Year 2011 is coming to an end soon! Time passed so fast… its been almost a year since I graduated from college. Last year I was busy preparing for my graduation and packing my luggages in Brissy. I remembered feeling quite happy, relaxed and excited because I was finally done with my studies and mum was coming over to spend the festive season with me. Things are quite different this year… Here I am in Singapore working my life away and having little time for myself, family and friends.

This is not my first time working but somehow I am quite upset about sacrificing my personal time for work. Maybe it is due to the difference in wages between down under and Singapore… I don’t mind giving up my leisure time if there is the monetary value to compensate for it. But this is my first full time job in Singapore so I will do my best to secure the job even though I’m not exactly liking the job. I’m hoping that I will receive a better job offer from overseas very soon then I can fulfil my dream of leading an expatriate lifestyle.

Christmas is coming soon and this year I’m spending a longer time doing the Christmas shopping. Maybe its due to the lack of variety in choices of Christmas gifts as compared to down under. Or it could be due to my fickle-mindedness that is delaying the gift shopping process. I have a feeling that I will be absent from the year-end festive gatherings with friends so I want to put in more effort in getting gifts that will put a smile on their faces. Hopefully they will not forget me! (laugh) I can’t help feeling insecure about my relationship with my loved ones because I haven’t been spending enough time with them!!

For the month of December next year, I hope I will be able to lead a happier life, having a better job and the time to spend the festive season with my loved ones. I’ll keep praying for a better future.

Wish me luck.

Love & Hope
