Thought(s) of the day...

We spent an hour's worth of drive to Mall of Asia, another hour and a half to select from
the food choices, another 30 minutes walking and selecting the most desirable
place that can be found nearest to where the fireworks would be held, and another 30 minutes of waiting time. After the first pyro olympic show, another hour was spent waiting for
the next country's show, waiting which was not that fruitful because we left before it started. But we were still able to see it while on the road. Anyway, my point is that teh waitin time and all the idle time were spent thinking while dropping a line or two as a comment to my friends.

...It's a long train of thought which would include a lot of names but since space is limited and since this blog is prohibited from the display of people's names, I guess I'll just summarize..

When you move around different societies,
you learn to mingle and fit in;
but it gives you the feeling of loneliness,
of not really belonging to any of them,
that it comes to the point that you merely become who you're with,
and you can no longer identify yourself.

When your heart desires to be in another place and with another person,
you never enjoy the moment at hand
so that you miss the opportunity of having great pleasure with the people around.
You forget to enjoy the present!
You forget to seize the moment!
