*WHOA!*

i had insomnia last night
But today.. im so so so thankful
So thankful for GOD's favor

Morning I came in, after being awake from 2 -5am...
I know we are getting our performance bonus and increment letters today...
but heck, i was so tired
and i saw this email by our DD

Dear Esther,
I am pleased to inform you that your Performance Bonus (PB), Growth Bonus
(GB) and Merit Increment (MI) awards are above the norm.As PB is considered based on individual performance and relative ranking,the awards would differ each year.You have done well. Keep up the good work.
Best regards,


I was like WHOA.. above the norm leh, Not bad sia. But predicting like at the most few hundred dollars above others
Den my boss emailed to say there were only 7 senior officers in our department who got this above norm thingy...
Well its stilll a long way before promotion for me...but this is like the next best thing.

2 officers, about 6 yrs into the job, got promoted this time... hahah means I keep this up and still have 4 yrs to go?

ok la
i was still expecting a max 4K bonus onli... until at the end of the day
DD hands me my letter


I GOT CLOSE TO $9K BONUS!!!!!!!
WAH LAO!!!!

and my salary hit a Landmark figure
meaning to say in <2 years, my salary had jumped $1K

i knew my performance was not bad for last year because of the award winning event, but i thought it will be dismissed as rubbish or something....
Anyway me and my sisters exchange letters all the time. I know i really got a crazy lot more than they did. talking thousands of dollars difference
I kind of feel bad, but i know they are sincerely happy for me, cos they know my circumstances and how hard i work

But most most most importantly
Thank you Lord for all these, the favor, the opportunities, the environment
i know im bad, sometimes i curse this job, or i whine
but Thank You Lord.
