Its been a long time since I saw Tabo.

The last time I asked him out, he was so tired from work that he suffered a concussion in bed. So it was great to see him again and an even better gesture from him to ask me out. We have a long but compressed history. A lot happened in a very short time.

I cannot help smiling the moment I saw him emerge from the train station. You know the feeling you got when you saw your parents after 2 weeks of confinement in Tekong? Its a realisation that after suffering so much from all the disciplined circuit training, gym training, obstacles course trainings, clicks after clicks of running, the mental stress don't matter anymore. If going through all that means a chance to talk to someone who "gets it", its more than worth every braincell burst.

Its great to have people without hidden agendas around. No beating around the bush, no hidden meanings, no need to be tactful, frank and straight forward answers. There isn't a need to be on your guard. And Tabo is more than that.

Lately I've been working on a lot of assignments. I'm not one to stress out but its tiring. (maybe i need to settle down) A good catch-up will format my mental harddisk (at least temporarity). I'll burn my work folder into a thumbdrive. Reinstall my OS later. And copy the folder back after that.

Tabo: I'm going to Japan.
Me: !!! What?! When?! Who?! Why?!
T: Early next month. With a colleague. I'll be there on training for 3 weeks.
M: *relief* I thought I've lost you as well.
T: Don't be crazy.
M: Do you think the Japs will describe feng shui as "KAWAII" or "OEISHI"? No maybe it will be "SODESHNAE" (i have hardly any idea what these terms mean)

So we were catching up at the coffeeshop and I noticed the new library. Its transparent. I didn't go to inspect the general architecture, but my guess is that its see-through from the other side as well.

I have never liked transparent buildings. I'm sure many you have heard about the expression "like a knife right through" when the main door of a house aligns with an opening at the back. Energy entering will run right through the main door and out by the back which such force that it is deemed harmful.

If a knife is use to describe that, a fork will be used to describe see through buildings. It may be pleasing to the eyes and look unique in a way, but its bad feng shui even if the building has a good facing with favourable energy entering. Would you want a Ferrari to slow down when it passes right beside you or zips right pass at 250km/h?

I don't know the layout of fittings in the library, but I hope they are laid out somewhat curved so as to slow down the energy that will enter from the see through sides. You don't want energy that surges right though a building. However, there are no residents there.

And spare some thought for the ladies in minis. If they were to pick up a book near the sides, coffee shop chit-chat will come to a stanstill. The only chit chat in the moment of time freeze will be "white or pink?".
