Life.Time.You.Define.
Wow. It's been a long time since I properly blogged and updated this space. Absence is a good thing once in a while. It means a break from the usual routine. And in that break from your usual routine you find that you suddenly learn a lot. When time finally becomes yours again you sit and contemplate and find you have shifted your paradigm. In the short span of one month you pretty much fall into a new routine for the new year. You learn about what to expect and how to cope with the new changes (if any). For me, this new year saw the introduction of a new commitment which requires the giving up of some old ones. Like many others, I am moving one step towards my destiny; the course in counseling has started. It's been pretty fun. 'Cept for the fact that I become a social recluse in the class cos I just don't have the intention to go all out and make new friends in that short period. But my coursemates are really nice people, I discovered. I don't have to try hard to be a friend to them. All of them are outgoing by nature. I am one of the few gentlemen in class once again.
You know what, I really must make plans to go on a holiday getaway this year!! Target: Mid-year. Destination: Somewhere sightseeing worthy with a new perspective on life to offer. Budget: $1000. Duration: 7 days. Hold me to it people! On the other hand, there are so many places in Singapore that we locals have yet to discover. The other day the chopstick duo were at Basheer Graphics and stumbled on this local guide book that had so many interesting places featured! You know, one thing I have learned about life is this. You've got to develop your own unique taste for it. It's like food, there are times you just have to eat even when you don't feel like it or you will never grow properly. But there are times when mealtimes are a leisure and you get to choose your own course and cuisine. And at that point, you have to develop your own taste. Find out for yourself what's hot and what's not. And every once in a while take time off to enjoy good food with good company. So in life, we have to find out what whets our appetite for it or the days will soon be drab and boring.
