Actually, I really haven't been up to much but I do wonder where my time goes to. I am job hunting now so got any 'lobangs' do drop me an email or sms. Most of you know I've taken a sabbatical from 'a proper job' since September last year. One of the things I have been doing is part-timing on a full hour basis at my friend Rashmi's boutique Pure Earth at Holland Village and Tanglin Mall. She showed her first runway collection at The Designers Showcase at this year's SFW and I was busy with the preparations for it. Then I moved on to another project at the label.
Essentially, I've been in retail since end May this year...I was juggling flexi adjunct teaching and Pure Earth. It was tough coz both demanded my attention. Something had to give so I gave up flexi adjunct teaching. Besides, the school was kind of far and don;t think they were happy with my frequent absences...no choice, this year has been eventful for me. There goes my professional credibility and I hope I won't be penalised for it.
Next reason why I haven't been blogging is that I caught the Facebook bug. Amazing how many people have found me or been found by me since I started. Of course, there are some who are refusing to respond to my friend requests. I know who you are, I won't forget this rejection!I am kidding...I think? Facebook, like anything else on the Web, is a two-edged sword. Vampires and Slayers are irritating me but the thought of meeting someone from high school or kindergarten, after decades of non-contact is heartwarming. To be able to hook up with one's loved ones around the globe is the best bonus of all! Just like how this blog helped me through the dark days of dad's hospitalization to update my cousins overseas, it has made the distance between me and my friends and family seem small. Sometimes, we become slave to technology and forget the heart beneath it all. Don't you agree?
