Here's to nice encounters, and to the beautiful ones that leave with the seasons.
Subject is a line from XXXHolic S2, an anime I'm following. I thought it had a nice ring to it, but it's probably more poignant in the scene: A spirit floats in the air in front of a cherry tree, and she rises into the sky as cherry blossoms fall languidly. She's at peace and moves on.
So. This post has been floating around in my head for a week but there's been no impetus to write it because there isn't much to report (though I should probably know better as the words usually prove me wrong quickly once I begin).
I'm taking a break from the job hunt before it wears me down and I decide I'm wasting my time here when there are other places back in Singapore which will gladly let me contribute to their work. I've also decided this might require a more hands-on approach, so I designed a CD sleeve and CD label, got them printed, burnt my stuff; and I'm making house calls this coming week. Unannounced. That's the masterplan. So hopefully I can catch hold of the creative directors. Not really sure what time I should rock up to be honest. But in a perfect scenario, the masterplan will convince these people I'm serious and err motivated, and I'll offer to work with them for free. Yup, masterplan. There's really nothing else I can do, and this is as good as anything.
Been chatting a lot with Alicia over MSN and I was surprised at how easily we hit it off. I always thought she looked kinda unapproachable, but now in hindsight, I look unapproachable most of the time too. And she's actually a more vocal, female version of me. Like me if I'm an Alpha Male. Probably not the best analogy or a flattering description.
I want to move out too, ASAP. I'm tired of this uneasy, awkward feeling, needing to live like a mouse so I don't become an interruption in other people's lives. Alicia is visiting Singapore and when she comes back in two week's time, hopefully she'd have decided about moving out and we can go house hunting, which will no doubt be fun and frustrating.
