I am Thompson Boy

Experiences in life changes the way you look at life. It could be after the death of a loved one, having your heart broken, seeing your child for the first time or even experiencing a new place. And that is the beauty of living. I find it so easy to be extra philosophical about life when I travel, which is another reason why I love travelling. It used to be very much what sites I want to see, what can I buy (yes I still buy them and I relish the little bits and pieces that I've collected from all over the world)but these days, it's a little more than that. I suppose when we travel, we can afford to look at life from a macro point of view or in layman term, bigger picture. Our daily lives and routines trap us into going with the flow and not seeing the whole thing in totality. Are we doing it right? Is this the way it should be? No..and instead we are just doing things for the sake of doing. Travel pulls us out from the bubble and forces us to take time, away from our situat...

Don't believe life would be called life if it's easy to live through. While on paper it seems like I have everything and I do have alot and I am thankful for it but I can't escape the cosmic cycle of torture that will visit everyone once in awhile. One simply just cannot escape unhappiness nor trouble. Even if you choose to give up everything and anything, trouble will still seek you. So then I am having a tough time at work (plus very very busy of late), something which I've never really encountered for the longest time, there's bit and pieces that are also from personal life at home and then there's some unhappiness in here and there but I have decided not to talk about it, as torturous it may be. I have since learnt that even when my back windscreen broke, it is not something that I would want to share with the world for pity or for attention like I used to (just my friends as FYI and also work since I have to be off work to get it fixed) as it all seem and...

I wondered if being down and depressed is a disease because I am feeling like. Don't think it has anything to do with my red eye or medication but rather things around me. No I won't get affected, I refused to get affected. Oh Lord, so many things on my mind yet none of them I would like to talk about or shared. Maybe it's overshared. Maybe I am just tired. Maybe I think Raju is overrated and the best is still Kanna. Maybe I don't really care about anything and just want time to pass from now till next year. Maybe I fear the change that is coming - either I leave right now or I have to make do with many discomfort. But most of all, I must do with and making it WERQ with lots of money. As you would know by now, I am not easy to maintain. Also, I am sick of this weather. Bring back the sun and the happy days. I really wished for those simple happy days. And I am not excited over Christmas yet. Maybe I should get a new pair of glasses. I know all these doesn't make sen...

Cause whoring myself to work. Unhappy. Sick. Cough. Sigh.

You know, people have many reasons to write. Some did it to express themselves, some did it because they are free and some just to find an escape even for a few minutes from the state that they were in. I wrote because of all the mentioned reasons and then more. But lately, I am neither any of the above. Sure, the people who have popular blogs have a day job just like anybody else and still manages to update them so what makes me busier or greater than them just because of my fabulous advertising job? Or how about escapism? I cannot sit here and say that everything is fabulous as no one in this world can claim that they are 100% perfect and happy that little things like shopping or bag addiction don’t even exist. So what can I say then? I might be able to start off by complaining and asking why people leave a place that they are happy with for reasons and believe me that there are always reasons and for a place that doesn’t seem to be appealing at the first place. I mean if you are...
