Dare you to move

My lifestyle here has to be described as hedonistic, that is at bare minimum. Especially when one discovers the culinery delights that can be enjoyed; and the price that accompanies such pleasures. Like 'Delicious by Ms. Read' or 'Williams', a mamak that offers big portions of pasta dishes and gigantic sized drinks at really affordable prices. Figures that the people in UK divide by 7, and food that those in Brunei have no access to. =P. Some pictures to work up your appetite and your frustration:

Air-dried noodles with mushrooms and soft-shelled crabs at William's priced at RM15.

You know..

When healed wounds bleed afresh, and mended scars are torn, remember what someone told me once:- 'It is not real until it hurts.' It is balm to the soul, no cynicism intended.

Some time ago, I told my friend Pei Shern that my new motto in life was not to entertain queries and doubts pertaining to what ifs and if onlys but simply to make a rational and mature decision and accept, adapt and adjust to the consequences of that decision without allowing myself to regret anything. And this i mean to instil in the mind and on the heart.

Was there a time in your life where you bled? Didn't you know it inside yourself and against the better judgement of closest friends who meant you well that right after the wounds were inflicted you needed to bleed first before you healed? Sometimes some people need to bleed in solitude. Because sometimes for some people sympathy and pity and compassion make the pain harder to bear. Sometimes making like nothing is wrong isn't denial, its just protecting yourself. Because then you become stronger, and you heal faster, and when you're healing then you move on.

And with these thoughts I leave you all with wishes for a pleasant week to come, and lyrics from Switchfoot's I dare you to move:

Maybe redemption has stories to tell
Maybe forgiveness is right where you fell
Where can you run to escape from yourself?
Where you gonna go?
Where you gonna go?
Salvation is here

And <3
