The maelstrom of the mind

Well this is quite a random post, but I am inclined to write something on this without any particular direction other than that my mind dictates at the second. Pretty soon they're going to be showing 'A Beautiful Mind' on Channel 5, which is one of my favourite movies because it places some level of emphasis on social interaction and genius, which borders and crosses into mental illness. My question, whenever I see this movie is, in fact, how many other people have a similar affliction? Genius really does border on insanity, and I think smart people are generally more predisposed to developing mental illness, most notably depression. John Nash, while an exceptional person in the film and real life, is not unique in his illness. The question is how wide this problem really is.

Tonight i'm gonna head on over to the hawker stalls opposite Beauty World and indulge in some pricey Prata, etc. I suggest one of the stalls in the middle, as the ones on the end aren't as good. I don't know any names, though. The tandoori chicken is quite nice, although the one at The Soup Spoon in Raffles City is nicer. I am a big tandoori chicken fan, which is saying a lot given the fact I don't really like much in the Indian food department. Prata is always decent, although nothing compares with what you can get over in Malaysia. I miss the days in KL when I had access to all sorts of great Curries. TG's in Bukit Bintang had a great Portuguese Devil's Curry which compared moderately well to that served down in Malacca. I also miss Nando's... God I do! The peri-peri sauce is amazing. It all makes me wanna head up north to M'sia before I go back west for the holidays....

Speaking of trips to the west, i'm going to have to go off to VivoCity soon and buy a few sweaters for my trip to the colder regions of the world back in the USA. I saw a few nice sweaters at FOX and maybe Gant as well, so i'll have to look into those options. I'd buy Gap, but it's cheaper back in America so I will forego it here. I also need to go get my haircut by my oh-so-metro-yet-straight hairdresser at Hair Profile in Far East Plaza. It's pricier than my last frequented salon, but he does what I want him to do so it's worth the extra S$10.

Anyhow, that's enough of my aimless wanderings for this time around, maybe i'll come up with something substantive in a short time.
