Waking Up From A Deep Sleep...

It's been a good 6 months and like any self-respecting polar bear, it's time to end my hibernation.

So where did I disappear to for the past half a year? Did I just go into hiding with nary a thing to do? Hardly.

For one, I have been busy working, working, working! For some reason I was flooded with jobs after I came back from Europe last July and so I took on 4 different series for Channel News Asia.

On the workfront, everything was going fine. I even landed an exhibition gig that required me to be in Doha from Jan to Mar. It was a glorious period of time, I was looking forward to earning big bucks and best of all, I was going to be away from Singapore for 3 whole months!

But then I got a visit from an old friend.

I was diagnosed with Myasthenia Gravis, a nerve disorder in Nov 2002. Since then I have gone through an operation, underwent radiotherapy, was put on a garden variety of medication and gained 20kg from said medication. But in the past 5 years, everything was well under control and I was finally going to be off all medication by May this year.

Then in the dying days of 2007, barely a week before I was to leave for Doha, I had a relapse.

That threw everything into disarray. I had to give up the job in Doha and for more than a month, my eyesight was severely affected. But fortunately things are coming together again, I'm back on all my medication and the condition seems to be well under control.

So in celebration of yet another new chapter of my eventful life, I decided to resurrect this blog. Hopefully I will finish detailing my trip to Europe last year but in any case, I'm already looking forward to new travels for this year.

Peace ;p
