Brand new vision

Turning 29, I found a brand new vision towards relationship.

Seemingly, my unconscious sharp words have turned people off. Well, I was trying to put forth a frank discussion with them. I thought, it is the righteous way to treat people you appreciate.

I was told I talked too much. Any problem of being candide? Or people with poor intention hated to be unmasked.

29th

First of all thanks to Mom and Dad!

I am in the middle of my Singapore holiday. Just counted with 5pf, so far, I have met up with 5 cancerians in my trip. She said I am scary, an addict to cancer friends. :P

It is my intention to get away from the boredom in Taipei and to find excitement in Singapore. I got it all. Completing two third of the trip, I am already exhausted! Before I get them out in the next entries, let's view some pictures of the trip

Solo lunch at Fish Market on 25th p.m.

busy

... with picking up presents for my long lost friends
... with searching for appropriate wrappers for the presents
... with buying famous Taiwanese snacks as sovenirs
... with checking the "order status" of my new ipod baby
... with working out last minute
... with filling in my last few time slots
... with confirming meeting times and venues

Haha... I am not going home, I am going to Singapore.

Salt & Bread

Approaching the last year of my twenties', I had my celebration dinner at Salt & Bread with three new found friends in Taipei. It was a celebration for both Fuigo's and my birthday. After number of sinful great dishes and some silly conversations, we moved on to the "ice bar" of below 10 c for volker shots. Original Volka came first, then volka with fragrance of banana, chocolate, mango, lemon... last but not least, we had "spirit of life" with 80% alcohol. After deserts and a few photo shots, we left for Brown Sugar for jazz and more alcohol.

This was my first celebration in Taipei and it was merry and enjoyable!

Please don't take it away again...

Today I am busy with both work and my holiday schedule.

The feeling is special about going "back" to Singapore. When I was busy lining up meetings with friends and planning for places to visit, I felt the sense of belonging to the place. Singapore is where I have stayed longest after my home. Also, it is where I have gone through a major change in life, that is learning to be independent. Today, I was talking to some people about Singapore, their response is "boring"... At that moment, I didn't say anything to defend the country. I know, what makes a place fasinating are the people and experiences and it is beyond words.

The return is long planned and is a birthday treat to myself. Although I am adapting better in Taipei, still I miss the heart warming feeling of being pampered by my Singaporean friends. I miss both intelligent discussions and non-sense talks with them, especially sitting at alfresco cafe over coffee and cigarettes (sometimes too hot til sweating).

This is the very first time I get myself an experience as present for birthday. Thanks for all the friends who help to make it work.

Response to "Reflection" by 5pf

Click here if you want to know the "dark" side of me... hehehe...

Brokeback Mountain

It is painful not being able to end up together with the one you love, but does that mean you will live happily everafter otherwise?

不要將愛化成了束縛的空殼

Wow, this is just inspiring. To continue with the tone, I am going to watch Brokeback Mountain.

Reflection

An uninvited female friend insisted to stay over night at my place for a few nights. Well, her excuse is she can't sleep alone while her flat mate is away.

For those who know me well, you can imagine how frustrated I could be. But, I am looking at the positive side of the incident. She is like a mirror to me and reminds me not to behave like her as it is extremely annoying. Here are the dont's:-

1. ask one who she/ he was just chatting with over the phone after she/ he hanged up
2. question whether one showered for the day (unless he is going to share your bed)
3. repeat yourself over and over again
4. assume you are invited when one is telling you his appointments for the day
5. disbelieve one can actually go to work whatever time he likes
6. comment about ones workload is too light (as you are in no position to judge unless you are working with him)
7. say someone looks like a size 40 who actually wears 38, especially when the person is in the process of slimming
8. talk too much of non-sence to a person in the first hour awake
9. use interrogative sentences too often
10. leave breathing space to your counterpart no matter he is a friend or a lover

before bed, i wanted to tell you this.

I have lost faith in ones who are closest to me. I don't even want to tell them the whole truth. It is not happiness at all if I am not able to share.

I feel lonely...　

buzz...

An unexpected phone call came just in time to conclude my home leave with a heart warming note. That's all I need.

I am writing along with YanZi live concert playing with my parents LCD Flat TV. Her voice is an indulgence as well as the lyrics. An indulgence to my "underwater".

Stepping out of the habit of living in the past, I am living in the present. My heart is light as feather, floating in the air.

Nothing exciting nor surprising happened tonight but a simple dinner, followed by a silly movie. Two friends sitting opposite to each other, chatting and laughing about nitti grittis in life, teasing one another, sharing big visions of future, eating, smoking and zipping tea together. No rush, no hush, no well laid plan. Everything just went along the way. It was an early night, just right to catch the last train home. At the platform, we hugged goodbye as usual.


Only when we bidded adieu, I felt a slight bit of hollow.


Well, the comfort is, by preserving the relationship with all my heart, it is going to last forever as I wish.
