Seeking Balance in hectic demands

I am back in Singapore, clearing all the work on my off day i.e. Mon... somehow, the moment anyone touches Singapore, we can't escape from the hectic lifestyle and demands this country brings...Somehow, I often wish Singaporean lifestyle is likened some of the European countries... less hectic, more balanced, more space for us to seek and find what life truly is.

At the Bali airport, as usual was browsing thru the bookstores.. and came across this real life story : " A Patch of Paradise - a woman's search for a real life in Bali". Discovered later it's one woman who was tired of the hectic and busy city life and exchanged all that for a hut on a tropical beach. Tired of the everyday grind, and how she and her family built their home in what they called the Paradise - a hut in Bali...

So finally bought that book..and can't wait to discover what her dream of escape was...
