to rest my head

it feels as if i've been living in time warps. time slowing down, then speeding up, then failing to move at all.

i'm in the midst of wrapping up a major project i've been working on sporadically since the beginning of the year. late nights, forgotten weekends and amazing support from some of my favourite colleagues and it'll all be over soon.

finished work late and couldnt get a suitable dinner buddy so i had a nice dinner date with my mom instead. nasi kandar for me and ice kacang for her. i try to eat with my parents at least twice a week, seeing they're my house mates. but i rarely get to eat with them "alone". tonight was nice. my mom will always stick out like a sore thumb in a mamak. but somehow, tonight with a ridiculously huge bowl of ice kacang she seemed to fit in. more so than her tired haggard looking son, in crumpled cotton workwear.

it's really too late and i'm much too tired to blog. but i'm letting my life fleet past too fast. i remind myself its important to sit still for awhile and capture moments.

i'll be heading off to a beach getaway. it's a company trip but i'm determined to get a suitable amount of "me" time or at least get wasted in the process.

looking forward to it. i'm already planning on my pack list :

  • sunglasses
  • beer money
  • sunblock
  • loose shirts to wear unbuttoned
  • journal (finally found the perfect one in hongkong)
  • iphone+music+headphones (need to bring this back from the dead - it's brickd on me)
  • underwater camera (courtesy of pohsi)
  • guitar (gotta get a new bag for it)

its only a weekend holiday but god knows i need it.

(dear god, please let us survive the bus rides)
