✨ Highlights of the Week
i haven't been so busy for quite a while, damn, it was such a productive week! a few nights, i stayed up alone in the office, pouring in some extra effort just to complete things. one of the biggest accomplishments was finishing my self-review for 2024. writing down reflections on each project i worked on really made me pause and think deeply.
while writing my self-review on key outputs, i realised how much i've participated in, but at the same time, i can't help but feel like i could have done more. it wasn't about slacking off, but how some tasks seemed almost too easy compared to my past experiences. don't get me wrong though—what i mean by "easy" is that it was less challenging in terms of technical knowledge.
thinking back to project H (let's keep it hashed for confidentiality), i remember how overwhelming it was at the start. the requirements were straightforward when i look at them now, but back then? oh boy, it was another story entirely. the business chinese jargon? it felt like my brain hit a complete blank.
as someone raised in malaysia, speaking chinese, switching to malay in secondary school, and then studying in singapore for three years before settling here for over seven... let's just say my language system got a serious workout. juggling those languages while trying to grasp the project requirements? yeah, it was intense. i felt so out of my depth.
when i look back at it now, (yes, i'm smiling 🥹), jinghui, you’ve come so far. you did so well! even those late nights staying up until 4am, panicking about whether you'd make the deadline... you still made it. all the mistakes you made during each project? they're the reason you are where you are today.
that realisation hit me deeply this week. it's moments like these that remind me of why i push myself—to grow, to overcome, and to keep building my confidence.
🥰 Memories
