Reflections, in COVID-19 times

Turns out I’ve a knack for poetry, (or a general appreciation towards wordplay and puns?):

Useless and aimless,

Wish to contribute more,

We’re just somebody nameless,

Intensity begging for no more,

Thought maybe it could be due to time,

So let’s continue attempting this climb.

Been feeling kind of down lately, in terms of my aims, goals and my work. I’ve been questioning whether this career in communications is something that I enjoy and am satisfied with. I appreciate the challenge of the job, but am uncertain if I could keep it up for long. It includes a late nights, managing stakeholders, and rushing to clear replies within a a day. In hindsight, I do feel this way in the beginning for each new posting I’m in. It may be a no biggie in the end.

My aims and goals in my personal life also feels uncertain. Is it due to Covid-19? Is is a lack of self esteem? Is it just me being lazy? I guess I just have to trust the process and be a little more positive!

Circuit Breaker told us to work from home,

Like living under a dome,

Still proud of SG’s efforts as a caregiver,

Alas netizens are still a heartbreaker.

There have been many media articles detailing what went wrong and what went right in Singapore’s efforts to curb COVID-19. Like this and this. Some are biased reports, while some are balanced. I wish Singaporeans could just stop complaining about every single thing, and be open-minded. There are so many considerations behind that one single policy, and I’m sick of reading comments that exemplify their narrow-mindedness.
