The unexpected post

Why unexpected?
I was thinking of writing about our almost extra night in Paris because of Air France's policy of overbooking their flights. But then something turned up and I though maybe I should lie in electronic ink some other thoughts. If I'm bragging along no one is obliging you to read.

What's on my mind, as Facebook would say: fights, wars, battles, arguments, different point of views etc.
I seem to never be able to stay mad at someone for very long. At first I'm like "I'll never forgive whoever for whatever, and I WILL stick to my anger". Then I realise that it's not bringing much to the debate, and most of all it's not making me happier to be mad. Not to mention the other party, who is either completely oblivious, making my resentment useless, or depressed, making my grudge cruel.
I sincerely don't remember anyone I'm still angry at today for what ever situation. I don't even remember being mad at anyone for more than a day (but most likely never more than a few hours).
Maybe when reading this you think I'm soft, or too nice... Maybe.
The best of all this, is that I'm happier than if I were mad. Having negative thoughts, nursing an old story, penning it down to make sure it's never forgotten... Nah, not for me.
When a friend tells me he (usually she) is so angry at someone, I always feel the reason is trivial and not worth keeping in mind. Peace, but mostly love, are a lot more important.
Now, don't get me wrong, there are unforgivable things. And I have never spoken to someone again for some action but my anger or annoyance subsidised some weeks before the bridge was blown up.

Reminder to Self

Things always have a way of working themselves out no matter how random they may seem.

Food Cravings

Funny how I tend to have certain food cravings at the craziest moments. I'm right now in Tours, with the sun shining yet it's not too hot, we've been swimming in the pool whole of yesterday, got a really good new layer of tan, meat on the barbecue... life is perfect and tranquil. And a thought pops in my head, "Wonder where I can find some good ramen in France, and really spicy chilli padi?". I sit up at times like this because I do surprise myself. It's just, well, odd. I mean, the combination is odd in itself already. Ramen with chilli padi? I would never have that on any other normal day, but oddly enough, this sounds temptingly mouth watering to me right now. And the same happens to me when I'm back in Singapore. Sometimes, when it's all rainy and cold (it can get a little fresh although that's rare), I think "some raclette right now would be good".

Maybe I'm the only person who thinks this way. It's just really amusing how my brain works sometimes...
