这是，第二次了。虽然都是同一件事，但感觉与反应却截然不同。

Well, I did it again – twice in a year. 2 months ago, I never thought this would happen. Well, things in life are always the least expected, 天有不测之风云，真的是世事难料. Never would I ever think that things will pan out this way.

Perhaps, Christmas did lift the mood somehow. Perhaps, it was just the place. There was much less nervousness this time round, with my team leader thought it was a Christmas card for her initially and thanked me profusely as unknown to me, she had just received one from my other colleague just minutes before. What a good timing huh..

Though I was sad to see her disappointed face, but this time round, there was much less guilt for me. The only guilty part was that I am leaving a team who has treated me nicely so far. I guess life has to move on.

This time round, there were no questions asked by my colleagues, except for those at the top. Shocks were much fewer this time as well, with the only shocking aspect to some being the really short tenure, as it has only been 1 month and 15 days.

It was interesting that there were quite a few who congratulated me to be able to 脱离苦海… This was really a stark contrast as compared to my previous experience. Hmm.. I don’t think there is anywhere else where colleagues will be happy for you and congratulate you on your departure.

I guess I will miss the unique atmosphere of doing nothing and talking all the time. I will also miss my colleagues.. It has been really short, and it will only be over 2 months when I leave. But this time, there’s little procrastination and hesitation on my part… Though it has been fast, but as what someone has told me, if this is not the place and not the job for me, then there is no point for me staying on wasting my time. I guess, this is just me, being efficient. I do really hope to leave before picking up all the habits that are undesirable for me – inefficient, slack, unproductive, doing nothing and late at work. Despite all these, I think the past period has been quite a valuable experience for me – to get to know more people, get to know the working style of academics and get to know that a pure research job probably is not really for me. I guess it has been a self discovery journey…

Really appreciate those who have lent me their listening ears and provided me advice. It’s wonderful to have friends who understand, help and convince =) I guess it’s really time to move on before it’s too late.

没想到，过了一年，我的事业仍原地踏步。也没想到，很妙的是，我好像兜了一圈，回到原点。人生不是每次都顺利的，有时会逆转，但无论如何，不要想太多了（我昨天才拔了两根白头发:(），加油吧…

加油
林俊杰

最近你好吗
少了一点微笑
说的话有点少
最近我也不好
全世界都在逆转
人开始反向思考

发现你爱的人 到处跑
昨晚刚升职 今天被炒
莫名其妙 谁会知道
是不是上天开的玩笑
地震时 你想和谁拥抱
什么是生命中的美好
轻易放掉 却不知道
幸福就在下一个转角

说一声加油 一切更美好
所有的悲伤 请往边靠
曾经流过的泪
湿了伤口 就让阳光晒干而褪
这一种加油 人人都需要
手牵手 我们一起赛跑
说好不见不散
每分每秒守候你到老

The beat goes on 时间它一直走
就像是Life goes on 这过程或许痛
不管顺流或逆流 你总得抬起头
让我们一起走 走过艰难和困惑

关关是难关 但我们关关过
雨后天晴的阳光 在天空闪闪
所出现的彩虹 忽然间我们才懂
如果这是一场马拉松 那我们一起加油
