waiting....and be strong

It wasn't a fun weekend. I had to work yesterday for an event and then attended L's wedding dinner. He looked really happy. Sang a song for his bride and his speech inspired me a little in looking and waiting for love. Seeing everyone around getting married, I can't help but think maybe I wasn't destined to spend my life with anyone. Cught up a little with old friends from my first company that I worked at after graduating from poly. Stev seemed to have aged a bit, spotted white hair at the sides of his head. Chatted a bit and he seemed to be doing ok. I remembered when he employed me for my first job, he gave me an impression that he does not like me at all. Always a frustrated or unfriendly manner whenever he communicated to me at work. After telling a friend that I intended to resign about 6 months into the job, his attitude towards me changed for the better. Guessed my friend told him despite telling her to keep it a secret. Well, its all in the past. Friendship can develop in a different way as the years go by. A bad start might end up good.

Cher is back and she came on friday's practice to see us. I was so glad to see her and updated her with a few of my recent happenings. This weekend was also band camp but I didn't stay over. I can't anyway since I had to work yesterday. Band camps always bring back nostalgic memories of my student days in uni.

My company introduced new initiatives to cut down on cost this year as we face the worst recession in years. No pay cut technically but it still causes a cut in our salary and thus a lesser take-home pay amount. I think its better than being jobless. I just need to cut back on spending and save more. Especially for my trip in July.

Difficult times ahead. Got to be strong.
