the common saying of hitting 21st is attaining "the key to the world"; something i'd wished for in the tender years, then again now when its here, so do a long slew of responsibilities and a hedge haze or labyrinth of passageways to decipher and conquer..

i've decided to do away with the pomp and ceremonies of a birthday gathering, opting for something quaint and quiet with the ones that gave me life.
Choosing for a short hop to kl and melaka for the occasion. which turns out to be a little of a regret as it didnt hit its objective of quaint and quiet either. Both cities had to deal with a whole lot of walking, something my folks cant catch up on; ideologies to holidaying varies as well... i really should have given more thought to this.

starting on the wrong foot, yeah literally.. had its bane. plaguing me with some serious bad news of a possible disc injury.. angst and shock kick in as this was some serious shit which could throw me out of action in the near future. it arrived as a shock initially then it soon became anger as i was angry with myself  how could this happen.. several hiccups along the way added a few other tons on the already packed load i'm carrying.

visiting grandma in the hospital today also left me leaving with a heavy heart. Solidity reminding me of the importance of loving, living and laughing out loud. and opened my mind to the thoughts of financial independence; Things which i would really need to discipline myself to plan for.

this chapter started with a low, but the funny thing about being low is that a high is never too far away. I hope the chaps in the crow's nest would be able to spot it soon.
and also you soon...
