Updates, updates.
I am staring at this page, black, clueless on what to write when ironically I have tons of rants I wanted to vent just a few days ago. Meaning, time does heals all wounds, including taming one's emotion.
I'm back from Taiwan trip. It's a wonderful trip, minus all the torturous walking that makes my back ache like a 90 year old, intensified by as insignificant as a sneeze. Being both direction dummies, we often make detours after detours and countless U-turns. It boils down partly to our misinterpretation of the chinese characters, one different word will set u off in the opposite direction. I like their friendliness, their service, smiles which you don't see much here; everyone has this frown icon plastered on their faces all the time, yes including me.
I have burned deep into my pockets, pampering myself with the 'wants' of luxurious sins. Well, well, there goes the cycle of saving and spending again.
The next adventure will be in November, hopefully when my/ our wallets are able to take another blow.

Recent events triggered me to reflect of the 2 big Fs that out lives are closely revolved around with. Friends and Family.
At times my family are holding up too much expections on me; 20% of my income, family disputes antagnosing relationships when words are passed from one pair of ears to the next (we have already seen and laugh it off in experiments or games of how awfully words can be distorted by the time its passed on to third party).
Having said so, life has to go on. Nothing will pretty much be any help. I yearn for peace.
Friends. The defination of friends is? In my younger days its constant messaging and hanging out; we know each other inside out. I think that defination hardly stands tall now with our other commitments with beloved half, work, studies. How to accept the change and be assured that your friends will be with you just like they always do in the past? Its heart-wrenching to see friends not replying sms-es or going MIA, saying this not to offend anyone. But the comparision between the days we held our phones close and reply immediately pose a drastic picture to what we're doing now. Perhaps we are not that 24/7 hugging our phones now but still I hope that I am worth taking 3 minutes of your time to reply. Because no one likes to be on standby mode, to be turned to only when u need a listening ear or attention. It needs to be maintained just like any other things.
Please let the person you cared for knows that he/ she means to you.

Fabian is driving a red Honda Integra. One of his dream car with 2 doors and a sun roof. More of like traded in FIT and top up the balance. We can't afford a first hand Integra that cost $105k! Sometimes happiness can be as easy as seeing that he's satisfied.
