First Thanksgiving Of The Year

it is sometimes thought that when a long absence takes place, away from the people that means to you the most, he or she may think that you have simply shirk away into oblivion and having a good time elsewhere. that was hardly the case for me.

for the record, that couple of months when i wasn't able to make that trip up to KL was one of those major regrets i've had. it was something i've always dreaded, thanks (but no thanks) to having to serve a three weeks reservist in december, the backlog at work that stretched till post-new year and the craziness that followed at work ushering in 2007.

admittedly, missing out on that trip to spend time with brian was, for the lack of a better word; excruciating.

being able to make the trip last weekend at the start of february proved to be a defining moment... for the the chance to bare oneself down to the innermost desire to voice out and to speak. hence the resolve grew to hopefully make that move to KL for good. godspeed.

dinner with brian at ikea in PJ...certainly beats having a meal in singapore's ikea
