A fine city

Bread and butter

I thought every relationship mellows down after awhile. Gone are the thrills and spills that often accompany a blossoming romance. In comes familiarising with each other's habits, accepting each other's flaws, accepting each other for who they are. IF that is not what a relationship is all about, I don't know what is.

In transition

Contrary to popular belief, I am still alive. Quite in the pink of health I would say. It's hard not to be, though, as being unemployed there's nothing much I can do other than getting ample sleep and swimming and jogging.

But that's not to mean that I have been wasting my days away ever since graduation. Letters sent, interviews attended, time passed. And yet still there hasn't been any news of any offers coming in. Despite all the hoo-ha about the economy picking up and jobs bountiful in these prosperous times, I still remain an unwanted piece of unpolished gem left on the display shelf. Thankfully I remain in no hurry to auction myself away to the fasted bidder. I very much enjoy remaining on the shelf, thank you very much, until I finally see a good owner.

And that good owner has finally come, I think. I just hope they will turn a second glance at me and call me up for the second interview. This time I must grab this opportunity with both hands, for too many times in my life had I made lazy decisions and not fought for what is best for me. Too many times these decisions turned out to be wrong. YES - I will not repeat those same old mistakes that I had been so accustomed to.

Here's wishing everyone a happy National Day.
