Reflections

I haven't written a sentimental post for quite some time. In between arguing passionately in court, rushing through the daily grind and welcoming a very important person to cat city, this blog has become somewhat redundant- save for a couple of makeshift updates with pathetic photos.

I sent my nano novel to Archangel for his perusal. Yes, the novel which didn't quite make it to stardom. Written hastily in a month, I dreamt that it would make me the JK Rowling of Sarawak. Of course, coming back to reality, it never happened.

Reading through the outrageous stuff that I wrote, I realised the myriad and complexity of emotions I was going through during the months of September to November 2005. Work wasn't exactly satisfying, and my personal life was hanging on a thread. Under such circumstances, I really couldn't blame myself for coming up with such an outrageous plot for my story.

Couple of months down the road, reading the draft just somehow made me laugh. The people whom I depicted in the story now do not matter anymore. The plots and the storyline do not exhillirate me.

So, I ask myself... what am I going to do with the 40k plus worth of junk which I so laboriously wrote back in the crazy month of November 2005?

I do not know. :)

Hi DJ,
Yup, things are looking much better now, thank goodness. :)

Archangel,
I'll have to rely on your ideas for those spicy twists and turns. Heheheh

Finish it and of course re-edit some parts! :) Now that you are no longer emotionally confused, so many twists and turns you can add to the novel.

Right... four years exactly into working life and suddenly I found the urgent need to ramble about my not so interesting life...here goes:

I am:
Liberal and radical on paper only. This is the basic description I would give myself. I am a good listener and usually offer sensible advice. If I don't sound like myself, its must be my evil twin at work :P

I am passionate about:
Music and Arts. Can't imagine what this world would be like without these two essential elements.

When I'm not working my head off I like:
Meeting new people from all walks of life and listening to their life experiences. I take things with an open mind (albeit not completely Zen like) and always remind myself not to take anything in life for granted.
And I wish:
All my friends, my family and everybody else who will somehow cross paths with me, a fulfulling life, in terms of work and relationships. And remember, you only live once. So make the best out of it. :)
