This year, I went from being employed by a multinational company to be an employer of a multinational staff.
From renting a house for as long as I can remember, to actually owning one.
And soon enough, from being a single lady, to a married woman.
All in a year's time, in seconds of signing contracts, giving cheques, sending emails, saying 'I do'.
Wow. Talking about big changes in life.
But I guess each of us need to move one at any point of our lives. I just never imagine all these things will happen in a single year!
As exciting *and overwhelming* as these new things can be, I can't help but fearing that when all the dust settles and I go back to the ordinary pace of life, I'll be:
a. Overwhelmed of trying to adapt to these new status/changes in my life.
b. Be bored to death and start searching for more thrill as if it's normal.
Either one, one thing's for sure... I can't go on without His grace and guidance.
So as I hang my consultant cap and easing myself to the unknown world of entrepreneurship, I whisper abundant thanks to the One above and a prayer.
For strength, for wisdom.
For grace, for humility.

In Retrospect
Here I am in Chevron House, sitting facing Singapore river in the midst of high rise buildings surrounding Raffles Place.
I just read through my old emails sent since I was still in US, and those that I got when I first came to Singapore. And I couldn’t help but to give thanks to God. In any situation, I really can see that He is enlarging my capacity and always trusting me with greater things, be it in my career, relationship and my life. It’s amazing if you look back and see the distance you’ve traveled so far.
We’re often caught up in the heat of the moment and often forgot that after we passed those moments, they won’t come back. Of course I miss US and the work, people and things that I used to do and meet there… however, I’m glad that I’m no longer there. I’m glad that moved forward. I’m glad that I’m in another place, and most importantly, I’m glad that now I’m here.
