Mr. James, I salute you for your far-fetched vision, because if you were to sell all those eggs you'd laid at home during the past eight months, you could make yourself a fortune! But eggs aside, if you wished the break could be beneficial, indeed it has This sabbatical period has... changed your lifelong goal. You used to dream of denting the universe or at least, making a difference in someone's life.
But now you don't want to do that any more.
What happened, Mr. James? Why?
Oh, there goes your saliva...
Never mind, I think I know exactly why. You know, you've blogged (crapped to many) much about your life during the holidays. You tried to dive deep into your history, peeling more layers to reveal unspoken truths, and your 6W 1H series has really helped you to do that. So if there's a sentence marking the change of you perception, goal and ambition, certainly it is this:
I never knew my words had made so much impact, but if others could pick a piece of my shattered dreams to build up theirs, then this is one heck of a life.
Perhaps imperfection is how you should be. Maybe unattained targets are what your life is all about. As you go on doing the best that you could under any given circumstances, no matter how the ending will be, you inspire others to do the same. You show while there's only one huge jigsaw puzzle, there are many pieces - each unique in its own shape, position and colour.
Now, you just want to be precisely you, in all your weakness.
Your dream now is to be the best of you, in all your strength.

Oh... NONSENSE!!!
I think I've been infected by your profoundly rubbish mind, Mr James.
You might be sleeping soundly, but it seems that your mum and sis are wide awake. So your sis is flying to UK to pursue her doctorate degree on the same day you wheel into UM. What a day! Obviously she's savouring her last night with her bed, that's if she has done packing at this wee hour. As for your mum, well she's doing what all mums would finally do when their children go off: praying and... crying?
Your sis needs prayer, Mr. James, DON'T BABBLE AND WAKE UP!!!
Pray that your sis will have a safe journey, be surrounded by good people and successfully achieve her PhD by the end of three years. Only one steps onto the plane, but she carries the pride, hope and honour of a whole family and many friends. Talking about flights, the post you wrote about her two years ago had tugged a few heartstrings. So will there be another one? Hmm... I see a cheeky smile... =P
Personal info forms? Check. Medical report? Check. Orientation fee? Check. Handsome face? Check. Mental sharpness?
......
Mental sharpness?!?!
......
MENTAL SHARPNESS!!!!!!!
Yes... err.... check?
Oh Mr. James, what else can I say, but to wish you all the best and warn you of my next return...
