This weekend was a good experience. Camping out in Pasir Ris beach in tents, having the boys' tent flood because the tent wasn't build to withstand the apocalypse weather that raged its way through half the night, swimming in the sea ( the water is saltier than I thought), going for long walks and eventually watching the sunrise was the experience of a lifetime I would never forget. 

I haven't been that happy in a long time. I haven't had the chance to experience something like that in a long while- the peace, tranquillity, and having as much time as I needed to sit and talk with my friends. Most of all, I treasured the freedom I had over time that night, to just walk away from the noise, to just sit down at the wooden benches and to just spend the night quietly reflecting and sharing the happy moments is but a rare opportunity. 

But right now, things aren't going to change. ' It's a step, a baby step, but it's a step', said Atticus from To Kill a Mockingbird. So baby steps we will take, because in the long run, we'd be happy to have made the best decisions and choices. And be happy in the future. 

And in the past 1 hour, I've been thrown into confusion, snapped, broken down, and been cheered up significantly. And I foresee a few more mental breakdowns without saying a word. Won't be hard to do I suppose, seeing as I've done it before and that will serve to make my stronger, I hope.
