Blog more

I feel sad for my poor blog. Like many other blogs, it has been neglected and cast aside. Replaced by trendier online avenues or perhaps the writers are all too busy living life, instead of just writing about it.

Strangely I didn't bother thinking about any new years resolutions this year. Perhaps because i had too many other things on my mind, I just wanted 2012 to start as soon as possible.

I am now in Aberdeen, North East part of Scotland. Tomorrow I start a new job, a normal job, with normal working hours; which I am so thankful to have got. Over the weekend I moved into a room in a flat, sharing it with a yoga teaching granny landlady, a PhD student from Bulgaria and a quiet Scot I've yet to talk to properly. In time I will probably get to know them well, and hopefully they me.

One year.

This time last year I was waiting to be contacted about a job in London, things were unsure, relationships were uncertain. Its funny how things fall into place, or you think they don't fall into place but then you look back and realize how they actually do.

I'm really looking forward to this year.

Right now though, I'm trying to drink a cup of hot chocolate, thinking ironically that my hot chocolate is too hot to drink, and it's burnt my tongue.

Hate it when that happens.

You sure you won't become a permanent Scot? :-)

I know how it feels neglecting blogs. I have my fair share of blogs neglected, but I still write as often as possible in my personal blog (only for me, coz found out that the things I write too sensitive and personal). And I know it is a very, very tiring process to write, but keep at it, because it makes a person so much more reflective instead of too forward looking to the point of neglecting the past.

How have you been? Hard to keep in touch with you. Found you on FB, but some how, not able to send you friend request.

Just updated another blog of mine, after two long years, at scenes-of-penang.blogspot.com . Maybe it will remind you so much of home you will return :p

All the best ya!
