My bedroom is my favourite place in the world. If a bathroom were thoughtfully added, i see no need to leave my room at all. With my door shut all the time, i get the utmost privacy i crave. That is why, when i spend long periods of time away from this special hiding place, i feel homesick.
I got to spend one whole day communing with my room today! It was very comforting and soothing because since the exam period, i was able to spend only snatches of time in this special place. It was quite unforeseen though. I was supposed to embark on an exciting biking trip around Pulau Ubin (an especially long awaited one) but my friend was ill and i had just recovered from a fever and flu myself. Subjecting ourselves to treacherous, unknown terrains and huge swarms of blood-sucking insects is not the wisest thing to do. Nevertheless, treacherous roads and hungry mosquitoes aside, I've resolved not to miss any other opportunity to explore Ubin.
Pupillage application begins in a week, but i have yet to open the pupillage directory. Sigh, wicked inertia. Instead, i've read the Alchemist, which is very inspiring and good, but confusing at some parts. What does the Soul of the World refer to, in real life? But it is very encouraging when reminded that each one of us has a personal legend to live, and we go through different stages in pursuit of it, if we decide to pursue it at all. Jolene and i used to spend hours figuring out what our purposes in life were, and we'd end up looking at each other in dismay because all we like to do is to watch DVDs (she, not me), go online (me, not she) and eat, read and sleep (we).
Life has been very full recently, leaving no time for negativity and depression, only bright spots and sunshine-filled days. Thank You Lord. If only wishes could come true, i would wish that happiness isn't ephemeral, or so hard to find.
