I think I've been disappointed twice this year because I didn't get to make that trip to Melbourne when they told me I could. Vested interest for me to make that trip. Sure, the purpose of going there is to help defend the rights of the dead. Yet who wouldn't want a free ticket to Melbourne right?
I miss Il Fredo's and Chongqing hotpot. But most of all, I haven't see the boy for close to half a year already.
While eating Gelato and Chong Qing hotpot, you must be accompanied by a few of your most favourite people in the world and of course, people who love chilly as much as you do. If not, those dinner outings will surely have a big 'FAIL' sign stamped across it.
The year has been a blur of ups and downs. I got to know some crazy people. But while social life has been taking off for the most part (because believe it or not, some personality test called me an introvert), work took a turn for the worst after I came back from the training program.
What was supposed to be 6-months of pure bliss was cut short to 3 months.
It felt good to have your bosses feel as if they need you back. But the novelty wore off after 2 weeks, and I went back to feeling incompetent and unimportant in the major scheme of things.
And then you have people telling you that you deserve much more. That sparked a whole internal conflict in my mind. Then I thought, I'll just hang in here for awhile and see what else this road has to offer me before I do anything rash. Like quit my job and open a cafe while moonlighting as an event pianist. So not going to happen, I know. Even i'm pretty realistic when it comes to setting a goal.
It was good to get away from the city over Merdeka weekend though. Took a slow drive down to Chilling Waterfalls at KKB. We actually found the sign to Chillings earlier but decided to travel further. Only to realize that that was the correct sign when we were only 8 km away from Frasers.
Last minute day-trippers, L to R: Sheair, Peng, Su, J and Mel. We decided to go the day before. I guess all of us needed some sort of break.
That wraps it up for now. Hopefully in the time between this post and the next, someone would have offered me a ticket to Melbourne.
