Is taking a career break risky or is it worth it?

I have been through seasons where I felt taking a career break is risky.

Staying Woke as an employee

I was just reading this post by The Woke Salaryman. I believe that there is much insight to be gleaned from this comic as I have been on the path of being self-employed wholly some seasons and on the side of being an employee ranging from small businesses to large government agencies.

What is kindness?

To a large extent I believe there is kindness in the community. Somehow, with Covid-19 being one of the biggest mental health challenges, I felt that there is a greater awareness of displaying kindness in the workplace and to vulnerable communities like the migrant workers.

My final Capstone presentation ended well, I can get to close a chapter of rehearsals and project work without any dent to my mental health. I think six months of trying to figure out what a professional events industry practitioner does is quite an adventure if taken in the right spirit. I try not toContinue reading “Final Capstone Project”

Six months of Self-fulfilling Journey

I stuck it out with a new virtual events and production programme for close to six months. I had a steep learning curve as my knowledge of virtual events and production is close to primitive. It felt surreal that my mind is still functional and with all the technical information swimming about to ward offContinue reading “Six months of Self-fulfilling Journey”

Life is like a roller coaster ride

I think life can really be challenging at times where what is exhilarating or exciting can slide into a threat. On a stress meter, it can be difficult to guage from being in the comfort zone one moment and then transit out to another stage of growth that feels exciting. By going for training earlierContinue reading “Life is like a roller coaster ride”

Happy 57th Birthday Singapore

I used to go out on National Day to celebrate by visiting the sights and sounds of the city. This year I am more introspective as I felt that some solitude moments spent in reading will help me listen to my heart 💓 to know what my heartbeat for Singapore is. I am glad thatContinue reading “Happy 57th Birthday Singapore”
