The Book of Answers

I've been feeling restless again. Could it be the air in Spore? Or maybe it's all the Feng Shui master's talk about it being a good year for those born in the year of the monkey to travel. I've been itching to leave. Again.

At this stage nothing seems concrete, it's too silly a notion to consider just quiting my cushy job with no alternative. I've got bills to pay and my mouth to feed. But this past half a year has subjected me once again to new levels of revelations i never thought possible. True to my usual unpredictable neurotic nature, i asked a good friend to recommend me for a job in HK. Again.

Not sure whether i am going down the right track, i decided to consult a very unlikely advisor, a book which a friend bought for me as a joke a few years ago. The acclaimed author, Carol Bolt, has made a tiny fortune from one liner answers which put good friends' advice to shame. My favourite answers are 'Yes' and "No', something which many friends and loved ones refuse to voice out for fear of insulting my pride with blunt directness. Carol must have spent many nights mulling over which of the two: 'Laugh About It' or 'Use your Imagination', is a better answer and probably decided to just have both in her book. Either way, sometimes one liners are the best advice when drawn out conversations just leave one wanting and more confused.


This might just be the answer i'm looking for. Just maybe. Again.
