Today was "I-wanna-disappear" day,
But I ended up bumping into a handful of people.

Caught up a little with FY over coffee,
And I ended up brooding more than I wanted to.
I know I've been telling people,
That there aren't always answers to questions,
And we can't get closure for everything,
But I am just the kind of person,
Who will be very unhappy,
If I have to live with the lack of closure,
And the lack of answers.

Been feeling quite down on and off for the last few days.
And no it isn't about the 'lao hong' thing anymore.

I need some changes in my life.

A change of career,
A change of friends,
A change of life... ...
Perhaps?
How much happier will I be?
Honestly, I can't say for sure.

Something that may satisfy all the above,
Is to get a job overseas (or an overseas posting).
I had told myself that 'we' shall look at that option,
In about two to three years' time,
But the truth is,
I am running out of patience -
Perhaps with myself.

Nodira Boimatova from Tajikistan,
Succeeded in her jewellery investment,
And hence has repaid my fully via Kiva.
Congratulations!

Instead of sticking to the previous plan,
Of leaving the money rolling in Tajikistan,
I have decided to move the money to Tanzania,
To help this group of people do their thing:


Eva Emil's Nguvu Mpya Group

All the best, entrepreneurs!

Quiet Drinking Sessions Desired

Beach Ball Babes ended on Friday,
Which in a way is great,
Because it means that I can stop rushing home,
And start spending more time in the office,
Burning my youth away in front of the monitor.

On Thursday, however,
I was all prepared to miss an episode of the show,
To check out the Garden Festival at Suntec,
With company that beats Joanne Peh hands down.
Unfortunately things took a twist at the eleventh hour,
Freeing me up to be home alone watching the lame show.

Since that moment,
I've been suffering from a 'blah' feelings,
That she aptly coined as ---
"Lao hong*".
