inspiration strikes at the oddest times. by the time i reach home to type it out, the linear fashion of the words no longer seem appealing. the feelings evoked not quite so poignant.so many ways to describe one simple emotion. so many thoughts can emanate from a single entity. and yet, all these remain nothing but air, swirling around in my head, swelling up in my heart. language cannot grasp all these.
it doesn't even feel mondayish to me. the 2nd day of chinese new year was heaps of fun. big hearty meals, the requisite new year goodies and endless rounds of gambling with the family till 12+am. am on a lucky winning streak this year and i'm a contented chica.
right now, away from the animated chatter, clinking of mahjong tiles, dealing of cards and the general wave of excitement, i am grateful for the silence. the muscles are aching and alcohol and coffee has no effect on me. tonight my mind will not wonder, it's just good to feel blessed and to live in the moment.
