Aftermath of a reality-quake 11:11 pm

I was hit by a quake of reality last evening. It shook me up quite bad.

It didn't help that I arrived home from work at 3am in the morning, a heavy body with a heavy heart. So dragging myself out of bed yet again to work wasn't easy.

Yet I haven't had time to digest the emotional buffet from last night. After dragging myself out of bed today, I started work at Orchard. Lethargy first blocked out the mess in my head, then the bustle of the work place made me absent-minded about the mess: Almost.

The mess is still not sorted in both my head and heart.
But somehow I don't feel as burdened, lead-footed. Perhaps its Ella & Louis on the busride home that is serviving as the panacea.

But I know this is but a temporary solution. I have to deal with this mess directly and surely. Somehow, sometime.

Somehow, sometime.

Back to Changi for the last time... 4:27 pm

I just finished a weekend programme, Choice Weekend. I last did it end of last November. Back then, I went as participant, this time as presenter. The irony is then I was rather disgruntled participant, this time very pleased presenter.

As I ride across the shadows of trees on the expressway, I am traversing across the island from Jurong to Changi. It would be my final shift at the Changi Visitor Centre. All too quickly and suddenly, yet another mini-chapter flips by; tomorrow I start at the Orchard centre.

I have realised from the weekend retreat that I'm still getting used to being 25. Once again, I become the young boy in the adult world. Somehow, people do make first impressions on one's age.

Anyhow, time does fly by. Its already the end of the first month of the new decade; Apple finally has the iPad released. It leaves me wondering what else lies ahead in the new year.
