In between men

If there's one thing that I am pleased being "out of love", it is the fact that I can lose weight even without trying. Oh, I seriously do not miss sitting 9 hours a day, with breakfast, lunch and the snacking. I can fit into some of my old pants now. Yeay!

For now, I wilk need to enjoy the flexible sleeping hours, my freedom and a little holiday coming up. Yes, money, you can come later...

Marrying a job

I feel that a job is like a boyfriend. Once you have one, you spend lots of time with it. You sleep thinking about it, it stresses you out, yet it can also provide you with a sense of security, belonging and happiness.

If so, I am out of love again. Why? Because I met the wrong guy?

A contract job sounds like a fling. A job of 10 years seems like a husband. If so, one of my friends just got divorced... It is a very scary thing if that husband happened to be your first love too. From the sound of things, she sounded like she is going to be on a rebound soon. She told me she felt like taking on a job she doesn't feel happy with while she searches for the right one. That's not the way! Having been on a few flings before, I definitely have a different perspective. While she probably felt like she has wasted so many years on that ex-husband, she wants to try a few guys before deciding now. Well, if things are that easy! Many a times, we go by first impression and gut feelings before jumping into a relationship. How often do you think he happens to be "The One"?

"You never try, you never know." My philosophy. So maybe flings suit you while you want to find the perfect husband. But I do realise maybe there is none so perfect afterall, you just need to find one that would give you that happiness, that would not forsake you in events of illness, hardship and bankruptcy. How true?

One month later...

Ooops.

I am so sorry. I know I have been missing in action. After the holiday, I have been winding down from all the madness climaxed from the preparation of the trip, the stress from the planning and sorting out things at work and then the real holiday plus the wedding itself. Not forgetting, the mum got hospitalised just a day before my flight! Overwhelmed.

Yes, that's the word. I was overwhelmed.

One month later now, I am finally easing myself back into a routine, not one that I am very pleased with (at the moment). I am still sorting things out, all the administrative after the holiday, being sick for a week, caring for the mum who had a minor surgery just before I left for the trip, started the job hunt and then preparing myself for an upcoming Bangkok trip. My luggage is still not fully unpacked, because there is another trip coming up or perhaps my heart is just longing to go somewhere?

I still have so much more I wanted to do. I'm just starting to check things off the list, getting bills paid, getting my IC replaced (such a horrifying reminder that I am 30 again), running errands, catching up with friends and doing precious lunches at places I couldn't before. I need to write about the USA trip for sure, I need to submit reviews. I know I owe this blog too many movie and food reviews which I seriously need to put aside time to write, but we will see. I will slowly fill this up again.

In the meantime, I am writing to let you know I'm still breathing and I hope you're still reading :)
