This week has been my social week in Singapore. Been away and hiding behind the curtains for sometimes. Not doing it on purpose but hardly to find time with my schedule today. But I miss the talking, chatting, laughing time with all my friends. Since I’m in Singapore for the one whole week, I decided to make calls and plans with friends. A week of 5 days, 6-7 appointments the max I will do. Making use the time during lunch for a quick catch up and after work for dinner or drinks.
It is exhausting especially I will still spend 1-2 hours to catch up some works back home (sleep at odd hours and woke up the next morning like a panda!) but I’m feeling good at the same time. It always good to catch up with friends, have a good laugh, talk nonsense here and there. Been really stressed out for the past few months. This month is the worst. With the new portfolio, things that I’m working on, study and house renovation. I’ve been struggling to balance my life. But life goes on, I have friends around me who cares and can make me laugh and relieve my stress. 
Of course not all the catch up ended up with happy ending, I do sometimes bring some burden with me too. It been awhile I meet meet up with J. The last we met was about 6 months ago. Tried to contact him several times but no response. With my schedule I did not really do a good follow up with him. Apparently he is the one who is really hiding from everyone. I was so happy that he finally replied my message and make an appointment with me for dinner together. I know about all his problems through our common friends but he never mentioned about it to me personally. I would love to help him in anyway. We know each other for almost 10 years now. Been close to each other 5-6 years ago. He is a brilliant guy, I always look up to him when I needed some advises in both personal and professional matters. I do hope that he will be more open to me too. Even though he did share some of his problems to me but still hiding something else. I wish I could help more.
After the dinner with J, I met up with P for a drink to catch up where we left out last on his visit in Paris. Have some good feedback and it makes my day. Before we bid goodbye, he gave me a homework to do. The question is to find what is the purpose of my life with 3 answers and list with the priority of each of them. I’m surprise that I was caught without able to provide an answer. I think it will take sometimes to answer this but I found the closest to my heart today. The quote below:
“The purpose of life is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience.†― Eleanor Roosevelt
I will write more when I finally get the answer.
This week thanks to PS for her gift – it suppose to be a farewell catch up for her before she move to Shanghai. I did not get her anything but in turn she gave me the shisha bottle. Feel bad though…. thinking I should get her something for her bday.
Thanks M & C for the dinner and laughter. Can see that I’m very tired but you gals make my day!
The social week to continue in KL but with breaks in between. ^^
