Not Farewell, but See You Again.

I had an interim entry up on 20th July, but I removed it after realising that it was quite.. inappropriate.

The reason behind my absence is.. I've been trying to carve a work-life balance for myself. Well, sort of. I've been really busy with work and my free time is usually taken up in advance, so I tend to use the time I truly have to myself to.. game. Hey, it's a good temporary release from the trials and tribulations life tends to throw at me.

I think everyone will go through a phase whereby life as they know it will never quite be the same again. Comfort zones are broken and new challenges await. It's not really a bad thing, but it's just.. different.

Sent one of my best girldotfriends off last week. We had dinner on Sunday night, and I made the journey to LCCT on Tuesday night after I got off work.

Aurelia, together with Elaine and Amanda, make up my strongest support network from the opposite sex. Having known each other for quite a fair bit of time already, we might have had our disagreements, but in the end they were always there for me when it mattered the most, and they all have their own unique story to tell as to how our friendship started and developed along the way.

So I guess it was natural that when Elaine and Aurelia left for Singapore and Australia to pursue their career and Masters degree respectively, with Amanda following suit next year, that I felt a little funny inside.

But hey. That's how life works, I guess.

Despite all that, they have been constants in my life these past few years, and I have all the reason to believe that no matter what happens, they will still be, because they are different from the rest.

Yes, I'm missing you guys.
