watch and observe

Mornings and me are never meant for but yesterday morning was something that made me realised another wonderous simplicity of life. at a kopitiam i had those bee hoon/mee with chicken wing, cabbage, otah and fish cake etc with my usual cuppa teh. somehow i love mornings, watching the city come alive as students make their way to school, the morning rush to work and the older generation having their breakfast before going marketing.

There was a gentle breeze, the sun was shining warmly with the sounds of aunties taking drink orders and the tinks and clangs of the uncle making kopi/teh. when i was a student mornings meant getting out of home and hoping onto the bus or train to school, caught in the vicious cycle a break from the daily norm seems refreshing and sets you thinking as we achieve greater things in life what about the finer things and simple ordinary activities of the commoner.

i feel damn fcking fortunate that i'm living here and now

Jetting off to bangkok

Imagine i am flying off to bangkok on friday and i only told my mum about my little post graduation holiday on monday after i have paid for the air ticket and accommodation, her reply was that i should have told her earlier about the plans and she might be able to get room rates at a lower price. Oh well. i am all excited about the food and shopping now and friday couldn't come any faster.

When i thought of days upon my return i had to start thinking what i am gonna do before i serve the nation *grins* as trust me, days of nothing to do is a pain in the arse.

what happens now when the wind fades

The one thing that I have now is all the time in the world and somehow the feeling is horrible as now that i have officially nothing to do and national service is months away, i am practically growing mushrooms at home. Looking back, time has definitely swish past like some bloody shinkansen and it's finally time for graduation after three unforgettable years. All the exams and projects and five months in Shanghai, i still remember how at times i was grumbling and cursing at all those school work, now that i come to think of them its really nothing much.

However i curse at times like these when you're in the middle of two chapters in life, neither here nor there but hanging in between. Planning for a holiday seems like another dilema cause i gotta earn some revenue then there's the thing of no hotels will employ a person to work front desk part time. speaking of holiday, was chillin at tcc beside emerald hill with some close friends when we happily decide to have a post graduation holiday to bangkok. this time i felt like just going there with a guide book and go with the flow, no planning no nothing.

Oh i shall spend my time reading and i just remembered that i have yet to read the last harry potter book. a walk through a bookshop the other day was really exciting as i saw numerous new titles that are interesting. and it has been quite some time since i had the chance to plant myself at starbucks at the airport and read my time away. what job pays me to travel around the world and discover places. i wanna be a photo journalist, a news caster, a pilot, a cabin crew, a hotelier but *gasps* looks like there's only time for one.
