Life in the Tai Tai lane

Today marks the end of my second week in Taitaidom. This seemingly glamourous life is giving me cold turkey. Maybe I didn't read in the instruction manual properly before embarking...Better go back and study it again.

Honestly, I am wondering if I am truly coping with reality. Perhaps I still getting this idea that I am just having a longer than usual vacation. Thankfully, I have great friends who remind me occasionally (though it does pain me severely) that I really don't have all the time in the world to get my air ticket and insurance done. A great thank you coz I do need that painful reminder to get out of my escapist state.

So how am I doing? I can only say I am learning to cope.... I knew it would be hard for me since I have not stopped working since after A levels, working through University whenever I can find time to squeeze working in the equation. But I didn't think it would hit me this hard. I guess I am just thankful that I didn't stop work on other reasons like health...

I know this is the time for me to do something for myself and I guess as with everything, there is always the first time. So this will be my first time, doing something for myself.

Believe it or not, I am already freaking out... But then again, I always freak out at new things, like learning to drive. Nope I am not anywhere near getting the license yet, still at lessons and always freaking out minutes before every one and tomorrow it will be one everyday, a lot of freaking out to do. That should keep me busy.
