highly literary, with occasional grammar slips
tech idiot, who?just a little self-indulgent after furnishing the blog.
there's nothing like a good ol' clean-up to make me feel like writing again. i can't even begin to tell you how critical i have been on myself since i started exposing my penmanship to the myriad of editors. let's just say, i stopped writing to make myself feel better.
i told myself a couple of months ago to lock up my lexicon of literary language. writing in the papers is all about the objectivity and the immediacy. you need to push forward the news point, simplify your words and make it sharp and clean. well, that was how i was taught and that was how i should write, i reckon.
but nearly three months down the writer's path, i missed the summer-sweet flowers, the whiffs of fresh lavender and the touch of my pen. my pen. and also because i think my editors don't mind an occasional literary intoxication.
but don't take me wrongly, SPH has been smashin!
i kept pinching myself to make sure i was in real life - how can anything called Work be so amazing? how can waking up at 7am to watch out for errant cyclists at Sembawang MRT station feel so good?
and i think i heard a piece of puzzle fitted nicely into its place somewhere in the Higher Place. that's why, that's why.
i can't help but thank God.
