Little Frolick

The aim of life is to live and to live means to be aware, joyously, drunkenly, serenely, divinely aware. - Henry Miller.

something borrowed, something blue

no, the wedding bells aren't ringing.

i had a chat with one of my patients today who was flying back to London where her husband works on the topic of marrying foreigners. many singaporean women find it hard to settle to being away from home without social support - especially after having a baby. it's hard to put myself in those hypothetical shoes as i can't even imagine myself walking down the aisle without tripping and ripping something.

we started talking about my boy and i told her that unlike me, he thought that it is a good idea to get married and have children (in general) while i feel that having children would mark the death of one's personal life and privacy. my patient said that it's extremely rare to find a guy who would consider starting a family so i was lucky. and it's also a good idea to have your children before the age of 30 - the body just doesnt cope so well after.

very true.

but that means i've got about 3 years more to go before i decide if i wanna have children or not, and if i wanna get married or not as well.

darn.

 

why can't i make the more important life decisions later in life? i make all the shite decisions for myself when i am young and ridiculous, and when i am older and hopefully wiser i'll just end up making decisions for other people like my yet unborn children. geez.

bond ends 2010.

wanna get married before i'm 30.

means getting married in singapore.

UGH.

perhaps i'll do better on my own - and be that intrepid traveller and world wanderer that i've always dreamed of being? and what happens then, when i am done travelling? would i have someone to go home to?

As soon as you sound like him
Give me a call
When you're so sensitive
Its a long way to fall

Whenever you need a home
I will be there
Whenever you're all alone
And nobody cares

You're just a poor misguided fool
Who thinks they know what I should do
A line for me and a line for you
I lose my right to a point of view

Whenever you reach for me
I'll be your guide
Whenever you need someone
To keep it inside

Whenever you need a home
I will be there
Whenever you're all alone
And nobody cares

You're just a poor misguided fool
Who thinks they know what I should do
A line for me and a line for you
I lose my right to a point of view

I'll be your guide in the morning
You cover up bullet holes

(Break)

As soon as you sound like him
Give me a call
When you're so sensitive
Its a long way to fall

You're just a poor misguided fool
Who thinks they know what I should do
A line for me and a line for you
I lose my right to a point of view

Talk : Listen : Feel

Sittin' on my own
Chewin' on a bone
A thousand million
Miles from home
When Something hit me
Somewhere right between the eyes

Sleepin' on a plane
You know you can't complain
You took your last chance
Once again
I landed, stranded
Hardly even knew your name

I wanna talk tonight
Until the mornin' light
'Bout how you saved my life
You and me see how we are
You and me see how we are

All your dreams are made
Of Strawberry lemonade
And you make sure
I eat today
You take me walking
To where you played
When you were young

I'll never say that I
Won't ever make you cry
And this I'll say
I don't know why
I know I'm leavin'
But I'll be back another day

I wanna talk tonight
Until the mornin' light
'Bout how you saved my life
(You saved my life)
I wanna talk tonight
(I wanna talk tonight)
'Bout how you saved my life
(I wanna talk tonight)
'Bout how you saved my life
(I wanna talk tonight)
'Bout how you saved my life
(I wanna talk tonight)
'Bout how you saved my life

I wanna talk tonight
