Philosophy made simple
The philosopher-turned-shoppaholic good friend of many many years's visit deserve more than a mention here, although that has been more than a month ago. It's the thought of recording her reactions to her first ever visit to this side of the world that has shaken me out of my silence from these pages. What's amazing is not so much the fact that she finds everything amazing and different, but it is the fact that she managed to inject that renewed vigour into old me to look at things from a different angle completely. It invigorated my tired soul to realise the simple pleasures that I have managed to drop off my existence in my quest for I don't quite know what. Like the simple pleasures of getting amazed by the coconut trees. Or the rubber plantations. Or mosques. And of course, the fridge magnets. What really did amaze me was the ability of her luggage to balloon up to 41 kilos at the end of the trip. Go girl!

You crack me up. So well put. I guess I'll have to write about you now, having written about me and so goes the cycle. Yes, I guess I was like a child in Malaysia, seeing things for the first time asking, what, why, how.
Were you like that when it was your first time...you know? *wink*
never been that confident, my first time :) seriously! don't know where that confidence sank into me but who cares if i was good or not, i was confident, damn it!
