Yesterday being national day, instead of getting all hyped up at the national stadium, I chose to go somewhere tranquil, peaceful, and out of this world. I went to MacRitchie Reservoir to take a walk and have some peace and quiet. As I sat down to look across the Reservoir, though man-made, the waters was really green and sparkly. It was beautiful. Somehow, my mind went floating on the waters, with mild ripples.

When you let your minds wonder, you will tend to think of unhappy things instead of happy ones, especially when you are alone. I guess I'm at a cross road now, deciding which direction to move on to. It will be a major decision as I do not think I'll be able to handle another cross-road soon. Nevertheless, that's life, isn't it? Life is about making choices. I hate to make major decisions. And especially when I'm feeling a little regretful about certain decisions I had made some years back. I'm really lousy at making decisions.
Whenever I face such situations, I always feel like running away! Escapism is never a solution, but it is tempting, isn't it? To escape from troubles. But for how long will escapism last? Almost never. It is just like seeking alcohol to forget troubles. Somehow, you will get sober only too soon.
It was a blessing that I did not have to stay there for long as I had another dinner appointment to catch up with some friends over dinner. Something happier to look forward to. A form of escapism. At least for that evening.

I hope you are feeling better already. Take care.
Thanks. It's a cycle. Guess it will last till end of this year. Hopefully I've made my decision by then.
I think life is made up of crossroads, and because it smacks of change, we can be afraid of the unknown.
Yep. I'm someone who hates changes!!!
