What's been Up.. If you MUST know.

So just like that, two months have flown by since my last post.

There are so many things I would like to blame it on.

Work. Catch-up dinners which I promised would come after my exams. Family time. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Movies. Work. Dive trip. Weddings. Chillouts with friends. Niece-time. Sleep. Or the lack of it. Work…Oh, did I mention that already?

And at the back of my mind, the thought would nag, “I need to write a post soon.” And I would reply back, “Ok, when I get some free time.”

And this dragged on… and a week passed, and then another… and then a month… until it dawned on me – Hey, I WON’T be getting any free time. Not any time soon, anyways. Not when I just jumped headlong back into another crazy semester of school. Not when I’m waking up at 4.30AM to work on my school assignments before heading to work. And it’s AUGUST, the month of high expectations and blood pressure. Hello, Big-time Stress. Goodbye, Beloved Sleep.

Finally, I decided I shouldn’t wait for what’s not coming. I’ve decided to sit down, with my 11PM Maggie dinner in front of me, and just WRITE. Write about what’s happened, and what’s happening, in my little world, if you care to know. But don’t get your hopes too high, I’m working on an extremely tight time limit here (think 15 minutes). Let’s see where we can go with this.

SO. After that uber long-winded explanation on my lack of presence in the past two months, here’s a little peek at what I’ve been DOING, in the last two months. Ya know… just to support my little argument with “evidence.” (Thanks a lot, dear Thinking Critically module. I have learned my lesson well.)

Wakeboarding @ Punggol Marina with my work buddies, on one of the Saturdays...

Practicing Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, or the art of "ground fighting," @ BXG Boxing & Fitness Gym, Tanjong Katong..

Niece-time...

Catch-up dinners with friends...

the start of the July semester...

changing Xiao Bai's shoes...

visiting my second home @ Dayang, Malaysia...

celebrating my second niece Kayla's first birthday...

And of course, our girls' trip to Bali <3

It's the tip of the iceberg, but it will suffice for an explanation. You don't want me to get started on the "Life is short - live it to the fullest" topic, because that is my FAVORITE quote and I could probably write a 1,500 word paper on it in one sitting; for proof, my Mom says I take it too literally already.

And now from here on, I shall attempt to update every so often...or before a month passes, anyway. It's the only way for me to hold on to the little moments of each day that will surely slip by unless I engrave it in black & white marks on a screen or paper.

Hold me to my word, please. :)
