Vesak long weekend
No, I certainly have not abandoned this journal. Just rather busy at work and in life searching for the path that I should follow.
Nothing quite much to pen these days besides the usual brawls, nonsense and silly things that I have inscribed here. Day in and out, life has not been any better, nor any worse, the usual hectic and incredible emails that I clear each day. Nothing quite interesting.
SY has been instilling in me to do things indifferent and see if things may head towards a better path, and of course, being a better self too. So well, signed up for swimming lesson that will commence end May; oh well, just to perfect my strokes. How lame.
This long weekend was spent rather wasted but relax. Did not have anything planned at all. Absolutely free flow with the wind blows. Was supposed to kite-fly with Kenneth but he is ill. So here I am staying home on a long weekend night.
Talking about kite flying, Mr Lee (which Kenneth named the kite), is such a jinx. Now, we both had never flown a kite and was so looking forward to take Mr Lee high on several occasions when that just never happened! Jamais! Two weeks now since we have been planning to string up Mr Lee and there he is, still lying under my workstation. It was either Kenneth is sick, or Ms Windy decides to take the day off on our chosen day of kite-flying... how coincidental.
Anyhow, spending time at home this long weekend is not too bad after all. Thank God to Clement who spent hours msn-ing with me (catching up on his stay in Toronto with family and relatives from all over the world), or else, either I would drop dead, or I would go berserk and enrol in the mental instituition this evening. Did some serious biking at Bedok Reservoir (3 hours) in the late afternoon and bought some colours to do some paintings tomorrow too ... Just completed Marie Antoinette dvd, and I thought the ending was quite badly done, rather anti-climax.
The first I heard of Marie Antoinette was perhaps from Alex, then Olivier, then National Museum and finally my recent France trip last December... this Austrian lady, also the Queen of France had such influence in the France's history. Very powerful. But what Marie Antoinette's mother said when she was 18 was so true: she was a charming and sexy lady who could not even charm her husband in bed? That was so not acceptable and possible then - that makes me think of myself. Hmm... where has my charm gone to too? Hidden in the Babylon gardens or Chateau Chambord? Can't quite sense it in my recent years.
Ahh... shall get some early rest for some serious painting tomorrow.
Happy Vesak Day.
