My birthday this year was a simple yet rather special affair.

It started with work and then I was sent out for a seminar.

Came back and met up with friends for an interesting meal.

Got introduced to food I have never tried before.

The local delights.

They were always laughign at me for not haveign tasted many of the local food.

And so yea I was educated that night. :p

The next day I was off to Malaysia for a retreat.

Work still but it was a good break.

Met and catch up with people I worked with previously.

It was great seeing them.

Still enjoying the bickering that we had.

That’s just how we communicate.

And it presses into my heart that I should do something to maintain this rather new friendship.

That it shouldn’t just be about work.

But it should really be a real friendship.

The 2 days was a good break.

I realised that throughout that 2 days, I was happy.

Not having to think about anything.

And forgetting about all the things that’s happening.

I didn’t revisit any of the emo moments.

And that’s great.

Came back feeling slightly refreshed and with a maybe new mentality.

Though I’m not too sure if i can really pull it off for long.

But at least I’m not crying now.

I guess, reality is setting in and I’m taking it better.

And I’m trying to put all hopes down and aside.

Everyday convincing myself of the possibly truth.

And i guess that works.
