Dear R. Tan,

Thank you for your letter of concern, I really appreciate it. In fact, you have succinctly voiced out something that had been bothering me for quite some time - why have I been talking about fish and vanity in this particular blog? Now even the background music sounds wrongfully-matched. However, you could on the other hand try to view it at more than just surface value. Try to see the reasoning behind the entries, the unspoken version of events. In a way, underlying thoughts and problems still do shine through. For example - writing letters to yourself. Yakking about fish. Talking about how vain I was. It all reflects on just one thing - the loneliness. Well, maybe not so much loneliness. Just a feeling of idleness (which, admittedly, is uncalled for, given the list of things I have to do) and even - maybe - a manifestation of escapism.

I will, however, take into serious consideration your excellent proposals to better-segregate the blog topics.

Yours and obviously yours only,
R. Tan
