Chapter 305: Cleanse

It's been almost 6 months since it happened.
Yes. We broke up. Not every perfect relationship in people's eyes will end up in the best way.

I wanted to blog about it but wanted to settle my emotions first before making any rash decisions such as lashing out on anyone innocent or writing out any temporary words which might cause a permanent scar.

How do I start? I think the most frequently asked question would be: "Are you okay?" After almost half a year, I can confidently say that I'm really fine now. I feel lighter now. The emotional burden compared to back then is almost lifted away completely already.

It was something I didn't expect to happen, but it did. I guess I wish I'd be more ready to accept it, then maybe I wouldn't be in such a mental turmoil. I went through a range of emotions; I was depressed, angry and disappointed. I limited myself into this dark abyss clouded by only negativity. Long story short, I almost lost myself. I wasn't happy; every smile or laugh was forced out everyday.

I want to thank the people who stood by me throughout the dark days I went through. I'm glad I wasn't alone in facing this. I actually kind of pity them haha because I was practically emotional 24 hours a day for at least 2 to 3 months. I couldn't bring to pull myself up, but in that period my eyes were open to so many things and I realized and saw situations a lot differently.

Then, my friends' harsh words (I don't blame them) hit me, only then I started to wake up, I picked myself up, got busy with events etc. But even then I couldn't really stop myself from thinking too much. I tried my best to concentrate in class but even that was a chore.

I didn't stop trying. I played tennis more and it was the main motivation for me to carry on with my life. My mind is blank when I play and it was an escape for me. It was that moment which I finally found myself again.

Of course, the people around me were crazy supportive of me and I am really thankful for that.

In this period I realized that not everything will go our way, and no matter how much we try so hard to appreciate or retain something, it may or may not disappear eventually. But that isn't going to stop me from believing; it's just that I will have to accept the different outcomes that may occur, whether I like it or not.

To be honest, I'm still very afraid of the future. But hey, I believe the future holds wonders and I am still very hopeful about life. Don't worry, I'm feeling a lot more positive now hehe.

The reason I'm writing this is because I want to remember it. Yes, it's a sad event but I want this to be a reminder for myself.

My eyes and heart are cleansed now. If you ask me, I wouldn't go back there again. Not anymore.

Chapter 290: Being a CAT-ACCA student

Hello. I just wanna get this off my chest for a bit. DISCLAIMER: This is merely my own understanding of the whole programme. Please don't flame me for wrong information lol. WHAT ARE CAT AND ACCA?  CAT stands for Certified Accounting Technician. Yeah, people laugh at the term "technician" but in layman terms it is just another name for Foundation in Accountancy. No idea why they used CAT though; probably because they don't want people to mess it up with Foundation in Arts? Anyways, one thing I dislike is when people ask me what I'm currently doing. When I say CAT, EVERYONE doesn't get it. So I just say "Oh I'm doing accounting." which sounds pretty weak but then it's easier than explaining the whole shit a gazillion times to different people and yet they STILL don't get it. :( ACCA stands for Association of Chartered Certified Accountants. Alright, so here's the thing. ACCA is a professional body (sort of like a club, really.

Chapter 319: Reflections

It's 12:44am and I have a lot on my mind. I feel like I haven't been able to give my 100% since the beginning of the year. I'm not entirely sure why but I guess it was because it was fast approaching one of my goals in the firm which was to get promoted to Senior Associate and subsequently tendering afterwards. The plan in my head was solid - I start applying in June, just slightly 2 weeks before the official promotion announcement, I get a call from HR after a week or so, an official interview by the managers after 2 days, and in July I was good to go. Plans always deviate, don't they? In June I find myself still in the midst of peak; whoever said that June was the start of off peak is a liar. However I also found myself avoiding to update my resume; I think a part of me still wanted to stay. I believe it was the comfort zone calling - I have good bosses, my portfolio was okay (I am taking over a job meant for an Assistant Manager), I am familiar with everything that

Chapter 320: I've not been well recently

 Not sure how to begin this post. My heart is beating really fast right now and I need to vent my feelings somewhere. I haven't been in a good mental state for a while now. I am suffering. I have been trying my best to see the good in everything and it has been exhausting. I guess I'd been dismissing my negative feelings because I feel like I should be grateful and appreciative for everything I have right now - which I am, don't get me wrong.  I'm having a difficult time relaxing properly recently. Even when I'm just chilling and watching Netflix, a sense of uneasiness just comes creeping on me; and it stays with me. I can't find anything that makes me happy anymore. I just feel so restless and on most days I feel like I've lost my sense of identity.  All the things that once make me happy have lost their ability to do so. I feel like a lifeless robot each day, just surviving and not living. Achievements aren't able to make me feel anything too. In fact
