I need...

I need to run a spot check over my fears and splash it with a pail of cold water.
I need to carbon copy my memories of Adelaide and zip lock it in my heart.
I need to send my brain to detention and make it write out "one thought at a time" for 1000 times on the chalkboard.
I need to "always anticipate abundance", says the $900 seminar man.
I need to stick a cork up the tear pipe and keep the waterworks from happening, and only release it when the thick fog of reality starts to infiltrate my moment.
I need to sleep.

revamp

“Jez, u’ve not been updating ur blog” says my friends conveniently.
“Oh yea… I have a blog site! How could I forget…” says my brain nonchalantly.

So here I am, apologizing for the silence. Also apologizing not for the amazingly busy and eventful few months I had previously, but for the obligation to let some of my thoughts out into cyber space and possibly avoiding the above conversation in real life.

With not many days left in Adelaide, I’ve been savoring every last bit of everything of every moment. Just yesterday, while driving from Life FM back to Su Ling’s place (45mins drive), the orange engine light came on at the 40th min. I thought I could make it back to the house to check the problem, but at the 44th min, the car decided to die on me, while I was about to turn into Ashbrook Avenue. So at the crazily busy junction, I popped my hazard lights on, praying hard that cars coming from both directions will not smash me and UZY into pieces.

I called Su Ling for help. Thank God she was at home. A lady crossed the inhumane road to offer help. She was so cool. She looks a bit like Corinne Bailey Rae hidden behind huge shades. Another lady stopped her car and came to help as well. I savored the scenario of 3 girls (2 of them are totally strangers) pushed a car (I steered) pass two lanes at rush hour, up a small slope, into the lane I was supposed to turn into.

As they were pushing, I peeked at the rear end mirror and saw 3 girls laughing and bopping up and down as they pushed the dead car. I can’t help but smile and thank God for kind road users who saved me from the ferocious traffic.

There’s so much more to treasure and smile upon. But I think for now… I need to turn off my computer. It’s gonna die on me soon, too!

Oh by the way… I do not know what’s going on with the borders of my blog page…. Need revamp!
