Feliz navidad 2011

Cold night today. If the temp is much lower, the drizzle would have be snowflakes. Refreshing for a little drizzle outdoors. Warmth and cosiness under the shelter. Visiting homes and being welcomed by loads of food, how do one say no esp when the plate is served right in front of u? Stuffed indeed.

Other than homes, at fosters for afternoon tea. First time there, nice little cafe n it seems ok to be rowdy once in a while. Packed. With laughter and chatterings as well. Complete with the soft carols humming in the background and the dazzlin lights and crystal balls around the fir tree.

If not for the spreading of the delayed sandfly bites effect, it would have been a nice long wkend. But still it's awesome with an extra day off. Unbearable itch tho. Argh. Hope they go away soon.

End of 2011 soon. Merry xmas!
And awaiting the coming of 2012.

fer_Reset

Saw the Interesting key reset button with f.e.r.

Finally got to fulfill the want of cycle down to changi beach. Gone past the perimeter fencing beyond which i've taken the path on plane when takin off or when landing. Taken the road by car and now finally on 2 wheels after talkin abt it for at least half a yr to a yr? Cant rmb. Somehow a smile formed on my sulky face when i ride past the perimater fence. Feel like I'm out of the cage! Shrugs. Dont know why the cheap thrill. Was quite sad when it rained, but dont care, not gg to stop me. So went out, prepared to be drenched and for the mud. Really jus not enough to push me to get a wheel guard.

Rain stopped after 15 min. Sunshine. So all the way till this pitstop. Nice gentle waves but getting choppy now. And the dark clouds are looming before me again. Ahhhh raindropsss.
I better get back before it gets dark. Else i'll be breaking promise.

Marching in the last month of the year

Time flashes past. "flashes" is more appropriate with the element of light, unless there is something that travels faster than the speed of light? "flies" is truly an understatement.

The dragonflies fly around jus above the water surface with their occassional tip tapping on the water. The ripples tho disrupt the calmness temporarily, somehow seem to be orchestrating in harmony. N this scene repeats over n over again. Like the months pass by in the touch n go manner.

Read an article previously, 3 cynical views on life. It says: each life follows a predictable, weary course which ends in tragedy.

The 7 ages are helpless infant; whinin schoolboy; passionate lover; valiant soldier; respectable citizen; doddering senior; expiring old man. From jaques.

At 10, an animal; at 20, a lunatic; at 30, a failure; at 40, a fraud; at 50, a criminal. A japanese proverb.

Unthinkable childhood; gung-ho adolescence; disillusioned adulthood; hypocritical middleage; dishonest old age. From the writer.

Shrugs. Thats life. Then you dont even need to have your future told. If u were given a chance on a time machine n only allowed to press a button once, would u pick the forward orthe backward button?

Like friday, December seems like the happiest month of the year, despite the rain and the cold. The xmas decorations lighted up the city and the xmas carols lift the spirits of many. Frm memories, i always spend this season in town. The closest being returning on the eve. Memories are always fun n sweet. Thanksgiving parade in nyc with the many pretty big floats(wow); snow fighting at tyne mouth(ouch!); multiple snow angels making in tampere(flapflap); running in the snow in santa village(brrr); eating tall icecream in taipei(where's my tongue?); walking around watching hot breaths coming out from our mouths in the xiamen valley(puffpuff). Will be great to bring all this back home, but nothing beats the laughters and chatters when frens n family gather and cuddle together in cosy homes. Even for the foam party down orchard road when all become frens.

Welcome 十二月!
