nicely put

It's about time I came back here; previously everything was a mad rush, making me give this a little miss. These few weeks have been full of pleasant surprises as well as a little disappointment, but I guess these pass over me really quickly, because by then, I realise all of these were somewhat expected. So I can't really call them surprises. Then again, they do surprise me. I'm being so vague I think no one else will know what I'm talking about except me. Yes, that's what vague is. I forget.

Okay shall move on to the more tangible experiences I've gone through. Still need to be vague about it due to certain national obligations, but good enough I guess. Over the period, I've been given many roles to play, and certain responsibilities to fulfil. And over that same period, I guess I've learnt an extraordinary amount about myself, and I thank God for that.

I guess as many people know me, I'm very conservative in many very different ways. I shy away from the new and untested, and stick to the routine, often uncomfortable out of my, well, comfort zone. But what I've gone through over the past seven or so weeks, has given me a new confidence in the abilities that I've been blessed with. Not to say they are anything much, but certainly, they aren't nothing either. Taking the lead in an environment with ultra-dominant personalities of course was not easy, but to me, it felt natural, in the sense of hey-it's-actually-not-so-bad-after-all.

I think morally as well, I've kept my ground pretty well. It undeniably takes a lot for one to remain oneself in that kind of environment, where you are bombarded with many different influences in varying degrees very frequently. I still believe that the narrow path is worth taking, no matter how hard it may be.

Ah okay, still very much vague. But at the very least I know what I'm talking about. (:
