The day of Eid

Raya seems to be coming to a close, at least for me. Somehow Life is going to return to its mundane state from Tuesday onwards. 11 months and 2 weeks more to go.

Something is amiss this Raya. The usual excitement , fanfare and lights seem to be missing. Its very quiet. Too quiet in fact. There is not much extravagant dressing and needless to say, not much babes in rather provocative baju kurungs. No eye wash this year. Mood seems rather sombre. Not sure if its the economic crisis.

Won't be surprised if that really is the reason. Saw a family at the NTUC, the father holding a calculator, crunching numbers to see if he could bring purchases down to within budget. To a certain extent it was rather a sad and heart wrenching sight to behold. Telling the kids to put the chocolates back as it would blow the budget.

On the other hand, very frankly, I believe that current economic crisis is a much needed shakeup for us Singaporeans to realign our jaded and taken for granted attitudes. To scratch beneath the superficial and materialistic facade of an existence and to understand what that really matters.. Bond.

Eid Mubarak

As we welcome Eid with much joy and happiness, let us not forget those, less fortunate than us for HE gave us wealth and strength to protect and provide for those whom are in need of it. Especially in these difficult times.

Here's wishing you a very sincere and blessed Eid Mubarak.

Long time coming....

Its been a very long while and quite honestly I really don't know where or rather how to begin. I would like to update as chronologically accurate as possible but the truth is I really can't remember anything in order these days.

There has been a lot of changes occuring in the recent months. Too many and too fast to list all. To start off with a few...

Yeah, there is a change to my availability status. In true cliche, I never thought it would happen to me, but it did. Thus the explanantion to my "completion". It feels great to actually be happy.

As for work, well lets just say that it wasn't all as smooth sailing as i thought it would be, had to go through some reality checks. Got reminded that i cannot let my guards down and to always cover my back. Not going to go into details. Sometimes its really no point talking about things that cannot be changed.

Studies. Its kind of getting hectic. All the modules are very condensed. Therefore alot of effort has to be put in. Kind of getting sick and tired of getting credits..Would love to see some distinctions for a change. It would be a good morale booster as well.

Family. What can i say, just when i thought i got them all figured, they never fail to suprise me.

Friends. Its been a wild roller coaster ride. With the lack of time and other pre-occupations, can see that the dynamics are shifting ... Sometimes the shift is subtle and other times, mostly shocking.

Myself. I am but a fraction of myself. So much things to do and so little time... what to do .. life.

These are the general updates. Just to break the curse of procrastination.
