I have been busy. It’s awfully obvious, isn’t it? :)

Truth be told, the second third of the year hasn’t been very smooth-sailing for me. In fact, it has been difficult at work, and I have to put in so much more effort to remain calm and patient at all times, regardless of the kind of shit that I have been dealt with.

The saddest thing is that a lot of the things that have happened to me recently are not bloggable. Gone are those days when I could write everything on my blog, unfortunately. These days, I just suck-it-in, put on a brave face and smile. Which, I think, helped me move forward, rather than allowing me to grief over matters that I have no control over :)

For the record, I was never an aggressive person to begin with. I never fought back when scolded or corrected. Fighting back wasn’t tolerated at home when I was younger, so I guess that was how I learned to be patient with a lot of things and people and matters. My friends would agree that I only participated in “cold wars” in school, not your kind of “bitch fights” where hair-pulling and name-calling were involved. My lecturers and supervisors in university would agree that I was always the “OK, this can be done” and “OK, no problem” kind of person.

So I guess that was why I seemed to be somebody you can dismiss very easily. Because I don’t fight back. That was why I was an easy target of your bad-mouthing. Because I don’t fight back. You can go ahead and tell all your colleagues and students and friends shit about me because I will not fight back. My Mum has taught me not to stoop that low.

And, like they say, “What goes around, comes around.” And I sure hope to still be alive when that day arrives, LOL.
