General navel-gazing (and I mean general)
Slowly but surely I feel myself settling down. This amounts to reviewing my basic beliefs, deciding my priorities, and assuming more resolve. In retrospect, the break's been a true (unanticipated, mindbreaking) Godsend -- the surreality of the Singaporean life/race doesn't quite hit till one's been forcefully wrenched out of it. Sometimes, you know, there really is no understanding...experience is the only thing.
Plenty more things to resolve (read - stupid pseudo dichotomies I've been affected by, but haven't yet managed to work a way around): i) balancing observation with action, ii) being kinder yet franker, iii) being more selfless+responsible, yet not having an over-serious view on things.
And God, I realize how important people are to me. Just a few fine folk can shift the balance of the week. Everything gets beautiful. I really do miss people.
And so. Because I've been feeling emo (but this is a...robust, bona fide sort of emo), I'd like to ask that you guys share about any Truly Unexpected Good/Fun Happenings, anything at all frm this past month! Sounds cheesy I know, but ahya, I JUST WANT TO HEAR ABOUT EXPERIENCES. ANYTHING. :D
