Oktober is a history



Dear Diary,

We have unknowingly trespassed into November 2017; we watched the pale red Autumnal leaves cascading from the trees like snowflakes, before the branches become barren. Then the snowflakes fall gently, softly upon the grounds, landing soundlessly upon surfaces hard and soft.

What happened in October?  A plethora of events related to work, seminars, workshops, business deals, rushing to hit CPD points, and other considerations that excited me. There was Halloween but I did not get to do the trick-or-treat. Would be fun if I got to dress up.

Thinking back, did I manage to find time to meet my friends?  Considerably lessened - apologies for that. Managed to attend 2 close friends' weddings over 2 weekends, as well as a good friend's baby girl's first year birthday.  Nice catching up and unwinding.






Other than weekdays, everyday is like clockwork - even on weekends I am following schedules. 10am - supervising the part-time helpers.  2pm - shopping. 4pm -  visit the Mom.  6pm - dinner at the in-laws.  You get the drift.  I need to get back to Yoga and lots, lots of meditation.  I am happy that I learned a lot from the people I have been networking with as well - including discovery of some fascinating ideas and religions I never knew existed.

Lots, lots of shopping done, mainly for the Vancouver trip - gifts, winter clothing, Christmas stuff.  The malls are already starting on Christmas adornment, and carols are being played - but the festive mood is taking a while to show.

Need a break. Need to chase the dreams that formed after a certain wake-up call.
