Writing is Thinking,

It is more than living,

For it is conscious of living.

A sham false alarm
Just when i thought that having to carry 2 phones wherever i go is bad, i had to lug 3 nokia phones with me for the whole of last week. Whenever the phone rings, you'll see me searching frantically in my bag or pockets for The phone. So here they are.


Personal phone, unfortunately the accessories look better than the phone itself.


Work phone, collecting dust ever since the docs and missys stop calling.


On-call phone. Exactly the same as my personal one. But U see the looming darkness? that's how i differentiate it. Getting called requires the on-call physio to report back in an hour's time outside office hours.

Well, so on that fateful night. I received a call from the dark looming phone... ring ring

me: hello? (thinking*must be the seniors doing their spotcheck)

lady: hello? are u the physio?

me: (*she don't sound like any one of my seniors - panic) yea i am

lady: i'm a nurse from SICU, could you come down to see a patient?

me: (*faintz)

honestly, the experience of getting called down is nerve wrecking cos on-call will only be activated when the situation is critical. But really thank God for seeing the patient and i through and keeping me sane at 2 am.

free spirit
i really love the feeling of just running.. running to nowhere, running to places unknown, discovering new things. Even though it was drizzling this morning, its unbearable to be confined in my house working out on the eliptical. Just as i detests running on a track, cycling on a stationary bike and running on a threadmill. Reminds me of the hamsters i've had. They run so fast on the wheel that spins at the same spot, after a minute or 2 they step off the wheel to look around, check things out, only to find themselves still in the cage. And what do they do next? go back to the same wheel and continue to run, expecting things to change while acting the same way. Its sad. That's why i love to explore, i always bring my ezlink with me while running where my heart leads, where i set my eyes upon, just in case i get lost, the trusty SBS can get me home, unless i don't want to go back...

yes, spontaniety brings a kind of excitement that's lacking in a big part of singaporeans' lives. That's why i always thank God for friends like hoonie and weiie for readily responding to each others' crazy spontaneous ideas that makes my mundane life more interesting.. haha.

Ever wondered why spontaneous acts are appealing? My take on it? Humans are socialised to think, and think and think again before they act. I'm not saying that there is anything bad abt it, in fact, if we act before we think, we may act on negative feelings of anger, jealousy, fear etc and end up sinning. But acting spontaneously shows the true nature (thinking, feeling and behaviour) within a person, who they really are, not what they are socialised to be. Its the quality of genuineness in this whole affair that makes it appealing. the society is full of counterfeit, people yearn for things that are real, true. Maybe that's why reality TV is popular, though i think some parts of reality TV may be scripted for effect.

People need to start to be true to themselves. Or rather, i need to be true to myself and others. Sometimes i find myself trying to do all the right things and when things go wrong, i hide it from all the rest of the world. Its not easy being a christian i confess. It not the part about having faith in God that i'm referring to. I'm talking about the standards that are being put forth on Christians by fellow Christians and even by ourselves. We start becoming legalistic, judgemental to ourselves and others, we forgot that the greatest of all is Love...

They do not truly love who do not show their love.
Shakespeare

On the Topic of Love
    Some ppl have the notion that i'm a complicated person who thinks way too much when it comes to love (yes, i'm talking abt love between man and woman) but how can i not when it involves the life of another. to be honest, the female gender is easily touched by ppl who show them concern, shower them with gifts and undivided attention and so forth. But we can't just go running off with the first man who makes us feel airy fairy, that's selfish, self absorbed and love that is truely blind.

    I've been reading "The 5 love languages". There is a part that addresses the difference between the "in love" experience and truely loving which i thought makes alot of sense.

"Our most basic emotional need is not to fall in love but to be genuinely loved by another, to know a love that grows out of reason and choice, NOT instinct. I need to be loved by someone who CHOOSES to love me, who sees in me something WORTH loving.

This kind of Love requires EFFORT and DISCIPLINE. It is the choice to expend energy in an effort to benefit the other person, knowing that if his or her life is enriched by your effort, you too will find a sense of satisfaction - the satisfaction of having genuinely loved another. It does not require the euphoria of the "in love" experience.

In fact, true love cannot begin until the "in love" experience has run its course..."

        So true love is rational, isn't it?

Incoherence
listening to a CD compiled by an old friend of mine. brings back memories of things that happened 2-3 years ago, it doesn't put a smile on my face, nor does it pains the heart... just a deep deep sense of familiarity revisited after a long time, like getting desensitized to a scent that lingers in the air.. we wouldn't notice it till we leave the room and come back.
it is true that we won't realise the importance of people close to us, until we realise the time we have with them is limited. but sometimes its a real burden to carry such realisation with us everyday knowing that ppl ard us will go away, one by one. most just choose to ignore it, then come back to it sometime and feel sad abt it. everything on earth is perishable, has an expiry date to it, everything is... terminal. its beyond human mind to even start comprehending what eternal means.....
