World peace

So much has happened, be it around the world or in office. Terrorist attacks in mumbai resulting in a fellow singaporean dead, bangkok airports forced to shut down causing 300+ of my colleagues stuck. Closer to me was the retrenchment exercise. Something that management promised not to do earlier but now eating back on their own words. Our dept is probably one of the only ones facing a shortage of employees right now as it's our super peak season. In fact, we're busy borrowing staff from Shenzhen, Wuhan and Shanghai to help out. However, we still had to follow the company's initiative and retrench 10%. People in the middle of projects were called back to office, just to be informed that their last day is Friday. Just when is world peace really happening? All those bimbos who proclaim world peace in pagents, where are they now?

I had been quite emotional last week, losing sleep every night because of things that happened. People preach that things happen for a reason. So i stay up almost every night thinking about the reason. Yet, I come to no conclusion. Especially when i know i'm next on the retrenchment list given that i'm an expat. Shanghai office had already removed 70% of their expats during this retrenchment exercise.

I'm now at the time in my life when u take a step back n take a look at what u've done so far and then decide where to head next. Am i in the right direction? Or have i gone so far astray that there's no turning back? With so much spinning in my head, i decided to head back to singapore for the weekend and kill all my thoughts with sitex n my new car. But now that i'm heading back to beijing, the thoughts start storming into my head like a whirlpool. I only hope that i can catch some sleep tonight.
