AT HOME FOR CHRISTMAS


Am at home all week for the Christmas holidays.  The mobile phone is on silent mode.  I've ceased to check my work emails.  It's my feeble pursuit of tranquility. Living with emotionally needy parents can be draining.  On Sunday I attempted (unsuccessfully) to read a book.  With every 2 pages that I turn my mum would appear by my side with either a question, something to discuss, or something to say.  

Yesterday I finally spent half a day on my own - in a cafe, sipped fruit tea and read a novel.  A much needed (albeit brief) liberation.

This afternoon, while Mum was busy at the sewing machine, I made a batch of Drop Scones.  At the speed of light and quietly as a mouse I moved, and even managed to snap a few photos before the sun got smothered by layers of dark clouds.

下半场 | 英雄回归

昨天逛书局时, 竟发现久违的英雄牌钢笔。你是否也用过?反正这就是我中学时期的回忆。赶紧买了一支。当然,墨水是必需的。 人生下的半场 做个简单的人  少于人纠缠 多看大自然  在路上见世界 在途中寻自己  知山高水阔 故云淡风轻  名山海可平 故风雨兼程  以如常为安 以如愿为喜 ...
