Oktober-fast 2015


Dear Diary,

In the blink of an eye, October has flown by, edging us closer towards the end of the year. What has transpired in this month? Plenty, I would guess.


Anyway, things have a creative turn, and I am glad for it. Homegrounds is closer yet, and there had been quite some blessings in disguise that I am thankful for.  In the meantime, rest, relaxation and recuperation took place.


Some rekindling of the literary and poetic nature were forged too, reminding me of one of the greatest passions of my life. Yes, I have rediscovered my love for books and angelic music, as well as writing. Two ideas for new novels came up, and research is in progress.


Celebrations and belated celebrations took place as well, for 2 close friends and SIL.  Catching up with the dearest, treasured friends is something I always treasure, no matter how tight one's schedule may be - I always make time. It is all about time management - in between the day job, the sidelines, the events and other obligations. It always amazes me when people claim they have "no time", especially those who have fewer.... roles to play.


Renewed the love for wine and settled more stuff for the wedding that's around 6 months away. I believe myself to have been rather well-paced, but it just keeps feeling like there's a step or two that's missing.


Trying to trade more social events for networking events and education seminars instead (forex trading, e-commerce, entrepreneurial-type forums etc).  And finished up some tasks I have been meaning to wrap up a while back, and got a fair bit of shopping done.  Sports were aplenty but I wonder why results are not apparent.


Finally, had a little fun for Halloween / Samhain - drinks, live band, no disguise for me. I wish it had been a celebration in the more spiritual sense though - honouring the dead and celebrating live. Need to work on the spiritual aspects more too.

Here's adding on to my extensive dresses (fashion) collection and then the list of media events.  I am so psyched that Christmas is coming - decorations and festive goods are already available in town! Best of all, my ex-Psychology lecturer would be coming to Singapore in December - seems that every December, I have some overseas guests to touch base with.

Shall go and take a Melatonin tonight so that I can sleep easier.
