Its been a long while.

Yep, its been a long while.
After all big wedding business, settling down living with the in-laws, here I am again.

Its a whole new experience, staying with the in-laws. Its never the same as my old place, with my mum and dad. But, like they all say, home is where the heart is.

And its right here, with my hubby. =)

Things have been quite messy at work with the plans of shifting coming in June. The renewal of shift rosters, new colleagues, new but not moving over with us colleagues from JGH etc.

And I’ve also decided to apply for further studies. Its something which I have been thinking for for a while now. But severely lacking in financial support, particularly after the wedding as well as the coming new home.

What made me changed my usual way of doing things, which is to be fully prepared with funds before embarking on any thing major in life, can be attributed to a few people.

Of course, one of which is Marvin. His “don’t ask why, just do it” mentality may be rash at times, but it does make sense sometimes.

He often says, “how often do people speak of great plans, but never ever get down to doing it?”  And most of the time, the more you ponder over something, the more deterrents you get.

Which is something that is extremely true for me. I think too much and chicken out at the end.

However, the person who showed me that all this is possible is none other than AFGA. The treasurer of SSR who is now pursuing her PhD. She had no funds, just a very clear picture of what she wants.

She went through her masters, despite of the lack of funds, despite of the lack of time, despite of having the sacrifice family time. And she made it happen all in the end.

She spent years working and studying, waking up and arriving at work before the sun rises, and staying back in NUS, doing her assignments, taking her exams, going back home after the sun sets. All these while handling audits at work, rostering and other responsibilities, as well as accounts of SSR. She just a amazing person, whose drive and focus can’t be found anywhere else.

I’m not certain if I can be like her. But she showed me and there is really no such thing as impossible.

Thank you AFGA. I will miss having you around during meetings and stuff. But i just needed you to know that you have touched at least one person in your life and that is me.

Never give up that spirit woman!

Words always fail me when I need to write something.

Recently I find myself rethinking through the same questions.

“What am I working for? Why is it that I no longer feel the same about the job as I felt before?”

The feeling is inadequate, yet I’m feeling torn between the urgency to upgrade my skills/knowledge, and whether or not am I cut out for this.

It seems that I entered this line with everything, happy that I’m doing something that I like.

But that feelings’ lost along the way.

Sometimes I cant wait to get off work, sometimes I feel guilty of leaving when I could have stayed/put in more effort.

Its really frustrating at times.

Its that same sense of loss. Maybe its just the usual dwelling and burrowing into your emotions even further.

Like what someone has said, “Since you’re here, just do what you have to to the best you can.”

Yea, i think that’s good advice. =)

Public holiday~

Yeay its a public holiday! Sleep sleep sleep. Oink.

Seems like its been forever since the last one.

Have been feeling rather below the weather lately, not much energy. There are just so many things i want to do, but i’m either short on the time, or on the energy.

And i’m having problems with the Pear Again.  *wails

Maybe its time to prioritise.

Happy Hari Raya everyone!

a torrent of events

The last weekend was too much to handle. An ending, a cliff-hanger, and a beginning.

The 23rd SMRC is officially over. We didn’t kill anyone, which was good. I guess that’s the most impt issue.

Thanks Uncle Edmund for the Haigh’s chocolates!

To Jf: Keep on talking to us girl. Pls don’t keep everything to yourself k? You’ll pull through, together with everyone beside you.

To Ongchiew and bao: Thanks girls. For just being with me.
