Light... I pray....

As I lay me down to sleep,
Light I pray for my eyes to peep,
When my eyes doth open wide,
So that the future I may view!

Randomness...

There's this air of restlessness around me today. I wonder what's up with it because while I have tonnes of work waiting to be done, I can't seem to get down to doing it.

There's like so many things that I wanna do, that's floating around in my head. I can't help but feel that I'm not anchored enough to achieve any of it. Perhaps its time again for me to get back down to earth and embed my feet firmly into the ground, and to remind myself that there's serious things to do. No more fooling around.

Adapted from The Economist

Anyway, read The Economist today and it said that the global economy seems to have hit rock bottom. But no one knows what the recovery process is like. V, U or W... it's gonna be a rocky road up.

That's interesting because some how deep down in my gut, I can't help but think that the worse is yet to come. With the time lags for action / reaction in the international economic borders, we're not there yet. We have perhaps not reached the depth of what U.S. felt 3-6 months back. But then again, with the China economy helping to 'hold up' the impact of recession, perhaps Asia was not meant to feel that depth.

I guess nobody really knows.

Argh... I rather be thinking about frivolous things at this point of my restlessness. I need new motivation! Rain on me!

Life Light...

Work's been tough lately... But then again I tell myself that it's the same for everyone, especially in such market conditions.

However, it's in times like this that one keeps looking towards the sense of gratification in what one does... It is often asked, where is it?

It sure takes alot of perserverance to strive. Life is like a game of mahjong - Work at your cards, you might get a half color out of it. With some luck, you might get some flowers which aid your games. With the right players, they might help you to achieve a full color game. WITHOUT both, luck and the right people around you, you can forget about getting anywhere...

My whole life seems like a 1/2 double game, made out of own effort... Just waiting to meet the right people and the right timing for the opportunity and the luck...

Where are they?

Woes...

In my mind's eye, I can't help but see this HUGE dark gloomy shadow that is hovering above the world right now.

On a global scale, nothing sounds positive and in the instances where there is a glimmer of hope, the situations feel like an uphill task, trudging along a significant depth of sludge....

Was reading the papers today and I feel sadden by the articles that are appearing in the news. No doubt the media provides a pin hole through which consumers peer through, I can't help but imagine that this pin hole is only a pin hole (as what a pin would depict). Trying to get a grasp of the world picture would be something that is UNIMAGINABLE...

On a micro-level, articles I read this morning were sharing stories of families in financial trouble, kids who are unable to go to school due to money woes, children going through sexual abuse, financial scams cheating folks of their life savings, incessant increment of unemployment rate, loss of homes... What more is there... I wonder...

With conditions like these, I can't help reminding myself every single day to count my little blessings... To thank God for whatever that He has laid before me... To take the good with the bad because my 'bad' is not the worst...

And to everyone I know... Thanks for being a part of my life... You guys make up who I am... =)
