sweet november

i swear i wanted to blog but blogger wont load my photos now :(
maybe cheewee hacked into my account to prevent me from uploading photos hahaha
cause he's always saying that all i blog about is clothes/shoes, machiam its a fashion blog or online store...
so i shall attempt to blog without photos for now..
i was just thinking yesterday why i am not able to find content to blog about frequently and hon said its because i have nothing on in my life..
nothing to complain about, hahaha

so.......
i might just be starting another new job in dec
if all things fall nicely
its another AE job but this time round i hope that it wont have all of the bad traits that IMG had
sometimes i wonder still whether i did the wrong thing by leaving my 1st job so early
but i remind myself of the crazy days
and i think it would have robbed me of my sanity and my health if i were to continue staying there, just for the sake of doing so
i am going to just keep my mind and options open
its getting really boring to just do nothing
restricts my personal development and growth haha
no doubt slacking is good, but too much just isnt healthy

increasingly, i've been wondering about the future
trying to see when the milestones will happen
things like when will i be getting my 1st car
when will i get married
at what age will i have my 1st kid
will there be more than one baby
how my career path will turn out
will i become a manager before 30
things like that you know
things that were not so important when you were 17 or 18
but at 23, going on 24, they seem to be glaring into my face
everywhere i turn, people seem to be getting married, or tending to kids
when will it be my turn to be someone's 'sister' at her wedding?
i dont see any of my friends getting married yet (except shuhui - next year - and im incredibly thrilled and excited to think of attending her dinner)
a little sad that i dont have a dozen of girlfriends
but then again, better to have a few close ones than a bunch of acquaintances
im also happy that one of my closest girls got attached recently
i hope its a brand new start to an amazing relationship!

hon and i have been thru much lately, but ever since a really loud bawling session at tampines mall no less, i really somehow feel like i've let go of alot of things from the past... be it grievances, grudges or fears dating back to old experiences. and since then we have been much closer than before and its something i am really thankful for. for what it's worth, it was worth all the while.

i think we got to realise, there are trade-offs in life
when you gain being comfortable around each other, you lose novelty
when you gain fame, you lose anonymity
when you gain a lover, you lose some friendships
these are just some of the examples
but we can always think on the brighter side and turn the situation around
being comfortable around your lover but losing novelty, you open doors you wouldnt dare to or dreamt of as comppared to if you guys were still pretending that you dont dig nose or squeeze your blackheads secretly. everyone knows novelty doesnt last anyway. there will always be something newer out there, in all aspects of life
being famous, you can see it as an opportunity to do great things and have people look up to you as their role models (though personally i love my privacy too much to want to be famous)
and when you lose some friendships because someone new came into your life (and maybe has already left), well, these aint the friendships that are worth keeping anyway if your friends couldnt even put themselves in your shoes and be more understanding
so, as hon wrote on his facebook -

'at some point in time, we gotta recognise the need to be a little more careless with the smaller things and focus on the bigger picture. its time we not let our lives be bound by trival insecurities, and start to treat ourselves with a little bit more'

we shouldnt always be our own critic/enemy.

so there, i managed to write an entire post without any photos.
the old me would have been proud of myself for indulging in just words.

goodbye or see you,
I'll be your best kept secret or your biggest mistake.
