what i was thinking ... on May 13, Mon, 1995 at about 12.20pm

Before we entered the new millenium, before the Internet, and before Blogging... i was essentially the same person post experiencing the new millenium, Internet and blogging.

Only difference was i penned more of my thoughts in my journals. I started writing in my journals from a very young age. In a box near my writing desk now contains all those pages.

As i was attempting to get started on my writing today...i decided to look through one journal in particular...that belonged to my life 10 years ago. it reads like/and reading it again is like a homecoming of sorts...

12:20 pm May 13, Mon, 1995.
now at matilda bay...which overlooks swan river...(perth western australia)

"i'm lying on the grass and feeling like a million bucks...The weather is just perfect. I'm facing the river as i write now, the sail boats, some anchored at the marina on the right and some just cruising along the blue waters with the city skyline as the backdrop......"

"....I've never seen seagulls in real life before and seeing them now i can understand why they are always an issue in poems. About one metre away from stands two yellow wild flowers - really pretty. Were they in Singapore, someone would have plucked them out by now! But this is perth and I'm able to write about them now."

"...the sky is really clear in different shades of blue, the wind is cool and my exposed skin on my hands and face is sunkissed. The waves seem to be playing a rhythmic tune that calls out some unspoken freedom as it breaks onto shore where the white foams of the water is formed...just like the cream on freshly brewed coffee! the pace of life here is just right ie, for me. no rat race shit. just the way i like it."
