Well...finally I got my first blog going...and my first post up...feeling a sense of satisfaction I should say...I've been wanting to do this a little while ago...finally got down to getting it up...I can really get used to this...ha ha...feels a little strange though...putting my thoughts where everybody can view them...
Been feeling pretty restless recently (could it be due to the lack of sleep?)...finally I've completed my part-time studies (1 of my 3 resolutions 4 years? ago...what's the point of setting resolutions when you know you won't get down to fulfilling them?) That's it...those are the only resolutions I've set myself (and fulfilled 2 of them...the 3rd is really more of a material want....and therefore...immaterial)...well...now that my studies are more or less at an end...I'm finally able to pursue other interests...and yet...I'm not feeling that sense of achievement that I thought I would ever since I've had plans in my head and raring to start my own pursuits after completion of my studies....it's starting to disturb me...what is it about humans and the rat-race they inadvertantly get caught up in? What's Life really all about? Is it pursuing your dreams one after another...how to make that first million...how to get to know that guy/girl u fancy...how to make enough to get that Gucci/Prada/LV whatnots....

Hmm...for me I think it is really a couple of factors...the biggest of which is to be thankful for health that I'm able to open my eyes every morning and see my loved ones...my family...my friends....that I'm able of body and sound of mind to do things which I love doing....to learn to be content with what I have...to learn that happiness is not about being able to afford that expensive bag in the display window...rather, it's knowing I'm loved and will be missed when I'm not around...to be at peace with myself...to be able to sleep when I want to...(ha ha that's a luxury I'm not able to afford at the moment) well...I can go on and on...
I guess....it's really a lifelong lesson...or reminder...humans are such that they're terribly forgetful creatures...they need to be reminded every so often...or they get so caught up in their own pursuits that they're blinded to everything else...well I'm no exception...in lieu of the 911 incident a person once said: "in the light of such terrible tragedy people unite together...it brings out the best in them...they show compassion...unity...they do things for others...and when it's all over...they forget...and if a tragedy strikes again...the same things happen...humans are forgetful"
