2019? Gone already?

Oops, that was 2019.

What had been accomplished?  Well...

I started with a trip to Shanghai for i4.0 gap analysis, but the whole crap just turned out in vain.  I still remember my Line President complained I wasted his 18 minutes just for introduction with (as if) everything he knew.  The take-back, however, was the chance to meet with that inspiring team and the interaction with them reminded me I am a professional engineer, not like those so-called "engineers" on 3/F.

Then all of a sudden I was sent to Bangladesh without knowing exactly why, what and how before boarding onto the plane.  I supposed my team had completed what the mission of the trip as written in the project definition email, but that "IE(?) AGM", without solid project goal, scope and plan, had many out of the box thoughts and endless extensions, which I and my team fork cared.  And my return trip was awkward, traveling with Mr. & Mrs. Lo, A Lo, D Wong and I Chow.  A Lo's comment about production management just told me he is incompetent and simply a baka.

Ya, I tried to resign and managed to get an offer from a precision metal components manufacturer in Zhongshan, but the package was just not attractive as expected.  Somehow I regretted turning it down later after some time.

I was committed with more operations exposure and IECP opportunities for my stay, but in turn I was actually given more chances to expose myself and act on my boss' behalf handling all HR sheep - CEO meeting, GE & LEA, Trainee Program, Associate Union, and so many misc jobs and tasks that left me with almost nothing in mind.  I just felt so sickening for what I had done since my stay decision made.

Ya, my 2 Associates left.  Thank God and mercies for them; wishing them best of luck after leaving this landfill.  Also, as of 12/31, 19 under me had gone in these 2 years.

I fell really sick in July and supposed that was my first time being hospitalized in public ward.  Why I deserved my night there?  By the way my hearing got worsen by virus infection after my BD trip.

What had I done in the last quarter?  I could not really remember, just those jokers and their stupidity.  Oh ya, I visited Yida and Martin; time to go lah...

The best part of 2019 definitely was our family trip to Singapore.  It had been so many years since I thought about going there with my child and family, showing her my schools and my used-to-be there.  Too bad I could not meet up with all my 3 buddies and their families there; but thankfully Danny spent his time and tried to take care for us since we touched ground.

Hunting for secondary school reminded me my time.  Jokes and anxiety.

Romance was not impressive anymore; it was turning into something too stable.  Not much to discover, but to get used to.  The trip to CM was great but almost turned out like our SG trip.  In short, again, never expect too much so to get hurt less.

New adventure, my LIVE HOUSE!  BR done; logo registration on the way.  Problems with opening a bank account.

What's next?  No doubt getting a new job that I am comfortable with.

I also saw my need of my own space and zone.

I am getting old and time to plan for something sustainable.

I probably could not get a second life/chance, but I definitely can improve things around me to make my life better.

Bye 2019, hopefully 2019 would not repeat ever after.
