Brain Crap

Sometimes, I wonder about the compository network of my mind. There's so much going on, and sometimes in such a convoluted labyrinth of thoughts, I wonder if my brain matter's overstressed. Generally optimistic but imaginative to a fault at times, I'd depress myself occasionally by 'over-thinking' (if indeed, there's such a term). Something out of nothing. Nothing out of something. I am a capable creator of both - thankfully, this is usually applied only to non-work areas. And thankfully, the long distance period is now over. Physical proximity and the ready availability of opportunities for real-time dialogue, sight and touch make a world of difference. All is more than well, and this shall teach me better than to stray into the scary world of unwarranted paranoia in future.  

Dispossession

When you are able to discard items accumulated from a certain era of your life, save for a handful of mementos, you know that you have come to terms with your past and are enjoying the present.

I agree. Partially.

Last week, I busied myself with such dispossession and discarding. Indeed, I believe I have more or less come to terms with the past. But sometimes, I wonder if I'm really enjoying the present.

New Year, New Beginnings

First post of this new year!

Am now into my 2nd week of no-pay-leave, and I must say that the transition has been smooth still, and this is no mean feat considering what a workaholic I am (was?). Spent the past week clearing up the physical clutter in the rooms, packing up stuff for Salvation, reading accumulated magazines and newsletters, catching up with friends and on sleep & TV shows, preparing visa, going for seminar, making plans for CNY and yadder yadder yadder.

Just another 3.5weeks to go before the Year of the Rabbit arrives. A year of new beginnings. Am receiving it with a mix of excitement and slight apprehension. May all things work out well.
