Heh.
I seem to keep breaking promises that I make to myself. I vaguely remember declaring here a while back that I will update this blog more often and once again, I have sort of fallen out of the grid again.
First, Hikayat Merong Mahawangsa (HMM) happened. It was my first involvement in a theatre production and though the stress of being in the production team runs high especially in the last 1.5 months leading up to the premiere of the show, it was a great first experience which I do not think I will ever exchange for something else. I will blog on the experience of HMM in the new future.
Secondly, I started a new job. Yep, left the boutique production house (that is the preferred way that my ex-boss would refer to the company) and joined a relatively small advertising agency. It is a rather small team here but so far, the experience has been good. The boss is kind and patient, constantly taking the time to explain and teach me things since advertising is a new industry for me. The rest of my colleagues are friendly and do not show irritation even when I ask stupid questions about work. It has been a good 1 month of experience here and I hope that there is many more to come. 
Other than HMM and work, life has been rather…quiet in some sense and tumultuos in another. A few things cropped up back in May and it has left me feeling very lonely. These are things that I am not ready to share and tell any of my friends yet and it is tough, holding all the emotions back and putting on a brave front. I know there will be friends who would prefer that I let it out but while I am still working hard on trying to improve the situation, I want to keep things to myself for the time being.
A recent trip to Central Market with a close friend of mine had me coming home feeling reflective about life. We visited a woman who does Ba Tzi reading and her revelations were spot on that it left me stunned and speechless for a while! Now, for those who knows me long enough, they will know that I have never been a believer in fortune telling or necromancy. I have always tutted at such things because I believe that the future can be foretold, then we would all live our lives to expect the expected. For some strange idea, I did not feel the way I usually did at this Ba Tzi reading.
Based on calculations done on my birthday and birth time, she was able to inform me of my past and present accurately. She did not even look at my palm or did any of those hocus-pocus routines! It was somewhat eerie but a lot of the things she said to me were also more on advices to make me be a better person. However, what stunned me the most was her rough estimate on the timeline of events that had happened in my life and the things that may happen soon, things that I am mentally preparing myself for before I even had her do my Ba Tzi reading. I would be lying if I say that the things she said did not spook me at all and did not contribute to my reflective mode these days. She did spook me and she did made me more reflective on a lot of things in my life these days.
I just hope that things will turn out differently in my personal life from what I have been preparing myself for, that it will be better and I will be happier. On the slight chance that things do turn bad, I pray that I have the strength to stay strong and move on.
