Released from the dungeon

I find myself free from most of the anxieties that bound me for the past X number of months. The angst has probably left me although there is that slightest tinge of doubt. I've walked through the remnants of things I was once so attached to. There was hardly anything that triggered any form of emotion. Such marks a journey towards the end if not the end itself.

A friend asked me why I decided to base myself at Hillsong instead of Wesley. I found it hard to articulate my abstract thoughts. He went on to narrating other friends' sides to the story which brough him to expressing about how the fellows in the ship are merely in a venue to find their other halves. My friend's further inquiry led to the conclusion that the 'society' is encouraging such partnerships and anything that might lead to such.

In my opinion, that should not be a main objective. Perhaps it is an underlying one. However, hearing that made me lean more towards my current decision.

It's a Friday thing to be sick. It was my birthday but with all the invisible and inapparent care in the world, I decided to let my laziness take over and so I decided to stay home the whole day where I did something semi-productive.

Still went out for dinner though. There was food, drinks, lotsa friends and all. Thinking back, it was such a contrast from last year in a sense probably only obvious to my eyes and to those who knew me best. However it was a nice celebration.

Spoke to a couple of friends who rang me from back home. I appreciate that like craaazzzyyy cos hardly anyone calls from philly! Not that they are obliged to. It was just really sweet.

I was once again reminded of how grown up my bro is. He messaged me saying he hasn't bought me a card or a gift so when I go home he'd take me out to dinner. That was cute. I miss my bro.

Oh and I love cards more than anything. Weirdness. Was glad I got some.

Finally got rid of the pyramid trap! I hope I wasn't too rude. I think I had the competitive advantage of shooing the predator away as she was having her yummy sausage roll and Js hot chocolate whilst I whizz by and drop off her CDs which I didn't even listen to.

It wasn't that easy though cos I had to spill out this half bull about having to rush to attend to some work-related crisis during the present time. Plus, I practically blacked out any future contacts by 'clueing' her in on my busy busy in the grey future. I was terribly relieved.
