I am always thankful having u as my RO
More work to do (compared to last time)....but I am never alone....thanks for always supporting us and being around.
==============
Words from ST. Some small motivation to keep going. Glad I have good colleagues & teammates to keep me sane amidst the rubbish that comes sometimes....
Jiayou Michelle!
Maybe I need to 冲花水
One complaint case last week. 2 this week. So many angry, self-entitled people around who are quick to flare up or jump to conclusions which lead to misunderstandings and misconstrued intentions.
Yesterday's complaint case is hopefully resolved. But it has dug up a can of worms which we did not know about for 1.5 years. Can of worms is being addressed at the moment.
Today's case took up so much of our time. I hope our proposed solution works for both parties and the case can be resolved by tomorrow. Didn't realise my stomach was tensed up till I left my home work desk for dinner.
Patience tested as well. Glad I have my teammates around to handle some of these together with me.

What does not kill you makes you stronger....
But 也不要这样 leh....给老娘一点喘气的机会好吗？
I'm resistant to changes. Call me 古板, 固执 or suaku....but yeah, I don't use things like Apple Pay, Google Pay, Grab Pay. I don't use e-credit cards. I don't use SimplyGo on my mobile either.
For the longest time I did not have the Singpass app as well, till I was forced to download it cos of some banking procedures.
Just don't feel comfortable having so many things on the mobile. Yes, it's convenient but it's ok...I'll live with some of these traditional methods...
Snippets of stuff in the last couple of weeks
==============
Gum issues
Right lower back, then right upper back.
Been using antiseptic mouthwash for more than a week. I really hope right upper back gets well soon. I don't wish to go for another round of deep gum cleaning. Cos...painful like shit.
==============
Got my way (but erm...not really too?)
On a work issue where I managed to push my position and remove our hotline number from invoices...somewhat thankful.
But not so thankful that a boss has suggested something big and hinted (thankfully only to myself so far) that I take the lead in handling it as a FY26 work project.
AI agentic chatbot to handle our hotline queries.
救命啊!!!!!! No idea what to do or how to handle.
==============
National Day Parade
We managed to keep our tradition and watch the parade this year. As a family of 4, huddled in K & my room, on our bed. :)
And we sang the national anthem and said the pledge together again too. :)
==============
Work
Most challenges from the June/July period have been settled. I am thankful & grateful for those who helped, especially the colleague from Legal assigned to advise/assist our team. Grateful too for SP whom I spent some time disturbing though he was away in Malaysia for a short trip.
There were other irksome moments like having to deal with a colleague who is always clueless and trying to smoke/muddle her way through things. But still thankful for having a bunch of other colleagues who are there to hustle together through various issues.
==============
Mahjong
Had 2-3 short & simple mahjong sessions on some of the Saturday evenings when we went over to Adrian's place. Mum's the one who is gian I think. :D :D under the guise of teaching her grandson how to play lol....
I'm happy for these family times...and at least I get to hone my rusty mahjong skills abit.
