Showing up daily is alr infinitely better than giving up. Press on.
Yes. Dun assume its close
Avoid victim mentality.
我不要了,也不追了
平平安稳最好
Stepping back reinforces a simple truth. Life is bigger than any role or title. Work matters, but it is only one part of a much fuller picture. Taking time away helps me return not just more rested, but more grounded in what truly matters.
Oh yes. Don't over glorify grit. Important yes, but many use it as a tool to gaslight.
False positivity doesn't help. But anyway, I love my wife! Yay!
I have my own story to write.
Insomnia: because apparently, 30s are for lying awake at 3AM stressing about emails you haven't even received yet.
Non-alcoholic wine: because sometimes you want to feel fancy and disappointed at the same time.
✨ i finally did a pull-up — for the first time in my life.
Not in the Army. Not in school. Not ever.
For years, it was this invisible wall I couldn’t get past.
Everyone else made it look easy — but no matter how hard I tried, my body just wouldn’t cooperate.
It became more than just a pull-up.
It became an insecurity. A quiet shame I carried through every gym session, every PT test, every “just try harder.”
I didn’t talk about it much. But it stayed with me.
And for 15 years, I believed I just wasn’t built for it.
But today, something shifted. I gritted my teeth. I pulled.
And I did it.
One clean, solid rep.
I still can’t explain exactly what changed — only that I stopped giving up on myself. I trained. I failed. I came back. Again and again. And today, I rose.
This isn’t just about strength.
It’s about rewriting a story I thought was set in stone.
To anyone who feels stuck — physically, mentally, emotionally:
It’s not too late.
You're not too far.
And that thing you’ve never done?
You can.
Even if it takes 15 years.
只要你不要看扁你自己,就没有人可以看扁你

When Career Progression Feels Like a Joke
Career growth should be about taking on challenges and being recognized for contributions. But sometimes, despite doing everything “right,” you find yourself stuck in a system that seems designed to hold you back.
That’s where I am now.
I took a three-month no-pay break to study data science, hoping to grow and gain new skills. When I rejoined my company at a lower job grade, I wasn’t too concerned—I wasn’t chasing titles, just opportunities to apply what I’d learned. I figured if I did good work, the rest would follow.
Then came the restructuring. It worked in my favor, and I was ready for bigger challenges. I landed a role that aligned with my past experience and the level of work I was already handling.
But here’s where it gets absurd. After securing the role, the company decided I had to serve my time at the lower grade for two years before being considered for the level I was already hired into.
I get that promotions take time. I don’t expect shortcuts. But it’s frustrating to take on responsibilities, deliver results, and still be told to wait—not because of performance, but because of policy. If impact doesn’t matter, what does?
I don’t care much about job grades. They don’t define my work or growth. But let’s be honest—it’s unfair when rigid rules hold people back despite proving themselves.
Still, I won’t let this define me. If the system is slow, I’ll keep moving forward—whether in this company or elsewhere.
Side note: My appraisal feedback? Focus on public speaking. I get that it’s an important skill, but after months of effort, it felt a little underwhelming.
At the end of the day, titles and processes take their time. Real growth happens in the work itself. And that’s what I’ll keep focusing on.
I am devastated
