Yes, this blog is still breathing, as some have quizzed me. As usual, i have a lot to say, but i can barely pen my most honest thoughts here anymore - and this is a reflection, in some ways, of situation i find myself embroiled in these days. 

Yesterday was one of the Saturdays in a long while that i was truly contented - a day largely away from work and the workplace, filled with people who truly matter, planning things that i truly look forward to, and of course, satisfying my two cravings: bubble tea and Starbucks. I know some may frown over this, but sorry not that i care  - I heart Starbucks! The aroma of a Starbucks outlet and the velvety texture of its cafe mocha (with whipped cream please) makes for a very contented alvin indeed. 

Am i jaded already? Perhaps so; maybe not. Can things be better? Most probably. Is it within my capacity to make myself happier? Well, yes and no. You must understand that there are many things within this specific system that i have no means to change. It isn't as easy as you think it is, so save your judgements, thank you.

But i'm thankful to Y who popped the question that helped me realign myself again. "So what makes you want to head to work each morning when you wake up?" 

I didn't have to think about the answer at all. "My pupils". Most certainly it is. But for how long? Well, i can't say for sure.
