Fall to fly; holding on, letting go
Managing to cancel my driving slot tomorrow has made my life a lot easier.
Daiso is the new place to be. Vivocity is a good chilling spot.
I need to find an eatery with awesome fish beehoon milk soup, and another place with beef kway teow.
Tartan jackets may not be the thing for me, but the idea still appeals.
Next year, I'm going to attempt to work at Zara during the 3 month break, learn more about looking good, and fulfill my own ideal of a good service person.
'There's no point trying to go with the flow if the flow has flown away'. -Famous words of an intoxicated Kader-liberal.
From today's conversation with the Old'ams, I've come to a conclusion on something. Learning to live life skilfully is just like learning to be pro at Dota (I'm sure Kei would sigh in disgust if he read this). Planning, reflection, fruitless attempts at creativity, and hours of painfully ungratifying practice are what is needed before you can internalize everything, take your science, and make it into an art. 'Go with the flow' is something reserved for professionals and talented people, neither of which I am if it comes to the game of life. For some time, a part of me thought that trying to gain more wisdom and planning ahead meant giving up on faith and conviction, but now I see that whether a person is a plotter or a fool has nothing to do with what's in their hearts.
I gave up playing, not really because I wanted to pursue other things, but because I realized that most of the time, it was a form of escape for me. In retrospect, perhaps that's why I never really had the ambition to try and reach for the top. For the past two years, I've slowly started throwing myself into new situations, from cell group and church to expressing resentments or plainly speaking my mind. A lot of the time, all I got was fleeting happiness and painful growing moments, hope kindled and hope dashed.
But going through it all gives me the assurance that neither I nor my life is immutable or unchangeable. The sky these past two weeks has been beautiful and majestic, and looking it at makes me think that I really am a free creature, no matter how trapped I feel at times.
The freedom to make stupid clothing and haircut decisions.
The freedom to eat good food on a whim and to gallivant around a peaceful country.
The freedom to bask in the warmth of a sunny day and just stare at the grand blue sky.
The freedom of having always having a place to go back to.
The freedom to be seen and yet not care who's watching.
The freedom that comes with knowing God is always near whether we know it or not, knowing that to him, being a good person is not as important as just spending time with Him everyday.
