How May Fare(d)



Dear Diary,

It has been more than a month since married life - how was it? Not much different, since we have been together for a decade. You need to keep more people in mind, oh, and shopping habits changed somewhat - think toilet rolls, bedsheets and breakfast muesli.




There was a short trip to celebrate Mon Beau and my 10th year anniversary, discovering new and romantic spots in a city we'd recall as nothing but "nightlife, bazaars and temples" during previous visits. The new discoveries were pretty fascinating.

Getting artistic this month too, as I scoured 2 museums for art exhibitions and enjoyed myself tremendously, finding back the artist in me. Oh, especially dazzled by the Van Cleef & Arpels exhibition which I went just last weekend. Now searching for more plays, exhibitions and musicals to attend.


Anyway, blogging is really getting boring now that the faze is over, and I have turned down like, 5 events (fashion and hair events, a couple of food tastings). Sorry - it was fun while it lasted, and I did make some really awesome friends - and I will still be writing on and off, but new ventures have sapped most of my time away now.


Think healthcare, think beauty, think wine, think ker-ching. These are the 4 creatures keeping me ever so busy for now, oh and that's on top of the new novel I just began. Deals are sealed, indicating that "we're officially in business', or more rightfully so, "we're officially business partners".   You know, I had wanted to try out a few ventures with some closer friends (separate ventures) but they never materialized -  too much research resulting in too little actions, someone got pregnant, someone had constraints otherwise etc, etc. So I've learned that firstly, it's easier to start off on one's own, really - no one to hinder decisions or movements. Secondly, it's easier fostering business relationships with existing business partners - these days everyone seems to go the referral route and very few people start from scratch.



Finally, the month ended with celebrations - Mother's Day with the newly extended family, and Mother's Day cum Mom's Birthday dinner fairly recently. 



What else happened in May is the shedding off unworthy "friends" aka some hypocrites. But more events mean more new friendship fostered - why do people often complain about having no friends, is a notion that leaves me baffled.

Other than that, it's friends, friends and more friends, as well as some networking events.  World is too small for comfort, when you get more and more people telling you they know someone that you do, or spot your photo in another friend's social media upload.

That's it for May, see you sweethearts in a month's time. Stay tuned *kisses*
