bask

1. staying back to work on what should have been done last week, all the while indulging in our inner aunties as we finally air our petty grievances about work and catty colleagues; bitchy, politically incorrect, but oh so fun. one more thing i'll miss when it is time for me to go.

2. 80+ continuous repeats later, i am still hooked on this. it's semi-torturous, having to hold back when you just want to sing your heart out, almost like being unable to tell a girl you like her. oh wait...

3. going on a shopping spree without budgeting and on a drastically-emasculated paycheck = a very bad idea

3. funny that despite all the premonitions of a dull working life, the past month has been anything but uninteresting, and october looks crazier than ever. 2 weddings (where i'll feature as traffic controller and emcee respectively), bidding farewell to my tuition kid (i almost can't believe it's been two years), a potentially highly-emotional farewell to my colleagues + OC, and entering the strange new and seemingly foreboding world of banking; add in all the get-togethers, and it almost seems like action-overload, but it's all good.

4. finally met up with ZH for supper; amazed that it's been so long since we last met. it's perhaps a sad fact that our hand of friendship cards tend to dwindle over the years, but i glance at those whom i've managed to keep and remain humbly grateful; i wouldn't trade them for the world.

5. so he's gay too! omg.

6. hardly the best time to do such recaps, but it must be said that the past weeks have been rather magical; i can't phrase it without seemingly diffusing their almost supernatural heft, and even if i can only sum it up with the almost-trite "i guess God works in mysterious ways", it doesn't make it any less sincere as far as i'm concerned. after the sapping months of aimless floundering, i now see with amazing clarity how blessed i am, and i feel more alive than ever. it's refreshingly easy to just smile these days (and no it doesn't even have to do with the OC), and for that i give my deepest thanks.
