monthly update
found a sudden need to write something. albeit having nothing in mind.
at home
have since moved home after i attempted to stay over at alwin's for 2 weeks. i was happier really. despite having to stand in my heels from lakeside to outram, and then take a bus to office. takes me about an hour to get to office whereas if im at home, it takes me 20 mins. i really wasnt angry with the folks anymore, i guess no matter what kind of discussion there was, the decision of her staying over was imminent. i just wished this could have been handled properly, at least to treat me with more respect.
i have not spoken to mum since then, the sms she sent me on a monday morning 3 weeks ago was disheartening. i could not have imagine she would have said i was the cost of a would be disaster, should something happen to dad. i pondered for 3 weeks: why am i always the cost of something bad? i was not going to tolerate such accusations especially when she knows how dear my father meant to me. nobody should use that love as a tool of accusation. especially you mum.
at work
almost 2 months into my new job. i can safely say i pretty much enjoy the work processes. everybody in NT is like a family to each other. we have no ranks, no qualms bout positions, no air. due to my loud and vulgar self, my colleagues coherently nicked me ah lian. well, at least i am an educated one. haha.
work relationships were never an issue to me, until recently when a married man from a certain department tried to ask me out for dinner at some fine dining restaurant. i mean he is a sweet guy la, buying me herbal tea when im coughing and getting the phiten sports tape for the injured knee, but ultimately and practically, if i ever want to commit an extra marital affair, i would need to find an extremely handsome man. or at least one with deep pockets. if not, why would i shit in my own backyard. and seriously, why would i settle for less, when i know i have a man at home who is willing to take me as who i am, and who has been through so much with me for the past 6 years.
the man
next month marks our 6 years of together-ness. the boy graduated in poly last week after a long arduous 3 years, something i was extremely proud of. indeed, education changes a man's perspective in life. these days, even quarrels seemed more intellectual!
diving
sucha freaking expensive hobby! seriously why cant we just go play ping pong or something. lets do a rough calculation on how much i have spent so far
i can actually go maldives u know. having said that, i do enjoy this hobby lots, and i really cant wait to do a giant strike into the water of dayang in another 48 hours.
Running
Revived the running spirit again after training for the safra 10km run. my asics nimbus gave up on me, resulting in bad knee pain after the run. went shopping with hubby last week and bought my new pair of asics. the cumulus 11. its wonderful.
Conclusion
life has been so far so good. commencement of studying after dayang would also mean hibernation. no beer, no clubbing, no diving, no roller blading. i could deal with a batam spa perhaps. haha.
time to focus.
till then.
