Sun's rays shone through the glass panels of the roof, creating shadows on the floor. With each turn, those shadows seemed to turn on it's own axis.
The air filled with the smell of butterscotch cookies, candy floss and caramel flavoured popcorn.
The pace of the countryside life. The sounds of the tinklings of the candy machines, and the melodious tunes of the carousel.
The little girl twirled and twirled around the candy cane pole.
Her mother looked upon her, beaming, filled with pride to see her daughter being as cute as she can be.
Bliss.

Here I Go Again
After two short holidays, one to Redang, the other to Bintan, I am back in the race once again. It's just like a hamster, that keeps on going at the wheel, and seemingly goes nowhere, and at times, get tired, and just hops off the wheel (that's where holiday comes in), then after a while, decides to go back to the wheel and have another go at it again.
What an analogy. It is a very true fact of life though. That many are like this. Myself included. Though I plan and plan my life, seeking the direction and eventual destination, I still come to such a point some time in my life.
That's where I realize, I need to get out of the cage. It ain't just the wheel! Ha.
Been reviewing my life once again. And yes, there are new things I find out about myself. Some of it, I have better decide fast whether I want to still be the way I am, or whether I want to do something about it.
A random trivia - I realize I really lurve to sit on the bus, plugged into my mp3 and listen to some inspirational tunes that somehow or other make me lost in another world of my own, letting the lyrics bring me to fantasy island, and bringing me back....hmm...a pleasure of life.
Yes, that's what a typical working adult is like. Sometimes, it does sound quite sad. Is it? Or is it not? Hmm...

Reminisce
I came home from facial last night, had a late dinner, and slouched in my couch.
My mum suddenly excitedly came to me with a photo album. Yellow, slightly tattered at the corners, and definitely smelled of old, ruffled papers. Once in a while, she'd come up with something interesting for me to ponder over. Last night, was one of those nights.
"Hey, you look at this. Don't you think that my friend's face shape is just sooooooo different? She must have did something to her face!"
Yeah, her friend, is now my beautician.
They have been close friends for a long while. The thing that brought them apart - marriage, kids. Now that their kids are older, do they have time to sit down and talk. It's really that hard, I guess, for a typical person to upkeep friendship. Though this is something I don't really like, it's also something that I prepare myself mentally for.
As I watched them talk over coffee and toast two weeks back, each knowing each other's preferences, I thought of the coffee talks I have with my close friends. It's like watching life fast forward to 30 years on, and this is how it'd look like.
One thing I really found true-er and true-er now, is as a particular person once said," What you do before you are 30, determines what you would do after 30." Both of them have always been in the beauty line. The skincare regime has kept them youthful. I could see for myself one thing - maintenance, for a woman, is really important. The both of them didn't look "ah-sor". I really hope I'd be somewhat like them...aging gracefully.
Of course, spiritual and emotional health are more important, but nowadays, we look to holistic needs. All encompassing needs being met. Sounds a hefty feat.
