wanderlust

Whee! I'm finally back from my 2 graduation trips! Though technically speaking, the 2nd wasn't entirely a grad trip since our boys are so far from graduation. Anyways, i think i learnt a lot from both trips, particularly in communication/ relationship management. For the first, i'll come right out and say that it was probably a good example of everything not to do. And for the 2nd; a fine tuning of communication among solid friends. Perhaps it was the company, but i found that taiwan was an absolute ball of fun! =) I set out on the trip to make a diary entry for each day of the trip. That plan completely failed cus i was too busy enjoying every moment of the 10 days to sit down and properly record my thoughts. Oops, haha.. Despite the bad start and poor weather throwing off ALL our plans for the first 3 days of the week, i think we managed to go around it and still have fun with bang, kang xi, ktv, monopoly deal and a huge dollop of thrash talking! =) Thank god for good friends! I'll save my sappy emotions for another avenue, but i'd just like to thank you 3 for making the trip so much fun. Thanks also for the friendship and ESPECIALLY for trudging through yangmingshan despite your grouses and grumbles all the freaking way! XD that's what friends are for man! to put you through shit! hahaha.. Much appreicated! Taiwan, I'll be coming back to conquer all your peaks another time! And to all the kind taiwanese who rendered us help in one way or another, thank you too. =) You made taiwan feel like home.

Back to reality: I'm feeling a small bout of recluse at the moment. A little overwhelmed by the re-establishment of connections, obligations and responsibilities. Pardon me if i seem distant for now, because i need some time to acclimatise. Be back soon!

Recluse

Once every so often, I like to withdraw into myself and shut out the world- whimsically. Just stop talking. No real reasons. Not really the first time. Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps, this is a part of me that needs some getting used to. Perhaps, the people who knows me, knows this happens. Perhaps, the people who do, doesnt exist. Perhaps i'm wrong- Perhaps this is selfish. But once, just once, every so often- i'd like to claim my leave from social behaviors. Just once every so often, i'd like to disappear. Take the phone off the hook- for ages. -I'm sorry though, if my habits hurt. And i do so appreciate the concern too. But, like my daddy says: ourself knows best. sk

overwhelming

i woke up at 4am this morning without an alarm, thinking about all the work undone. realising it's the 12th, and that i'm meeting AC on the 19th to run through my presentation, which i haven't editted. thinking about needing to submit 12 more prescriptions by tomorrow, and i haven't done any. thinking about topics discussions that have't been fulfilled. thinking. thinking. thinking. but unable to drag myself outta bed; my body resisting to put itself through the tsunami of shit. grr. i shall shut both my eyes and trudge through it. Need to remind myself really, that work never stops. ever. Need to remind myself of who i am truly- that i exist without the work. i simply have to start living and breathing again. A random thought, you know how some sites like to ask you to key in some verification code before posting? I like the way blogger does it. "Please prove that you're not a robot." haha, but unfortunately, i think i am becoming one. ok. e

Limited time

We all have limited time on this Earth,  and a limited 24 hours in a day. What you choose to pack into that 24 hours, will decide what your life portrait will look like at the end of your road. (Yes, I think a lot about the end of the road nowadays.) I was just thinking to myself yesterday, if i applied the "rise of the guardian" concept to myself, what would my core be? I had wanted it to be love. I had thought that love shouldn't be limited. I had thought, that I would be able to dedicate a certain share of love to all the people in my life, who needed the care at the point in time when they do. I had thought, that my heart should be big enough to welcome as many people in as possible. Because ultimately, at the end of my road, I want to breath my last breath smiling, knowing that I have made a difference to people. I had thought that was possible, but i forgot that while my heart can be limitless, my time can't. In trying to be everybody's friend, I have fa
