They threatened to pour all day
Windy with humidity like home

I sit on the tram, facing the back
Zooming out, a man starts shouting randomly
Tension and nerves appear on the faces.

Zooming in, like a contrast of white on black
A man chats happily on the phone, oblivious of the ranting and raving..
We get off at the same stop and I cannot help but overhear the one sided conversation.
The one sided conversation of tremendous love and adoration for another.
Envy? Perhaps.

Summer seems to have retracted for now.
Warm days, chilly nights.
At least the allergies have subsided.
Will it be for good? One can only hope.

I know my ramblings have become shorter and more sporadic.
Words no longer flow like they did.
Although the heart and mind are active, my fingers and efforts are almost sloth-like.

I picked up Muraki's (relatively) new book 2 nights ago - Kafka On Shore. I procrastinated for a few months but I finally bought it at Borders. I am hoping it will reignite my lost passion for reading, for words and for writing.

I miss reading. I love how words are strung together and when partnered with an imagination. The story is weaved into animation, my animation.
But ask me in 2 month's time what it the book was about; I won't have a clue and I won't know where to start.

This sunday's a BBQ at mine. Pop by if you're in the area.

3 more mondays to THE holiday!!
I'm definitely looking forward to it but at the same time I have felt that I've also bitten off more than I can chew.
Not as organised as I would like, I need to gather my thoughts and plan out my trip. Too many things too do, too many distractions. I need to at least plan for Day 1 in Paris as I would be left to my own devices for a good part of the day.

Will be interesting to see how I manage my money. It will not be a trip with extravagence - that's for sure.
Only the eyes, soul and mind will be greatly enriched - at least that's what I am hoping for.

I've finally got back into Muay Thai.
After a good 4-5 weeks of absence, training tonight was rejuvenating. I am starting to feel sore but I know my body needs it. I have been too slack with looking after myself and am paying the price for it.

The pitter-patter of raindrops outside is soothing - I might curl up with a good book tonight.

Thinking of you.
