be my e s c a p e
Tuesday, February 20th, 2007Okay, so I’ve been thinking about what to write next. I haven’t posted since mid Jan and its almost the end of Feb. Nadia keeps telling me to update my blog so that she can comment on it. Geez… really, that girl has nothing better to do. We’ve been reading work by Philip Larkin in Lit lately. His view on life as something meaningless and empty is just depressing. But what strikes me, is his unfailing nature to question things and leave solutions to various matters through the lines in his poems. Take for example, he stresses on the necessity of being alone/away once in awhile in order to seek clarity, discover yourself and your existence. I find somehow that I can relate to that. Going on trips overseas does that to you as no one there knows who you are or where you come from. You basically just get to escape, for a while. And then you go back to reality. But that’s life I suppose. Empty and meaningless I beg to differ. But sometimes you just need to break away from it all.
Anyways, last Sat was the reunion dinner for my dads side of the family. If I were to blog then, the title would probably have been “I fcuking hate reunion dinners!” and my reason would be that I simply do not ‘click’ with my dads side of the family. Yes, I know that they are family and we choose our friends but not our family. They’re okay I suppose. Just the whole atmosphere that night was a lil tense. First day of cny, all of us went back to muar (moms side). I actually really enjoy going back there (not the journey there, but the place itself). Shea is there and she’s such fun to be with. Grandma’s hse has a feeling of peace and calmness. And every cny, one of the best bits is playing mahjong with everyone. Its such a blast! The angpow collection this yr has sadly, decreased. Haven’t visited all the relatives yet so hopefully there’ll be more coming my way! J
