A new chapter will begin.I guess May would be another roller coaster month for me. But before I welcome May, I would like to (officially) close one of my most eventful adventure in the month of April.
This week brought me many news. Disapointment, maybe a tinge but perhaps the news signal paths, or perhaps gifts from God. I realize that maybe it is in God's plan, L UK is not for me. Perhaps also P. Ironically, I felt a relief, as if the burden on me has been lifted for a while. I have been seeking for answers of whether L is really meant for me. Somehow, it is not.
Also,when I have almost given up on S, it re-appear unexpectedly, I can opt to start in June. Is it really an indication from HIM? As I've mentioned, I really like the job nature and the prospects. But there are also other aspirations that I would like to give a shot. Haha...it reminds that sometimes in life, the more you wanna seek it, the more you can't reach it. Likewise, the more you try to avoid it, it came rolling in unexpectedly. How true this can be.
My friend, YP and her parents also came to London last Sunday. I revisited Bath with them. Nostalgia flooded within me. I came to Bath with my other 6 coursemates in Dec 2006. It was pretty rush trip but nonetheless great. I think back then, it was the camaraderie that matters. You've get to know people, the way they are -you laugh, argue and cry with them. But I guess that's what makes them so speacial. Also probably because we are so diverse,we have 'interesting' personalities. Suddenly, I could feel the breeze of time.Whew, years go by just like that.
I am planning for a holiday now as to give some space to my friend. So, I would have about 2 weeks plus to travel. I am still in the midst of planning, yet I still can't decide the timing to fit the places that I wanna visit.It has been quite a while since I last travel alone. I think it was in the year 2002, when I was in the Eastern Europe.I never thought that 6 years later I am doing this again, in this continent. Again,life is unexpected.
Another remark worth mentioning here is that during these 2 weeks, I had very good home cooked food. 'Bak kut teh', raw salmon (thanks W, but unfortunately, I don't really know how to eat raw fish), scallop porridge (thanks to YP mum), herbs soup (C's specialty) and many many more. Hehe, it also makes me wanna learn to cook. YP's mum is really a good cook, with all the 'techniques' of cooking great dishes. Wow, one day if I have the chance, I really wanna learn from her.
I don't know what is there set for me in the road ahead. But one thing for sure, I will take the challenges ahead in stride, at the same time, not to put pressures on myself. I've learnt and discover a few things these 2 weeks though: 1) I really like YP's parents, especially her mum. She is not only a good cook, but courtesy, respect, sense of humour, tolerance are the attributes that makes her a very good mum,wife and a person. I honestly think that YP's dad is a lucky man! 2) W, is also an 'unusal' man, he not only loves cooking but he is very good in it! Also, the way he cares for his wife and his wife's friends and parents makes him really a very unique and loving man. 3) I admire C's confidence and hospitality. Her unexpected experience during her @ traineeship and her courage somehow motivate me.
