The aim of life is to live and to live means to be aware, joyously, drunkenly, serenely, divinely aware. - Henry Miller.
Being yourself what does that mean
Seeing yourself is the hardest thing
Being yourself is a lonely thing
If you never pick it up and just let it ring

yeaps i'm at work on a sunday - while you are probably out having that nice leisurely brunch by the road, or rolling out of bed wiping down your sleepy eyes. the hospital never sleeps. and i work. it's a pretty busy sunday too, i usually am able to leave the hospital by mid-day, but not a chance in hell today. i still have 9 more patients to see. oh well.
we managed to paint my apartment the other day! a nice vanilla cream in the living room with a bright yellow/rusty orange wall - calliope - kinda goldish like the muse i suppose. beautiful. there's still the bedroom to be painted, that'll be something plumish or dusty rose. then the billowy white curtains will go up and the bookshelves should come and i'll be cosy and comfy in my tiny apartment across the street from here. nice. i can't wait. i even got myself that stereo i was eyeing, and finally i have some space i can call my own. living in my parents' house was claustraphobic to say the least, and there's really no price tag to put on that thing called peace and quiet! ahhh....
it's done a whole big lot to my mental state! i am actually happier and lighter footed now. amazing how a small change does so much.

Happy Vesak Day! I'm not Buddhist but it's a good thing Buddha's birthday. I've not had a long weekend in a while in spite of the public holidays that have been falling on fridays and mondays. i have no idea why, but the department likes to put me down for duty on the weekends of the long weekends. maybe they don't like me. well, i certainly have to say that i dont really like them that much either too.
anyway, there are a few plans for today. PAINT is one of them, get a STEREO is one of them, then lazing it away at Colbar is the last of them. Let's hope it's open today.
So it's time for an adventure, it's time for some fun. *bang bang* a knock on the heart, open up damnit open up! i'm tired of being afraid, i'm tired of worrying if i'll never find a true love, i'm sick of searching in the same old wrong mistaken places.
i'm going to make my apartment my favourite place to hide, my own piece of solace on this crazy isle. no matter how small, how old, how crappy that place is, it's mine for now. so what if society here gives everything a huge price tag, i'm gonna be ok.
found someone to go to Vietnam with in June! yay! a little last minute but it's ok. i've just been fleeced by Tiger Airways - due to bad planning on my part and also my department's; at least i'm still going somewhere!
