All truths are easy to understand once they are discovered; the point is to discover them…

Dearest blog,

I’m awfully, awfully sorry to have neglected you for the past few weeks or so. I know that it hasn’t been the busiest time but so much has been happening in recent weeks that I do get a little confused whenever I plan to share how things are with you. But still, I hope that this would suffice… (:

Okay, where do I begin… Oh! You know, I made a trip back to Singapore about two weeks back to get my employment pass done and to move to a new place (Yes, again). I touched down at about six p.m. and I had pre-arranged to move some stuff over at about nine. Anyway, things weren’t going well, not at all. In fact, I was on the verge of going mental. Firstly, I received a couple of smses that weren’t the least encouraging. Apparently, we were shortchanged of over a thousand bucks despite being told otherwise.

Secondly, while I was rushing to get all my packing done within two hours, I realized that I lost my only set of house keys! Frantically, I began turning my unpacked stuff upside down, and unpacking my packed stuff inside out, all to no avail. I was distraught. It wasn’t just a set of keys. It meant not being able to leave the place for as long as I remained locked in, it meant not being able to move to the new place. Well, to cut the long story short, I managed to get them back – I had left them in the keyhole on the way in. Yeah, laugh all you want but these kinda things do happen I guess… It’s just rather unfortunate that it had to happen on an extremely busy day. But then again, things like these wouldn’t happen if I had time to spare would it? Either way, I guess that experience taught me alot. Nothing about house keys and absent-mindedness though. I figured that patience and trust were the real deals here. You see, it’s in times like these where we usually try to be in control over everything, it’s in times like these where we are focused on the problem, not the solution (or even potential solutions)… But it’s in times like these as well, where we begin to ask God for peace and for divine intervention. After that, patience and trust is pretty much all up to us isn’t it?

Oh! Talking about trust, you know, something rather absurd happened just recently… Well, I’m pretty sure that you do know about that swine flu “pandemic” don’t you?  And I’m certain that you are aware that my graduation ceremony is going to be held this coming Monday as well, right? Anyway, two days ago, I received news that the ceremony would be postponed until further notice. I shan’t get into the reasons behind that major decision – I believe that it’s partially sensible and partially stupid, though I figure that you have already found the link between sick, cute pigs and the why they’ve decided to do away with such events for the time being. Well, it was a series of unfortunate events, really. We had plans to go down from the weekend, we had hotel rooms booked, et cetera… Nonetheless, in the past 12 hours or so, it has all been overturned. Thank goodness that the organizers have finally come to their senses!

Okay. I really should stop here. It’s been a long one and I bet you have more interesting things to do. I’ll write again soon alright! Take care and love much! (:
