Walk on by..
Today was my day off from IMF duties, so I hopped on down to Chinatown for lunch with my lovely Chaz. First was yummy sandwiches at Bratwurst Cafe. Then it was on to Mr Teh Tarik for pretty darn good Teh Halia (that's ginger tea for the uninitiated). Such bliss and a treasure trove of photo-worthy finds. Definitely a good day.

A matter of perspective?
Look at anything from another angle long enough and what's hidden may begin to reveal itself. It's the same with people. Sometimes you think you know someone when you actually really don't.Labels: An old life.
Let me count the ways..
Like waking up to warm buttered raisin toast and a steaming mug of tea on a cold autumn morning;Like standing so very still on a tree-lined sidewalk, eyes closed and listening to the whisper of leaves rustling in the cool summer breeze;
Like sharing a smile with a complete stranger;
Like being tucked into bed and kissed gently on the forehead in answer to your murmured goodnights;Like being told you’re beautiful dressed in nothing but your crummiest t-shirt and ripped jeans, with your red and runny nose and flyaway hair;Like finishing each other’s sentences;Like knowing that you’re thinking the same thoughts the minute you look up and catch each other’s eye;Like loving the same books and having your bodies instinctively move to the same music;Like being angry and then forgiving and forgetting it all in a second;There are so many messages of love.Mine just arrived bubble-wrapped in a padded envelope. To tell me that you thought of me, that you know me, that you wish for me joy and dreams and life.I love your gifts.Thank you.Labels: An old life.
Be brave and live!
On Friday, I went to Bangkok and back; A work trip but good fun. We did our surveys and then snuck out to town to do some shopping. The day before, I’d just sent one of my best girlfriends off at the airport. She was going to India for her work trip till September 10th. Yes, we’re full-fledged jet-setting girls now. Sitting in the plane, I thought of the last time I was on a plane somewhere. That was also the last time I took a chance, did what they say about following your heart, thinking only as much as it took me somewhere where I discovered and lived a dream. Thank goodness for me, there lives a beautiful girl in New South Wales, Sydney, who believes in taking random chances just about as much as I do. I am thinking of you and the time we spent together, discovering life, changing, outgrowing our old selves, loving how everything falls into place in this wonderful, inexplicable way. You are still always my inspiration and I love you.Labels: An old life.
