House Keeping & Garden City

Did some house keeping today. Cleared the notes in my room, went through stuff i accumulated for the past two years..... Two years.... How time flew by so fast. In this two years, I made new friends, a number of them for life. I've seen joy, brotherhood, misery, self-loathing, compassion... The things I have experienced in the past two years is something I will never ever forget. Living in a home away from home, having a family of friends who showed me so much care and concern (thank you so much Jing, Jac and Lu), even getting to know a band of brothers in which we stood side by side for many nights fighting terrorists or zombies and the endless horde of assignments and exams =). Boy will I miss Brisbane once I return back to Singapore. Heh... Back home. Its so surreal that now I can see clearly, I'm at another milestone in my journey through life. Soon I will be leaving boyhood and embarking on a path to be an adult, a Husband and hopefully a Father. It can be frightening to see all these unknown paths that are laid before me. Without a sign that says where it goes. But that's life right? Its all an adventure. You will never know where the road takes you until to take a step forward.

I've been thinking about it a lot lately. Most of my conversation with Sally has revolved around our marriage, our future family, kids that I will have and so on. I feel fearful of what is to come, but at the same time excited about it too. I know life will be full of problems. Money most of all, but these are just obstacles. Will we have money to get our dream home? Will we have money to send our kids to school? Haha these questions might seem weird coming from a soon to be 25th year old. Yet if you think about it, isn't it about time you start taking life seriously? Deep down inside, I've accepted these challenges, and will face these obstacles bravely no matter how high the wall is, or how wide the river is. That is because i know all around me, there are people who will help me overcome them.

Went to Garden City today too. Oh how the term reminds me of home. The moment I got there a question came to mind.. "Where's the Garden?" Lol... Apparently the only thing noteworthy is the big mall. Well it was nice, but I was expecting more greenery? Anyway, it was a nice place, lots of shops and good. Had some nice nachos too! Have not had them for a while... Tasted delicious!! I'm sure Sally will go crazy if she was here haha all the shops and all the sales.. Too bad I'm not that into shopping I suppose. Gosh.... still so long till the 27th of July... Haha its getting bored here. Running out of stuff to do too. Still, i tell myself, take a well earned break. Once i return back home, it's work work work. I've been thinking too, will I do well at work? Live up to expectations? I sure hope so!!! Above all else, I do hope that I will be able to contribute to my fellow colleagues.... Only time will tell..
