Valentine's Day

It's that time of the year again, when the service industry scrambles to compete for the dollars that lovers and couples will spend to create romantic memories.

My wife and I, in contrast, will be spending a quiet day at work, followed by dinner at home.

Celebrating Valentine's Day in Singapore is an expensive and troublesome affair. This is a great opportunity for the various vendors and providers of services to jack up prices to astronomical levels.

Although a gift is a form of expression of love, I feel that it is important to remember that love encompasses much much more.

We should not forgot that more often than not, it's the simple things in life that gives us much meaningful pleasure.

To Articulate

I can feel time drifting slowly towards wherever it is headed, as I sit in front of my computer, composing this entry out of the chaotic tangle of ideas at the back of my mind.

There are too many things I would like to write about, too many reactions to the everyday comings and goings of the world, of Singapore, that I would like to express, but finding it hard to do so.

I wonder at how easy it is for other people to put into words events and feelings that I find hard to articulate.

After three paragraphs, nothing concrete.

It's not that I'm not good at writing. It's just that I'm lousy at writing about what I feel.
Stories, arguments, sentences flashes at the back of my mind, but what comes out always leave me disappointed.

I guess I think too much.
In the future, I will try to think less and do more.

First Jump

This is my first jump onto the rapidly crowding blogging train.

I've resisted the urge to expose my feelings and thoughts and dread the sharing of my innermost self.

With this first post, I hoped to start a journey into my own mind, imprinting bits and pieces of my ideas and musings from their fleeting materialisation, so that I can replay my life journey from this time forth.

This blog is more for my own experience and collection, but anyone of you readers are free to condemn the darker side of me, or give me a slap on my back.

I aim to be as honest to myself as I can be.
