A blog is an interactive, personalized web journal for posting our views, art, rants, raves, reviews, pictures, music - anything we want to share with the masses or a private group. An avenue to gather our thoughts, insights, humour, enrages, outrages, loves, hates, true and fictional stories. A domain for us to bare our soul. A sanctuary which we could seek refuge. A place that we could be ourselves. Well, not exactly ourselves. Much as I would like to, I find that I could not write freely. For fear that someone may read them and manipulate the information to my disadvantage which it did. I felt unguarded, defenceless and annoyed. Therefore the change of name from “made2move” to “gottamove”.
My September appeared to be loaded with negative vibes. Monday was supposed to be gym day. But I thought I decide to break away from the normal routine and took a trip to Johor Bahru. I’m very much a gregarious breed but that day I was looking forward to being alone. Since I resume dragonboating, I haven’t visited JB for the past 6 months. At JB you can shop, eat, watch movies and have a haircut at half the price of what you are paying in Singapore.
The moment I cleared the Malaysian customs, I heaved a sign of relief. Don’t have to fret about sms, phone calls and emails. Sometimes we just need that space to be connected with ourselves, do some reflection and appreciate the moment. I was enjoying myself looking at the sea, savouring the breeze, probably dazed and oblivious of the environment. It felt so pleasant and relaxed just to embrace that particular instance and immerse completely in it. I can’t remember how long I took but it doesn’t matter. I lost track of time. Although I wish the here and now could last a little longer, it was sufficient to make me feel recharged, revitalized and rejuvenated.
