Dream Team

"Dream team" - I've never thought that I would find one in my life.

Even though people long for relationships, they don't always turn out good or as satisfying as we wish them to be. Even if people want to work together, it doesn't always work out. There's power struggle, personality clashes that we do have to contend with, at least from time to time.

But being in the workforce for about a year or so, it's pretty amazing that I've found a dream team, meaning, a team of colleagues that I've come to trust, respect and love. I feel that I cannot ask for more because this team.. well, it's almost close to perfect.

Firstly, I've never felt so accepted and valued in a team for who I am. I don't feel like I have to prove myself and prove my worth. I feel respected for who I am. To me, this probably one of the best, if not the best feeling in the world.

Secondly, each member of the team has shown me what it means to put other persons' interest first and to seek to understand. Personally, I find it extremely challenging to do this but they've shown me that this is possible. While interacting with the team, I have received much love and being attended to whenever I am stressed. I do hope it's something I'll begin to learn.

Thirdly, we have so much fun together!! I think they bring out the fun side in me. I think at times, I can be quite a serious person and I honestly think some fun stuff are lame and I don't do lame stuff. For instance, I strongly dislike games (and I think the worst kind of game is a tele-match). And I don't like organizing or planning fun activities very much.

But I have so much fun with this dream team of colleagues that I am willing to plan stuff so that we can enjoy together. And probably, I would find games much less distasteful when I'm with them.


Through this team of colleagues, I'm beginning to learn what it means to treat others with respect and value, to attend to other people's needs and to have lots of fun. :) I'm so glad and blessed to have known them. You know, it's one of those moments when you reflect,

Who can say if I've been changed for the better?
But because I knew you
I have been changed for good


Now that our team has disbanded with effect from end of this month, I want to still carry these values I've learnt, because I've been so blessed by them. May God grant me the grace to bless others with what I've been so privileged to be blessed with.
