29 Mar 2007 — Oh man, wow… I can’t believe how many of you wrote in to comfort me after reading my “Moonshine” entry. Geez… thanks guys, I’m really so so touched by all of you. I mean, being “stranded” here on an island isn’t really easy, but knowing I have the love and support of so many people out there sure lightens the load.

I must clarify though that it’s not every day that’s tough. Tiring yes, but tough, no. On the whole, I am doing well, and I still love, love, love my job to death. Of course too my whole mood has lifted with E being away; at least the little spark I have left at the end of the day is not being sapped dry the moment I walk through the door. As Rachael puts it, “she is damn high maintenance siah”. But no, that freak of a week was a bit of an aberration, a rarity more than a norm. I did hesitate ever so slightly before penning it down cause exactly I didn’t want to alarm anyone, least of all, my parents.

But I thought, to be authentic, I should also blog about the sad, frustrating moments, not just the happy perky instances, which admittedly are more typical of my entries. I wanted you to know that in reality, it’s not just fun and games here. As life is, there are of course “trying” times. But not to worry too much, like one of those ti-gam-ti-gam rubber balls, I do usually bounce back quite readily. And on the whole, I know this is just a passing phase, a minor hiccup along the way to fame, fortune and glory. Yah right. And just in case you were wondering… No, I’m definitely not about to throw in the towel again. Nopididoo, this time I’m going to stay put and stick it out — good, bad and the downright hideous. Human politics — it’s a tricky game, but if played well, the rewards could be rather gratifying.
