month of the Diamonds - April



Dear Diary

The first quarter of 2013 has flown by on unseen wings.. and here I am, penning another entry (not with quill on parchment, unfortunately). 

It's funny, sometimes I sound so much like a man in the way I pen my words, I ought to be part of the Bronte Sisters. Was chatting with a new friend the other day and he was asking about my poetry... I said to him, like arts, poetry is how one chooses to interpret it. A male may see a piece of artwork as sensual whereas a female may interpret it was being sensational. Same goes for poetry - there is no definite meaning to it, like life, like music. He also told me that I could do cryptic very well. I like the sound of that.

The starting of this month had passed by pretty much in a daze - drinks, drinks and drinks, unintentionally planned so. Quality bonding with new and old friends for whom I am blessed to have in my life. What wish does this Aries has this month? Shall I sum it up into simply "greeneries, sceneries, wineries and fineries"?



When I was young, I used to yearn to be able to own lovely things, go on trips, dine at elegant restaurants, dress up stylishly and meet powerful / semi-important people. I guess to a certain extent, I had a taste of it... some of these still remain in my blood and memories... but where does this get me? Where would more quality wine or a license + ready-waiting vintage sports car get me? The departure of someone dear to me was like a wake-up call ringing so true, a lesson learned that would remain my eternal wound. He has taught me the gift of learning to cherish the people around me, people who have formed a part of my life whether by choice or not... and he has taught me this lesson with his own life.  I have never known regret until I have lost him... but since I never had the chance to cherish him, I shall have to do it with all the precious family, kin and friends. Love you, Dd.

I miss the old team so much as well.... the meaningful discussions, the high of achievements, the afternoon teas, the wonderful managers and the guys I had so much fun with day and night; striving together to reach our goals together. It was more than just a loss of career; it was like a loss of identity, all of a sudden, surreal, but I will find my way out. It is wonderful to know that we are still friends and I can still count on you guys.

The current ones are wonderful as well, I guess I just need to rise from the pile of ashes and be the phoenix again... 

Tried to file my income tax returns but the SingPass is forgotten again. What's this, the tenth time? Damn. Been eating so little these days I would not be surprised if I'm being mistaken for a Vegan or worse, anorexic. But it just isnt easy to maintain being svelte, it takes a good diet, exercise and less sitting around, really.

Thanks for patronizing, dearhearts. I'll see you in May. Smooches.
