It's been a while now...

Hey guys, I know it's been a while. My apologies to my loyal readers(if any at all) for the prolonged pause of postings.

I was engulfed in a sudden relentless torrent of work that I found myself losing touch with everything else that once defined my life. Guitar? Been a while since I last did finger drills. Piano? I've been playing the same old songs for over a year now. Golf? One practice session a month is my new regular schedule. Badminton? Wait, I don't even know where's my badminton shoes. Same thing applies to reading, it's been almost half a year since I bought a new book to read, how I miss the times when I use to buy at least one book every other weekend! Last but not least, I found myself writing blog posts relatively less this year.

"Nothing lasts forever", I used to think that it sounded cliche, an overused quote. But guess what, it is real, and I'm feeling it now. What a revelation eh?

Well, besides all the nostalgic feelings that I'm having right now, I'm feeling happy too! Why? Because - It's study break week! Of course, that explains why I got the time to write this post right now, without having the guilty feeling of not spending my time on my studies instead. Jolly good it felt if you wanna know how it feels. It's like some sort of spiritual liberation, okay, maybe not, but still... You get the idea.



Now, what do I want to talk about here today? Hmm... I don't know, maybe I'll bring up some random stuffs. 

Ah! Of course, I still have some updates to be posted later on when I finish this post. It starts with Odyssey No.26, about my trip to collect seedlings with Eco Warriors.

Speaking of the Odyssey series, I got some time to read through some of my past posts. And I found out that, my life has changed a lot, 180 degrees in fact, ever since that turning point.

What turning point you asked?

Well, I cannot pinpoint exactly when, but I know it started when my and a few schoolmates of mine decided to organize a prom.

That itself wasn't really how everything started. It started when we decided to organize it together with another group of students from SMK BB Sg.Long. A I met a group of very gung-ho people, doing stuffs that any other teenagers would consider boring, dirty, pointless, and any other un-cool adjectives you could think of. But truth to be told, I found them inspiring, sort of got the feeling of seeing "Gandhi-in-the-making". Then I jumped on the bandwagon, and never looked back.

I owed them a lot, for opening my eyes to the world. But for the sake of not boring the hell out of the readers out there, I'll leave the thanksgiving notes until the end of this year, in my traditional annual thanksgiving post. But to single out the person who had influenced my life the most during that period of time, it had to be Minyi, the "small" but "powderful" cili padi, the fearless(immunity does not apply for animals) leader of our team. How? You'll have to wait until my year end thanksgiving post then :)

(Woi Minyi if you are reading this, must belanja me makan for advertising your name you know :D )


Okay, I think I've written enough nonsense to give me excuse for procrastinating my next blog post LOL! Anyway, next up, seedling collection, Tik Tok Earth @ The Guitar Store, plus some random updates on what I'm up to lately.



Till next time, stay tuned and cheers~
