I hate going for job interviews. I couldn’t sleep last night, all I could think about was preparing my answers to their questions. I hate it! It feels like I’m back in school and studying for an exam or something. Yuck. I wish it could all be over right now. But no such luck, I’ve still got to prepare a little bit more before the interview takes place later this afternoon. I think this is the most nervous I’ve ever been about a job interview. Normally, I’m alright with it. Perhaps this time, I really want the job. This time its not just another pay check, this time its a career opportunity.
I can’t wait until its over. I hope I get the job.

Recently, I’ve realised that I’m starting to live life at a slower pace. Perhaps it has something to do with my husband’s presence. Or, perhaps its one of the side effects of married life. Who knows? But, nonetheless, it’s great. I’m learning to cherish each moment. Where once I was weighed down by burdens and stress, now I feel as light as whipped cream. I can hear my own thoughts clearly now and taking life one day at a time.
In this time of great economic uncertainty, I’m feeling quite content. I don’t feel the constant pressure of daily life. I don’t know what it is, but I just feel so…calm. It’s like I’m finally at peace with myself.
I’m aware that I’m changing. I’m finding that I love things that I once used to hate. I’ve stopped to smell the roses, I can actually hear birds chirping in the tree in my backyard. I can spend the whole day in the garden, where once I wouldn’t have a clue what to do in the garden. I don’t know what it is…but I like it. It’s a refreshing change.

It’s been almost a month since my husband joined me here in Australia. What a month its been! I’m still only just getting used to having him around me full time. Life is certainly different now. Sometimes I feel like pinching myself to see if its all just a dream. Who would have thought that 3 and a half years of a long distance relationship would finally see the two of us married and living together. It’s truly a wonderful feeling.
Life is finally beginning…

Last night my husband gave me the best news I’ve ever heard – he’ll be here in two weeks!!
Finally, our long distance relationship will finally come to an end. Together, we can finally start our new life! We’ve been waiting for this day for over 3 years now. I can’t express the emotions I’m feeling. It’s like I’m floating. I feel like a heavy weight has been lifted off my shoulders.
I wish I could just sleep through the next two weeks and wake up the day he lands here. I’ve been waiting for so long, I don’t think I could stand to wait 2 more weeks. There are so many things to do and get ready before he arrives. I wish the time would pass quickly so that I can finally see him!
To those people out there in the world who are in long distance relationships, I am proof that they do work! I’ve been in a LDR for over 3 years now and we are finally reaching our goal of being together. It’s not impossible, but its very difficult. Only if you and your partner are fully committed can you succeed, that’s from my own personal experience. There will be days when you just want to give up and you think “why bother?what’s the point?” But you shouldn’t let that deter you. There will be a day when you realise that its all worth it. That day is finally here for me!

Lately, I’ve been bombarded with all sorts of emotions. Maybe it has to do with the anxiety of waiting for my husband…or it could be stress from work…or maybe its just PMS. Perhaps its a combination of everything. Whatever it is, it seems like one minute my mood’s up, and then it’s down, and then it’s up again. I just want some peace and quiet. I long for that place where everything is just…right.
Wouldn’t that be a nice change?
