Fragment of thoughts

 
Surprisingly cool about this.
Enjoying the ride, you can say, the little things I learn day by day.
The change you’ve always anticipated might not always be for the best, as you can only tell when the time for the change comes.
Then you have to decide whether to stick to your expectations all this while, or learn how to go for something that actually is for the best.
Been practicing yoga regularly & thoroughly enjoying it.
Managed to catch up with the babes, which feels great.
Less heart to heart with GCC due to lack of time.
But after last night’s outing, I know we will be fine despite our busy schedules.
Speaking of which, I really appreciate N’s effort with all the postcards from all over Eastern Europe & multiple phone calls.
Absolutely makes my day :D
Someone from the past tried to make peace with the past, without realizing that people have all already moved on.
Anyhow, I do acknowledge that everyone move on with life at different paces, so there.
I’m starting to really enjoy my work with the University as an alumni committee.
Besides the limitless wine supply *hic* ;p, it’s really nice to have that link with the University to continue our contributing/reaping relationship.
Treasure Hunt this Sunday, woopie! Should be fun.
Photography wise, it’s been fruitful and fun.
Meanwhile, Europe pics are updated here.
It was hella tough to sort through 3,000 images without missing the places & people that made up the experience, and still only have about a dozen or so which I really like.
The potluck birthday get-together on Sat evening was lovely.
Just friends, plenty of food, some intriguing games & a gripping soccer game, it’s been a while since I had such a great time with the usual suspects.
Just what I needed to unwind after quite a few hectic work weeks.

Distance is just a state of mind

 
For those who know me, that’s something that I’ve had (as a nick thingy) for a long while.
I truly believe in this line, that it is just a state of mind.
Afterall, the people that you truly connect with will not be far from your thoughts most of the time despite the fact that they are physically apart from you.
Especially with the wonders that technology offer us these days, it’s technically even easier to stay in touch when you are apart than when you are in the same city or something (due to something called ‘taking things for granted’ syndrome)

 
But there are certain days where it’s just harder to take than others.
I hope and wish that I could just drop everything and fly there, to that city where I long so much to lay my own eyes upon, the streets where we will stroll & the laughter that comes being evoked by the deepest joy you can feel.

Today is one of those days.
One where the physical distance & time differences are acutely felt, leisure paces of conversations is impossible and all you have are millions of thoughts condensed into handwritings and it travels through those thousands of miles to reach you.
Where that is ALL you have.

 


Sigh.
I’ve had some really good days, but somehow today I just wish distance isn’t such a big part in my life.

 
On happier notes, everything else is going great.
Accd to GCC, I met with both my future and my past on the same day yesterday :D
He could be quite right, but I’ve learnt long ago to just let things be as time always have lil surprises in store for us.

 
Photography wise – I find myself getting back into it with a gusto, bordering on obsession.
Wonder if that’s a good or a bad thing.

 
Singapore road trip was alright.
Revelations in certain things and Phantom was a disappointment as expected.
The other bits of the trip was good though & definitely a sign that we should all do it again.

Thanks for listening to me.
For coming up with the little things that make me happy despite your hectic schedule.
For the falling back which I greatly need on a day like this.
The 15 minute phone calls replaces our day long banter, but only makes it mean more.

Sin in its purest form…

Baskin Robbins gives 31% off their delectable range of 31 different flavoured ice creams on the 31^st of every month.
So, being the gluttons that we are, it became our past time on a lazy Saturday afternoon…

 


The boys are crazy – they whacked their whole individual pints & I’m the loser who can’t finish my pint ;p
The highlight of it all is more of the taste testing of scooping from other people’s pints to try out all the lovely flavours.
The Strawberry Cheesecake had real cream cheese chunks in it… mmmmmmmm and there were real chunks of macadamia nuts in Macadamia….
*falls into a sugar-induced coma *
But most of all, I got to spend some good ol’ quality time with the boys :D
 

 
Singapore bound this weekend, woopie!
Time for some catch ups & road trip sing-alongs as well as being disappointed with Phantom of the Opera (I’ve already know that I will as it would not be able to match up to the London West End cast)
Anyhow, I could use a short break from the city that is KL.

On another note, I’m shopping around for a yoga school.
Shortlisted a few & will be trying out one today.
Yay.
I love to stretch & really enjoyed it the last time.
Especially in light of my recent injuries, I have no choice but to rehabilitate via low-impact toning workouts, so yoga it is.

 Have a good week ahead.

Beauty in contradiction

Twas a rainy but sunny evening.
