Get Lost Jason Quek 01 May 2005 Has it ever happened to you where everything is going well in your life, but one day, for no particular reason, you wake up and there's this empty feeling in everything around you, and in you. What is it to live life without direction? Not knowing what is going to happen tomorrow? Weightless and maybe. It is 3 a.m. and I am watching Lost In Translation, which doesn't quite help the situation, but at this time, it seemed like the only thing I could watch. It is such a lonely movie - desperately lonely - but at the same time... I don't know... I want to travel. I want to have not a care in the world. I want to be Charlotte. I want to sit at the window, high above the city, in total silence, and watch the world below move without me. I want to get lost. I want to just walk and walk and walk. Without purpose, without aim. Where no one knows me, and no one cares. "Let's never come here again, because it would never be as much fun." I keep looking out of my window, and it's really a pretty scene at night. Futile street lamps line a road no one travels at this time. Across the road, I can see the ironic Japanese school. The university, I never attended, yet strangely familiar, nestled in the hills behind. If I squint hard enough, I can make out the PSA building far away. The lights of the port rob the night sky of its rightful darkness, washing it brown, red and orange. The movie has ended and all is quiet. Even my fishes are sleeping. The sun is about to rise. And I am so tired. But I don't want to sleep. It is a strangely beautiful and lonesome night and I don't want it to end. 3448 page views
