Hiatus

So the long hiatus is over. I am back. Again.

After just over a year since my last post, why did I decide to make a comeback? It's probably one's need to be heard or to be felt. Maybe writing (or typing for that matter) is a form of subconscious therapy, to pour out one's thoughts before actually resulting in self-implosion. Maybe it is to share the goodness or spread the evil to their readers. Or rather, maybe it is just another manifestation of somebody's attempt to grab attention.

Should I participate in a songwriting contest? Ideas are flowing in my head like the Niagara Falls dumping people hiding in barrels. I couldn't help but reminiscence about the very first song I wrote over a year ago. The words of cheesiness never fail to make me cringe like a hamster in hibernation. People actually said it was not bad. Maybe in-depth reviewing and re-writing is needed.

I noticed parents (namely my brother and sis-in-law) are prone to repeating verbs twice in a sentence when baby-talking to their kid. Example: 'Come sit sit on the carpet here.' or 'Ask xiao shu shu (small uncle aka me) to play play cars with you!'. It also occurred to me that I'm a passive baby-pleaser. I wait for them to come to me rather than putting myself in a vulnerable position of being rejected by a 2 year old.

My weak heart would not have been able to handle that.
