Little Victories
On this extremely stressful Friday, I just want to be thankful and remember some little blessings and victories:
1) For finding an elusive Hani translator online and getting the job done quick and good.
2) For finding an ex-student, sweet Duc who sat down for 7 hours straight with me to translate the nightmare of a week's worth of Vietnamese interviews. Even when I almost gave up, he didn't. Thank you for your remarkable attitude and for making my day when you thanked me for being the first person in your life to pay you a salary!
3) The mighty little red ants, especially dear Kang Li, for helping me produce the six slideshows and lifting off a huge weight on my chest.
4) Jeanette for buying me lunch on a stressful Friday, and for the familiarity of it all.
5) Iggy for being with me every step of the way. No day no night for me, no day no night for you.
6) Emails of encouragement from people who matter
7) Xinyi and Pi, I would not have made it without you. And my sweet friends scattered all over.
8) Jony for ensuring my house is a home (Food).
9) Mike Tze for so many things, that led to even more things.
10) My mum and dad for imparting their tenacity to me, and teaching me that passion matters, a lot.
Crazy work week, character building.
Whatever it is, I know it's all going to be worth it.
