om home om

today i didnt go out, i mean out of the island. well actually for the past 3 days i remained on the island. weekend i worked. today i devote the whole day to unpacking. since leekeng arrived, i had stopped all unpacking, and havent continued till yesterday. i did my laundry in the morning, cleaned up the rooftop, shifted the bookshelf around in the nook, unpacked 4 more boxes. changed the white, beigy look to a red, magenta, orange, burgundy, funky ethnic clash. then i rewarded myself with a delicious apple crumble from delilamma. i then attempt to trace a very complicated thangka painting to train my patience as a form of meditation. i need to sloooooow down. i think i am going to trace a bit every evening at the roof.
oh and i told leekeng today i understand why she likes to do laundry at my place, today i too experience the joy of it. i like to peg the clothes. and i am loving housework now, i duno why this house just makes me love it. house of love.... haha. oh and i love the wooden clothes pegs. i am beginning to like anything that reminds me of my childhood. i remembered telling my parents when i was home last week, that i really like this simple village community kind of living. my mom said i am getting old, when people get old, they tend to think fondly of their early days. regression. this island marks the start of renunciation and regression of my life. hahaha.

also! life is everywhere. i also found some egg-like stuff on my table cloth! whose eggs!? i wonder if its seeds or eggs. exciting... i shall wait and see. will update you. oh i think i can start another blog documenting my life in lamma. i meditated under the setting sun today. can you see the sun behind the clouds? i feel the strong quiet energy. i must sit with myself at least 15mins a day and 'let your stillness speaks to you', like my yoga teacher said. om shanti om. i love this house. thank you universe, am forever grateful. one with you.

p.s. hey girls, i hope you are enjoying this blog yah, sometimes leekeng and i would joke about my 'schizophrenic blogging style' one day its all fashion 'KYURII 09MAR C PREVIEW!' and then the next day 'OM HOME OM' blabbling on about some spiritual stuff. 2 different worlds. haha that's exactly my current living style. i thought about splitting them up, but i have no time to manage another blog i think. and furthermore, i think life is a balancing act right. work and living. material and spiritual.

i wish i could slow down and admire everything around me. i find myself increasingly resent the amount of time i spend at work and it never ends. i don't sleep enough. and i don't walk enough. heck i don't even spend enough time with the people i love. i wish for the days i could curl up in bed with a good book, listen to music. visit the museum and be with my thoughts.

hey, i understand how you must be feeling now. i was like that for years before i decided that enough is enough.

it must be tough but please do try to take a little break in between, do the things that you enjoy which makes you happy. becos if we are not happy, ultimately everything else around us will suffer. or take a short trip, come to lamma! : )

alright you take care of your self, ok? hugs.
i hope you will feel rejuvenated soon.

love, suyin
