I was feeling really sick yesterday when i was in Amsterdam, i practically dragged myself to Brussels on a morning train. Thankgod Ding and Shing were with me, concerning words and company exactly what a sick bird like me needs.
I was planning to crash immediately after arrival, however,i can get into the room until after 2:30pm and it was only 11:30... so i went for a walk and treat myself to a good yummy dinner at one of the cheaper restaurant. The setting was really welcoming, although slightly cramped. you will the the video later after i load them! and you tell me whether you agree with me.
It has been quite a while since i have lunch alone on a 2 seaters! Anyway, i was really uncomfortable at first being the only Asian,and i asked for a english menu for their drinks and the waiter said it is the same, coke is coke -_- i can feel the french couple beside me laughing... =/
anyway, after a while i grew comfortable with it and start noticing the people around me. there are about 10 tables in the room, mine is the back round with 4 tables and 3 each in the rows infront. the table on my left is a table with 3 ladies in their 40s or 50s.. happily chatting away... the table on in front of them is 2 ladies just figuring out where to go and what to do.. the table after that consists of a white lady and a black girl around 40 years old, i suppose they are related somehow, they seems really happy making pictures and all that! Not forgetting the couple on my left and a lady on their right alone just like me...
The thing that gets me to start noticing the people around me was the couple right in front of me, maybe in their 60s... there's no conversation between them, i was facing the husband, he was just looking around, or rather finding something to look at... and i thought o myself.. is it possible that the person that you though you love and married one day has nothing to say to you? what keeps the relationship going then? that further strength my belief that if you can feel comfortable in someone's presence without words and felt like you have the best conversation, that is someone you wanna keep in your life...
this private time also alongs me to look at what do i want to be, do and have in my life. I am a quarter century years old now, tomorrow and for the next week i will write my next quarter plan (inspired by my brand value professer Yemih Salman)
sadly that i didnt get to try to waffle nor chocolate nor the wine, i am just too sick to move, i am coghing every 5 seconds and i hate this feeling! =S i just feel like going back to singapore right now!
