My LiFe

Perhaps it’s my imagination but life seems to be on a fast forward mode. Everywhere I go, people seem to be rushing around, going about their own busy little lives. Even in a job like mine, where we’re meant to care for others, the pace can get so overwhelming that we overlook the fine print. I’ve to catch myself ever so often to slow down and BREATHE.

M on leave at the moment and it’s rather refreshing to actually have time to finally wind down and relax. No early mornings for me for now… thank you very much. I just roll out of bed at 9. Even if I’m up at 7, I just lie there with my eyes closed and think… the feeling is just so zen it’s unimaginable.

Just got back from KL with diana. Gosh… we had the bestest time ever… shopping! I think I jus bought the entire Sungei Wang/ Lot 10/ Berjaya Times Square and carted it back to s’pore with me. All who have travelled/ shopped with me before will know my “potential” for emptying the store *grin* The best part of it all was actually shopping for other people… with my own money!! I bought my mom 2 handbags and a top, and a whole new outfit– right down to matching shoes and handbag for my sister. And Di and I bought presents for all our girlfriends!!

Dont know if it’s a hitting mid 20s syndrome or what but I’ve gone into this major reconnecting session with my girlfriends. We’ve always had a lot to share, a lot to gripe about together. But of late, there’s just this invisible thread of connection that strings us together. It’s almost telepathic. Di and I spent our last night in KL yakking about everything and nothing, and tonight, talking to Clam when she gave me a lift home, was a totally enlightening experience. I just love the way that I can always reconnect with some girlfriends even after a long time apart.

And it’s even more amazing when the connecting is with people I’ve never really been close to. I’m in the ward with Anu now and on our first day of work tog, we ended work in a hip cafe on orchard road gushing to each other about how we “totally know that feeling” And it’s really times like these when I truly appreciate my girlfriends. They’re like my island of sanity in this crazy world of relationships, emotions and work!

So OK, I’m starting to sound asexual and totally feminist *grin* but that’s not my stand. Just that in a busy world, busy life like mine, I always like to take a backseat for a while, and get an overview of my own life. I love to sit down and count my blessings one by one cause it makes me a happy person when I do that. Right now, I’m just very happy to have wonderful girlfriends who understand me.

3 more days of leave to go and then I’m back to running around the wards. Gonna make the most of the rest of my leave catching up with everyone… =) Hopefully I’ll still get to catch my breath in between!
