unexpected, something which will happen once-in-a- blue moon type.

Over drinks, we caught up with the happenings for the past weeks (didn't chat with her online due to the ever-increasing workload). We avoided the upsetting episode but went on with other issues that derived from it. I was told that the whole family, lock-stock-barrel, have a good impression of me and the parents has labelled me a "potential-husband-for-my-daughter" material.

Duh...

This is somewhat surprising, coming from her..maybe the effects of the 1.5pints of Hoegaarden was doing its effects. I felt that even the whole family has a good impression of me, one cannot force love upon someone else. I can do so much, but in the end, if she don't feel anything for me, then its of no use.

Oh well, like they say, let nature takes its course, if its meant to be yours, it will be yours.

Ok, time to go take a quick nap before packing my bags for a week-long business trip.

Should I?

[9:37 pm]

Now I am in a dilemma of some sorts. No, not in love..(I wished..haha)..but rather in my career.

You see, my big boss spoke to me the other day with regards to my appraisal for last year. As the story goes, my appraisal was something beyond my expectations and I am expected to be promoted in grade come July this year.

My boss told me that the organisation has been very satisfied with my performance so far and that if I maintained my current standards, I will be a branch head by the time I retire-that is if I really stay. He added that, compared to my cohort, I belong to the high-achiever group and that I have been earmarked for further studies before I take on the role of department head.

With such a outstanding career in front of me, should I leave when my bond is over?
