I hit the plateau again. Just like drought preventing harvest, I could not reap anymore inspiration other than pretending this entry as another well-deserved and timely post on this blog.
I wonder why. Maybe it’s the books I am currently reading or have just finished reading. I read about famous people these days. I just finished Steve Jobs, just in time to have a sense of what makes 3G iPhone such a big deal when it was first launched on July 11th 2008. I was in Auckland at that time and I witnessed the first ever person to buy an iPhone in the world, due to Auckland GMT of +12. He queued for 55 hours with his sleeping bag, a red bean bag, a laptop and some food outside the shop before making his personal historic feat. I wonder what sense of accomplishment he must have felt as I am certainly a nobody when it comes to technology hence it was quite difficult for me to understand. I supposed it was the same feeling I felt when my best friend and I queued up for Faye Wong’s meet-the-fans session in Mid Valley, KL in 2004. Unfortunately, we were not the firsts or among the firsts. But when Faye extended her hand and I shook it, it was a certain sense of accomplishment for me, to have made it there, to have such a close proximity encounter with my dear idol.
I am also reading an autobiography of Ms Aung San Suu Kyi and my mind seems to be stimulated again. Already I have thought out a list of books to read and something about male psyche is not among them I only have interest in life and people in general. Hope my list of books will pull me out of this drought soon.
