what a pity

My new colleague from the Philippines invited me to go Manila for her wedding on 11 Nov 2011!

This wedding in the Philippines will be her 2nd wedding ceremony. Her first was held in Singapore, but her husband wants to hold another traditional one in the Philippines on the very special date 11/11/11 just for her. So sweet :)

I was really surprised about her invitation as she has just joined the company for only 3 weeks. She mentioned that if she could, she would invite everyone but alas she couldn't :(

Even more surprising is that she asked me to be her god-mother! I was shocked when I first heard her say it, but after further clarification, I found out that in the Philippines, the god-mother is like a bridesmaid, just that it is a level higher than a bridesmaid. Wonder why they call it god-mother... hmmm

I was really stoked when I receive her invitation and really excited about the idea of attending a foreign wedding.

 Was contemplating really hard and I almost agreed to it... BUT... It suddenly dawn on me that I have my dragonboat training. Aiya... and the date is sooo close to regatta! Luckily I remembered on time else it wouldn't be nice if I agreed to attend and backed out again at the last minute.

Also I would want to be with my team mates supporting them for the biggest DB event in Singapore.

Hopefully I will have another chance in future to attend an overseas wedding :)

Oh my gosh... I realised I have been doing quite a fair bit of travelling this year alone. My aim was always to travel out of Singapore at least 3 times a year, and this year alone, I'm doing 2 years worth of travelling! I have been to Koh Samui, Koh Tao, Koh Pah Ngan as part of my Contiki trip, KL for company retreat, Taiwan for DB race and Sydney for work. All just in the first 7 months of this year... Upcoming trips I have planned are to Shanghai and Putra Jaya for DB races.. So all in, I'll be travelling a total of 6 times just this year alone. Think that means next year I can skip all my travels le... As if! =D All this travelling is tiring me out... Hahaha... Couldn't believe I will be saying this at all because travelling is one of my love... Heh. But then again, I will never say no to travelling lah... because it's always exciting exploring new places outside of Singapore :) I realise that when I'm overseas, I'm not that into all the touristy stuff...

Musings of the day

This morning I was going through my insta stories and saw Tony Gaskins (I love this guy) ask me a question session. It was so informative, and an eye opener to see so many people airing their relationship issues. It put a lot of things into perspective, especially seeing things from a 3rd party POV. Seeing what sort of advice all of them are seeking, the answer is already very glaring, but they are blinded by it and chose to ignore it. The same happened for me. The answer was glaring when I expressed my feelings a few months back, but I chose to hold on. Well, no more. When I finally opened my eyes and see things as what it is, I felt, free. Free from my own demons, own insecurities. And I felt ready to move on and focus on something else. What I have learnt is that true love never leaves you doubts and sadness. I have to learn to think for myself. On that note, I have decided to take a break from my DB team. Reason is very simple. It is a toxic relationship, one that limits my grow...
