Pain…
I’m not really sure how it happened but I sprained one of my left back muscles. It hurts to move in certain ways. It sucks to be in pain this way. Reminded me of the time when I had to get back surgery for a slipped disc. Out for 4 months and no physical activity of any sort for the better part of a year. I lost 10 kilos and enjoyed the heck out of the 4 months away from work (doing what I love best LOL). Alas I gained it all back and then some. Good things never last.
But sucky things last long. Like being stuck in the office or trying to get to sleep but you just can’t. I cannot imagine what prison is like, nor would I want to experience it first-hand.
Anyway, now that the IMF/WB meetings are finally over, perhaps Singapore can get back to normalcy. I miss watching movies or watching Jess be beside herself playing pool at Marina Square. Yeah yeah I know you could go anyway, but the atmosphere sucked.
Anyone think that we as humans tend to think too much? When something out of the ordinary happens, we tend to think of many reasons to explain it, and often these reason are far-fetched or illogical. Often, there is a really simple explanation to it. Why is my daily copy of the newspaper often missing from the cubby-hole? Someone must be stealing them from me! Why is he ignoring me, was it something I said or did? Why is she suddenly being so nice? She must have an ulterior motive.
It’s just like us humans to think too much into things. We love to over-think, over-do, over-analyse. The cynic will tell you you’re naive to accept things at face value. I prefer to want to think of it as being innocent. Or rather the lack of deceit. Kids and young children have that innocence.
Do we as adults, grow up? I dunno, I think I think too much.
No.
I have met many adults with minds of adolescents and vice versa.
And it has been documented in books by Desmond Morris that old folks do lapse into a second childhood.
With regard to kids and young children in Singapore, I wonder. You find these whining demanding tots….
With regard to kids and young children in Singapore, I wonder. You find these whining demanding tots…. Is it a reflection of our society?
Shyue Chou, I checked out ur blog, I gotta say I envy you. I envy you cuz you have talent (those sketches are bleeding awesome). I envy people with talent cuz I have none LOL…
Anyway I was kinda reflecting on how 2 kids would treat each other. Ever seen say a bunch of pre-school kids, walking in pairs to some place? I’ve observed them and when 2 kids treat each other nice, my mind’s eye sees no second-guessing.
Yes, the IMF-invaded-atmosphere sucked, big time. Now we can all get on with our lives.
Thanks Slasher Arcana for your kind words. However, I have been drawing for over 30 years. It’s more practice and passion than talent.
Yes, I know what you mean with regard to children at play. Especially pre-schoolers.
Alas, my 2 passions in life (conversation and computer gaming) aren’t as “produceable” as yours sigh…
Well, I have a passion for computer gaming too. Completing a game is a personal achievement, you know that.
I finished Oblivion, TitanQuest, Sacred, Sacred Underworld in the last four months. They were great. I am questioning myself if I wanted to finish Dungeon Siege 2 which has so far been a total bore!
