Retreat

I have been extremely busy this week. Besides helping in Isa's preparation for her Continual Assessment, I have to work extra hours as my boss has to attend various meeting.

Like other companies, my office held its annual Retreat at Marina Barriage recently. This was my second time being to this place. Much has changed especially the southern skyline as the Integrated Resort at Marina Bay was closed to completion.

A retreat is not a day off from work but a day from the office. Our big boss shared his 3 R - Relax, Reflect and Recharge.

Yes, with such a beautiful skyline, comfortable conference room and the delicious tea-breaks plus lunch, this place is good for relaxatuion.

When we relax, our mind can think better and should not this be the time to reflect ourselves?

Reflect what we have done for the last financial year in the office and home, identify the areas we have done well and give ourselves a pat on the shoulders, note the areas which we did not do well or could have done better, take actions on them during this year.

Knowing our strengths and weaknesses, having a wonderful time to recharge, it is time for a new financial year ie a new change.

Yes, I look forward to my posting even though it would mean changes to my current lifestyle. My big boss (lady) has been willing to listen to my concerns when I am posted over. With this, I should be in good hands and can contribute more to my office.
