A hodgepodge of happenings

It's almost the end of November and I've barely written anything. Not that I'm setting myself any kind of target, but I do like recording down my thoughts, events and significant changes in life. It's for posterity. Right. Haha.

I've been busy. Too many projects coming to a fruition all at the same time. It is good, but that also leaves me very little time for "me". I've embarked on a very new "beginning" in my life. It is the best decision I've ever made, but that also brings about new responsibilities. Still, I'm grasping it firmly in my hands and I'm going to experience and live as fully as I can. Other aspects of my life have started demanding more of my time too. My volunteer work took up almost the whole of last week and will continue to demand dedication until the end of February. So this leaves me with a head that is full of thoughts, and a brain and a soul that has been very stimulated of late.

I want to sort out all that has been happening and make some sense of it. I know I should just live and not contemplate so much, but that isn't me. I guess time will work it's way round everything and I will eventually have some thing meaningful to say about all that's happened. But for now, I shall just flow with the tide and let it take me wherever it chooses...

Smell the change in the air.....

I just got back from my best friend's birthday party.... It was loads of fun. I don't think I had danced this much since.... 2004?

We all stopped for a cup of coffee just before heading home. It was a precautionary step seeing that the police are very vigilant these days about drink driving. I applaud their efforts. It is important and almost necessary to ensure no one gets behind a killing machine drunk or incapacitated.

Just before we got into our cars, we could hear thunder rolling in the distance. A storm was on its way. As I drove home, Edith Piaf's "La Vie En Rose" was playing on the radio, and together with the bellowing gusts of winds howling against my windscreen, and the lovely lightning display accompanied by its majestic thunder, I felt so alive. I got out of the car, and let the rain pelt down on me... Those large rain drops that unceasingly pattered on my body. I breathed in the fresh scent of the new morning dew. I was most reluctant to get back into my car. I walked about 500 meters into the distance, almost wishing that I could just walk forever. It was so fresh, so new. This was a bit of Singapore I am experiencing for the first time.

For the first time I feel almost like I once did in London. I am waiting for some thing to wash my old life away so that I can start afresh. I want to look forward and hope for some thing new... Some thing unexpected... I hope and I can almost feel it... That change in the air, the smell of some thing new.
