The Time Machine

After several years of going my own way, learning about the world the hard of real way, I'm back to the melting pot. You might think it would be seeing the same people again in the same environment, different setting. Fortunately for me, none of the discomfort and I felt right at home. I would describe it as taking the time machine and place me right where I should have been. The same wordplay, the same corniness, the same hard work, the same simplicity of happiness. Now the pressure is on to build and bill. The laughters will make it easier...

It is REAL!

Began my year with a trip to Hong Kong and back and before I could close my eyes, the bells for the big three zero rang before my eyes. No big celebrations were lined up. Just an over-priced dinner with the one person whom I'm totally comfortable with in my life. Simple cake cutting with people who are now family. The biggest surprise were the flowers from an extremely sweet boyfriend whom I've always categorised for being unromantic (Not that I have in any way risen him from those ranks though).

Do I feel older?

Staring into the mirror, looking at the lines around my eyes, I can't help feeling older. I wish I could turn the clock but I also know that if I could try to age more graciously, I will stay beautiful right inside. The key things for me in the new decade is to be able to establish myself in my field of work and at the same time, juggle some heavy family responsibilities. Trying not to be too ambitious, doing what is potentially beyond my means, I didn't dare plan too far ahead. The general blueprint of life is definitely present, waiting for interesting anecdotes in life to give it what it means to be my life.

People come and go. Friends fall in and out of the definition. But true relationships are closer to heart and there's no need to quantity. Just quality...
