time
Realised there is so much I want to do but so little time. So many things seem so interesting but it takes time to learn. It back to how we manage our time - giving up things which are less important. It is hard, isn't it? =(

after 5 months
this blog has been dysfunctional for quite a while now. 2 friends reminded me that they followed my blog. Dearie told me my blog entries with mention of him, always make his day.
I think as I grow older, there seems lesser need to "externalise" what I think and feel. Alot of my thoughts and feelings are either "internalised" or I will simply text them to dearie. He gets the brunt of all my frustrations and complaints and of course, the first I will share my joy with.
And I think there are alot of ways to shrug off stress and dissatisfaction; blowing off your top and blarring out at those around you seems the most uncool thing to do. It is immature to pass needless comments - it only exposes your lack of depth. I think playing the piano is a good way to divert attention onto something less intellectual. I think running is a good way to help dissipate some of the negative energy.
It seems that I have stopped updating the books on my read list. I think I managed to cover quite a number of books and I'm pretty proud of that. I think one of the best ways to find out about things is to read on it. Find diverse opinion on a subject matter, before you draw your conclusion on it.
I have been reading quite a few books on Lee Kuan Yew recently. Apart from knowing him as one of Singapore's founding fathers and reading generally unkind comments of him on the internet, I have not known much about him.After reading a couple of books and having watched the interviews with him, I am full of respect. I am still intrigued with how this great man is wired, hence having finished another book on him today, I have another 2 more books lined up next. I am dreaming if it will ever be possible to meet him in person. Just to shake his hand and tell him I admire his grit and express thanks for how he has built Singapore.
