To recollect and tell of past experiences or events.

hmm I like doing this once in a while. It is funny and joyful to look behind you and smile at the path you have taken. The viewpoint is always rewarding.

Now I have reached a point in my life that I have always wanted to be. Yet there is more to come. I want more. I know I can achieve more. I know the future stores a lot more for me. I can feel it deep in my heart that my journey in life is long and soo full.

Back in July 2005, mid summer in Birmingham. I started writing my thesis. I wrote this

I announce my marriage to my Thesis today!

Wednesday, July 6th, 2005

Today I start on my thesis.. nothing much just bloody stressed and wondering if i will ever survive it without anyone special in my life.. (I recently got single then.. hahahha I was really sad and lonely... duh)

My industrial supervisor yesterday said she is happy with my work so far. My academic supervisors are all also happy with it.. Great.. now I just need to start writing up.. but it feels so lonely without that special person next to you giving that special understanding… (oooh nooooo... hhahahahha so kesian)

hmm anyway.. I did update my CV today and gonna apply to do some post doc jobs around… and also started on my thesis.. basic templating in Word.. and sorting out my reference manager.. boring stuff… then Risa (my sexy skilled rich hairdresser/friend).. match maked me with a Hong kong guy called tony.. not my type.. but he was a recruitment guy so.. i got his email anyway just in case it resulted in a job.. hehehehe (i dont remember the guy anymore,, i did not even remember this)

anyhoo.. i am gonna go back to work.. and msning.. ppl.. heheheh :p


That was it.. very short two paragraph first blog of mine. :) Oh so sweet. Now I am at another point which I have to kickstart. The research side of my academic work. Don't get me wrong.. I have done some but I have to get this machine on full swing now.

Lots to do...

How did they find a Gem of a Guy?

This blog is not a reference point to give a tried and true method of finding a Gem of a Guy but just a sharing of experience. I have talked to a few friends who had good solid marriages and I summarised what I learned from them in this blog. I wrote it as a continuation to my last blog on why do good girls choose bad boys? Every time I met a friend who had a very steady and good husband I never failed to ask them how they found these guys. The first thing they always say is that they never liked their present husbands initially and that they had other choices whom they preferred more. However their present husbands did not give up pursuing them for months or years. These men did not stop showing them how much they were cared for. These men came to visit the family and genuinely tried to show how they appreciate them in front of their families and friends. These men were not self centered. These men would try and know your likes and dislikes. Eventually the genuine care was evident. ...

The biggest challenge

The challenges I had in my life were numerous. I come from a very average family. We had food on the table. We had the hand me down clothes. To aspire for a change in life meant I needed to work harder than I ever did. So I did. I worked hard at school for 5 years to get myself eligible for a scholarship. I faced failure after failure to get a decent grade to be able to continue for a degree. I worked hard to get my postgraduate scholarships. Went through so much downs and still I stood up again to just finish what I started. I stand here now thinking if I did all that why is it so hard to do this one thing. To forgive the unforgivable. My insides are all in pain. I want to set myself free. I want to forgive. I want to move on. Lord God in all my travels and adventure I never stopped talking to you. Today more than any other time I implore you to help me forgive.

Metamorphosis

Today is two weeks.. Two weeks of what? I let you guess. It is just sufficient to state that. I never thought I would have to do this. Make such changes in my life and my children's life. I have no choice. In my mind's eye, I never imagined this picture. How can I live?... I tell you what. I do it day to day, week by week, fortnightly by forthnightly.... soon it will be year by year and decades by decades.. By that time, I probably be glad I did this. Pain and time. Time helps heal all pain. I hope that is true. The pain is unimaginable. The pain is great. I pray for peace and calmness in my soul, Joy and Happiness for my kids. I can do this... I can take this role. I can metamorph into this... just give me time... I have to picture this clear in my head. I have to make this picture strong that I succeed and I triumph over adversity. God give me the strength to change what I can change, give me patience, guidance, protection and love.
