It feels like eternity since I last posted, but yet it's only been a month. So much has happened since.
1. The new job
I've been at my new job for 3 weeks. Things haven't gone full fledged so I haven't been stretched that far yet. I guess this is still "honeymoon" stage at work. But it is incredible what I've to learn and deliver as this is a totally new area for me. In fact, it is new to the company too. In a way I feel this is to my advantage albeit a little scary to bring something up from nothing.
I don't know if it's age or the fact that I've had to make new friends each time I changed job, but this time round I feel tired of having to start over in getting to know people. It took me a long time to shred that feeling and get off my butt to make an effort.
Just this week I joined the entire department to a team building trip to Cameron Highlands. In a way, this trip is somewhat a shortcut for me to know them a little better as some of us shared rooms and we all travelled the long journey together, laughing as we watched Mr. Bones on the bus and also feeling sick in the stomach during the winding path!
With this job, my blogging days will also be significantly reduced. You see, even the Gmail website is not accessible at the office, what more Blogger. After work, I don't get home as early anymore too. When no one's home, my poor cats had to endure darkness and late dinners. It also didn't help that the recent heavy showers caused hours of jams in the city.
2. The wedding
When we first started planning the wedding since beginning of the year, it felt like we had ample time and we took things leisurely. Through the months that went by, we still felt like the wedding is months to come. But when I woke up yesterday and realised it's September already, I had some butterflies in my stomach. Not because I'm nervous about getting hitched, but I wasn't sure if we have done enough and we've only 1 month left.
We only have our weekends to do stuff, so that means we have about 4 weekends to go. And it doesn't seem like enough. So maybe it is about time I started to freak out!Sure we've done quite a lot by now, booking whatever that needs to be booked and bought most of the things we need. But I can't help but feel something's still not in place. Perhaps this is a natural phase to go through?
Anyway...with all the new changes and challenges thus far, they've all happened in a good way. And it feels like I've grown up overnight with it all. It's like I'm done reading Volume 1 of a thick book and now moving on to Volume 2. To some extent, I can't wait to get started on that new volume to see what it's like! :)
