I will support you no matter what
Too much backlog, too much work, too much stress, too many deadlines. I have been losing sleep and appetite. I have been visiting the toilets more often than usual. They are like the TNB symptoms just that they seem to be of a larger scale. I wanna QuiT. I don't care even if I haven't found any job. I can't cope anymore. I wanna QUIT.
.
So I told Albert and asked him if he will support my decision if I really tender my resignation. He went on about telling me not to be rash. It is not easy to survive in 'the world' out there, not easy to earn my kind of salary too. Since I am paid to work, I just need to do my job. Then I told him that I think I am doing a few persons' jobs at a time and I am stressed and I can't cope. He went on about stress; I should prioritise my work and learn to cope with stress. I should talk to my colleagues. Then I replied that Fang wanna quit too. Then he went 'Don't be rash lah, think twice'.
.
I know that Albert has been through alot. He knows 'the world' out there better than me. I know that I shouldn't be rash. I also know I should not only think twice, but think thrice and many times, since he is not drawing much income for the past 5-6 years. I know I shouldn't be quitting without a job. 我都知道 ...
.
But he doesn't know that I don't need to hear anything about 'the world' out there. I don't need to be told what my job scope is. He doesn't know that I really wanna hear from him is that he will support my decision, no matter what. He doesn't know that these few words can mean alot to me.

n though i dun regret resigning... jus wanna say as a 'guo lai ren' dat it would be a good idea if u at least have an idea regarding wat ya next move is... b4 u tender...
actually... i believe albert will support ya decision... n u'll manage to work things out for yaself...
cheer up ok...
I remeber me being very scared about telling albert I wanna quit my temp job. Temp job can be quite stressful , esp when the pay doesn't compensate that amount of stress.
Albert is a very traditional Chinese man.
Who fortuantely believes in giving his children the best, providing them with good education, support his children with tuition to coop in studies, so that his children will be able to survive in the society and fit to stand on their OWN two feet in life.
His traditional views also includes, one cannot be jobless or "wu shuo si si"...
I remember you telling me how relieved Albert was, when he knew that I found a job in BJ.
But i think he is quite upset (not used to the idea) to know that I don't know what to work, or don't seem like I want to work when I move out of BJ. He thinks I wasting my years of education and his efforts.
Albert told me u r stressed and asked me to see how I can try to be less of a bitch to you.
And Alice told me u wanna quit.
I told alice, quit lor, she was shocked and she asked me, Then do what?.
Then I said there's surely something good and useful about working in this organisation for so long. Moreover, i believe being careful wt money, there should be enuff to tide u for awhile.
I think.
U see lor... weigh your options carefully b4 making a decision.
Being very traditional Chinese, we also do not openly say I LOVE U to one another in the family, even though we love each other deep deep.
I think Albert's support and love comes in a different manner, like waiting up for u, with your favourite sashimi.
And Alice support u by changing the sheets complete wt a new protector, so that u can come home and rest immead. on ur new matteress.
I support u by helping to lift that heavy matteress.
Maybe take a long leave, by PRETENDING u r on the verge of breakdown. heeheee!!!
I will support you and the Family.
