What started out as a relatively restless morning has managed to restore the transient tranquility that was sorely lacking in my life. Went to sleep only at 2am yet my dysfunctional body clock sounded its alarm at 7.30am. Struggling to keep my eyes open was a tad bit easier than coaxing myself back to sleep. It was hot and is hot. I blame the humidity, what else?

What else?


Not so much the weather as my attitude. Everything's been quite a landslide ever since the holidays started. It's been a mad rush for camp, and trying to pull my act together after less than a day's worth of recuperation from the overwhelming fatigue. CTs are imminent and I've never been more disappointed to confess that this is the conventionally-revered "June Holidays". Peace was missing. A part of me was looking for comfort but I conveniently ignored it. Drawing an abstract concept, solace found itself; the alone time I needed was left alone.

What else? Nothing.


Nothing isn't all that true. It is something, just intangible. But I found it this morning. I peered out the looking glass and saw the park that was my childhood. I figured it would be useful for me to catch a fresh breather. I did not expect to spend the next hour on the swing with the perfect company of a National Geographic magazine (alongside pestering flies), and I certainly did not expect that hour to be more enjoyable than any of those minutes spent lurking behind the computer (irony as it is that I'm blogging but shut it and keep reading; no one forced you here). Either way, the serene (and well, not-so-picturesque) surroundings of my play-land as an adolescent rejuvenated my spirits in the most compelling manner. It was a gentle tickle, a prod to remind me of the simple things in life that made its complexity dwindle in magnitude. Although it is true that these simple things are complex to comprehend, you don't need to dissect them completely to reap their fruits.

That being said, I'm looking forward to getting out of the house again later. Gonna hit the PC Show with 2 other scout-friends (they are not just scouts or friends, do not be mistaken, they are scout-friends and that makes them a ton fold more awesome) to look for a new phone. Got my eye on the HTC One V but if it feels too choppy later I might reconsider.

Enough with the techie-like details, just remember this.

When life seems complicated, it is. But that's the simple truth, which makes everything else beautiful.
