For the better

I have been given an opportunity to live a dream I always had. I always thought God's timing would perfect everything. However, it didn't seem to be the case this time around. If the opportunity had come 3 years back, then this job would have been perfect for me - the travelling around the world, my own time at luxurious hotels, shopping spree every other week. Fabulous life I'd say! Today, 3 years later, having the privilege to live such a life, my perception of it has changed. Perhaps maturity brought me to the next level? I don't know. But one thing I do know, living away from my loved ones in a country that is foreign to me doesn't seem like a worthwhile price to pay even if it was for all the perks of the job. Perhaps God's timing at work? Fair enough that I waited a lifetime for this opportunity, but more to that God is putting me to a test He might already have the answer to. To choose a life I have dreamt of living? Or to choose the love of my life? My answer loud and clear...I choose the love of my life!

So, if God has already pre-selected an answer for me, then why still gave me the opportunity I thought was gold? For mere confusion? I'd like to think that it is so that I taste the sweetness in missing the one I love, and a gentle reminder that he means everything to me! He was the dream I've always had. Thank you sweetheart for giving it to me.

Expectations...

"The unity of two people brings about a partnership that might possibly be of heightened expectations"

Is heightened expectations considered a disorder? Whatever.

p/s: HAPPY MOTHERS' DAY TO ALL BEAUTIFUL WOMEN! It does not matter however young or old you may be. As long as you are born homogametic, with x-chromosomes, you long to carry your very own child in your arms. You may run away from the commitment of motherhood, but the longing of becoming a mother will always be present. That's probably why dolls were created. To my very own mother, thank you for being the perfect role model in my life. Your shoes may be too big for me to fill. I guess I won't know how it feels till it really happens. I take my hat off to you, I salute you for being such an incredibly strong woman. I wish to grow up to be like you...I love you, mom!

It's YOU!

So I got you thinking that I disappeared from the face of earth? Not quite...We've moved into the 5th month of the no longer new year of 2011. I wouldn't give a month-to-month recap of what happened coz typically that would be done at the end of each year. However worth a mention that I've relocated and I'm now working from Singapore. The first few months had been tough. But looking at it now, it is still tough.

When I first relocated, I thought it was because I didn't have personal space as I was sharing a room with my 8 year old cousin. And so I moved out. Moving out was a wise decision as I was closer to work and that gave me a few more minutes of sleep in the morning. Moving into my own room also gave me the luxury to be on the internet anytime of the day, and doing whatever I like in the privacy of my own room. Still after working very hard to furnish my little room into a cosy corner, I still felt very empty. Then I thought I needed to go out more often and meet more people and go new places. I did and the feeling was still the same. Perhaps it will change once I start working. Work started and nothing changed.

In the midst of all these that happened, a few occasions had me feeling over the moon and extremely happy. Twice, my boyfriend came to visit, once I went home for Chinese New Year, once for my boyfriend's graduation, and once when my boyfriend came over for my graduation. The culprit of it all is the 200miles distance that is keeping me away from the person I most adore. Well, I never knew I can be so weak. I never knew what it feels like to miss someone so badly. I miss him so much that it hurts. I don't know how or what I can do to handle the pain. But despite it all...I am truly glad I found the person whom I know I cannot live without in this life!
