Actually, nowadays, nothing much happens and my life has all of a sudden become so routined. I feel like that are many things that I want to do, that I'd really like to do, but I can't. Maybe, it's just meant to be this way. I still remember Mrs. Anantha saying that I'll still have to find time to enjoy. I guess she's right because anyone is just bound to dislike what they're doing if what they're doing doesn't give them time and space to do what they enjoy. Yup, anyone, even a cleaner at a hawker centre deserves a break!

Speaking of that, I really can't wait for our trip to Bintan in a few weeks time. My family and I are going and this is really the 1st time that I'm travelling to somewhere near Singapore with my family, besides India. I love the feeling when the breeze blows through your hair when you're in the beach filled with salty white sand and cool, calm waters. It's something close to paradise. Just hope that I'll be able to rewind there. I can't wait.

Since, I'm going on this trip, I'll be missing puyal. I know that my friends would understand since this is a family thing. Still, can empathize how it feels when you're really expecting someone to come for sth but the person can't make it. I'm really sorry guys.
Well, I guess no pain no gain!

I realize that hardwork does not really apply to just studies. When a housewife is at home washing the dishes, doing the laundry, preparing for meals, lloking after the kids. All this is also sheer hardwork. The same applies to a working woman, a construction worker, a provision shop owner etc.

You know, a lot of people believe that me being in shop and helping out is equivalent to experiencing holidays. Well, I suppose that that's just external view. In real fact, being in shop everyday, dealing with customers with all kinds of characters, missing out lots of family time etc. are the things that are really going on. I can tell you that I don't considerthis as a holiday. I guess my family has put me through this only to realize what hardwork means. leading an easy life really should never be a choice to anyone who wishes to succeed in life. I'm really grateful to my family for letting me go thorugh all these. At first it felt like an ordeal to me, very enervating, esp. because of my allergy to dust. But I know that all these obstacles that I had had to take in my stride are things that have shaped me to become stronger and more matured in life. Now, I feel that I'm able to steer myself in the direction I really want to go towards my goal. I'm not trying to earn sympathy or boast my efforts to anyone. There's no need for me to.But I know that there are many people who empathize with thefeelings that I experienced in the beginning in shop. So, here's something to those who feel lost and thinking what they're working so hard for, doing something they dislike.

Reading some of my friends' blogs, I realize how much disappointments or longings in love can hurt someone. Also, I'm surprised at the way they handle it, so subtely and with so much control over their feelings. I really admire them.
That's it for now.

Love,
