no one ever reads this blog, audibly that is.



Here I am, in 2009, having lived and braved through 20 years of life in Singapore. You might ask, whats there to brave in Singapore anyway? Well, although its true that there are no real hardships living in a nation such as this, as all the basic needs of a human individual from Maslow's 5 laws are met, it only gives the individual room to worry (or at times create) about other things. (I would say more intangible things, things that a person can really do without)

And here I am, seeing many things, but saying but so few. The need to voice out my thoughts has diminished, and I realise that I don't have to be heard on everything. There will be a time when these things need to be said, but most of the time some things don't need to be said at all. Some things are left for myself, for my own knowledge, for my own observation. I don't think its a liability, I do not think that keeping quiet and holding my silence is a sign of weakness, I believe that its just mere constraint and tactfulness.

And we have young ones, filled with energy, bobbing around, jumping about with relentless fervor and drive, with an almost nuclear source of energy to be tapped into for their daily causes. I used to miss that peak of power and speed and efficiency, but now I know what I lacked. I lacked a direction, a clear view, an understanding, something people would define as wisdom, or life experiences.

These experiences made me what I am today. I'm no doubt slower, or perhaps more rigid, but I know that this has made me better, more stable, and a little more wise. Life is a rich journey, life is good, and life is a gift.

However, I will not stop absorbing and learning, learning is a relentless process, and so I am relentless.
