i am truly and really grateful for this chinese new year break. do you know how much i desperately need this break? to be away from work physically and just recuperate. having some proper family time and not having to worry about work.

a good break alhamdulillah, and now on to the other quest that i’ve set my mind on, which hasnt been going on really well. it’s difficult, really. it’s like being trapped in this cocoon and struggling very hard to free yourself from that grip of invisible hands. but i must free myself. and it’s all in the heart and soul. it’s difficult.

i watched percy jackson twice. and not because i love the movie, but one time with dearest one and the second time with dearest ones. but percy doesn’t give me any more excitement than my renewed interest in greek mythology with all its chaos and family feuds, and i mean it, family feuds and all its complicated cosmology. i was truly fascinated with greek myths as soon as i can read by myself and it was the reason i loved fantasy and myths. and yes roman and greek myths are different although inter-influential between the two. looking forward to clash of the titans for something more concrete and real.

valentine’s day the movie was nicer. it shows how much things can happen in twenty four hours and it revolves around love and loving and being loved in all its goodness and bad.

and if i’ve walked 10km or so sometime ago, yesterday, i got to cycle double the distance to and fro (home to upper/lower pierce) and i love it! the thought that i can go almost anywhere in this island and distance become less an obstacle. all the cycling took us only about two hours! it does help ‘clear’ my mind and let out some sweat, which is a rare thing to me:) i love the scenery of trees and reservoir, and the fresh air and i’m still a little scared of the little monkey who stole our famous amos(!) 🙂

i wish this break is longer…even after two day extension of this break. i need more!! hehehe.

but i am happy. and i think i’m refreshed and willing to start work with a new outlook. positivity and clear of doubts or stress.

alhamdulillah. haza min fadhli rabbi.
