Friday...

hi ppl....thanks to those who msged me and have asked about how I am doing...
Right...this is the first official blog post ever since I came back...well, which wasn't too long ago...

I returned on Monday night....touched down at 11+pm....it has not really been an easy week for me since...
Lots of unpacking to do...my whole room is in a mess with all my baggage from the past 1 year...
I was suffering pretty terribly from jet lag this time, which kinda surprised me because I was pretty alright the last few times I flew across the world...
Well, I fell sick on Wednesday and as I type now, am almost fully recovered....
I had had and am still rushing my business case analysis...
Was grumbling to Xian that instead of relaxing, resting, going out to meet frens and play....i still have to rush my work...which is kinda sucky...but well, dat's life...

Alright....
It's a pretty huge transition for me....a change of living environment, a change of school environment...I no longer go to work everyday like how i used to...I'm surrounded by different ppl now...etc...
But i guess fortunately for me, I did return in May...and so this time round, it doesn't feel so surreal for me....

I have been to well, i'd say, most, if not all the major cities in US...some parts of Canada and Puerto Rico...the last 3+wks of traveling with my family covered even more cities which I hadn't been to previously...
it was fun but pretty tiring at times...

In the last 1 to 2 mths...I have mellowed...
I knew sth was missing...and I know what it is right now.....
Perhaps it was the fact dat the 1 yr journey was ending and I slumped into the relaxed mood....
Perhaps I was just too tired and burnt out after the first 11 months of non-stop chionging....
My fighting spirit and the desire to succeed had dropped somewhat...
Somehow, someone said something yesterday that acted as a stimulus to me....
I know now what's missing already...
and I'm gonna get it back...
I will need a bit of time....to resettle, to finish up my work before school starts (hopefully)...and well, to just organise my thots, organise my room...ORGANISE my LIFE.....

Sure...indeed....I do feel a little lost now....
I have no qualms in admitting that....Looking ahead in the future moving forward....
I have great ambitions but right now, I am pretty much stalled...
Like i just said, i reali need to get things moving....and by that, I'll need to organise my life....

But don't worry....I will be right back before I even know it myself....
Just received an email from my CFO who asked me if I can help to do some work for the company that i did before....I am totally fine with that...
Aniwaiz...what I wanted to say was that as I was brushing my teeth 20mins ago and thinking of posting a blog entry....i started thinking abt my CFO....
He's successful, very well-to-do and has a blissful and loving 30 year marriage...
I want to emulate and even surpass that kind of success he has had in life....
I do admire him quite a lot actually.... =p

Well, as I was planning my modules for the semester ahead....I know that life is not going to be easy in the next 1yr too....
Could it be tougher than what I have had to handle in the US myself in the past year?
I doubt so....but I am not going to underestimate anything that's upcoming...
Relationship too....I hope...yah, and I seriously hope it will turn out great and not be something that bothers me instead....So far, I'd think that it's better than the minimum i'd expect of it....so, so far so good i guess....

Nevertheless, I'd still say....bring it on....
Challenges in life are inevitable...All kinds of challenges as one grows up....
This is a new challenge for me...I do not necessary enjoy it but I will over come it/them as they come...

I haven't said this to anyone in a long time...
but it's sure time to remind myself....

The Tougher the Obstacle,
The more Glory in Overcoming it...
Bring it on...
