Too much has happened since I last got a chance to write and even now, the thought of writing belated posts just seems like more work than its worth. But I shall try nonetheless:

1. The Boyfriend and I celebrated our 6th Monthsary, making it officially the longest decent relationship I've ever had. The celebration was quiet and a nice respite from the fighting, although it certainly didn't last long. We got close to breaking up soon after but as things have stabilised, our relationship has regained its solidity.

2. The Muppet showed up, stirred up shit, messed up my life once again and then left so that I could clean up. Only two good things came from his visit:

(a)I will never put up with his bullshit ever again. I learnt that a leopard never changes his spots and a scumbag will always be a scumbag.

(b)My parents know about the Boyfriend... this is both good and bad I suppose. On one hand, its great that its out in the open, not that it was a secret but I do admit I had been stalling to find the ideal time to tell them. On the other hand though, it has sparked up a lot of crap from my mother about life, love, marriage and the issue of my virtues, of which she thinks I have none.

3. Teowlet and her fiance came to visit and that was an absolute blast :D I hadn't seen her since graduating two years ago and it was lovely to catch up with her again.

4. Teowlet asked me to be her Maid of Honour at her impending wedding! I was most touched and honoured and vowed to get a hold of that DVD (as featured in Made of Honour) with the perky blonde who gives us the low-down on how to be the best MOH ever.

5. I officially became a lawyer. After 5 years of intensive studying and training, it all culminated to that final moment on 24 May 2008 where the dude read out my name, announcing that I was being officially called to the Bar.

6. My parents met The Boyfriend as my boyfriend for the first time. Safe to say that was highly awkward.

7. I'm back at the Firm, working as a full fledged lawyer now. I have a nice office and my paycheck just got bigger. But then, so has the workload :S

Other than that, there has been a lot of arguing, fighting, crying and the occasional laughing at the absurdity of it all in this past month. I'm hoping this chapter will end soon enough. Things have stabilised on most fronts, save for my mother and her rampant hysteria at discovering that her dear daughter is dating a Christian boy as well as her fervent, and dare I say rather aggravating, attempts at setting me up with someone, anyone, else. Wish me luck World, I fear I'm going to need it.
