mundanity

having a lull period so spent quite a few days at home... during which had the opportunity to revel in e more plebeian (no derogatory connotations intended) pleasures of civilian life.

i went marketing one day with aunty anula. and as prosaic as it may seem to be, marketing is actually such a skill... a skill at which aunty anula is exceptionally proficient at. lolz the way she weaves through the market, sieving good from bad with just a sniff or touch. damn efficient la. precise knowledge of exactly which stalls have the best prices, haggling, diplomacy. think if i had to do it, i'd just get a headache from the cacophony. assault on senses lor. feels the slime and wetness ee.

had e luxury of just slacking on the sofas, and spending time with candy and brilliant. esp brilliant <3 dono if i mentioned it but during e initial 17 days of army, i really missed brilliant. handsome face~

quotes:
The young ones,
Darling we're the young ones,
And young ones shouldn't be afraid.
To live, love
While the flame is strong,
For we won't be the young ones very long

lolz but as poey reminded last week... so indulgent. to live. but are these all just various sides of e same die - fulfillment? intellectual, sensory, spiritual... is there a 'highest' epiphany among e 3 that can be reached? again, just questioning on e side of intellectual curiosity... it's hypocritical in a sense cos deep down i belief in e supreme importance (perhaps it's just rooted in tradition, or an unwillingness to step out of this psychological safe zone) of spirituality. but if i can reify thoughts like these, does it mean the time of reckoning is at hand? or will i be able to steer clear of this character/value/moral collision?

got my enneagram report~ feel like i'm drowning. manacles of labels; sea of arbitrary reflections. but it is ultimately enlightening~ =)
