overwhelmed

Back in Singapore for almost a month now. At first, I felt really foreign to this place I once called home. Now, it seems to feel a little better. At present, I am feeling rather lost. I wish I know what I'm looking for in every aspects of life. However, how many people really do know what they want in life? If one really do know, would it be considered living life or would it be more like fulfilling the duties in life? We'll never know.. and we can only attempt to build the path ahead of us and overcome any hurdles along the way.


My sentiments ever since I set foot on this little red dot:
When I first came back, I was overwhelmed by the heat & humidity which the sunny island emits. As I walked down Orchard Rd, I was frightened by the amount of human crowd there was trudging down the same street as I did. After driving several times around the island, I was disgusted by the inconsideration and un-graciousness of road users these days. And now, I am bothered by the fact that time passes so quickly. Is it me or is it time in Singapore goes by a few minutes faster than when I was overseas?


Today, I went to Ikea coz I felt that it was the only place where I can have plenty of space around me as I walked through the viewing gallery. It was a place which I have room for myself both physically and mentally. Or so I thought. However, a sense of weariness washed over me. I felt jaded and mentally worn out. I think it's because Mr Brain up there have been put to rest over the one year and now when it's time to use it, the system refused to ignite its engine. Or in plain english, I think I'm becoming more lazy these days.

So I must instill this idiom in me: The sky is the limit!

Don't give up Yvonne Koh!! Just got to keep trying! And put the smile on your face! When one door closes, there is always another one that opens for you!
