broody..

It's amazing how a guileless comment can get me thinking so much. No wonder they say it's scary when i start brooding..

It was a casual conversation about what a godly person someone was even on facebook. And I said "I used to be like that". And the reply was that I shouldn't say that I used to be but rather I should aim to be it. And i fully agree with it actually.

But i'm thinking.. Is it really possible to go back to the way things were? Many ppl want to go back to when things were simpler. But whether it is even possible has remained a mystery to me. How does one go back to the way things were when life experiences have changed they way things are? Perceptions, circumstances and environments change. How is it possible to restore the childlikeness? Maybe the key isn't for things to go back to the way they were. Maybe it's about getting out the vicious circle, recognizing the priorities and starting over again - a new improved version. But no one likes change isn't it. It's easier to remain in comfort zone and living things the way they are. Especially when comfort zone doesn't seem to bad. And that is why I'm wondering how long more I will run away for. By now i'm pretty sure that having the hidden stubborn streak, i dun respond too well to advice. But hanging out with ppl from the past does come as a wake up call and a regulatory factor.

I guess it's really time to stop having so much fun and finally get my life in order. I've said that so many times this year. But the phrase "a new beginning" has been ringing in my head. Which obviously hasn't been acted upon. :S

I need to stop brooding and start moving for now! Hopefully trying to be useful for the next 2 weeks instead of wilding my time away is a good start!

boredom

Boredom is beginning to set in. After 1 week of being PRETTY homely. Like i said, life for me now is like a silent stream. I need some new excitement! :P
Went for commencement photo shoot with my family today. It was quite fun but a tad tiring. Maintaining the smile for 100 shots! GOSH. I can't imagine people who do this for a living.

Went for lunch at sunset way yesterday with Cheryl at this place called Grillout. It's pretty much a hidden treasure to me. Maybe cos I dun know the west too well. But it was hidden among hdb blocks among the numerous bars and restaurants sprouting around the area. The prices were really reasonable too. And drinks looked really cheap. A bottle of wine for 48? Housepours for 7? And the 320gm black angus ribeye came with the entire works - bread, soup, dessert and drinks all for 30. Not to mention that it was quite yummy.I was stuffed after lunch and pretty satisfied..

Celebrated my birthday with the family last night. Mum wanted to go out but i was feeling too lazy so we just had steamboat at home. And Dad cooked for me; for the 1st time in my life i should think. :D:D:D
It was nothing too spectacular. But as always, it's the thought that count. It was more than enough for me.. :)

Well, there hasn't been anything much blog worthy these days. The coming week should be quite exciting though. Birthday dinners, mambo's 16th anniversary(if we're going that is..), a hotel stay, a huge birthday party, commencement and a movie. Hopefully that would relieve some of my boredom!! :X
