Oktober Fast...



Dear Diary,

As the title suggests literally, it is October and soon, 2013 would have passed by without stopping for no one.

Physically, this is a tiring month as there were quite a few dinners with friends I have not met for sometime - food, drinks, and fun. Museum visit upcoming to see an Egyptian exhibition, and an upcoming trip next week to a lovely island resort. Sun, seas, sand and the most beautiful bride in the world aka my bestie.

Then there is finalizing of proposals for second round of presentation with the venture capitalists or put it simply, potential investors. For the other online business with *Pris, I will have to get the orders in by next week before my trip. Re-started on my writing projects again too, since time allows. Perhaps I will check out driving lessons, French and piano lessons soon too.



Which reminds me I have yet to shop for things I need for the trip - gifts for the bestie, lots of skincare products that are finishing / running out, and even my dress for the upcoming beach wedding. Strangely, clothes do not pique my interest as of now, when I used to abide by the "buy what I see" theory.

I have not even attended the Oktoberfest this year, or the Shakespearean play or the F1 car racing or caught the new movie starring Sandra Bullock; am not even sure if Halloween will see me out this year. Though, I already have at least 5 dinners on hand that I need to organize once November arrives.

Work has been extremely busy too, with final quarter closing in, and targets to achieve. Then I am now in the committee planning for the company's overseas retreat. I prefer busy-ness, as I always knew and say... one feels more satisfied after a busy day.





Emotionally, this is an exhaustive month as well. There have been lots of uncertainties, drama and considerations. I need to take things easy... but in this game, sadly - one person's dream becomes another's nightmare.

Spiritually, I have started to set aside a little more for meditation, but other than that, the other aspects see no progress.

That said, I need to go grab some fruits before work re-commences, and I cannot wait for the spa / massage session soon...

In the meantime, stay tuned, kisses all.
