LOVE WANTED
Had a teh tarik session with Ann while waiting for the jam to subside as the entire KL was flooded.

“… I know what love is. It’s a trick on the brain, the adrenal glands releasing endorphins. It floods the cells that transmit worry and better sense, drowns them with biochemical bliss. You can know all these things about love, yet it remains irresistible, as beguiling as the floating arms of long sleep…” Page 252
