Revival

Time flies. February is nearly gone. 2010, the fastest year on record.

Eight weeks.

Two perfect weddings in two corners of the continent. Official photographs yet to be released.

A perfect honeymoon. Island paradise. The Maldives. Let's figure out how to prevent that miracle from being wiped off the face of the planet. Amazing diving. Certifications for both of us. Repeat. Paradise.

A good bonus in a bad year. Truckloads of work. Difficult. Interesting. Challenging.

Time with the wife. Splendid potage parmentier. Sachin Tendulkar's 200*. Good books. Great movies. A run here and a run there.

Some signs of hope, on the relocation front. Fingers crossed. I hope things work out. For her, and for us.

Sudden end to Hillview Green saga. I can't believe we've stayed there for 33 months, in all combinations. That makes it 55 months since my return to Singapore. Well, I am in the Philippines right now, so that is just a technical return.

Could be homeless in 18 days. Unlikely, right?

A future full of hope. And uncertainty. I am really bad with uncertainty. It takes over my nerves, flows through my blood, and leaves me with no escape from myself. I need to master dealing with uncertainty.

So I can leave a bit of myself for the real things in life. For the book, the photographs, the languages, the outdoors. And, for her.
