Random thoughts in a mixed up mind

Streats
Does anyone still remember Streats? My daily breakfast read till it's death sentence after the merger of the media. Somehow the word Streats had been forgotten like many things in History. Looking closely at Today today...the word Streats is gone forever...

Like Chained Elephants
Yeah...was reading Today during my breakfast in solitude @ Tanjong Pagar Market. "Working Like Chained Elephants" was it's title. Yeah...the elephants are back in the press...just that they are not white and disappearing this time round. Duh!! (okay okay lame joke)
Are we really working like Chained Elephants? Repeating our work tasks day after day chained to our desk? We have heard so much about SOHO, Teleworking since many years ago. But how many companies are actually practising it? I have yet to hear anyone I know working from home daily uless if they are the boss. But then again...they will still be popping by the office everyday to ensure no one is skiving.... I guess we are afterall not mature enough to handle such an 'advance' concept. Remember, we still require the Men In White to tell us what we can watch and cannot watch on TV or in the movies? We still require the MIW to tell us what creativity is all about and teach creativity as a subject in the schools? Hmm...humans afterall do not have faith or trust in one another. Hmmm...as long as you are not at your desk and the boss cannot see you, you must be skiving...

Work overtime and be Promoted
One must always know how to impress your bosses...like sending an email to your boss late after office hours...Oh yah...time to send out an important email to the boss....hahaha...

U.C.V

C
The carrot in front of the horse to make it run faster...Hmm..a carrot in front of the man to make him work harder...

V
V for Vendetta...a thought provoking movie and definitely on my best movie list this year. An ingenious movie with clever and witty lines makes the show so impressionable...

"Who are you?"
"Who? Who is but the form following the function of what... and what I am is a man in a mask."
"I can see that."
"Of course you can. I'm not questioning your powers of observation, I'm merely remarking on the paradox of asking a masked man who he is."

"Behind the mask is a man, behind the man is an idea and ideas are bulletproof."

U
Upgrading, the Carrot before the Vote...what's new this time? Lifting the Whip? Let's see...

No vote no honey, people...I wonder if those in the alternative wards pay less tax...


=> V: People should not be afraid of their governments, governments should be afraid of their people. <=

多少次的寂寞挣扎在心头
只为挽回我将远去的脚步
多少次我忍住胸口的泪水
只是为了告诉我自己
我不在乎

To forgive is to forget...

Hmm..maybe the title is a bit harsh but this is an issue that I have been grabbling with for a while. Do we have to forget before we can forgive? Or do we have to forgive before we can forget? So many things happened in the pass few months... some closer to my life...some revolving in the world around me.

Yet to find enlightenment.

Ommmm.......

以惡制暴？以德報怨？以和為貴？

Ommmm.......

Guilty until proven innocent? Innocent until proven guilty?

Hmmm....

Is it the primate nature of an animal for human to decide the life and death of another human? Or is it another of human's invention of justice just like the invention of monogamy or polygamy system? The self righteous justifications of jihad or a normal life?

Hmmm....

I think I'm a nut case....

A New Beginning....

Finally the Lunar New Year holidays come to an end and everything is back to clockwork.

Today also mark the first day of work at the new office. Hmm...feeling a little loss and intimidated. Kinda miss the old colleagues...kind of lonely with most of the new colleagues much older than me. When being introduced to them..they must all be wondering what is this young boy doing here...Haha..feel like I'm in an old folks home! Just kidding ;-) Guess I'm now in a different playing field in my working life. Now I'm suppose to be playing with the big boys...hahaha

Importance...

I guess it is really true that one man's meat may be another's poison. What is important to you may not be important or even deem trivial to another...I guess to each his own. Maybe it's always me and my failure to communicate...

Well, today is 正月初七-人日. It's also 立春. Spring actually starts today.The NEW year finally arises...
