Finally, I heaved a long sigh of relief, and I am at peace.The long search and wait with the unknown future is over. It's been five months since graduation and I have just signed my first Letter of appointment this afternoon with LTA as a Transport Planner. It definitely wasn't easy and I was no doubt really lucky to be taken at last. A glance at my excel sheet labelled - lifelines on my desktop, I have sent out a total of 154 resumes in the past 9 months, only 5 had gotten back, I made it to 3 interviews and failed the other two. There were better times that I spent hours drafting a satisfying cover letter, though only to receive nothing in return, times, there were low days that I questioned my capabilities and qualifications, there were worrisome days as Lnr and I bought and moved into our first home together as I wonder if we could support our increasing expenses, if I will ever be able to land on something to lift off the burden off lnr's shoulder by a bit.

This household happiness did not come all at once, but John and Meg had found the key to it, and each year of married life taught them how to use it, unlocking the treasuries of real home love and mutual helpfulness, which the poorest may possess, and the richest cannot buy. Louisa May Alcott, Little Woman.   Hola blog! Look who just got another year older! And this year, she is feeling really blissed with her constant in life, who appeared fatefully two years back and has been by her side since then, short period indeed, but she is very much looking forward to count her blessing together with him years ahead. I'm positive that her life has become and will continue to be rather family-centric and life is going to be a great adventure for this pair of young lovers. Perhaps some days in life are meant to be rainy, may they learn to cherish each other in the most ordinary ways.  And also, this marks the 10th year that she is jotting down moments of her birthday o...
