Sometimes I think I underestimate the real importance of pausing. It's finding the inertia to stop, not just slow down, and take a breather.
Not to flood silences with overly-bright words because some silences are meant to be empty.
To listen because sometimes, the sound of silence is deafening.
I realised I didn't accomplish my dream of slacking at the beach with a fruit punch in hand, enjoying the ocean and its vastness, letting the story of my life fade into the salty air.
But I did enjoy other activities, especially the sea activities! Snorkelling is super fun! Wish I could have done more though. And the shopping was not bad :) I guess for all that happened there, it was a profound experience of dealing with new situations. And for ah ma and me at least, bargaining has gone to a unprecedented new level which involves mangoes and pulling of shirts :P
Right now, I'm suffering the effects of bad sunburn aka shedding, which comes out randomly in big patches or tiny flakes. Somehow I wish there are things about me that I can peel off too :p but I quote my great econs tcher in saying "perfect is an ideal and ideals can nv be achieved". Blehhhhh
I'm listening to the sounds of words playing in my head.
