V day? what?

have you ever worked so hard till e extend that you forgot how was it like to feel hungry ? 
I have.

this busyness of mine, kept me occupied all the way till 9 tonight.
9 on Valentine Day and 十五. 
it's the first in many years that I miss out on the festivities and prayers. 
No dinner planned, no early dates.
but it's okay!
for the boy baked me this! 
He made it all by himself! 
I'm so proud , happy and satisfied! 
Moments to remind myself that our happiness is genuine and worth fighting for. 

i couldn't have lasted the entire 7 weeks, 
without his support.
I can go through the entire program without texting him e whole day. 
but he kept up w it and I'm thankful ,
very very thankful for that. 

work is really tough,
often I find myself and our team facing criticism but the praises and acknowledgement kept us going.
this is really a steep learning curve.

When I was younger,
and innocent abt what real busyness is like,
Valentine is like a big deal.
we buy flowers for friends,
we buy gifts for lovers,
and go for fancy dinner and elaborate dates!

now that I'm going on 26,
Valentine day is still very special!!!
but I'm too occupied to go and plan how to celebrate it with my family and friends.
I wasn even remotely aware of it being valentine, until I received presents from my colleague! 

I'm just so glad the event is over, 
and looking back I couldn't have done it without the support from my family ( mummy who make sure the maid wake me up at 5 everyday , sis who evacuate e room to let me sleep, dad that make liang teh and cook my favorite food for dinner ) 
my colleagues ( buying me lunch, Kopi, and attending meetings for me)
and definitely the boy,
who with his constraints 
remember e significance of the day and took the effort to bake for me!

I guess,
life is really never smooth,
I just got to have partners that'll walk w me! 💪
