> Because life's too short.


Last Wednesday, I stayed up all night tossing and turning, and then come morning, I drove to work with a personal resolve in mind. Five minutes before my conference call with the regional office at 10am, I tendered my resignation letter to the MD of Southeast Asia.

It would be a lie to say that I don't harbour mixed feelings about leaving Fleishman-Hillard. I know it's been a strong growing platform learning from this global network, and the colleagues' are the bomb. But change is inevitable everywhere, and one thing's for sure, I know I made the right decision, and that morning, I felt so free. It's important to stress, it's not that I'm unhappy working at Fleishman. FHKL has a great working culture and I've grown to really love this family that I work with. And this is so NOT my PR answer, ok? ;) Of course, complaints about work will always be there, but who doesn't? At the end of the day, my ex-bosses Ku and Joyce, and Jon my ex-manager, have been awesome. And I sayang them to bits. :) But why do I wanna leave? That's pretty personal so I won't elaborate much.



So it'll be about three more weeks working in this messy workspace of mine. I'll miss the mess, the colourful post-it-notes from my colleagues that they leave when I'm on holidays and long meetings; those "ET... where are you?" notes, my paperclip war with island mates (cubicle mates) Tze and Faz. And the piles of clients' news clippings. And Nosey the hippo and 'Chak' the dog sitting on top. :) And the little things, of 6pm Affirmation Girl Talk, "don't touch me's", secret clanky emails and all those memories bundled to make my FH working experience, I'll miss all of it.

Then the first thing I wanna do on my first day of unemployment: cuddle in bed and watch The Lion King :)

Talk about taking that leap of faith. Lord, it's gonna be scary, yet I can't explain this feeling of assurance. And to the few whom I share my worries and thoughts with, thanks for keeping up with me. You know who you are.



"i wake up every morning, smiling yet on my toes, not knowing what the future holds, yet excited and holding my breath for what God has in store for me. it feels so damn good. :)"
