Dear Diary,
The autumn winds are not getting any cooler, but time still stops for no one.
My own emotions are in a turmoil right now as I am writing this entry - what have I done exactly? After weighing the options and alternatives, are the scales tipped? What are the opportunity costs involved? Is it really a smart choice to close the door on comfort ensconce, stability and being valued more, to step out into unchartered waters, unknown, and unwarranted?
I have always been very rational, which is why friends and even acquaintances I barely know like to come to me for advice or as a sounding board. I usually think along the factual lines rather than let emotions rule. But when you are tossed into the sail, though, it is a different feeling - I feel like I am trying to swim against the tides, despite warnings. I don't know if I may make it to shore, or eventually submerge underwater in my pursuit.
Anyway, for this month, there has been a short beach resort trip that boosted white sandy beaches, provided delectable and fresh seafood meals, relaxing Swedish massages and lovely chilling out places. For the first time, I attempted my hand at roulette and also tried jet-skiing..
There have also been the usual dinners with friends and shopping and all. I am supposed to visit a couple of museums this month but just have not had the energy to arranging it yet.
The businesses have also been delayed. There had been a call for the second round of presentation to one of the venture capitalists but I had to go overseas during the same period so I shall have to wait till month end or October to do it. For the other business, my business partner and I should be ready to launch by October.
For September itself as well, there was the Autumn Solstice, where in the past we would celebrate by playing with candles and firecrackers, carrying lanterns and enjoying tasty moon-cakes (a kind of pastry with either baked or snow skin, filled with different-flavored paste) while admiring the beautiful full Moon.
In October, there will be another beach resort trip for my best friend's wedding. There was supposed to be another event happening during the trip that would involve me (just as I have guessed), but now I am not so sure. It does not matter how I feel, I guess. The current headache is over what to wear - I have yet to shop for the right dress.
Right now, I am headed out for dinner with a girlfriend. Stay tuned, darlings. Ending this entry off with kisses and smooches, as always.
