I'm back.
In more ways than one. Which might not mean the best though. But you don't know that. Or do you?
First update: Another chapter in my life has ended.
On the 20th of October 2013, I went through another break-up. To most of you, this might seem like a small matter, others might see it like a huge thing.
This, to date, is my longest continued relationship with a significant other. Which is pretty good.
To be honest, I am actually very thankful that you have been a part of my life for this time. But things came to be, and we are not meant to be.
Looking back, this relationship became somewhat poisonous, but lets take it as a learning process and an experience no one other will have just the same.
Thank you dear.

Next chapter: BERLIN!
Finally, after countless years (I laugh at myself) I finally get to go to Germany! WOHOO!
The land of engineering was much to expectations. Accuracy was impeccable. The people was dead-serious. The sausages were cheap, and the alcohol... wow. Just, wow.
Bauhaus makes more sense when you visit it in person. The little details were thought through in so many layers. Great.
I need to get back there. Somehow. And learn more German.
The people that I was fortunate enough to travel with was also great. Amazing roommates, pleasant travel companions, and expressive photographic subjects. Friendly, adventurous, quirky, cheeky, and really really fun to travel with. A great big shoutout to SABD Activity Week Berlin 2013 Travellers, you guys and gals were the best.
Disappointments: I did not get to Munich. I did not see a BMW dealership, or any for that matter. I did not see a sports shot, and therefore could not get a German football jersey. I didn't get to cycle. I didn't get to drive. I didn't get to meet any locals properly.
Bucket-list is expanding.
Next chapter: Dear Aivern.
Your departure on my return was untimely. But then again life was harsh on you. I cannot actually blame you on that. Not really.
I wish you a safe journey to the other side, and that I wish you are happy there. I wish your parents good health and good fortune, and I hope your brother is well. We will all miss you. You have touched us all with your determination up till now. Please take care.
May the Lord claim your soul. And lead you to a better place. Amen.

Lastly, of reboot.
My mental state has been erratic lately. The lack of a break is also not helping much. Germany did help though. But Kuala Lumpur is a very harsh place. And it also doesn't help that you still cling to that which you have thrown away. Mixed messages confuse me. Oh well.
Goodnight people. My room is now spotless. Sleep will be awesome. If I can get some.
Honestly, I haven't been getting any since many years ago. I cannot dream. I cannot sleep well. Germany was the closest I could get back into normal sleep. But back here, I guess I shall live a hollowed life.
