Dear Diary,
It is going to be the month of Samhain (otherwise known as "Halloween") again... I shall stop all those "time flies", "time stays for no one" etc comments, because it does move on, sweeping us all along in the giant tide of its passing.

Work-wise
After much deliberation and thoughts, I have decided to leave Idiots-ville before idiocracy rubs off on me. Forget about enduring empty vessels making the most noise, listening to (his) imbecile solutions, watching (him) steering the ship counter-clockwise and simply being full of shyt, I decided to take alternative paths. Actually, the moment (he) came onboard, and I noticed how this person speaks with a fake, deep voice (the kind you deliberately force from the diaphragm in lieu of the natural voice), with the eyes wide and darting, and mouth nearly gaping when they speak - you cannot fool an ex-Psychologist student. I have met enough people like that - and they are either liars or boasters by profile - and after talking big they usually produce zilch.
Biz-wise
I got a call and a fine for the company currently registered under my name. That was rather crappy as I don't even know what's the status of this company now! I better pull out if I can't shut it, before I get more weird calls. Haha. I will do what I need to do, and soon.
In the meantime, I had been thinking of what to start.... been stupidly and steadfastly searching high and low for solutions and platforms for a new business venture. I was also looking fervently and researching in all the wrong place - all the tangible and physical products! When all along, the solutions have been right in front of my eyes! Like an epiphany, I knew I could, and should leverage on the current existing resources, and start a company to incorporate all the suite of services into one! I will have to put them into action very soon - no more procrastination.
Learning -wise
The absorbence of knowledge and skills never stops - it has to be done on a daily basis, from anyone, anything and any incident. But oh well, I also signed up for a weekend seminar (HLP) for more learning, personal development , networking and ideas generation. Through it all, I had clearer ideas of what I should do, met some really awesome people and oh well, it was fun. Special thanks to *GY, one of the founders and my longtime buddy, who invited me for the course and has always patiently listened to my whacky business ideas throughout the years (even though they did not materialize eventually).

Blog-wise
Moving on, the writing. The one-year anniversary is almost approaching, and I have a mind to stop. The never-ending hunt for new eateries is still ongoing, the sponsorships and media tasting invites are still coming (thank you!) but I am exhausted. Furthermore, if I am going to devote my energies and time to my new business venture, I won't be able to hunt, eat and write as often.
Family-wise
The Bro's wedding is upcoming, hence the usual coordination between relatives, giving out invites, and a little shopping here and there with the family are impertinent as well. The Mom is extra nervous and excited, of course - till date we have gotten at least four outfits for her for just the occasion alone! For me, I am glad for the opportunity to catch up with more relatives on both sides.
Not much improvement so I need to work on it. I was just talking with a kind-of friend the other day about how I used to be able to see "things" about people that they never exhibit. Simple things like the moment they introduce themselves (if they are parents), I could easily tell them whether their kids were boys or girls, etc. Yes, the meditation, stilling of mind and training of the gifts have to be put back in place.

General
Halloween is coming and ironically I will be celebrating it with the company. No, scratch it - I have half-volunteered myself into the organising committee. I don't think I have ever been active in so many company-related events before till here - but then again I get to interact with more inter-department people.
I also got the long hair chopped off to shoulder length - chop away all the dry ones with split ends and let the hair regrow. Plus, I wanted to look younger, more vibrant and wanted to try Salon Vim's services. You can read more about it here. I would probably want to change director stylists the next time I am here.
Friends are still awesome, and increasing by the fold.
I have also finally signed up for driving again. Had wanted to go with another school, but the service of the guys at Ubi ComfortDelgro wowed me over. Eh, I think I mentioned this in previous month's entry is it? Never mind - I begin the studying this month.
Shopping is still ongoing - wallet this time. Was debating between a Chanel quilted patent wallet in black (SGD$1,190) and this Dior black quilted patent in black and I took this. Some people say I am crazy, for just $200 more I could've gotten the Chanel... errrrrr, yes, but they don't know I am a very brand-loyal person (to the point of folly, at times).
Such as, I would always prefer my Coffee Bean over Starbucks; always choose M1 over the other local telcos, choose Blackberry mobiles first despite it is slowly getting from bad to worse, choose Ya Kun over Toast Box, and Watsons over Guardian Pharmacy etc.
All right sweetie, I am heading out now for my Lancôme makeover and dinner at Il Cielo's later on,. More updates on the way. Stay loved *muachx*
