Deluge.

I really, really stormy nights. I like the sound of rain tapping on my window. I like the peace I find in the sound of rain, making nothing else matter.

Good shows

This week has been a hectic one yet at the same time quite happening. While I have been slogging very hard to get certain things done by mid-September, I have had a fair share of recreational activities although they all revolve around dramas, which are fortunately my favourite form of leisure. I managed to catch 3 pretty good shows this week and I like to jot some thoughts down lest I come back again in the near future to recollect some feelings when watching these productions. Wild City (迷城) I was once a huge fan of Louis Koo that I would watch almost all of his films. This one was an impromptu decision because a friend was keen and asked for my company. I like how the director Ringo Lam established the characters, especially Shawn Yue's role. The way Ringo Lam cast the roles of Louis Koo and Shawn Yue in very different lights yet highlighted the rapport between them really convinced and delighted me. However, I find certain parts too cliche, although I could tell and did appreci...

carpe diem

I am jotting this down because I want to recollect  this moment years down the road. Today colleagues and I finally realised our Ubin hike after procrastinating it for the longest time. I have to admit, right at the beginning I was apprehensive, mainly because I didn't want to be reminded of the past that hasn't passed for too long.

But as the engine started and the boat made its way to Ubin island, I no longer felt that kind of pain inside me. Maybe time really heals. And as I have always believed, the vastness and tranquility of the seawater always help to heal a wounded heart. The hike was a long one. Along the way we made fun of one another and enjoyed the sights that nature could offer. We had early dinner thereafter and made an impromptu decision to have cakes at Holland V. Dragging my we...

I am sorry, really.

These days, I repeatedly tried to recall the last time I could count a day a happy one. I have no recollection of such an occasion. Yes. I do know it is pointless to kill my brain cells like this, what matters most is not looking back but embracing what is coming. But what if what is coming is too horrifying to embrace? Yesterday over dinner, Jan said he would always imagine the alternative and if it was a worse situation, then he would contend and doing so has sustained him till now. I thought it was quite an appropriate advice. It has been a while since I heard a constructive advice that actually makes me feel better. Work issues have been making me very demoralised, not to say upset (okay maybe sometimes upset yes). To the point that I have been displaying bad attitude. The irony is that I am actually conscious about all these. I stop replying messages. I am rude to people, many times my mother. If anything, I think I have really been a very horrible person. And.. I think I am still...
