good night and good luck

have i come to this? yes i guess it's been pretty imminent for sometime but i dragged my feet so what? this is going to be my last entry on this blog. i have written and captured moments on this cyber space over the years when it seemed popular and when the tough gets going. to put on this facade to the virtual world and say hello to the inner girl. in a way i was just saying out loud what goes on in my mind. decorated of course. rather like the six billion people on facebook. sharing. connecting. every single day. why? no man is an island. and we can't. we needed to belong somewhere. because god doesn't reply or hits the like button. well... i hope what i wrote touches people and reached out. maybe not here but on the other blog. i'll still update there when i do write. but yeah. i know now how to separate the complexities out. good luck you'll feel like it's verbal diarrhea in god's backyard real soon so let's keep the noise level down...

jetlagged

which i didn't know better and am going to suffer for it at work tomorrow =(
this trip i didn't particularly enjoy the solitary moments. i mean it depends.... i am sort of used to it now. the efficiency of getting things done, knowing where and what i want to do, making split decisions in my head on turning left or right and then bearing the responsibility if i turned up horribly lost, deciding the food to eat or even simply when to rest my feet. it's extremely important that i didn't have to go through a second opinion on whatever i want to do in a strange land and end up venturing where i go in the end. maybe it means i am not the most accommodating person. if you ask me i prefer watching the stars on a snowy night or the tides turning at the coastline compared to chilling at a cafe. of course i love my mocha and a good ambience any time. but munich's not like adelaide and mostly i forgot to bring a book. it's difficult to lug a book around when you are trying to cover the city in almost 24 hrs.
i'm not sure myself. something's changed perhaps. i'm not in the best form where i think i should be. i hate that there are biological clocks ticking away in the background. it's making me iffy and feeling all fluffy. whereas in the past i would have let my hair down and calmly lounge back in a philip starck chair and appreciate the world passing me by. instead i gripe at the coffee and my tired body and the time left on my watch. i can't appreciate the ennui no more nor find the self-deprecating humour. 
it dawned on me recently that we are surrounded by the material things which we lust after and worthless genuine things which we can't make sense of. the tangible substantial items we try so hard to attain and the most meaningful most important stuff we stand still. correction i mean it occurred to me suddenly that life goes on with all things ephemeral. I thought i understood this old familiarity and what i am suppose to do with such comprehension. i mean are we living such a pseudo life? where do i exist in the real world if resistance is futile? have i forgotten something? yeah to switch off the lights....i endeavour to make some changes by year end ;) hopefully. and i should turn in soon.
