I've been back in Singapore for like almost 2 weeks but haven't actually initiated any meetups with those who deserve presents. It's not that I'm bochup, or I wouldn't have bother getting anything at all for friends but it's just that I've been feeling so sluggish ever since I got back. The gifts are all in a pack, with the pack collecting dust.
Well, this evening, I'm going to meet up with one of them and that's only because I owe her her birthday present too, which is like 2 months late hahaha. Anyway looking forward to the meet up and the steamboat too. Something to look forward to after work is good for the soul and does wonders for one's sanity.
I think I might have post- holiday depression. ''-_-
Someone actually asked me, 'Why is it that everything you go somewhere and come back, you will tell me that you didn't feel like coming back?'
Didn't think about this until he raised this question, which actually sounded very accusing. Haha...
Ok, to justify the above, let me tell you.
1) I have an itchy butt. I like to see new things and I like to go to new places.
2) Each time when I go to a new place (a nice big country), I feel that I'm missing out on so much in life by being holed up on this tiny island. It's a big and beautiful place out there that you cannot imagine. Reading and watching these places on TV do not do justice to the places AT ALL. Take for instance, the Grand Canyon. Both the view from the top as well as the view from the bottom are simply amazing. During rare times like these, I would actually feel in awe of Nature's artworks and yet at the same time, I feel small. Small not as in insignificant but small as in many things in life that are troubling, do not matter (much..)at least in that instance. And I feel grateful for the chance to look at it and share the experience with my family.
3) Going around with my camera and shooting stuff which might seem very minute makes me feel appreciative of them. It's as if I could for that instant, immense myself in that situation, that person, object and/or scenery.
4) Soaking up the culture and experiencing the lifestyle makes me feel rich in a non-materialistic way.
