Happy Easter to everyone!

Saw Audrey's email first thing in the morning when I opened my account. Very touched by it and felt rather blue after that. Sorry for not having the time to meet up with some of my dearest frens in the world before going off. Not that I'll be gone forever, but still, I miss you gals a lot. Audrey, Wenjie, Jingting, the squad... all the frens that have followed me from the time when we were in pinafores in St. Nicks. Though we dun meet up nor talk often, the bond is still there whenever we do catch up. Thank God for technology; can still contact you whenever I need good, solid advice :)

Thanks also to a self-confessed "friendly nerd" who has been messaging me. I am doing fine, really. Habit of procrastination is hard to overcome, but I am trying heh. Thanks oso to dearest cousin, Fern. Nice talking to you the other night. Hope things are going on better for you. Email me if anything ok.

Saw a very relevant article on Readers' Digest today: "Things You should consider before going into Family Biz". Very true indeed hohoho. Had been a bit xian cos Dad told me to start thinking abt my future. Isn't that what I've been doing all these while?!? Am sorry to say that I was impatient in response to that. I know the entire extended family has their own opinions abt what I am doing with my life and I have been less than happy at what I have heard so far, especially as all of them choose to air their opinions without even asking me wat was going on. Perhaps I do indeed appear unfrenly and as such, nobody dares to talk to me in case I bite. Sigh, guess it's something I should work on, esp as it makes for bad testimony. Yunling is right in telling me that I need to learn to be meek in Spirit. Yet, on the other hand, why am I always so affected by what other ppl say? At the end of the day, I have to be the one living my own life and as long as the only One I am responsible to is fine with it, everything shd be fine. The balance between the two is a challenge that I have to overcome.

Mapped out some options and thought abt future direction today. Realised that I simply dun pray enough abt the things that matter. Need to focus and pray strategically from now onwards. Oso need to move in some directions. May He show me the way and His plans for my future.
