The Month of October

I can't believe it. October is already at its end. I think I've only slept in my own bed twice this month. I was overseas for a good 10 days, return home to pack unpack and took a bus back to KL to attend Eric and Jennifer's wedding, back to Singapore, pack unpack and now I'm halfway through my 'unintended' journey in L.A. and will by the time I'm back in Singapore, it'll be two days past November...already...

Its been quite tough.

Adjusting to Nic's new shift was tough. Having a super roster is tough. Earning big bucks will always make you lose the more important things. Like having time to spend with a loved one, yet alone loved one-S.

The only consolation I've had this time around is watching Lipstick Jungle. I can't believe I'm hooked on it like how I am with my chinese dramas. But the title is pretty tacky. I'm sure they could've come up with something fancier or more relevant to the gist of the story. Hmmm...

I can't wait to get home. Its been cold and lonely being out here alone. I've had enough of living out of a suitcase.

Talent - time

Last month or so, when I was back in KL, my sister and I was watching TV. There were some beauty pageants singing, dancing, acting, drawing, giving their all, trying to impress a panel of judges with their so called 'talent'. My sister casually asked me,

"Does everyone have a talent?"

I didn't quite gave it a moment of thought and answered almost immediately,

"Yes, I believe everyone is talented in some way."

Then she turned and looked at me, this time a little bit more serious,

"Do you know what is YOUR talent?"

I was dumbfounded for a while...

"Well, I suppose...." Then I drifted into my own thoughts trying to pry the insides of my brain for any talent cells...or none at all.

She proceeded to break my silence and asked,

"What about me? Do you think I have a talent? Do you know what MY talent is?"

She sounded hopeful, wishing I had a certain answer to confirm this very important question of hers.

I don't think I did have an answer for her at the end. Ever since we had that conversation, we're still trying to figure out our talents. Its probably easier to identify a talent when its as obvious as drawing, dancing, singing, cooking, sewing or something along those lines. But what if you are Jack / Jill of all trades and a master of none? Does that mean you have no talent? What defines talent?

So, while I'm still trying to figure out mine, do you know YOURS yet?

Tell me about it...

Conversations with 'Superman'~

Nic happened to be wearing this T-shirt today (a gift from his mommy for this year's birthday). We were waiting for the MRT and I just had to ask him some questions.

Me : Hi Superman! Describe your job scope.

Nic : Saving good people from evil. Saving the world.

Me : Define the word world.

Nic : Singapore.

Me : Wow~ Your world is small. How do you travel when you have to save people?

Nic : I take bus or MRT.

Me : HAHAHAH~ What if the MRT or bus breaks down?

Nic : Then I ignore the call.

Me : You are lousy. Then why do you call yourself 'Superman'?

Nic : Cause of my OUTFIT *said a matter of factly with a smug grin*

Me : HAHAHA...what a joker my boyfriend....
