there has been a whirlpool of stuff going through my head lately, and i think i might just self-combust any time soon.

i just discovered one more thing which i truly miss about living in the UK: being able to watch champions league matches live at waking hours.
and there's no one here who i can watch arsenal or discuss soccer with =(

we'll always have london
once in a while i still think about walking down covent garden and doing groceries at chinatown. i imagine myself shopping along oxford street, and having high tea with friends at little cafes tucked away in a small corner. i wonder what's the current talk on the london paper, probably about rich investment bankers not being able to party anymore. and strangely, i kinda miss squeezing up the overpacked tube during peak hours, while being amused by the funny annoucements that the tube operators make. i guess the novelty of london still lingers.
in my memory,
london is sunny and welcoming.
and it shall stay this way.

its a saturday afternoon, but my mind has been on that email draft which i've saved before leaving the office yday evening. im starting to wonder if i would eventually become a workaholic, and i fear that one day my life would be totally consumed by work, and slowly i will forget how to socialise.
transitions are always painful.
and during this period,
we always find ourselves asking,
is this really worth it?

im pretty much settled into singapore, and over the last 2 months i've got down to doing quite a bit of thinking. afterall, my five-year plan had already expired, and now it's perhaps the time to make a new one. the last 10 years have gone by rather quickly, and i dare say that i've already accomplished the ultimate goal that i had set for myself since i was 12, even though the path to it may not have been 'as planned'.
this time round, i've much more things to consider about when setting my new goal. for a start, i'll probably have to bear all financial costs. (if you havent already realised, money is always involved) also, i'm now matured enough to realise that whatever i do, i should always think about those others, esp those closest to me. so in other words, it means i can no longer be selfish as before.
well, i guess one of the most important lessons which life has taught me is that, things need not always have to go as planned, in order to succeed and achieve greater heights, we should always learn to be flexible and take whatever crap that comes along in our stride. afterall, things dont always happen the way we want them to be.
so for now, i'll probably just hold on to my dreams and work out the plans along the way. besides, what's the point of fixing the route if im not going to stick to it?
