alright guys, it's time for Obligatory Birthday Post again!

it's been a rather trying period, slowly yielding under the strain of the job and trip prep. strangely, i've actually been very punctual for work, though tragically not so much for my IPPT. unfortunately the negative vibes have been very assertive, and i must apologise, particularly to my ever-suffering parents.

and so in my present state of mind it is rather hard to feel or indulge in any form of pseudo-poignant quasi-hopeful soliloquys; i really need to clear my mind, and i hope some time in the land of buddhism, yoga and papadums will bequeath some clarity.

all i want for my birthday this year, is a few days of guiltfree rest.
