Where's my wallet?

Yesterday morning, I had this déjà vu feeling while I was rampaging through my bag at the bus stop. I fogotten that essential item AGAIN....

 

I have forgotten my wallet. With my face covered with perspiration, I had to retrace my journey from the bus stop back to my home to get the missing item. The missing in action wallet was in the bag that I was using the previous day. Sigh ...

 

A similar incident happened not so long ago and I ended up late for work for half an hour. I really disliked being late and was upset for the whole day.

 

Many important people in my life had been discouraging my bike possession and plus my inability to handle bigger and more powerful bike. These are the major contributors to my attempt to take the public transport more often and reduce my reliance on my 2 wheel great buddy.

 

I failed yesterday, as I ended up heading for my bike right after recovering my missing in action wallet. And I made it to work in good time and 5 minutes to spare to buy kopi-o from burp. Don’t give up on me I will still try. But riding is truly very enjoyable with good weather and absence of inconsiderate drivers.

Home concept

People come and go. During the past week, got notice of friends leaving Singapore. One of them is my colleague who is just got engaged to an Australian and will be settling down there. And the other a friend I met on the SQ flight to Ho Chi Minh whom will be shifting base to Korea. Their departures consist of different nature and motive but they both told me one same thing.

 

"It is tiring to shift around and it not all that desirable to keep moving."

 

Hope both will be able to settle down in their new place soon and will be able to find home in their next denstination. All the best my friends.

 

Guess everyone needs to feel belong and to have a home. I am very grateful that I have a home. Home is here in Singapore where my family and friends are. I wanted to strike out by myself to the great unknown and having a home as a backing gives me an extra advantage. Knowing that there is somewhere to come back to when things gets sour or too tiring is really a blessing. In order not to take things for granted, how or what can I do for my home and ensure that it will always be there for me. The concept is quite fuzzy to me now but will do my best when the time comes.

 

A short while ago, I was talking my cousin who is stationed in Shanghai. She had some disagreement with her boss, their ideals and belief cannot converge and compromised. I urged her to resolve the differences and reminded that if all else fails she can always come home. It then daunt on me the strength of the home concept and how much cushioning that it could provide to one at trying times.

 

Two more months to go and I will be seeking for my ticket to the unknown.

Arrival of Wilfred

Wilfred had arrived early! I was expecting him on the 15th of September and was rather disappointed that I will be away thus missing his arrival.

 

On the 2nd of September, I received a sms from Irene announcing his arrival. I was pretty surprised really as I was just checking with Irene a few days prior to the news. But I was all the same overjoyed for the newly parented Irene and Jason.

 

When to Thomson Medical Centre to visit the trio the following day, it was the busiest maternity ward that I have even sat in. I believe my dear friends must have been kind and dear to people around them. I am blessed to have friends like them. Didn’t do much while I was there but sat there observing the happy parents and concerned families and friends.

 

Guess it will be huge part missing in one’s life without starting a family. Hey I do hope that I can experience that someday…. 

Camau withdrawal symptom

My love hate relationship with Camau project had came to a sudden halt. On the 21st of Aug that is about 3 weeks ago, the project was stopped by my engineering head as there was some problem on payment from my project side. I was asked to ignore all queries and suspended all work on this project. I suffer from a major withdrawal symptom after that. Though I was pretty glad at the beginning as I was finally able to clear my table and do my filing. But then it got pretty boring and time was difficult to pass. Luckily work was allowed to progress but I was still unable to complete my submission as a further instruction was issued by my engineering head not to do any submission of documents and drawings. This is really disheartening for me and my designers as it was like traveling without a destination.
 
I have been taking leave these weeks; it was not so constructive towards my general drive at work and also to ensure that I will have enough leave for my grand travel plans. Let hope things will pick up at work and projects will come rolling in.
