Blissfulness or happiness doesn't even begin to cover it.
February 08, 2009
It was late at night. The streets are empty. You are walking, with a bunch of friends - by the river, then cutting through passage ways and crossing the intersections, aimlessly, without direction - talking and laughing at the top of your voice. You are taking in fresh air until it feels like your lungs are bursting, in a good way. Intoxication has nothing to do with your action, you are not drunk but are as sober as it can be, in fact things have never seem more clear. You are without a single care in the world - formal outfit needed on Monday yet to be ironed, bags for the weekend away yet to be packed, lecture notes yet to be revised are totally forgotten. And then you thought to yourself - "If only life's like that."
The feeling and taste of blissfulness and total liberation is still fresh in my system.
Let's rewind.
The night started off with "Lou Sang" using our very own DIY aka pre-packeted Yee Sang with a touch of our own style - sliced fish balls to substitute for salmon, being charged RM1.50/pac for bringing in outside food, great conversations with a bunch of people who share identical ideas about traveling the world. It was a perfect setting.
Then, the few of us found ourselves wandering aimlessly on the street post-gathering.
And it was a matter of time before we start doing goofy/crazy things from taking picture and drinking in front of a clear and unambiguous "no picture and no food & drink" sign, to lying on the pavement by the pool of black water which happen to be the Melaka river inspired by a random homeless guy which scared the hell out of us.
I cannot remember when was the last time I completely let myself go and had this amount of fun.
Other source of happiness.
These 2 kids here, and another who is too active to sit through a photo.
And Portsmouth 2 - Liverpool 3, in the form a late winner from Fernando Torres, and also Daniel Agger playing the full 90.
Year 2009 has finally kicked start for me, albeit 2 months late.
