Continuity

What with running the business blog and getting more active on Facebook and Twitter, this poor blog has been very neglected.

Quite a number of fairly major changes over the last year or so, not that I'd care to enumerate them here. I ticked over to 40 some weeks ago - I'd thought that it wouldn't matter, that it'd just be another day, but for unknown reasons, the realisation hit me quite hard. I think it was realisation that things were now finite. I know they've always been finite, but when you're in your 20s and 30s, the finishing line just seems so far away. Apart from this sudden awareness, nothing much seems to have altered. I think I've become calmer, less fixated on things, more open to putting up with changes, whether good or ill.

I dreamed last night of completing some missions with a team which was something like the A-Team, without the over-the-top caricature characters. At the end of the mission, we had to grab some cars from a car yard and effect a quick getaway. I got into a nice, classic looking car and started heading off... only to realise it was manual transmission. Never mind that in real life, I don't drive manual, in this dream, I shifted gears and went on my merry way.

It was also a dream with a nebulous figure whom I felt was important to the story, but for the life of me, couldn't work out who this was. In one of those strange moments in a dream, this person became someone I'd gone to school with back in Malaysia, but it wasn't really him. It was someone else. Bloody dreams!
