Walked down to the waterfront after lunch. Squinting against the hot sun beating down, watched the waves crash into the stones below the promenade. Could feel some of the spray on my face. Remembered walking on another promenade with my friend Z. and wondering when high tide is. Well, now I know. Close to noon. Think I have to walk down there one of these days after the monsoon starts. The sea will be rather wild and rough and the spray will be all over the place. But hey, if you are getting drenched from the rain, why worry about the spray ;-)
I can't really understand why life just can not be like a fairytale. Wouldn't it be so much nicer if it is? Or would hedonistic adaptation work there too? If happiness is a constant state of your mind, will happiness cease to matter? Hmm... I think that my highs and lows are a bit extreme. Reminds me of characters in the Jonathan Black books that I used to read in school.
I need to surround myself with people when I'm feeling blue. Not total strangers. But friends. New or old, it doesn't matter. What matters is whether they share similar views and whether they'd understand me. Close friends of mine who wonder why I make such a big fuss about my personal life are exactly not good company when what I need is comforting. Add to that, it looks like I'm running a very good chance of getting fired for sheer incompetence. Wonderful. Life just can't seem to get any worse in a week. Sigh.

Even I wish life was a fairy tale...which is why I love the movie 'Big Fish'.There should be elements of fantasy and spectacle in our boring lives too.
Don't think I've seen that Joe. Will try catch it sometime. Oh yeah - there ought to be. Don't you think there is? We all engage in fantasy and make-believe. And as for spectacle, we all make spectacles of ourselves at times. Though of course that is not what you'd meant. I was just kidding ;-) Know what u meant. And glad that sbdy echoes my sentiment
it could get worse You could wake up one day and find out that this is not a dream and you are stuck with your decisions for all your future lives
