Autumn in Shanghai
This past weekend has seen the temperatures in Shanghai drop 10 degrees to 25C, finally heralding signs of autumn. It also marks our 6th month here since arriving from Singapore in April.
Much has transpired in this period of time.
Uncertainties. Trepidations. Excitements. Expectations.
At times, we have even felt exhausted with all these roller coaster of emotions. But we are thankful yet for having each other to get us through them and even more so, for the opportunity to savor these experiences.
Finally living together for the past half a year and building a new life in a new city together. And we are loving every minute of it ... and I wonder why we never started this earlier. And can't imagine it any other way except this.
We have seen our horizons expand and our circle of friends widen. And yet, we are glad that we have kept our old friends in close contact, thanks to the power of the internet! We are bitching with each other every night just like we were back at home...
We learn new things about each other, some that we like and many others that we don't too ... and there are times when I am not particularly proud of the way I handle certain situations. But we live and learn ... And I pray that it'd never stop that way.
Like the season that was the nippy spring when we first arrived, giving way to the record-high scorching summer of June, and now mellowing to a breezy cool autumn ... may our lives and loves be filled with as much excitements, hopes and rewards!
