Fry-day

This has got to be the hottest Friday of all the years I've lived in Singapore. As I look out of my office window- the sky is almost cloudless - something akin to the blue skies I would expect to see in Australia.


A quick glance at my phone states that the weather is expected to peak at 33 degrees today, hardly surprising considering the skies today, and in stark contrast with the comfortably cold office I am cooling off in.

I'm stealing some time off before I get down to the other things I have to settle today, including schoolwork. Our group based public relations project is due next week and that is one milestone I am looking forward to clear. I must confess that I cannot be considered a conscientious student this time round- I am still finding it rather hard to get moving as fast as I should.

This November will mark the third wedding I will attend this year, involving my friends who are of the same age. I am envious as much as I am happy for them. As much as I try to put up a nonchalent front and shrug off relationships as something that can wait, my heart is obviously saying otherwise. I've yet to event be involved romantically, let alone talk about setting up a family. I am hoping and praying to be able to embark upon the relationship of love soon.

As they say, love changes everything. Will it be a change for the better, or worse?

Have a sizzling day.

Its the thirteenth of October

Time flies, and it's been more than a year since I've made any entries here. Given my long break, I'm starting to wonder if anyone would be catching up on today's post =D

Allow me to say that the past 12 months have been eventful- a new place to call home, a new job that I started this year, my graduation as a Dip student, and now, in the final lapse of my advanced dip course.

Yes, there are certainly moments of ups and downs, the stress brought about by deadlines, the anxiety of what to expect in the future, but the Lord has been most gracious and seen me through all my apprehensions. My church friends took time off their schedules and turned out in full force to help us move- something that took my pre-believing aunt by surprise. This will be an event I will always remember fondly.

I never considered myself as an academic-let alone the ability to do well for my studies. It was with much doubt and apprehension that I embarked upon this long-overdue course of study. Over the past months, I have forged precious friendships, learnt new things, and emerged more confident of myself.

"If the Lord leads you to it, He will bring you through it." This claim I hold close to me, even as I struggle against my inadequacies and put my best foot forward for the final laps of my current course.

Every job presents its set of challenges, and my current job requires of me to deal with people, to be answerable to a committee, and to deal with matters fairly and objectively. I shall not claim that I am the most patient person ever- in contrast, I must confess that my patience has been put to the test. In retrospect, this could be an opportunity for me to grow in patience and love for others. I am immensely thankful for the support and concern shown by my colleagues and bosses.

On this note, I shall end off this post, looking forward to a rewarding shower and a good night's sleep! You can expect more in the following posts. (:
