Eat Pray Luv

Such a movie buff. Today, Eat Pray Love is added to the list. The movie triggered many thoughts and emotions within me. It was a magical journey because of Julia Roberts. There was not a moment where I felt disconnected to the story. From Italy to India then Bali, the urge for freedom was strong. It certainly posed food for thought and I believe the movie not only speaks out to me, but also all the women out there who's looking for love, balance, peace and faith.

If the Italians think that Americans do not know how to appreciate the pleasures of life, I wonder what are their thoughts on Singapore? Sometimes, I feel so stifled that the lifestyle seems to be devoid of enjoyment. Don't get me wrong. The system works great and there are many things in Singapore that I don't take for granted. To feel the void, we need more choices in our way of lives.

Maybe I am just a coward who has yet to indulge in my individuality. And sometimes I surprise myself with the conflicted thoughts. My life is flawed in many ways. But if perfection is not within reach, one can simply make the best of it. what really matters is that I have a strong support network.

Best family, coolest friends, sweetest colleagues, and a very important soulmate.
