I am Thompson Boy

So this has come around again, the year end review. Many of us are probably busy running around, taking leaves and clearing work for the year ahead. I used to like being away from work at this time of the year but quickly realised that this is actually the best time to be at work because there's not much work to be done. Hahaha. The best time to be away is when there's work, no? Like it or not - its the usual parties, presents, drinks, rainy season and while it's the same old, I am not complaining. I don't believe there's such thing as a bad year - probably some bad moments here and there and its for us to make the best out of it. The year started off with me making plans but like everything else, sometimes you can only plan. But the best bit about thing is that as cliche as it sounds, when one door closes, another opens. I finally realised that nothing is impossible, seeing the world is not as expensive as it seems and if I want something bad enough, it can be...

Misunderstood? I don't think so. Trying to justify and give phone addicts a reason to be more anti social. Please, capturing the moments my ass! I have seen so many people who were so engrossed in capturing millions of pictures during travel that they forget to live and enjoy the real moment happening in front of them. Whats the point of trying to relive them through a screen? Not to mention them spoiling it for others with that damn flash and clicks. I have the luxury of sitting next to an annoying woman who rotates between her compact camera and DSLR during a performance. I hoped she will enjoy watching the whole show (finally) at home when she could just get the DVD. Note: And it seems like I am not alone - http://gizmodo.com/seriously-enough-with-this-apple-holiday-ad-1485051176

In case you didn't know, my new fav place to read is now Medium.com. What is Medium, you asked? Medium is a blog publishing platform. It was founded by Twitter co-founders Evan Williams and Biz Stone in August 2012.  Williams and Stone decided to write the platform software from the ground up, with the idea of encouraging existing Twitter users to create longer posts than the 140-character standard of that service. - Wikipedia Go on, try it. Read what others have to say about everything in life - the writings are sorted in collections and it's nice to read about some POVs that are more important than an interview with stupid playboy (so she claimed to fame to be) model wearing a hijab. I have also started publishing on Medium. Yes, thats a big word but one have to start and try somewhere right? I don't fancy myself as a proper writer. Just someone with a story to share and tell.
