Feeling out of touch with my blog

Haven't been blogging for months.. Last blog was april.. whoa.. time flies. went Vivocity a couple of weekends back where they were holding Hair for Hope 2011. Saw quite a number of ex colleagues, and to tell the truth, it felt good being there and not feeling any stress. Though part of me did miss the excitement and adrenaline rush you feel when you know the event is a success and largely due to efforts put in by you. Though in my right mind I will never want to go thru it again. I almost died doing it, and I'm only half kidding when I say that..

This job is much better, update from last post is that cat finally got her confirmation. hehe..
But once in awhile, poor cat meets irritatingly annoying clients and still have to be damn nice to them..
Oh well, poor michele who sits beside me in office have to constantly hear me cursing and swearing when i put down the phone.. It's great having a good friend working with you in this case. U know each other's idiosyncrasies and better able to tolerate or even join in the bitching.. Can't imagine what life in office will be like without her.

And she is really much better than me in handling difficult clients. Salute. Although there are clients who really gets on her nerves as well.. She acc me to meet a diff client, and she's so much better at handling him. Thank god for her presence.. lol..

Life is rather smooth sailing now, albeit a little hiccups here n there, like F-ed up clients, minor arguments with the bf, and the usual rising costs and stagnant pay..

All in all, Cat is pretty happy, therefore nothing much to grouch about life, thus the sparse blogging.. lol..

And Cat is expecting a little nephew or niece in a few months' time.. :D Yea!! Good job bro!

RIP Grandpa

my maternal grandpa passed away on 19 Jan 2011. His funeral was on 25 Jan 2011. Looking back at my old posts, I realised my cousin's funeral was exactly 10 months ago.

My grandpa lived till 94, though he was much weaker towards the end, I'm glad to say that he was generally healthy. I rem when i was around 16, he had a heart attack. We all thought he won't be able to pull through than.. but he did, and though weaker, he was still able to walk around on his own.

7 days, 6 nights of wake, i stayed over for 3 of it. It's really tiring though nothing much was really done by us.. probably the stress n emotional upheaval.. n lack of sleep..

i kinda enjoyed it the first few days, coz just like any other family gathering, we cousins will always sit around and talk.. it was more of a celebration than mourning. and y not? my grandpa had lived a fruitful life indeed. It was a celebration of his life, and with all 4 generations of us together.

it was a good time for cousins to catch up, we got to know each other more, and generally used the time for family bonding as well.

Sadness is still there on the surface, but we are able to talk, laugh and cry together. Conflicts, bound to occur, but quick to come, quick to go.

I hope this great big family of mine will always be close to each other.

Thanks grandpa, for giving me such a wonderful family to love and so many cousins to hang out with.
