yeah....Things will only get better

Was pleasantly surprised to receive a call from D.

The last time we met was way back in NUS, probably 1st year. However, our association goes back to our Ai Tong and Catholic High days. He's currently working in Hong Kong.

" Learnt about the breakup, hope that things really got better for you :)"

I paused for a moment. I have been pretty low key about this issue. It wasn't too long ago when it happened and only people that are close to me would have gotten wind of it. But nevertheless, as I've learnt. never underestimate the power of the internet.

D tried to converse in Cantonese. I would have expected it to be of a higher standard considering the fact that he's been in HK for like 2 years already? But I was wrong, terribly wrong. I still stand by my assessment that I speak much better Cantonese.. ahha....

I have never proclaimed to be extremely smart. In fact, the various errors in my entries testify to this. And it's simply not me to try to post something "intellectual". I enjoy using my brain and thinking about stuff, but my world never comes to stand still when I'm in the process of "thinking". As much as thoughts and ideological debates are important, what's more crucial is that it must be practical. Otherwise, thoughts will just remain as , thoughts, however "brilliant" they may seem.

I prefer to make things happen, to see to it that things happen. My brain is working overtime, but I ain't smart. Just sufficient to get by and just sufficient to enjoy the fruits of my hardwork. My brain works for me and I work for my brain. When I work I use my brains, I "include" my brains in whatever I do. I don't stop working just to think. And I certainly cannot "think" to work.

Never take anything for granted.

Including your brains. Learn to appreciate them for they have served you well and they will continue to serve you well as you continue to love and to nuture them.

Differences in terms of thought processes shouldn't be described as "dumb" or "stupid". I must confess out of frustration I have labelled some as above, haven't we? Apologies for that.

Having the "rights" and "access" to a brain that is"functioning" properly is definitely a privillege.

I'm grateful for my freinds and my brain.
