I haven't been updating regularly here, and this is because I'm busy working, and also trying to get a hold in other aspects of my life. I try to go out with friends, keep in touch with a couple friends. I do think about whether I want to keep this diary, or close it. I feel that my entries, for a long time sometimes gives people the impression that I seemed a little bitter, and really I am not, but I wonder if I can come across like that. I haven't really decided if I wanted to close it once and for all, but for now, I would write as and when I have things to say and updates of my life.

I got in touch with another girl penpal whom I know since I was 14. God, that’s over 10 over years of friendship. Her name is Gio, and we started from letter writing, progressed to meeting in hk when I was there for holidays, and she came here once while she was on her work trip. She’s an air stewardess. We lost touch after a while, on icq, I kept her number always, but for some reason, she didn’t respond to my greetings. I supposed things happened along the way. I knew she moved out of house, rented her own apartment, she had a boyfriend, or a few, and I met one of her boyfriends while I was in hk several years back. So we chatted and caught up. We both loved a band and she said she might be coming to Singapore to watch the concert if the band is holding one here, so it will be an opportunity for me to get in touch with her again, chat, and everything. This is so good. She met my ex a few times too, I just haven’t had the chance to catch up on our lives with her.

Red boy pushed me to send out a resume on Friday. He really pushed my butt to do something. He surfed some job sites for me and posted links and got me to sit down to really work on my resume and cover letter. I was touched because he said, I was his project (to find new jobs, or new jobs in Canada and we won’t fail). I was touched that he believed that I had potential more than myself. It made me feel good about myself. I wrote my cover letter, and sent it to him for vetting, he added a little more stuff, and asked me to send it over. God, and he asked me to put in 3000 monthly salary expectation. He says the job requires an overseas attachment, if I don’t ask that much, I would probably not be compensated. Anyway, all is done, I just have to see if any good news comes out of it. That was for an academic programme specialist position. Sometimes I need such pushing and I am glad I had friends who pushed my butt.

I went to the wedding reception yesterday. The one I told you I would go with Tracy. It was nice, simple. But it was the first time I went to a Christian wedding, they sang lots of songs, and prayers and all. Now, all that religious harmony thingie I’ve been doing plays a good part. Bow my head and wished the couple a happy life ever after, that’s what I can do the least. Tracy and I didn’t stay that long after, because we were shopping before we went to the wedding, and we were eyeing on a pretty dress earlier on. We also had a light lunch and so we didn’t feel hungry. Had a drink and went back to town for more shopping. We both tried on the dress, felt it was nice and both of us bought the same blue dress. We have same skirts before, now dress too. Now we look like prim proper ladies wearing a nice Sunday dress preparing to go to church. It’s a nice light blue colour silk dress, with white pokka dots. We just lacked matching hats to go with this outfit, and we’ll be stunning-looking. Hahaha. Yes, I’m sure. Tracy says the dress brings out the fairness of my complexion. She being the darker one, I said she look very different in it and looked like a rich madame. Hehe. Anyway, she didn’t had a dress like that in her wardrobe and plus my assurances that she looked nice in it, we both bought it.

Someone I fancied has found a girl friend. I fancied him because he seems different, very calm and serene. I felt we could click. We liked some of the same things, palmistry, writing, travelling. It was a pity, but I think everything happened for a reason. I am happy for him, I really am. I just think that maybe something else is installed for me. So that's all I have to say about my private life. Nothing happening in my life right now.
