Hey y'all... it's good to be back! There are so many things to tell, yet I'm so demotivated to blog..sorry peeps.. this past few months, I abandoned my blog, stacked a bunch of good stories aside.. haven't been blog hopping either. Some folks asked for updates, as in what has been going on in my life. I heard some folks gave birth, got married etc.. so congrats to all those people... As for me, too many things happened, things that I expected and enjoyed, and also the unexpected..

Now it's the end of a year. Big deal, some people say. I beg to differ. I guess 2009 is an interesting year. A fresh start for me, stepping into the other side of the world. I stumbled all along, dealt with so many ups and downs. Some even made me think -- was it worth? The word sacrifice - seems to have a big impact in my life. Whatever it is... what I have been dealing with all these years... couldn't be possible without the support from my family.. and most of all, from The Almighty.

Last year, at the very same day...
- Busy packing all sorts of stuff, as we were scheduled to come over on the 2nd of January.
- Hubby was busy transporting our stuff back to his hometown.

This year, at the very same day..
- I feel demotivated, and in this gloomy weather... kinda lonely... as I missed Hubby that flew back yesterday to Malaysia.. why? More on the next entry.
- I am swamp with research work -- the semester break is for the undergrad kids. Definitely not for us in the grad school. Until we graduated, there is no "break". Duh.

Fall semester was over a week ago. The exam grades were out. Some people left to their hometown. The campus is dead, literally. The weather was gloomy. Not so much snow this past few days, but there is a snow storm warning across Iowa. Aahh... what a boring month. I finished watching Desperate Housewives season 5 (all of the episodes) and also the current ones, as I have no time to spare throughout the entire academic year for watching those. So now, what? Read some articles (ha! very funny)? Hmm... watch TV? not in the mood... and someone pointed out I should update my blog. Go figure.

Enuff for this entry. Off to the next entry. I guess I'll blog on the days when my parents came over, the trips we took, etc... maybe post on some pics or two. Or many some other good stuff to write about..we'll see.
