8.4.10

time stands still .

let me start off with a cliche line: the chapter of my student life in Melbourne has been closed for a while now. a new chapter began when i moved back home to Singapore to embark on an adult life - one that should be filled with new responsibilities, challenges and most importantly, a career.

this new chapter hasn't been any bit of fun. it still needs a lot of sprucing and tweaking before it can be completed. the question, however, is: will it ever be complete?

people say that life is full of different chapters. i believe so. we make up our own chapters, our own stories, our own characters, our own lives. now, i need to make up my own story, my own new life back where i (think) i belong. i need to draft out my chapter and execute certain plans. more importantly, i need to sort things out.

it's all gonna be about me, i'm afraid. which is why i've decided to take a long break from blog-o-sphere while i pan out my chapter. i'm not sure when i'll be back and i'm sorry if this entry has sounded somewhat depressing. i just need some me-time to sort things out and blogging is not on my priority list now.

thanks for sticking around, my dear reader. and until then, i leave you with some photos of my belated birthday dinner with my girls two weeks ago.

as much as i loved the original pair that the girls got for me, they were tad too high for my liking. with that pair, i was standing at approx. 180cm. so i had it changed to the above pair which i'm more comfortable with.

  7. I agree. Life is very much about chapters or "doors" as my teachers all say. You close a door, but a new one opens! I love the analogy of life and all the options that we have at our disposal.

    Hope you have a good break, but do come back to the blogosphere!


    Thanks so much for stopping by!

  9. Damn! Just as i visit after being MEGA SLACK with the commenting, you're going away!
    Aww, I'm glad you had a lovely birthday!
    I know what you mean about the "life chapters" thing. Taking time out to assess things and just BREATHE is necassary sometimes. I myself feel like I'm just beginning a new chapter too.
    Enjoy your blogcation my dear! Don't forget to come back though ;)
    hugs and best wishes Szela! ♥
