recently, i have adopted a 'don't drive unless needed' policy... this then translates into leaving the car at home and taking public transport to town for work or leisure...
anyway, riding on the bus and train frees up my travel time to pick up reading... so a couple of days back, i managed to read the famous 'i have a dream' speech while heading off to rehearsals... there was definitely a few moments that i felt blessed and inspired... blessed because i am born into a privileged position and inspired due to the fact that words can have so much power on people...
so today, i left my car at home after rehearsals and took a train to raffles place for my meeting... lo and behold, meeting time was pushed back an hour so i had time to burn. so gallant me walked all the way to funan and found a nice little cafe... order a salad and a drink... then munched away... of course i was flipping through magazines whilst enjoying my little teatime...
but such is the true pleasure of life... it does not have to be a new jacket, new shoes, a huge paycheque, praises or garlands... just simple silence with the self... to have no one disturb you and give you personal space to be alone... it's something that i have not done for a long time and i'm glad i did it today...
perhaps i should reinstate my movie mondays when i buy myself a ticket to any movie on a monday and just watch it on my own... just to be with me...
