my heart is still beating

I'm still very much alive, though I was drowning for the past few weeks in a shitpile of work and deadlines. Imagine, 5 deadlines in 1 single day - I tell you, I've never had it so bad even when I was back in n.u.s.

I'm just glad things are slowly going back to the normal pace, and that I can breathe again.

Next week is the last day of school - yippee! Then I'll have a month plus holiday before my soul is back with n.*.e. and the dreaded practic*m comes around. Note that I have to be subtle with my words, you'll never know who's going to goggle-blog search you and then *pop* your blog appears in the search results.

Anyway, since the last post, admist all the crazy schedule, I've turned... 23.

Ok lah I didn't wake up with any extra wrinkles on my face [not tt I have any, by the way]; just that I think my skin condition has deteriorated with all the stress at work. So I've decided to combat that by starting to go for facials; and hopefully it'll become a regular routine. Imagine, people used to compliment me on my good skin tone/condition; and now, looking at my face... *sobs*

The boyfriend suggested a 23rd birthday party and we had a bbq at west coast park. It was fun [considering I didn't have to barbeque at all. hah!] and nice to see people turn up. Except for the jc clique - none of them turned up. I wasn't as upset as I thought I would be, since I think we have definitely drifted apart and somehow, I wonder if we're still friends save for the "hi, bye" syndrome. Oh well, it is inevitable, in my opinion.

The boyfriend and I are turning 1 soon - how time flies. And though I don't say it enough to his face, I really treasure all that he has done; all the love he has showered upon me; all the times he has tolerated my tantrums and nonsense, and I really appreciate having him in my life.

He'll be flying off to Brunei in a week and leaving me for a month. I'm getting resigned to it since there's no other way I can feel about it - but absence will make the heart fonder [but makes the heart lonely too] and when he's back it'll be time for our Taipei trip! Hee
