Watching the World go by...

Went to the top of this small hill in Bukit Gombak last night with Jeffrey and just sat there in the darkness, chatting, listening to songs and watching the world go by... watching the lights of each house go off one by one as people go to bed, watching each train passing by, carrying lesser passengers as it goes deeper into the night, watching the staff getting ready to close the station and watching people return home after a long day at work... the noise and lights of the city gradually dying down to the stillness of the night... Sometimes in life, we just forget to enjoy this wonderful stillness... always rushing from one place to another, from one task to another... a constant mad race for time, a mad race for things to do to fill up our lives... Many times when i went out with friends, we're always looking for something new to do, asking each other "Erm... so what next?" and yet ending up doing the same old mundane stuff like watching movies, playing pool, walking around and then later feeling bored. Yet last night was one of those nights which i felt could go on forever and yet not feel bored... We were in fact doing nothing, just sitting there, yet that doing nothing becomes a something to fill us up. Funny isn't it... the human mind. Too bad it was a cloudy night... but one star was kind enough to shine its light. So we just sat there till almost 1am in the morning...

Anyway... that doing nothing inspired me to visit my sad sad blog which i seldom visit myself... so i doubt anyone else visits... been another 4 months since i wrote again... poor thing.. abandoned once again by its owner.. hahz. Hmmz.. so what has happened so far? If you're bored and have nothing better to do, then here's more reading for u. Finally walked down the street of ORD! Yay!!! Hahz.. and i saw this street in Perth called ORD! hahaz. How interesting Finally an operationally ready service man... which means, i can keep my army equipment to collect dust until the next call up! Hahz. But it didn't come easy... i had to conduct an 8 day field camp before i was releases... so it was busy, busy, busy and then suddenly... nothing... just nothing... and the days that immediately followed dragged long... like a spirit trapped in another dimension, listless, aimless, a spectre wandering within the 4 walls of my home... There was nothing to do... no where to go... i was dying a slow death of boredom... rotting away gradually... lost in the maelstrom of existence once again... hahaz

So i got a ticket and ran off to Australia... but instead of a holiday, i was made to work! hahaz... not so bad actually lah... was helping my uncle in his exhibition at the royal perth show,
promoting his new drink called beta jooce! A health drink that tastes good and is good for the body! Contains coral seagrass which is good for the skin and beta glucan which is a polysaccharide from.... oopz... hahz... see... i memorized the script well! hahz. ALso got to meet up with Kenneth Chang, a good friend of mine whom i have not met for 6 years! And met many other people whom i didn't know but knew me! Hahaz... surprising. All in all, it has been a great trip!
