Ashes to ashes, dust to dust....

Well, well, well....its been a pretty long time hasn't? Been a while now since I posted up anything at all. And I guess its been about time.

Hmmm, jeez...look at the date of the post before this. Still cant believe I have abandoned my blog for this long. But anyway, I guess its time to make up for it. So forgive me if this entry's gonna be lenghty..hehehe.

4 months....for the past 4 months, ALOT has happened. For starters, I've been to Shanghai and back. In a way, I consider it quite an enjoyable trip. Saw alot of beautiful and awe inspiring scenaries that really caught my heart. So, how do I describe China? Well, there's always the food that I can never get used to; the land of the bicycles, bicycles and bicycles, and oh yeah.....of course, the beautiful people. *winks* It was snowing when I was there, so i was freezing my ass of most of the time. Still, atleast I have touched snow rite? OK...that was lame. Haha...but jokes aside, I think the place I love the most is of course Suzhou. China has always been notoriously famous for its rude and obnoxious people, but I really tell you...the people in Suzhou are the most well mannered and polite people I have seen. And of course, the food there is the best I have eaten in China.

But among all else, I think the simplest way to descirbe China is...Beautiful. The sights which I saw was simply magnificent and no words can describe how I feel. You really have to be there to appreciate and understand how I feel about it. Below are some of the pics I took with my ever-fantastic-reliable-beautiful Lumix FX-7. Of course, these pics does not justify the country's true beauty.

Moving on, there were more in store for me when I came back. Life has been up, down, up and down again. When I came back from China, work was piling up, good colleagues were leaving and someone special to me that I have once lost came back into my life....only for me to abandon this person. But I guess some would say, I actually abandon myself.

Sounds deep? Well, maybe one fine day...when I have the time...I'll post something up. Then maybe some of you might understand. Friendships and relationships are a real funny thing. One thing I hate the most about it is the drama. Why cant feelings and human relatonships be ever simple? But then again, nothing's ever simple.

Have anyone seen Hitch? If you havent...WATCH IT!!! Seriously, that movie to me...was so meaningful on so many levels. It really made me reflect on what I have been going through for the past 10 months. So i guess, as ironic as it may sound, Hitch really made me understand myself better. And there was this one particular part in the movie which kinda surprised me. It was what a friend mentioned to me exactly quite sometime back..."Sometimes in life you realli have to take the leap....and you have to see whether or not you will fly...or fall."

So I guess that's all for now. I have tonnes of other pics to post up and more to report I guess. Till next time, same time, same place, same blogsite.
