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...

For the past one year since my return from India I have been plotting and thinking and truth to be told that while I was supposed to save up as much as I can muster, I haven't been doing it properly. Since then, there was yet another a bag (or two or three or four) and also some trips in between which are great. Sometimes you just can't plan for things that just happened like trips. I don't regret taking them as anything and any place new is a plus. But to be honest, I have not been doing it properly. And I sometimes get carried away with how things are - I didn't expect all my plans to fall flat on my face, one after another and last weekend was the last straw. I just felt so tired for trying and boy, I have been trying even though I know chances of making things happen are next to zero. I nearly want to just breakdown and cry but I didn't. Instead, I just went shopping and try to forget about trying so hard for just one second.Ok, so the shopping bit isn't e...

There is something about the power of imagination and human mind that is so powerful that it creates idea and images of what can come. Many a times, these creations centres around the idea of how great life would be if only...(fill the blanks with whatever that you want or need at that moment, be it men, clothes, money etc etc) and just dream the hours if not days away. We often dream and think about how things can better when we are stuck in a rut if only we have someone to take us away, literally in a land far far away and dare we hope, live happily ever after. Like it not, no matter how strong or sensible you are, everyone is guilty at one point or another in their life when they imagined the possibilities of being saved by a knight with PR and credit cards. And it doesn't help when things like this actually happened to some people you know or some people that your friend knew and you just couldn't help but wondered why it has yet to land on your lap as well? I mean, hel...

I have no idea what inspired me to make a comeback. Looking back at all the old post. My my my my.....It's been awhile isn't it? Good news is that I can still use the same old template for now. After all Christmas and New Year is coming soon.
