Well, it has been quite some time after my last blog... Nontheless, was feeling boring at this moment and thought that writing a blog might be good. So here it goes.

=======================

After 8 years, I will most probably be stepping on French soil again on the 7th March 2006. Yup, damned right, it has been 8 yrs. Time flies, huh?

 

I can still vividly remember the day when I left Paris' CDG airport after spending 6 yrs of my most wonderful moments in France. Gosh, those were the days. But "helas", after 6 good yrs, it was with a heavy heart that I had to leave France. At that moment, while I was on the train from Rouen to Paris CDG airport, I was asking myself "why do I have this melancholi feeling? Why am I not elated to be able to go back to my homeland, Singapore?"

 

The answer was in my heart and it has always been eversince. I was just surprised by the reason myself....

 

8 years later, I am going back... for the 1st time. Again, that same melancholic feeling is coming back. But it was mixed with excitment this time round. I just can't wait to go back. I can't wait to trace back the footsteps that I have so often taken in Paris, the places that were so familar and the people whom I so cherished. The good memories are flowing back. Yes, France, your son is coming back.

 

So, what is this melancholic feeling when I left France 8 years back? It was a feeling as if I am losing part of myself. It was also a feeling as if I am turning my back to who I want to be, where I am most happy, things which I most enjoy doing. It was a LOST feeling.

 

And 8 years in Singapore, well, I can't say I have found myself.....

 

Let's see whether I will be able to find myself again in March. Let's see....

=======================================

 

 

  

Hummm.... my first blog... and I am writing my first blog while on Sick Leave. So, should I be excited or should I be .... well, I don't even know how SHOULD I feel.

 

Blogging has never been something that I find meaningful in doing.  I have been wondering why should anyone blog (ex: this lady called Sandralicious....hey, I think she is young and very attractive, but why should someone so well-endowed want to "advertise" her inner world to the whole external alien public? Beats me....)

 

It is exactly this constant pondering that leads me to blog...TODAY. Well, ok lah, it is also because I am quite frustrated today and most of my friends are working (no one to talk to lah and nothing much to do anyway). So, I thought I might as well write something on the web and see for myself whether anyone could tell me the advantages in blogging. (Alemak, this is my instant thoughts, aka shoot-off-the-butt-thinking, don't flame me, ok?)

 

So here goes my first blog. It is aimless writing, off-the-butt thinking and most surely meaningless. But hey, perhaps you could tell me one thing or two about blogging. Hope to hear from you guys (if you wanna flame me, go on lah. We live in a virtual world, your flaming won't really hurt me hor).

 

Cheers
