R-E-S-T

Well, just got back from the company's D&D. Cant say i really enjoy myself, more like going thru the motion. Perhaps i looked outgoing, but beyond that outgoing look, i prefer to settle in front of my pc, penning down my thoughts and let my thoughts run wild, like wat i m doing now. My perfect R-E-S-T is to be able spend the weekend at home, be it a couch potato surfing the boring few limited channels i have, be it playing the different kinds of mindless games in front of the pc all day or strolling down the dirty smelly canal near my home.....R-E-S-T to me is to be able to do wat i cant do for a long time, just being alone and letting my thoughts run wild. Unfortunately, i dun have the luxury. In the place where i lived, things moved very fast......and weekends unfortunately are always packed wif activities, be it entertainment, spending time wif family, or catching the unfinished work or studies.

Enough of the whining....may as well write smthg since i cant sleep after drowning myself down wif a few cups of coke just now....for those who just noe me, i m super sensitive to caffeine......a cup of coke is enough to keep me awake for a long time, so i may as well pen down my thoughts.

Just read a very good article by King Kang (a renowed writer back in my place) that sparked off some thoughts. He wrote abt revisitng a place tat he once visited wif his loved one and wish that person was there then. Well, i tot of my Japan trip to Hokkaido last year. I supposed it was the best trip so far....and yes, it stirred up my thoughts. I was tinking, if i did ever visit that place again, wifout the person who did the trip wif me then, i may write smthg like that. We went thru a lot of stuff, like getting stranded in Lake Toya, missing out the fabulous fireworks, caught in the rain in Noboribetsu, experiencing the musical box tingerling in Otaru and yes, receiving that particular email fr the fren who travelled wif me and who had the same thoughts warmed my heart....perhaps if i travelled back to Hokkaido alone again, i may write a "wish you were here" article. Of course, i also remembered about the trip i made to KL. i mentioned it a few times when i was in Hua Hin, reason was the two places had so much in common. In Hua Hin, we climbed to the top of the temple to pray, in KL we climbed the 272 flight of stairs to pray....and to the same God, Buddha. The only diff was the travel partner was diff......but it still brought back lots of good memories.....

Was renewing my frenship wif a sec sch fren recently. Actually cant rem how i noe her, din really talk to her in sec sch then......but i was just using my R-E-S-T period to do things i cant do for a long long time....like i said, i was always known to be outgoing. Surprisingly she saw the serious part of me that day, talking and planning for my future. Cant imagine i cld be that serious. I supposed tat was the prb wif me.........i dun like pple to get too close to me, to noe me too well. I guess a distance, no matter how tiny was always good. But anyway it was good to chat wif her. It is always good to talk to more pple to see how they feel abt things, how they see you. In short, is always good to hear abt more opinions.....

I rem there was tis saying in a Japanese show that, a short rest is meant for longer road ahead. I supposed after all the rest periods i required, i would have to get on to complete things that i was supposed to. Before i cld get to my rest periods, i supposed i still had much work to complete.....till then. Gan ba te !
