It’s really such a cool word when you think about it. We understand its meaning today as “a break”, a pause in whatever you’re doing with the understanding that you’ll get back to it some day. Soon, preferably.

The Latin origins of the word are even more impressive, in its simplicity. The root word is hiare, that is, to gape or yawn. Presumably, you take a hiatus, a short break, when you’re surprised, or in wonderment, or just plain tired.

This year so far has been one filled with surprises and wonders, many good, some really bad, and it has all left me truly tired about a lot of things. Of course, the irony is that this blog has taken an extended hiatus of almost two years now, and it is time I got back to it.

But just not yet. =)

That being said, I am currently involved in a project called HereBeGeeks.com, which feeds my passion for sharing Singaporean geek culture with the world. So find me there in the meantime, until I have a more specific use for this blog, my first love.

I’ve been having a spate of strange, unrelated dreams recently, and I’m really curious what it all means. Is it my creativity going into overdrive? A portal into an alternate universe to see all the going-ons of my other selves? A result of watching dozens of episodes of Stargate Universe, Fringe and Sanctuary back to back? Who knows.

I don’t remember the previous ones, but the latest one hit a whole new level of strange.

I was part of a group of young people but I can’t remember why they got together. Maybe it was a camp or something. Whatever it was, I was hanging out with this girl (there’s ALWAYS a woman involved) and getting rather close. Next thing I know, it is discovered her father has passed away under mysterious circumstances and the police and the media suspect me.

I know, right? Strange things happen to alterna-Petes.

Well, I woke up before the story continued… but I’m now going to have to keep a notepad and pen with me. These dreams are priceless!

This blog may be all but dead, but that’s no reason why I can’t direct newcomers to our parish’s youth blog!

Hahahaha.

Thought from this morning: Never tell a girl that she’s the most beautiful person you’ve ever seen in your life, because fourteen years later, you may bump into her and realise that the claim still holds true.
