a Journey

The week break has ended, and here I am sitting in the school's lab with a mountain of work looming in the future. A mountain of work looming in the future; that is so deja vu. A week can be an amazingly short or long period of time, depending on what lies ahead. In the course of the week, I have:

• Changed my entire look. All thanks to a great haircut from the stylist at REDS at Bugis(Singapore). Well, during the course of today, I've had plenty of comments. I'm not sure how nice I look right now, for lack of a better word. But, the comments have been coming... and y'know what I realised? I LIKE change. Change, no matter how minor does help to add a lil' spring to your steps. :) (Maybe that's how the reasoning for retail therapy goes: buying something new=a minor change to your wardrobe=happy me!)
• Taken my appreciation of all the gurls I have in my life, and the family that I can call mine, to a whole new level. I guess it was the night I went out with people I thought I could call my friends, and realised that I'd been wrong all along. It is when you don't know what everyone knows; the awkward moments of silence and sudden new discoveries... Moments like this jolt you into the fact that you are NOT a part of the everyone. I have come to learn just how precious, how rare, genuine trustworthy friends are. And all that I have now, I will hold close and treasure dearly.
• Been given hope that my baby boy may return to me! I want to walk down Orchard with him; go tanning at East Coast; drag him for makeovers at Topshop; cuddle with hot kopi to a good ol' sitcom... I miss those, and I've been missing them for the past 10 months plus. It'd be lovely to be able to have that (again). Finally. :)
