Some random thoughts

Seems like the Straits Times is no longer free. Damn ... why must it always be about money? What happened to the concept of free news? They don't subscribe to that.

Feeling bored ... just went out to get a milk tea. Ate some fried chicken. That's it. Nothing much tonight. Haven't been very active lately. More recently, I have been thinking a lot about my past, present and future. Something I claim to be self-reflection. Just like the Java Reflection API, well, somewhat like that.

Anyway, I thought about my past in Southeast Asia. How I grew up, my carefree days ... those times when I used to wander around or take a jaunt around the good old town of Malacca. I remember those sunsets ... when I used to ride aimlessly through the village behind my house to take Malay lessons under Mr Omar. I definitely missed those moments. I wished I could be trapped at that time and space, for those were very happy times and more importantly, stress free for me. Hmmm ... sounds like escapism to me.

Honestly, I do enjoy my life in San Francisco. In retrospect, I can't imagine the interesting trails and routes I have taken, twists and turns, to arrive at this juncture. It seems to me for now that I am starting to think again. To think of what my next steps will be and where they will take me to. *sigh* ... I don't want to think so much. For the rest of tonight, I am just going to let time pass.
