Standing & Independance 8:10 am

This entry has 2 subjects, rather unrelated but heck.

Standing!
About to start Day 3 of work. The thought of standing for 8 hours is already causing discomfort in my poor feet. But the prospect of relishing in the satisfaction of closing a deal is invigorating. Fathoming the thought of rich Indon families and ang mohs who don't check price-tags before purchase gets the jealousy-meter rising too.

Independence
"Claiming oneself to be independent, for most people, would just be a short-term inability to recognise our intrinsic interdependence."

To make such a claim is bold, I admit. But that's how it formed in my head so early this morning. Do drop your comments if you wish. I may elaborate on it further.

Essentially, we are all dependent in the long-run, on our environment and people. It is possibly that our egos are creating this short-term myopia, making us emphatically trumpeting that we are independent individuals.

The Happy Stranger challenges you to think about this.

Liberation!!! 11:28 am

Dental Liberation!
Yes! After 4 years, my braces are finally off! Just this morning.

Liberation through memories revisited
Last evening I had dinner with Roger, J Liew and a few of us from the SJI EXCO. Something that was so integral in my formation and development, finally revisited after about 4-odd years.

It was reaffirming and warming. To see where we came from, and how far we've come. And possibly a glimpse of times to come.

Revisits from beautiful memories sometimes provides clarity to the uncertainty-marred future. Yesterday's Muthu's Curry dinner and nydc-dessert helped in correcting that ubiquitous doubt.

The Happy Stranger did get happier.

Off to work!...again.
