Glory to God!  I wanted to thank my Abba father for lowering my blood pressure and easing my anxieties over the weekend! Truly, no names are above His name!

My follow-up check on blood pressure was scheduled this morning. I went to bed at 9.30pm sharp last night, hoping I would get enough rest before the medical appointment. Nonetheless,  I was still mind battling on the whole “abnormal BP” ordeal. O Little faith Vicky!

The nurse warmly greeted me as I made my way to the counter, she advised me to come again at 2pm as there will be another doctor taking over the shift. Praise God! My heart wasn’t pounding as fast when I saw the new doctor. I felt calm and relaxed as she took my BP reading. This doctor was so careful enough to take BP reading from both my arms.

Now my medical report states all condition as NORMAL and GOOD! Yippppie!! I couldn’t wait to submit it to Human Resource Department for Employment Pass application process.

Thanks to all who have prayed for me. And above all, thank you Jesus!

It has been quite hectic days for me recently. Everything seems new to me while settling down. The transportation system, the food, the people here. Above all, the working culture here in Singapore alone can hunt you down already. You have to be fast to keep up to their pace. I seldom hear the “asap” word ‘cuz most likely the people are already working on your request while you blink.

I am still finding adjustment in this new organization. Frankly, I feel lost at times and more often than not, feeling nervous about the change. It’s not a gradual change where you can always fine tune in what you do and constantly improvise on your weakness. Wonder if I am competent to deliver results proving my worth here. Wonder if I can pass through the difficult season. No wonder my blood pressure shot up to 140/90 and was marked as “Abnormal” by the kind doctor.

Now, I don’t know if I give myself the pressure or I am pressured by the new change here.

Exciting or not? Do you want to give it a try?

Hello dear family and friends,

It’s no biggies to leave home. (eyes-rolling)

Thank you for spending time with me in the past few weeks. I appreciate each and everyone of you took time to fellowship with me. I know I will miss all of you.

Till then, please take care and I shall update you with my latest contact once I settled in the new job / company.

Please tell me you miss my hugs.

Today marks my last day of work in Kuala Lumpur. I shall commence my new role, based in Singapore in another 2 weeks time. That would also mean I am getting uprooted to work in a total strange place.

I was truly overwhelmed by some warm messages, emails and phone calls I received from business partners and friends, now. I must say I was very touched by this particular call from my big boss that he personally took time to speak to me and gave me his best wishes despite his hectic schedule. It was heart warming indeed. Many emails are still flowing in. Thank you, thank you for taking time to write back. I appreciate your thoughtfulness.

To my dear colleagues, I have certainly enjoyed the time we spent together. You’re like a bright shining star, looking after me and bringing me joy and laughters during my stay in this company. Oh boy, I was so pampered by you. I have been on marathon luncheons in Heritage Row alone for the past few weeks. Ask me about it.

Once again, thank you for sharing your friendship with me - making my world more beautiful and meaningful. You’ve made a difference in my life!
