Been a while since I blogged. Every time I wanna pen down my thoughts or life, something will happen that will prevent me from sitting down and typing away at leisure.
Time – big factor.
Realised along the course of my daily routine of life here in Singapore, that time seems shorter here compared to when I was living in Melbourne. Why is that so? On careful consideration, I decided that the reason is FAMILY.
Much of my time here in Singapore is spent with my folks at home. Relatives. Not that I hate it. On the contrary, I love moments of hanging out with my mum and aunts. Loved shopping sprees with my sis and cousins. Priceless. These are moments I’ve missed during my years in Melbourne, and I relished every moment of it.
Time with my folks meant time away from friends. With every decision comes sacrifice. This is something I learnt dearly. While I enjoyed being with my folks, I missed bumming with my friends. Missed the bonding sessions I had with my girlfriends, the heart-to-heart talks with my guy pals. Really missed it. Really, really missed it…
Do I regret my decision? No, I do not. Yet somehow, within the depths of my heart, I find time to be passing by too quickly. Too fast for me to get a grip on it. I would have loved to lengthen my studying years, drag the process of transforming from a teen-ager to a 20-odd year old adult. Even before I am aware of it, I am already a working adult. Till now, I still find it hard to accept the fact that I am no longer a little girl hiding under my mum’s wings. I am a grown lady.
T.I.M.E – One Precious Commodity.
Often said, but seldom realised.
