August is done and dusted and it’s time for my favourite month of the year – September. I have huge hopes for this month and only this month will tell if this happens.

This week was a busy week for me as I had to go twice for my freelance work. The people I am working with are a bunch of wonderful women and I love interacting with them. I only don’t find a lot of solace in the kind of job I am doing (I feel I am coming across as someone spoilt and dissatisfied, but that’s not the case, really) because the work I am doing is not really cerebral and intellectual. I do hope this freelance business of mine takes off and I can then do work I really enjoy!

This week I got a call from a scammer but I couldn’t scam them back. When I picked it up, there was a recorded message with a non Singapore accent saying “This call is from the Singapore High Court about a pending summons against you. Press 9 to continue”. And then the same message perhaps in Chinese. I pressed 9 and a lady started to speak to me in Chinese. I told her to please speak in English and she cut the call. My chance to scam a scammer was foiled! I wanted to engage with the scammer and ask some questions, but since I spoke in English, they knew they couldn’t engage with me and cut the call!

Happy September folks!
