Weekend

It's weekend again. Another day to chil outl a bit. Sometimes being alone can be real relaxing, not having to follow anyone's pace. Yesterday while doing a jog in town, I felt so much peace. There were so many questions playing in my mind. I have this habit of thinking alot whenever I was alone doing nothing, for instance when I had a driver driving me to some far locations, jogging, lying on the beach or near the river, etc. There won't be an answer but it simply came to the conclusion to all the questions whether I like what I was doing at that moment. I guess most of the time I would put up a smile in the end of the thinking session and that's really a grateful remark.

This morning, I don't know what drew me to it, but I started reading on politics which is going on in the country. I am not a big fan of politics here. But everytime I read the local news on the internet, it breaks the heart (er... yea, it's that fragile, ahaha). What seems to be harmony 20 years ago was no more existed today. I remembered living in a multiracial neighbourhood and people were nice to each other. We played with each other and went to houses celebrating occasions together. It's just a simple neighbourhood with simple people practising simple cutures. Now, people are going even more backwards than 50 years ago. You have once again a place where there are majorities and minorities. I thought the DEB supposed to scale out all the differences and to arrange a better mixture of races in all places? Nevermind, but now there are some of these majorities not allowing the minorities to even have their own temple built in with the excuse that they are the majorities. What a shallow and selfish thought. There is just too much YOU and ME, but where's WE and US? Ok, full stop.

When I was in the kitchen this afternoon, I realized the front sandal stripe just gave way. So, basically, the sides are still intact. I tried using it as hard as I could. But it still didn't work. It's so difficult to move around! That again hit me. The leader is really important in any organization. Even how well and intact/loyal the side stripes are (the servants), without the front stripe (the leader), the sandals are useless. So, if you want to correct the roots, start from the top. If you have a lousy leaders, buy another pair of sandals, ahaha... is that easy?

Well, we had the choir session last Friday at the office in the effort to improve the English proficiency among the staff. I know I know it sounds dictatorial, but it's for everyone's welfare. I don't get paid extra to do all these extra non-working related stuff. But I am glad that everyone participated and so obedient. The purpose of this event is actually to build up the confidence and teamwork among all the staff. I always think that they could do better and I am also glad that it had fostered a better relationship among the staff. Or was it a delusion, ahahaha...

Ok, I will be off for a holiday soon. Gonna go back hometown for a while, but that doesn't mean an easy one. Usually that would be even busier than during my working time here. Thought of organizing a reunion with some old friends. See how la. Adios!
