Love is an emotion that lies. More often than not, when you are engulfed in a feeling so intense and fervent, you actually start to believe you are in love. And usually after it is over, you realised that they are nothing more than just lust, crush or plain infatuation.
Understanding that now, I know I will be able to go into another relationship a more equable person. Not very romantic I know, but it allows me to be at the helm of who I am. And I do very much prefer it that way. Call me hard-headed but I don't like to be held in a situation which I do not have the control over, and that includes this thing called "Love".
Yes, there is nothing like "Love" to have your serotonin levels raised, heart set aflutter and make you feel oh-so-sexy and loved. But then, there is nothing like it either, to bring the demons out of you. Jealousy. Possessiveness. Suspicion. Emotions which I abhor. Feelings which I loathe. Fiery passions equipped with lots of tantrums, tears and screams are not exactly my cup of tea, so pardon me if I rather pursue a path that is a little less upheaval and traumatic.
So, a more pragmatic love anyone? Yes, please...

The Da Vinci Code...
No, no... I'm not going to wax lyrical about how exceptional the book is. It is a pretty good read which I finished in less than a day. The writer, Dan Brown provides some delightful clues to engross the readers to participate in the quest of the infamous 'Holy Grail'. The peek-a-boo clues allow the average readers like me to unravel most of the riddles with Robert Langdon (the character) without having to crack our heads too much.
Dan Brown has put together some fun challenges in his 'The Da Vinci Code' website for his readers to solve, which aren't hard at all if you have the book with you. I can shamelessly say I managed to complete it in one sitting without breaking into cold sweat, of which I must say to dear Mr Dan Brown, "You are way too kind to us readers..."

Oh, older me...
Ah yes, I ain't that much of a faithful lover when it comes to blogging. It has been a couple of months plus since I was last here.
Nothing much has changed of course. My work still drives me loco. Taking so much out of me, that every so often I wonder if there is anymore of me left for me? Thank goodness tomorrow is Good Friday and finally, some time for me to breathe.
I had my short hair snipped to an even shorter, boyish do. It helps to fend off some unwelcome suitors, especially at this nonce when I just want to be left alone. I am happy where I am now. Being single and thoroughly enjoying my own space. Well, I wished I have more though. More for me to do the things I love - reading, writing, travelling (or even sleeping)... I have come to appreciate this 'alone' stage by myself, something which I had never realised I would before. Somehow, being older allows me to have a more carefree outlook than ever before and the room for my confidence to grow.
In short, I love being older.
P.S. Minus all that lines and greys that is.

For my dear sister...
It's a brand new year. I'm not sure if I should start it off by saying something intelligent or just go ahead and list my New Year resolutions. However, resolutions don't work for me because I never came around to fulfil them, so I won't even bother.
The only thing I want to say, in this brand new year, is "Thank God so very much." My dear sister came home from Thailand just a few days before the tsunami tragedy struck. I'm so glad she didn't opt to spend a few more days at the beach, or that the tsunami hadn't afflicted earlier. You have no idea how grateful I am.
Watching the news about the tragedy on the television made me realised how close I came to losing my dear sister. I wrote her a card that very night and told her how thankful I am that she is back home safely to spend Christmas with us.
So once again, thank you for bringing my sister back home and most of all, safely. Happy New Year.

Release...
I did some changes to my blog, deleted some posts here and there. And together with those posts, I effaced away the pain which was beleaguering me. I came out of it a much stronger person than I surmise I would be. I guess it is true when they say, "What won't kills you, will only makes you stronger."
So, did I become stronger because I have learnt from my experiences? Or have the pain anaesthetised my senses, froze my heart and made me colder? Maybe it was both... Still it is a good thing that I am finally able to let go of the desolation I was feeling. Becoming immunised to heartaches or not, I did come out of this a much stronger person.

A breather...
It has been two months since I last touched my blog. My work took me away from more than I can bargain for. Two months flew past like it was just yesterday. Oh yes, I managed to squeeze in an off day today, so I just want to sleep myself silly and throw in some time to do my favourite writing (or typing for that matter).

Quiet night, lonely me...
On nights like this, loneliness calls upon me. Not even glasses of red wine can lay the greatly perturbed me to sleep.
If I breathe a little bit harder, could all this fresh air of the night clears my troubled mind? Could it actually clears my troubled soul? If I hold my breath a little bit harder, would I actually stop breathing? If... I love a little bit harder, would I actually stop hurting?
What's this despondency gnawing at me? Ramblings of an alcohol-influenced me. Oh, ignore me...

Singing Sunday Morning...
It is a beautiful Sunday morning today. A day this charming, not even my earlier nightmarish episode can spoilt. I put on Maroon 5's CD, and chose their "Sunday Morning" to start off this wonderful day. A cheery song to make this day a whole lot more delightful...
Tears, I refused...
"6.46AM" the time on my laptop showed. Woken up by a nightmare, I felt too perturbed to go back to dreamland, especially when it was having fun tormenting me just awhile ago.
All I want to do is to be happy. I put my troubles aside and tried my best to get on with my life. I don't want to spend my time languishing for something I could never have. I'm dealing with it very well I must say, except when nightmares dropped in on me during those quiet nights that is.
Maybe it's my Hyde who was beleaguering me. Maybe it's my guilt and conscience which had descried me. My nightmares plagued me about the wrong choices I had made. My nightmares revealed the consequences which I dreaded. My nightmares betrayed the pain that I'm feeling. My consciousness and sub-consciousness ganging up on me, tearing my wound apart, in all full bloody gory for me to see.
They all danced around me, taunting me, trying to make me cry the tears I refused to shed. And I still refuse to. I refuse to breakdown and cry, and show the pain that I bear.
I refuse to, because I'm stronger than they think.

Not quite the naked truth...
Maybe I'm not writing/typing as much as I loved to, but sometimes it's just hard to do it when I'm not inspired to do so. I have no literary talents. So without inspiration, I'm just a blank page. Of course, not that the things I wrote are any good, but like I said before, they are very me.
I preferred to compose things which I really have feelings for. My posts tell stuffs which are, well, just me. They are bits and pieces about how I feel, my thoughts, my life, my love, my happiness, my sadness... Everything about who I am.
Call me diffident, but I don't really like to blatantly spell out my personal life in all naked truths, which is why I write my posts the way I did in "To: The Amnestic Me..." But there are times when things get rough and I really need a personal space to vent and maybe delete it later when I realised it's too baring. And so this blog was borne...

Another amnestic me...
So, I'm earmarking my other blog - "To: The Amnestic Me..." for all the weird and insipid stuff which I love to write about. And this blog, for the occasional maunderings I like to pour out. I love to write. I penned lots of stuff which are probably moonshine to others. Still, they are very me...
And from my posts on my other blog, you will probably figure out a bit of me. Love the rains. Love night time. Love to laze around. Can't resist jazz. Kind of idiosyncratic. Sort of a fantasist. And... You ascertain the rest from my past and future posts.
