It takes courage to see the real as to the convenient! Believe in yourself - nobody is going to do it for you!

Reconnecting through words

Gosh!! Realized it’s been more than 2 months since I had a new post on my blog apart from 2 minimal mood updates. Such a slack I have become of late (as much as I hate to admit it, I have to say the same for my running regime coming to a standstill…not proud at all)!

Apart from being heavily sidetracked to facebook and it’s countless addictions through the gazillion applications available, I have been busy between doing long trips and taking time off for a short Phuket R&R stint, going back to Singapore on leave to catch up with folks and friends that I can’t get enough of, and attending a dear friend’s wedding.

The little time I have left in dubai, which is actually not little since I actually had 5 days to study for my recurrent safety exams, had I not spent it going goo-goo-ga-ga over Dr House in his namesake series, therefore leaving my 4-inch manual to the last 14 hours (8 of which were spent sleeping) before the big day. I scoffed down three 24-episode seasons instead while building a ridiculously insane crush on my small screen unorthodox hero. I am not normally a fickle lover but I am afraid he has temporarily taken over Alan Shore (of Boston Legal), as guilty and torn as I feel…heheh, lun thinks her love life is not complicated enough so have to involve TV characters! I so like to torture myself with fruitless and mindless loving.

Nonetheless, these last 2 months seemed to have sped past, and the next thing I know…poof! It’s December! I freaked for a bit…2007 is suddenly ending, just like this…time is as cruel as it is precious and priceless. Started performing a quick mental review of the ending year’s Hi and Lo-lites, while starting yet another procrastinating new year’s resolution list - the usual suspects on it including eat less, shop less, run more, earn/save more, and getting that damn driving license. How can I start procrastinating less for a start? In the end I also decided to add “achieve happiness and content from inside out with the little things in life”, after “continue effort to reduce carbon footprints”.

I shall recommence my running in Perth when I get there in the next 2 days, as I love putting along the swan river with a very satisfying and boosting 10km circuit, that is provided I persevere to finish it! In fact, I will be happy just to do half of the circuit since it's been a while since I last did the whole shebang.

Between now and then, I shall try to recuperate from the 8-day trip I just finished whilst running around dubai to complete a pile of paperwork and tests that I don’t even want to go into, to renew another contract. Come Jan 2008 and I will complete 6 years with EK! Gosh again! I am feeling old.

Hopefully I will find some time to update more of recent events, especially sharing afterthoughts, if not at least let some pictures do the talking for me, of the wedding I attended and Phuket…
I do have lots to say and share, especially to those friends that I miss in the last 2 months…allow me to reconnect, slowly but surely.
