Brings back a lot of different feelings blogging again. Time changes everything ... well, almost everything.
Since i came back from UK, I have been very blessed with many opportunities. Career wise and also even finding a special someone.
I was a litigation lawyer, media and entertainment lawyer and also an in-house lawyer in a reputable multinational oil and gas company.
I have gained so much experience through this rollercoaster period ... through all the ups and downs in life. Met those that brought me down and made me small, and yet also had the opportunity to meet those who were big hearted and kind, that lifted me up and gave me confidence in myself- who believed in me that I could achieve my fullest potential and spurred me on. I even surprised myself with the courage I had to quit jobs that were paying so well, and had great future prospects in.
During the last 4 years, I feel as though there were more downs than ups but yet it is so very true that there is always a silver lining ... a rainbow at the end of it all.
It sure wasn't easy. The Ann i know before 4 years ago, was surely a different one typing here today.
Sometimes I think back, and I wonder how did I end up where I am today. How? Do you sometimes have that same question? I think it's all the little and small steps that we take and often dismiss its importance.
Every single day, I am thankful for all that I have. I find being grateful and hopeful is the antidote to feeling of sadness or feelings that we do not have enough or do not have it all together.
Not sure why but visiting this blog just brings back memories ... and it makes me a little sad.

Life
Life after university is so different. It has been 2 years, and counting.
I've never worked harder before - and I thought Bar school was challenging ... what was I thinking? lol.
I thank God for the many opportunities for me to build my character. After peeling away a few layers, I realised I'm so weak. It is easy to be happy & positive when everything is going well. When I look back at the past pictures, the Ann then and now is so different. I was just so ... Happy? lol. Grateful? Hopeful? Pretty??? LOL perasan much ya. Now I just feel like hiding away from the world because my skin is so bad. I have acne on my face and I feel like crying everyday. My skin condition is so bad that I have already consulted 1 general doctor and 2 dermatologists. I still remember crying almost everyday for 1 month. I think I was depressed, but you know, no one really feel your pain except yourself.
I feel so sorry for my bf & mother who had to see me go through this. It's not easy especially when you know you have to be strong. I am an adult, I have a job and I have to go to work.
Everyday I look at the SK2 advert and I tell myself - my face is going to be as nice as this model.
Everyday after office I walked through Robinsons and there is this row of mirrors at Shu Uemora. I look at it and I see my face in the mirrors, and my heart bleeds.
Anyway I know, with time, things will get better. And I will be happy again. :)
God has good plans for us.
