Here's a thought.

So.. I'm back in hometown finally. Got here on Monday actually. Well, so far it's been quite fun. I mean, what's not? food is something I've been craving for quite some time and finally I've got to wallow in all that (well, not "all" literally) , and people are those I've missed for like 24/7 and I've met almost all of them. So yea, it's fun here.

Anyway, I am now in my most-visited coffee shop here. Well, not that it's my most favorite coffee shop I would say, only that it's the least crowded and noisy and it's got a cool foosball table so yea, I like chilling out here. And I'm alone now. Yep, I'm quite a loner sometimes. You know, there's always this loner mood kicking in every once in a while. I just feel like writing and sipping and not socializing. =P

Well, I've been quite socialized today though. I just had a couple-of-hours meeting with a friend, chatting together over a cup of tea and clouds of smoke which I'm quite concerned of how shorter my life would be hanging around a chain-smoker. o well =P.. anyway, choky, I would say.
Well, before that, I had lunch with another friend during her lunch break at work. We went to this newly launched italian restaurant near home and I had pasta, she had pasta, we had a pan of pizza and we Italy-zed it all the way. (okay, no such word like italy-ze, peeps) =P


Well, nothing much has changed here actually. Just a number of restaurants popped open recently, and places seem quite the same. I drove for a couple of hours yesterday and was quite disheartened and paralyzed at the same time while getting stuck in the fierce jam where cars overtook each other and sped up for, well overtaking each other of course. I needed some time to adapt you know, like when a puppy pet is unleashed into a jungle of lions and tigers, it shivers too. So yea, it's kinda scary. Well, I dont wanna sound too sappy but that's how it is here if you drive. It's like getting into the wild. wilder than those zoos or underwater world or anything in singapore. you name it. =P

see those long rows behind

Well, I cant even start to explain how stoked I was when I first got here monday night. It all came to me when I jumped in the car and was driven home. I thought of millions of things to do and stories to tell, but well, I guess I've started losing the momentum by now. If anything, I dont feel like I'm a part of all these anymore. I was once.
Here's what I realized, before coming here, I really missed home and all of it, but it dawned on me later in the day that maybe, from time to time, home has shifted and it's no longer that place now. Maybe, from time to time, our homes differ as we grow and outgrow them. Home is like misplaced by another, and that's simply -as interesting as it is- what keeps our lives humming. Things change as we change, and that's just how not boring it is sometimes, and exciting if you're lucky enough. And so it occured to me, why not make it not boring at least, and try to see and be in as many places as we can, simply just to make our way to living life to the fullest.

Well, I know it sounds like it's a regular speakeasy to you, but I'd say, it's a worthy effort, time wise. You know, we live once and it's damning fleeting if you ever realize. So why not find your time-to-time homes, and live happily in that ultimate one. Well, I'll at least try, and who cares if I'm wrong. Who's anybody to say anything anyway?
