So its been about 10 months since my last post. In that time, quite a few things have changed though I still feel like the same person.

1. I got married to NG. Twice. After months of madness, its finally all over and we've nicely settled into being Mr. & Mrs. (though saying the word "Husband" still sounds strange to my own ears). We had two 'big days', the first in November 2009 and then again in February 2010 and by then, we had made everyone else happy. The parents got what they wanted: a show for their respective friends.

2. I left the corporate world, determined never to come back...only to crawl back 6 months later, cash strapped and desperate. But lucky for me, I managed to find an awesome job with a great boss and I'm actually happy where I am. I realised that not everyone is cut out for a big law firm and sometimes, to find that right balance between working and living (yes, it does exist!) you've gotta give on somethings. I may not be earning as much as I was before, but if you look at what I earn now divided by the number of hours I have to work, I think I'm doing much better than I was before. My office is too small for office politics and I get on great with my colleagues and even my boss.

3. I started my own business and its still running, albeit on a smaller scale. I still love wedding planning and I have a few clients lined up here and there. Its great to have something outside of law that keeps me busy.

4. I got pregnant. Haha. This one I'm still getting used to! I found out a couple of weeks ago that NG and I are expecting. This is partially also what has led to a revival of this blog. I thought it might be nice to document this new chapter of my life and who knows, maybe someday Little G will be able to read it too.
