Oodles of things to do.
- Help my dad do some work.
- Sort out car issues (my brother got into a car accident. No one was injured, but the cars were damaged and the other party called the cops. Drats, now just have to wait for them to get back to us on who’s fault this is… I am so anti-waiting, I am – but no choice.).
- Actual work – preparing 3 sets of training notes and PowerPoint slides (one for metro participants, two for country participants).
- Knit a doll for my friend – Oh, no! Why can’t I get the clothes right?!
- Iron my clothes (mountain of fabric jeering me).
- Eat dinner (6.30 pm already?!).
Hey, can’t complain. Better to have work to do, then to complain about being idle. I do enjoy my work anyway.
I work with various health consumer representatives to train and support them in being effective advocates. There are various levels of advocacy, and many of the consumer representatives I train up are largely involved with systemic advocacy. Systemic Advocacy means effecting change in the health system in Australia, and inputting the consumers’ voice into that decision. Too often we see one consumer crying for redress in some aspect of the health system, and if we look broadly enough, we might actually notice more undergoing the same problem too.
It is a rewarding job, and even though it’s been less than 2 months since I started working – I immensely enjoy it. I love my boss, my colleagues, my office, my day, my life and everything in between.
Waking up is something I yearn to do, and it saddens me to leave my office as I take each step away from the place. That’s how much I love what I do. Believe me, I have worked many places in the past, all of which are horror, oh-the-horror stories. This is the only place that has made me find purpose in my life, and driven my desire to do better for my future.
Love, love, LOVE my life.
My family is awesome too. So are my friends. What drizzles the choc sauce all over this chocolate ice cream that is my life, and makes it all so perfectly sweet is my man.
He’s 28 this year. A personal trainer (reowr). Makes me shiver inside when he speaks sweet nothings to me or sings, ZING! That just blows my mind! His kisses take me to that special place many people die to know. After 10 years, I am still madly in love with him. I want to be grey with him, wake up to him everyday and kiss him with morning breath, have his children and build a home with him. (Preferably in the reverse order – just more convenient that way.)
He’s in Singapore, working very hard as most Singaporeans do, but he attests to working hard to finding his future with me, and I believe him. Every. Single. Word.
Truth be told, it never always was that way. We’ve had serious fights, separations… It’s hard maintaining long-distance relationships. But that’s life – you believe and then move on. I sometimes stumble into the dangerous trap of the past, but I am learning to live, and learn, and progress into tomorrow.
Today, I love him, believe in him, and if he told me he wanted me today – I’m his. Even though we are very much the children who fell in love with one another years ago, we’ve grown so much. I see a very sexy man in him, and hopefully he sees this voluptous babe who drives him wild not only with her hour-glass figure, but her mental charms too. *smiles*
I can’t complain. I have had my down and out moments, but life is too short for focusing on negatives. I choose to be angry that moment, and then move on to better and happier things. I want to be able to show off my wrinkles – medals of my smiles expressed. I want to laugh like an idiot – beats sulking like a tool. I want to be “that crazy, yet oh-so-delightful person”, not “ooo red alert, psycho on the loose!”.
Hah! I don’t even know if this blog had a point. Well, I shall end with a quote before stopping myself from subconsciously procrastinating (ha, ha… I’m onto you, me!).
Success is not final, failure is not fatal – it is the courage to continue that counts – winston churchill
