Haven't felt like such an accomplished day for quite a long time!

I did 3 things today! Visited 2 ex-colleagues' house for Hari Raya, catch up a lot with all of them and had a super-duper-whooper nice and light-hearted chat with my bestest sec brother.

The feeling is just, well nice. I can't find a better word to describe how i feel.


House visit number 1: Yati house.

Although i didn't manage to talk to her a lot as there were many guests in her house, it sure was nice seeing her again. And also 2 other ex-colleagues. Managed to talk a bit with both.

Yati was my "mentor" who taught me my work in TTSH. And i appreciate all that she had taught and shared with me, all the talking, complaining and the lunches as well. Although things did not always went right, and there were the ups and downs, the fact that she invited and i went to her house on her new year day showed that's a all well that ends well.

House visit number 2: Hamzah house.

Hamzah is another ex-colleague i came to know at SCS. It is the second time i visit his place for Hari Raya. The first being while we were colleagues and the whole bunch of us stomped his place. Today, the bunch is dispersed, leaving only me and him that met up.

It's nice to catch up with him, there was so much missing since we last spoken. Ultimately, it is nice to be remembered and invited, although we seldom were in contact for a while.


Light-hearted chat with Vincent: MosBurger, J8.

Later met up with Vincent over at Bishan J8.

Sidetrack: I basically travelled North, East, South, West then Central today. ><

Vincent seemed so much happier than the last time i saw him. He too went through some ups and downs and i'm just glad that he made it through all by himself and emerge victory. Having went through ups and downs myself recently, i guess seeing him makes me feel so much more the better.

We talked quite a lot (i think). And he shared with me his enlightenment on the things he had been studying, pondering and practicing - Way of the Tao. I probably didn't really understood half of what Tao is, but as he shares, it dawns upon me, how i too would like to subscribe to the thinking of Tao.

As far as i could understand and appreciate, learn to take things easy and take things as it happens. Be happy. Its difficult to put down into words. But it sorts of put you at peace with the world. Like nothing can hurt you.

Anyway, before anyone gets confused over Tao. It is not praying to Dua Bek Gong, Lok Chiam See and Syeow Kim Zua. A serious misconception. Tao is basically a philosophy for life. How it ended up as the Syeow Kim Zua thing, i also like to know.

So i left MosBurger, with a lighter heart. My brother is no saint. Its just so that i could link his thoughts and experiences to myself, especially after so much pent up emotions that it felt kinda of good to be able to let go a bit. =)
