awake

Alright, alright, alright. I know I went MIA again after my last post. Cut me some slack, I'm still not used to blogging again. After all, it's been a few months now if not years since I last blog regularly. 

What's new? Well, it's the long awaited Easter break. I have done nothing much so far - started on sorting out my iTunes so now they're all neatly organised by albums and all albums have a decent cover art. Also found some awesome Japanese albums here. See, I'm kind enough to share. It's a pretty awesome site with direct download links to full albums. Mainly Japanese, but there are a few English ones too. 

Work has been ho-hum. Great on the financial side but not very creatively stimulating, but hey I have had this discussion so many times before so no surprises there. It pays the bill, that's most of the people in the company (including myself now) say. It's good in a way that it does not affect much of my personal life - I suppose that's a good thing. 

Since I am now totally hyped up for the FutureBrand Future Talent Competition it's definitely a good thing as the lack of challenge at work allow me to focus most (if not all) of my attention to preparing for my entry. Not hyperlinking there as I don't want more competition, but if you're keen google ahead. Please don't be too keen. Keen is not cool. Go and download that latest episode of How I Met Your Mother instead. 

In saying that, I have found myself awake and not able to sleep for a number of nights now. Ideas and questions kept flowing through my mind and at last I got myself to start on the initial brainstorming session an hour ago. There is SO MUCH to do. So much research, so much preparation... it freaked me out in a way. But there's only one way to go about it...ahead fullspeed.

What else? I miss my friends. Yeah, that entails all of you in Malaysia and Singapore. And New York. Tomorrow (or should I say, in the next couple of hours) I will be going to Wilson Promontory with Gav and his friends. Which is cool, they're all great fun people to be with. But it's a different feel when you're with your own group, and I'm sure most of you understand what I mean when I say that.

There's that stupid inside jokes that really makes no sense but can reduce everyone to hysterical fits. There's that gossip about old friends, crushes and bitching on nasty ex-es. There's that deep and thought-provoking conversation about life in general and where we want to be eventually, which line of work and which industry. Or another nostalgic session where we would reminisce about the past, our uni days and how we'd like to turn back to that one particular timeless moment. 

Yeah, I miss you guys. And this becomes particularly obvious when I start to sigh out loud regularly. I've been doing a lot of that lately.

Until our next reunion...until then, I wish you all well.
