Dear Diary,
August just waved goodbye to us from the windows of silver linings and rainbows. We peered deep at it, lived within it, but what transpired once it ejects us back onto Earth, as September sweeps us into its arms gently?
Well, work has been busy, busy, busy but I like where I get to exercise creativity. The side has been smooth too - thank Deities. I just need more time on my side as projects are lined rather closely together. My social life has dwindled from 3 nights a week to, say, once a week.
We took a short trip to Bangkok, Thailand, and this time round decided to bring the Mother-in-Law along. Playing tour guide was no easy feat, but we managed to revisit many places that were lost to us, such as the Grand Palace, Temple of Dawn, Floating Market, Temple of Reclining Buddha and a couple of night markets. It would have been better if there hadn't been whining (gawd only knows how much it turns me off).
Already excited and started planning for my year-end Winter trip! Shopping for gifts and winter wear form part of the regime. Yes I have been doing a fair bit of shopping too- clothes, especially. I know I am supposed to abstain.
Not sure if I want to continue with French lessons after this semester. It had all been fun but it takes up a lot of time too. Written-wise, I have always been able to pick up languages pretty quickly; the stumbling blocks are always the verbal aspects.
In other news, this month is also the Lunar 7th Month aka Hungry Ghost Festival; we went to the columbarium to visit the Dad. The pain of missing him is still fresh. Oh, National Day came and went as well; I had no inkling where I went. Food tasting? Café hopping? Holing up at home or the Mom's place to catch up on French / work?
Anyway here's my updates for the month; thanks for staying tuned my loves. Have a salacious September and I shall see you in a month's time. Smooches and loves xoxoxoxo
