The New Phase...

Trepidation... I've spent so much time on 9gag, I think I've lost a grip on reality. The uncertainty one gets when moving out of your own comfort zone and into a new world filled with challenges. I may feel a little like a fish out of water but I'm sure I can do better than Ariel. (Not the disney version... the original tragic one). Now, the big question is... Is this what I truly wanted? God knows I'm out of time. Technology has advanced so much yet we are still no where near inventing the time machine. Dang! 

The truth is, I've lived so much for the moment, time has literally flew by. All of a sudden, the pimples are not longer coming (not that I'm complaining). But these wrinkles on my face just wouldn't go away without Botox... and would you believe it, I've picked up the art of make(ing)-up. Far from mastery but at least my face no longer resembles a baboon's butt. That's a vast improvement to be honest.

Still, I will not lose my self-deprecating sense of humor. Some people probably didn't even find me funny at all. But really... I'm hopeless at politically correct jokes. So those 'yo mama is so fat' jests with reference to my own lumpy figure will just have to do. Speaking of which, given all my passion for food, one might be surprised at how this hasn't quite turned into a food blog yet or at least peppered with pictures of the glutton at work. It's so much easier for procrastinators like me to keep the blog moving with random food pictures. I'll let you in on a little secret... Real hungry people, do not take pictures of food. They clear out the plates clean before you can whip out your camera. So there... You'll just have to take my word for it that I have tasted delicacies around the world - including dishes from Peter Gilmore's famous Quay restaurant. Have I not documented all my tales of my 'super-awesome-budget-busting' Aussie trip here? Damn. Note to self... after completion of assignments.

Alright, as usual I digress yet again. The heading reads the new phase, so what's new? Nothing has been new with me since... ok nevermind. I'm finally DONE with studying! Just a couple more assignments to clear and I'll be home-free. Yippee! But boy aren't I scared. Going through this whole course has made me learnt a lot more about myself - along with some not-so-divine intervention from a close friend. I do love writing but apparently, I'm not as good a writer as I thought myself to be. And there goes the saying, practice makes perfect. So here's to more practice and more frequent blog entries. Maybe not so politically correct at times but always an easy read.

Watch this space!

P/S: Keeping my fingers crossed for the TODAY internship.
