Random ramblings

How time flies really, in a blink of an eye, 4 long years have since gone by. Truth be told, I’d rather study than work… but apparently, the world doesn’t work that way, at least not for me.

Other than the fact that the 2nd year student can’t sing for nuts (God knows why she’s been placed up there; even Dad found her super irritating) and me looking rather plumpish and awkward in the gown, the ceremony was all right (much bearable than that of the investiture).

Pictures taken in the early evening, love the beautiful sea of red and white.

Needless to say, being the sucker for fireworks, they were the highlight of the day for me.

Haven’t been posting for the longest time. I guess it’s the constant fatigue acting up on me ever since work started coupled with the lack of topic to write about.

Work life has been fun, my kids is a vocal (read: talkative) but delightful bunch; Colleagues have been pretty friendly and helpful. Nonetheless, the amount of work just keeps piling up, with each week a period of race against time – I’m evolving into that of a marking, calling and planning machine. Haha.. like how evolution takes million of years, and mine, mere weeks.

Life in general has been kind to me. After two years and counting, I met someone. Someone worthy at the randomest place ever – the airport.  How on earth did that happen when I don’t fly often enough. That puzzled me for the longest time ever too. God works in His mysterious ways I guess. Still, am not saying that it has been blissfully smooth-sailing. But it’s a good first step. And yes, I do feel very happy with Julian even though a few of you probably received calls and smses from me whining away about how he is being annoyingly analytical with his never-ending theories whenever we enter into yet another fight (for lack of a better, more positive word).

On the family front, think they aren’t too supportive with me and the new bf. Or at least, that’s the feeling I sense. An aunt will go with callous remarks like “Oh, I’m surprised to see you at home”. Somehow after go many rounds of bfs and relationships, I can’t really be bothered about their two cents worth of sarcasm and thought it better never to bring the bf home until marriage comes knocking on the door. I’ve grown and I think it’s certainly time to hold my own mind on matters prevailing to no one else. Nope, it’s not angst that I’m portraying here, just a little bit sick of others’ comments on my life, friends, and family alike. Still, I’ve to say that I love this family all the same, no matter how crude they might be or how callous their remarks might seem.

So yes, life has its fair share of ups and downs and mine is no different either. Still, embrace it simply because we are such blessed beings with so much more than many many others. A friend places this on his msn nick, and I’m wholly in awe of his insights.
