Why Do I Like Coffee Bean?

No reasons in particular, in fact, any cafe would do. Coffee Bean happens to have starhub wireless internet, which has turned free (great customer service move by Starhub).

But here, there's ambient noise, bad lighting, and just me and my laptop. This, somehow, allows me to focus, to relax.

Sometimes, the most private place you can be, is in a crowd. Nobody looks at the person sitting next to you, or hears their conversation, because they are all too engrossed in talking, too concerned about themselves. You could walk around naked and I'll be surprised if somebody notices. (okay, maybe they would.)

In this busy and crowded cafe, I find solitude.

Or maybe these are the delusional effects of an iced latte.

Updates on the 9th of January

Someone commented on my good writing, and whether it was a blatant lie or dripping sarcasm, i've decided to take it as a compliment (ref: previous entry on self delusion), and amaze the world with more of my literary lack of talent.

Updates:

I'm back in Singapore, thrown into work force and have already started incurring huge losses for my company.

Recent obsessions include sprinkling half-baked japanese phrases all over my blogs and profiles, in hope that cogito ergo sum power will up my japanese level.

4 months in Singapore and no gym membership yet, someone please bind me up in chains and throw me onto a treadmill.

What else? Glad to be home, had no idea that I could adapt so quickly, forget the wonderful taste of natto so quickly, that time passes so quickly and things changes so quickly, and yet to a friend whom i haven't met for years, that i could still look exactly the same.

今月経験した事に、色々を考えさせられた。仕事は、なんか、考えたより、ずっと楽しくて凄かった。卒業する前、ずっと仕事を始める事を怖がってばかりいて、仕事なんてやだなあって思って、でも、今は本当に会社と同僚の皆様が大好きになってしまった。人生が不思議なあって、思わせるなあ。

やっぱり、どんな事があっても、自分の居る場所と自分の幸せを見つけられる。夢と立志とか、いらない。自分の想像だけで限られたくないから。吃驚させられたい。驚かされたい。人生の奇襲、奇跡のように、自分の話を書いている。終わりなんて，まだ全然分からない。それは、生きているの楽しと思う。
