okok. I know. I've been unfaithful to this site. I've basically set up a new home elsewhere in the cyber arena and been taking time off to settle in that district 10. Its been quite comfortable so far and yes yes, I will throw a cyber house warming party when my intricate trimmings are done. To date, nothing has changed from good ol' nat. Everything's still revolving ard work, play, school. I've had a surprise visitor who came to Singapore early June to visit - will be having the whole family from America in July (can't wait) and had someone special returning back to my life in a way. I take comfort in the little things Ive been blessed with and yes - without a doubt, thank you for the friends who have certainly spiced up my life in their little quirky ways (you know who you are). My boss has been receptive and kind to me of late, allowing more growth and opportunities (all those pep talks have been freaking me out) and so have been my mom, supportive in every other aspect. Today, I was declared the unofficial shopping whore after buying too much nonsense (within an hour!) but it was actually more of over compensating for not participating in the GSS. What can I say. Retail therapy has its price to pay.
