This week went by in a flash; and the above are what have been daily joys for me. I don’t need much, and I’ve realized that we only need these simple things in life to keep us going. Quiet time at the beach, using the new lunch bag, dinner with the usual suspects & good friends to keep you going. Simple things like this – makes life worthwhile. Happy Friday guys, I know I am. 
Even though it’s not the end of the week yet, I’m already heaving a sigh of relief (and at the same time crossing my fingers for the last workday). Plenty have happened, and it’d be nice to have a quiet weekend where I can kick back and relax, for all of 2 days before the madness starts again. Personally I think I need 3 days of recuperation at least, but well.. we take what we can.
School’s been on for two days and we roughly know what to expect already. Assignments have been told to us, and we’ve experienced the way the lectures are conducted. I’m thinking Contemporary Approaches to Public Relations would be vastly more interesting than Media Relations, judging by this first week’s impression. Of course, it will be best if both are stimulating and enriching.
I’ve received the Home Transfer approval from the authorities, and with all that’s happening.. I do feel a bit more.. calm. At the very least things are moving, and changing – we are not stuck at where we were. That’s very important.
With that, I end this week’s report to this journal 
Happy weekends to those who’ve been reading!
They say sometimes we gotta take a step back so we see the whole picture. Well these days I’m taking multiple steps backwards and staying still – I hope the vision’s cleared.
School officially starts next Tuesday. I’m in a bit of a fix, and as usual – dreaming of a god-forsaken place I can escape to. Just two years back I was in Cambodia when I met a man who told me he works for 9 – 10 months during the year, and he takes the rest of it off to travel round the world. The year after, in 2011, he went to South America.
I can’t decide what I want to do, or where I want to go. Even staying in Singapore is fine, but a leave of absence of at least 2 weeks? 1 month? would be ideal and heart-strengthening. Or maybe its not time, its distance that I need.
Being a written word kind of girl, I’ve been writing more – in an offline journal these days. It’s therapeutic enough, and I get most of the angst out of the way. (Most. Not all.)
Though too out of it to make proper discourse, below are some of learning points:
#1: I’m arrogant enough to never want to explain myself (which is bad), and that humility is key to learning. Of course, I’m drowning in real-time lessons that I’ve to sieve through and decipher.
#2: I need physical space to mentally breathe, and that I need to come to grips with life – either you control your life, or you get controlled.
#3: Though I’m old enough to know, I’m also young enough to still be learning. This is such a truth, and a wake-up call.
#4: You may call me a Jill-of-all-Trades. Not much talent in hand, but inquisitively curious about most things.
#5: The state of my surroundings equals the state of my mind. They are a mess. Finito.
#6: Weekends are NEVER to be trifled with!
