November

My garden rose
What once was rended, now aligned

To swiftly flourish as blooms mature


This is pathetic.
It has been so long since I last Update(10months since) and here I am back again to post. I finally settle down into a comfortable rhythm in my life and can finally sit down to pin my thoughts here again.
I am blessed with a new husband and his family addition in my life.
Life in this place in time is good to me and what more can I ask for than to pen it down here to remind me again when I need a good kick and reminder.
Its the time of the year to start reflecting if I have been a good little girl. Lets see what I have done this year

1) Got legally married in Febuary
2) Quite my job in June
3) Found a new job in July
4) Threw a traditional chinese dinner in September
5) Officially become AC's Wife both legally and traditionally, in name and in presence.
Now this is where it gets more interesting
6) Started a garden in his house, so exciting, growing more fragrant plants and exotic looking vegetable and fruits.
7) Help out my sister with her charity birthday party
8) Looking into natural aromatheraphy and natural perfumery.
9) Tincturing all kind of spices and homegrown flora.
10) Learning and experimenting with essential oils, homemade absolute, candles, serum and the likes.
Plans for next year
Holidaying in Burma, Thailand, Turkey and Oman(hopefully)
Tons of Fragrant Projects for the upcoming year
Signing up for courses of natural perfumery offline
Designing desserts and drinks to use with some of my organic essential oils.
I have so many projects lining up next year I can't wait.

Little Musing on a Lazy Afternoon.

(The Unexpected)

Its been four months since I last update this site. Was busy preparing for the next phase of my life. My Solemnization Day.

I always wonder if I will ever be married off, being a tomboy and a sloppy dreamer. Life as it is has been wonderful to me. I meet a man who wants me as his partner for life. I think this is a very big commitment and it didn't really hit me till I was reading a mock vow with the appointed solemnizer. As I was reading I could feel the tears in my eyes ready to fall and it was only a mock up. What would happen on that actual day when we are ready to sign and legalize ourselves to each other?

Of course its not all romance and sweet nothing, we have our fair shares of ups and downs. How does one know if we are marrying "The One"? Or if there was ever such a person called "The One". I think I had my "The One" but he is not the man I am marrying. The man I am marrying is "The Unexpected". Life is so full of little surprises. And seriously I would rather have the unexpected than oh so boring "The One".
