HAHA it was only in February 2025 that it dawned on me that I had not started reflecting on the previous year, something that I had diligently done for the last what, 20 years or something? Dragging myself to maintain this regime now, I mean how can I not, it was 2024 the year I TURN 40!?
First things first: After action review of Goals for 2024!
- GAIN 2KG
DID NOT ACHIEVE. Well it's not a failure nor sth to feel disappointed over haha. I have my good genes to thank.
- DO SOMETHING OUT OF MY COMFORT ZONE
I DID NOT REALISE I HAD SET THIS GOAL UNTIL NOW, SIGH.
- CELEBRATE 10 YEAR WEDDING ANNIVERSARY (by celebrate I mean like spend the day special and memorable)
An unforgettable 5 days of me-and-you-only in Taiwan we did! =D
- CELEBRATE MY TURNING 40 WTFFFFFFFF
NOTHING TO SHOUT ABOUT but I am adequately contented of my family, my health, my job security and my life on the whole.
What did I accomplish in 2024?
- Awarded Phase 2 tender, the final piece of the puzzle and the biggest. Worked many late nights to expedite seeking variation in budget from IAA through MCM, AM and MOT.
- Completed Phase 1A, like FINALLY. A huge rock that has been hanging from my chest since Aug 2021, was finally, finally let go. The beauty was that this was achieved before Phase 2 commencement (by god's grace), was the best testament to the reason why we barged and pulled off the contract novation in Nov 2023. A major accomplishment which I led was the cut-and-joint connection from existing to new domestic and fire tank and pumps! I think there wasn't a better person in the team to do it, with my prior experience and network in M&E and the maintenance contractor. Owing to the works that were intentionally scheduled after office hours to avoid disruption to ops, I burnt weekends and late nights to supervise and update the progress of works, motivate the workers (bought them snacks and drinks cos no F&B establishments nearby) and also helped resolved when the planned works bizarrely halted water supply to the canteen! When the as-built plans were only as good as half a clue, we had to innovate another connection joint to temporarily resolve the problem whilst there was still light. Imagine the horror, when after hours of work and sweat, I turned on the tap in the canteen and out poured MILK TEA!!! 😱 HAD I NOT CHECKED...!??!?! It took us 40 mins with all the water points running before the water finally flushed clear... on the contrary, thankfully, the sprinkler and hydrant systems were completed without much fanfare.
- A first overseas by-flight holiday with my family! Man, so many beautiful and wonderful memories!!!
