Misunderstood

I know. I am sorry. For the longest time, I have not been writing, especially for those of you who cares. Sadly or fortunately, this blog (and sometimes, sms-es) has been the only means to know briefly how I am doing. I know it's weird. But I have really been very swamped and adjusting to a so-called new life.

My previous job scope was mainly web design and IT support; my new role now deviates and expands towards the business domain. It means that there are new skill sets to learn and acquire, with responsibilities and exposure that mature your thinking almost instantly. All's gone up to the next level; including stress. It is very challenging despite a good seven years of working experience; and the small team that we are, it is almost forbidden to go for a holiday or fall ill. The comforting thing is, most days are fun.

When I fell quite ill recently, I do want to hear some encouraging and heartfelt messages, just in case you don't get an opportunity to say them to me ever. To benefit both ways, I am still reachable via all communication channels if you want to. I am not kidding. More often than not, love and appreciation are either not expressed or too late.

TY is finally back from Mumbai after 35 days. I miss having dinner with family and having more time at night to myself. O, I owe myself a trip to Phuket. Most days, I basically come home to bathe, enjoy minutes of various SCV channels and then collapse. Sleeping well and eating regularly have become a luxury. But I think I should find a balance.

So many things have happened, I can't possibly share them all with you but I can only say there's a lot of struggles, heartaches and self-discovery. I can't tell if Jan is still Jan, or that she has changed somewhat. Maybe not as whirlwindy and critical as you knew her to be - because she knows many are just as misunderstood as she is.
