Freedom writer

I finally get a breather after a very challenging few days, and I'm glad it's over. I've almost forgotten how it feels like to be free: To be able to 'nua' the evening away. To type my blog without thinking of work. To watch guilt-free cable. To do silly things like sign up for Facebook. (What's with that anyway? I just don't get it.) To lie in bed and have a good read. To head out for supper and grow fat with Hil.

Well, this window of freedom is temporary, unfortunately. In less than a week, I will embark on what I'd like to believe as my final lap of madness for the year: My final two assignments + one exam paper for Uni. Going to school these days isn't quite as painful as before. Maybe becos I know the end is near. Sweet.

I hate being in dilemmas, especially when it involves something like choosing a new job or going for an all-expense paid trip to Bali. For now, I'm more inclined towards the latter, but that's only because I haven't heard any news from my potential employer yet. Well, ok. I guess the decision ain't that difficult. I know what I want and when I'm made to pick between the two, the choice is obvious.

When times are tough, it sometimes serves as a wake-up call: reminding us not to be complacent, helping us realise that some things are just not meant to be, and affirming the fact that some things are. I'm glad that the challenges I faced in the past weeks have offered me fresh perspective on things.

Nowadays, I look forward to train rides to work. Being with my newfound companion makes the morning a little easier to get by. To You: I wish we could ride from Jurong to Simei everyday, enjoying each other's company. I wish that our time together would never end. Thanks for the idiotic laughter you made me burst into in front of strangers. For the eye-rolling moments when I couldn't resist your dimwit demeanour. For the most outrageous things you do - much to my shock & horror sometimes. Indeed, the fish went to the hospital in the toilet and never returned. Thank you Hil, for season 3 of The Office neatly installed in my ipod!
