Wrote this while sitting in the boot of my car... yes you heard correct. The boot is a great place for sitting. Remind me to get some champane and caviar next time. ;) Damn it. My 2.4 timing was close to 11 mins. I'm screwed i tell ya..
I just love those old mature HDB estates... Don't u?
There's so much joy around that we don't take time to see and experience because we are so caught up with our own daily lives..
The rush to go to work,appointments, schedulesStressed by job requirements, assignments, and deadlinesNeed for fulfillment in daily living of job satisfationWe have mortal desires. The 'need' to be happy. The 'need' for material wealth. The 'need' to be fulfilled by earthly emotions
Need vs want vs desire.
ahhh.. I love the holidays.Yet I hate it.All the time in the world to think and spiral.Not good at all. Time goes soooooo sooooooooooooooooo slowly.
But to have the time to discover joy in the simple things...In the things we do everyday yet we don't have the patience or heart to do so.......
Lovely morning it is.
Whether it be the super duper old Indian couple that sat with each other on the bench just chit-chatting politely to one another... The 2 young toddlers that were mimicking their grandmas footstep, marching and giggling in step. The old uncle that just sits by himself gazing into the sky while the birds flutter about and leaves fallen from the trees rustle in the gentle breeze. Even the Chinaman who was ticked off angrily by an old lady because he almost knocked into her while cycling... was a hoot.
Every scene is heartwarming and wonderful.
Sigh.
The morning sun is always stunning in all its splendor... Watched a majestic albertross ( I think it is..damn.. no camera with me) swooping over the river just feels me up with awe and wonder. Theres beauty all around.
Immerse yourself in it. Although you feel empty and all alone in this world.
Think about all the people in your life whom you've taken for granted.
As I lay on my bed last night broken and wasted, despite just writing about despair a few hours earlier, I lamented. I complained. I wept.
And my bro had to barge into my room and ordered me to go downstairs to help him recover my rabit who ran away from home.
What the shit?!?!?!?!?! Can't a man despair in peace?
When i finally came back to my room. I recieved 3 sms on my phone
One was a friend who took a while to respond to my earlier sms. She was at camp. And offered what remaining time she had to answer some of my questions.
The other was a 'brother', who thought of me while listening to a song and asked me to tune in to gold 90.5 immediately.
The last was a dear old friend, who would, in all his knowledge and power, do anything to help me get up on my feet if he only knew why I was like this.If he only know what and how.
I complained about my bro last nite, who has been bugging me non-stop the past month coz he wanted to buy his phone.This morning, i found my car washed.
My parents are overseas. Only my brother and me are at home.Go figure.
Always think about the things people have done for you. Go figure.
