Busy Bee...or sluggish snail ?

Hey all,
I guess you do wonder where and what have I been up to, haven't you? Well been busy with my semi-professional, academic and private life. Or busy trying to escape doing work :P OK, just kidding on that. Been doing a bit of soul searching, trying to figure what should I do with my life and which direction I should take. Frankly speaking, I am torn between many things. However, things are slowly working out. In the meanwhile, I have been writing,writing and writing. Besides that, I have also been reading, reading and reading. Supposed to be working on a sundry of personal and professional projects. Things are going well, albeit slowly. That can be very frustrating, definitely. Have to plan out the proposal for my soon to begin MA dissertation (arrgh....). Ok, that wasn't so bad. I already have a few topics in mind that I just need to zero in and do some literature review on. Oh, did I mention that I had put myself out in the job market? That had been a really frustrating endeavour, with interviews after interviews. Will let you guys know how I fare later on. Never thought that an "early career change" could be so hard. Most employers don't understand the esoteric stuff that you've learnt from the cloistered ivory towers. Good finances is a must if you want to get into anything. Learnt that the hard way. Anyway, will write more in a not too distant date, when the re-building of this site has been completed. I have to thank Jonathan Poh for his dedication in making sure that everything is just right. (: Cool to have friends like this.
