Seventh Month of 201-Seven

Dear Diary,

It's me again, battling the sands of time that hurls itself at me like a giant blanket of gold. I could stand against it and let it bury me eventually, or run forward with it, burying dreams I could no longer envision.

Sorry for the seemingly melancholy start; I am not feeling blue or anything. It's just one of those lazy Sunday afternoons where I debate between heading for a swim or pouring myself some wine, before heading over to the Mom's place to catch up on my French studies and dinner.

July was a flurry of activities as usual, mainly centered around work- setting up a new department, conferences, seminars and appointments. Oddly I enjoyed it, and it should be able to link to my other venture (oh dear, which reminds me I have not had time to set up the website and Facebook for it).

There were also some quality get-togethers with good friends, and shopping. I love the malls, craving to be in them all the time sensing the fabrics, taking in the scent and vibrancy, and smelling the coffee aroma from cafes. Oddly sensational, but not as sensual as my affirmation to water bodies is.

I also re-connected with some lost contacts and shed the pointless ones. Life is too short to allocate pieces to people who are not worth it.

Thank you my dears for staying tuned - do keep an eye out for August's entry in a month's time

Half Year Mark 2017

Dear Diary,

June has barely scraped through the door, but I can already feel the vibes of July- pensive, high-energied, waiting to infuse the air. What has transpired?

Getting the insurance business is one of which I am excited about, and against all odds, I have decided that I am going to do up a website and Facebook page for it. Sorry if the other venture has not been as active - I have been busy working on something else. Something extremely meaningful, and now that a major hurdle has been removed, I can totally focus on what I want to do. Something that involves and utilises all my expertise and training and interest-  events planning, business development, legal background and is a meaningful essentiality.

Letting go of certain petty issues to look at the broader picture, has also helped to make us happier. I guess there is no point being calculative with closest family members, because ultimately we are all bound by blood / marriages and are a family whether we like it or not. Learning to give, and harmony, has been a gift.

Wish I had learned that when the Dad was still around. Father's Day came and went without any celebration.

Then there have been some activities squeezed in - less, compared to previous months, but still fulfilling. Lunches and dinners with close friends, alumni events, media events (ironically now that I am slowing down on blogging a lot more, the invites and collaborations are coming in steady streams), and planning of more vacations in order.


The Beau and I also managed to bring the niece and nephew out since it is the school holidays (aka Singapore's "Summer Break") - visited the SEA Aquarium and Madame Tussauds Museum at Resorts World Sentosa. Then I also did some investigative work into a case of "The Imaginary Business Partner"- shall share more in details in time to come.

Finally, the list of events and invites (I post once a week only nowadays):

• Food tasting at Oh My Tian Café
• Food tasting at IlLido at the Cliff Restaurant
• Beauty review on Mary Kay's soothing eye gel
• Festino Brunch at Monti Singapore
• Kosme Aesthetics opening ceremony@ Orchard Central
• Review on leather care products by Shoetree Project
• Lazada Great Singapore Sale collaboration
  

Thank you for taking the time to read my monthly update again sweethearts. See you in July and stay missed xoxoxo
