So *dy wasn't there already when I went over. But we were texting when I was there. 

It was good to meet Gus again.. And his friends from Seremban: Calvin and Alvin. A super short trip but super enjoyable for that 2n1d. Seemed like we've covered a lot of places and were hanging around like old old friends (pun intended.. A 50.. 47.. 40 year old ="P).

I actually enjoy this kinda trip and friendships. Surprisingly. <3

Counting down to tmr! Flying off straight after work to Bali to meet the half-centurion for his birthday and *dy! =D 

Dreamt that I was already there last night though.. Hahaha! 

One of my most random trip ever. 2n1d and I'll be back on Sunday afternoon. Izzit worth it? I'll tell you when I'm back! =D

Another very good play by #pangdemonium .. My second play this year: Falling. 

A play about the real life of a child with autism (going into adulthood). And like the previous play.. The actors pulled me into their world for that 11/2 hours - especially Andrew. The actor who played Josh. 

Met and spoke to the mum of Sebastian - Kah Ying and had a glimpse into her life and challenges. And I learnt this term from her:'economy of speech'. Bought a book which she wrote.. Documenting her journey from depression to current. She has also set up a community for kids with autism and their families (A Mother's Wish). 

In cases like these.. It made me all the more thankful for what I have and got me thinking about learning about professional counseling.

It's never easy handling people with autism as it ranges over a wide spectrum and we've only barely scratch the surface of it. 

The first show: The Effect got me thinking. So did this. Sighz. I guess that I was thinking if we are all ever so slightly autistic as well - in our own different ways. 

Ah well. Time to start thinking of the paintings if I wanna get coz he's going with his family on the Tioman weekend. Just asked him if he could get it for me if I really want.

Hahaha! Ok noted! 

Was reading this article (http://www.straitstimes.com/lifestyle/arts/lost-in-books) from The Straits Time and it just connected. 

I used to hate books/reading as a kid. Until the day I was introduced to the short stories books by Enid Blyton by my aunt. I remembered her having a balcony that was converted to a small reading room fake grass carpet and low bookshelves bursting at the seams with books. It was magical. 

Every weekend without fail I would ask my parents to drive us there just so I could loan out those books and lose myself in their worlds. It was like my own personal library. Only after did my parents encourage me to buy my own books (even though they can't read English even to this day).. And I've never stopped. 

From Enid Blyton. I was lost in the worlds of Famous Five.. Secret Seven. Flyaway Tree.. And then I switched authors and started chasing after Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys.. And of course Sweet Valley Twins and Babysistters' Club. 

I used to visit the public libraries when I was still in school coz I had no money to buy my own books. When I started working.. Books lost their charm on me and sadly I abandoned them for years - giving myself the excuse that 'Oh! I'm too busy with work.. No time to read.' 

But one day I just fell in love with Kinokuniya. And it's the outlet at Ngee Ann City. I'm one of those people who can spend hours browsing through the shelves.. Wandering in the different sections. And then finally leaving the place with a hole in my pocket. It was like a sanctuary. And like what the writer said.. It was a place where people whispers and politely says 'excuse me' as we throng the shelves for that book that evades us.

Whenever I'm feeling low.. That's where you'll find me. 

My current 'collection' in the house isn't that big and you'll see I've a good mixture of books and magazines. But the books are mainly new as I can't stand reading books in e-forms. Neither do I like my books with dog-ears and broken spine. 

Books are my world and that's where I'll gladly lose myself. ❤️

Too much differences. Too little initiative. 我累了. </3

Because you only live once. 

So I did the craziest thing ever. I booked tickets for the weekend after. Flying straight after work. And without any checked bags. Just for the weekend. Just for a friend's birthday celebration. 

Single life at its best.
