rebirth

i'm back from my much-needed holiday.

as my plane descended this evening, and the london landscape progressively zoomed in, i felt mixed feelings. a sense of home-coming, but even more so, a sense of dread.

during my break, i began feeling once more, and thoughts and dreams that have buried surfaced again. i felt liberated. both joyous and sad. above all, hope.

unfortunately, london is inextricably associated with work, repression, and denial of life.

i have so many stories to tell, so much i want to share. i want to capture and share my joy, the vivacity and love of life that i have with me right now, in the immediate wake of my time-out, before work casts its shroud over me once more.

alas, i have to work tomorrow!

a quick note to say:
1) i've brought a new desktop all the way from malaysia. and i'm really proud of myself for having managed to put all the moving bits together. am now typing on my wonderful keyboard and looking at my sexy 15" flat screen. *slurps*

2) loads and loads of shopping: malaysia, singapore, vietnam. not always a bad thing, i must say.outdoors, hiking etc, or that i'm very tomboyish and rough. imagine that! and even my shopping am dizzyingly euphoric from it.


3) more girly? i met a bunch of people who actually thought i was a total girly girl (in fact, i swear the guys thought i was a bit of a princess really!), and refuse to believe that i: like has turned so girly. although kev still says that i'm not a girl. haha. it's pretty cool actually, cos it means that effort at training/learning to be girly is paying off, and i'll be able to switch back and forth seamlessly soon! hurrah!!
