city lights

Melt into the dazzle of lights and ceaseless traffic.
Feel the pulse but from a detached position.
Be intoxicated most importantly - by the restless city that goes on even when you fall and tear away from the ceaseless lights and dazzle of traffic.

Wish List

Time to indulge in a wish list. Things I yearn, though not necessarily in that order (but you are not supposed to believe this).

1) Macbook
2) VACATION
2) DSLR Camera
3) I-Phone
5) Coffee Weekends
6) Beach/Island Getaway
7) Run
8) Swim
9) SLEEP
10) Read my books and Magazines
11) Lomo Camera
12) Work Overseas
13) More Money, Get Richer!
14) Retire and enjoy life (obviously)

I did say it's a wish list. One therefore wishes for anything under the sky, otherwise why have a wish list.

"...when we're still young"

Now and then, I may receive an sms from Ms K that would draw an instant smile from me. She's got these quotable sms-es that are short but which are either delivered with a witty touch or they convey certain genuine truths, breezily.

"Ey are you up for yakitori shunjuu this weekend? SX and i in office thinking about how to get a life"

I so laughed at this when I saw it, and promptly read it to my colleague. It was a Friday evening.

"Ya. we are a bit nuts. But might as well play when we're still young."

This, after I declined to join her and others for a late night session of games, because I needed early sleep! But how true it was, that we'd better do the things we could while we are, relatively speaking, still young.

I have to say, the K siblings have this almost inherited insouciant and breezy attitude that charms and makes you smile. You just need to hang out with them and hear them speak to feel it.

The other day when I was with Ms K, Deb - her sis - and friends, Deb looked at her very exhausted friend and said:

"You slept at 6(am) and woke up at 10(am) - But that's the life of a happening person."

This, delivered in the right pitch and level of excitement (not much, but just right) that only the K sisters are capable of conveying. And I mean this as a compliment.
