Back

I am finally back from Australia. Actually I got back on Friday. However I am still super tired. I went for a shopping spree with my mum today. It's really crazy, we walked and talked and eat and pick and bought. By evening we were so tired. I could barely walk anymore.

Well, I am suppose to be updating the Symphonia blog now. Or rather that was what I had planned to do. The entries are stuck at day 2 since last night. However, I am really shagged out. No inspiration, no mood. Besides, I just fell sick. I deserve a rest day. :(

Down with a bad sore throat which is getting on my nerves. And all I can hope for now is that I won't lose my voice completely tomorrow when I meet my darling.

Life's been great so far despite the lull period now, I guess. Perth was great. Though not super exciting or anything. However it was refreshing and quite rejuvenating on the whole, I like it. And my final verdict for the trip: I still love Singapore, my very own bed and the tasty local food. *SLURPS*

The girl with the balloon

The little girl stood beside the bench clutching onto the string attached to the balloon ever so tightly. Afraid that even the tiniest movement or the slightest dip in concentration, will send the balloon flying up high above the heavens. When she will have to wail and whine about the lost balloon to her mum, who couldn't do anything much about it. =(

Maybe just maybe, if she had chose to let go of the string, and watch how the balloon gently floats away in the air with glee, she'll be happier.

Isn't life like that in some sense? Sometimes you think it is so rewarding to hold on tight so that no piece of the moment will be lost. And you get so focus about it that you lose track, and you fail to see that sometimes letting go, letting free is a much more meaningful and worthwhile choice.
