Reviving Soul's Whispers

And what do you know!... it's been at least a month and a half since this little baby has been left empty... and clueless? Obviously I have failed to fulfil an earlier promise to keep this up to date. I guess I enjoyed my holiday too much that although going online can be counted as one of the must-do's in my everyday life, I was able to forget about it for the longest time!... nope, no temptation to blog away at all. I suppose this can be one proof that I am still no blog addict, not that much attachment yet. See, that's the thing... I find myself mentally refusing to get tied down to a routine if it meant that I will be bothered or hindered in doing other things, or if it would mean that I'll get nagged by a feeling of obligation. When it becomes that way, I will find it a nuisance which of course, I alone would have created for myself. Therefore, it is good this way, I could put aside blogging for however long I would need to, and still easily come back to it with no feeling of guilt. Nope, there shouldn't be any guilt. In the same token, seldom do I think of what I should write. Instead, I write when I feel like writing; I write when something sticks out extraordinarily in my head... or even when I want to just type away things which only make sense to me. Spontaneity is not a bad thing.

So! Picking up from the previous posting... I probably would find it hard the remaining parts of my holiday. It'll only launch me into post-holiday blues... a.k.a. holiday hangover mode. But in a nutshell... after Manila, it's a few days in Taiwan, then a few days in Hong Kong. As usual, food is of abundance... and those who have been to Taiwan would be able to relate with me... ohmygoodness you will never run out of things to try. One note: be adventurous and try everything. Skeptical of stinky tofu before, I had a change of heart after gobbling down an outrageous number of them. Absolutely loved "fan tuan" - sticky rice wrapped around stuffing/filling of shredded pork, veggies, etc. Can't get over fresh soy milk from the local breakfast kiosk, can never get tired of dumplings... ahhh Taiwan rocks... oh the home of the first bubble tea. Mwehehehe!

Alright... knocking back self to reality. It's been two weeks and if I still haven't pulled myself out of cloud nine, then please throw some more work on my desk. Oh well... after all those above, the lesser I appreciated the humid, suffocating heat on the 6 o'clock tram on the way home today. Melbourne summer is relatively better than those of other states, but when it goes to the 30's... or 40 degrees (this coming Sunday!!!) my eyeballs start to look funny.

One thing that keeps me going (there are a lot of things which motivate me okay), but one of them which is more in my mind now... is the prospect of another holiday. Yayyy believe me, one's coming up again soon.

I'll have better, more organised thoughts... hopefully in the coming days. Better get back to watching the Australian Open. =)
