It's been a hot minute

As SMT rightly pointed out - i am a highly distracted individual and this is evidenced by the lack of a post for close to a year.

Since then, I turned thirty and work has changed 180 and then 360 back to square one.

I often question whether leaving practice when I did was the right call. Truth be told, I don't think I should have - I enjoyed the work, the team and heck, even the firm. I did it preemptively knowing that I wouldn't enjoy the BD aspect of practice - which on hindsight was sth i could have just stalled on.

Mark however often begs to differ and points out that my venture into tech has proven fruitful, not for our bank accounts, but in terms of career/ worldly/ industry experience and well - the crazy number of people I've met along the way all around the world. I now have contacts in Texas, Japan, Ldn, and Poland -which is kinda crazy given how Sg-specific my life was prior to this adventure.

As usual, I have an immensely delayed reaction to everything that has transpired over the last 2 months. Work-wise, a lot has been turned on its head and I'm back to figuring out where I am, who I should be and what I should do - and it's really only all sinking in today.

So this is a reminder to myself that:

- whatever it is, I am incredibly blessed to have the family that I do - dogs and helpers included - and incredible friends and lucky to know that if this alone defines my life, I am fulfilled.

- all that's said and done, I actually took a leap of faith and launched a regulated business in Singapore. I tend to undermine my value or input but I am reminded time and again that for 9 months I survived on coffee, frowns and a lot of laughter and in pure admiration of how brilliant my colleagues were.

- writing inane and stupid posts like these keep me sane.
