The Save and The Destruction

"how can we be so arrogant? the planet is, was, and always will be stronger than us. we can't destroy it; if we overstep the mark, the planet will simply erase us from its surface and carry on existing. why don't they start talking about not letting the planet destroy us?"

"because 'saving the planet' gives a sense of power, action, and nobility. whereas 'not letting the planet destroy us' might lead to feelings of despair and impotence, and to a realisation of just how very limited our capabilities are."

The Bondage

There is nothing so degrading as the constant anxiety about one's means of livelihood. I have nothing but contempt for people who despise money. They are hypocrites or fools. Money is like a sixth sense without which you cannot make a complete case of the other five.

Without an adequate income half of the possibilities of life are shut off. The only thing to be careful about is that you do not pay a shilling more than the shilling you earn. Poverty exposes you to endless humiliation, it cuts your wings, it eats your soul like a cancer. It is not wealth one asks for, but just enough to preserve one's dignity, to work unhampered, to be generous, frank and independent..."

The Month of July

20 - 23 jul 09

went to assist boss at kluang for 4 days. tiring, but something different for a change.

went through some system processes with the new malaysia staffs and helped to re-modelled some of the work instructions.

the photo kinda sums up my working days there.

- projector
- water bottle
- nescafe 3 in 1
- blue pen

all that is missing from the photo are the beers and the durians.












26 jul 09

went to the zoo. and the kenko fish spa at the zoo.

somehow i'm not too keen about animals in captivity.
the leopard and cheetahs look especially sad that day.

the kenko fish spa isn't too bad. and it works. my feet feels smoother already.

The Word

"oblivion" seems to be the best word that describes me now.

the living

don't tell me to accept it and live with it just so you may ignore the problems.

i want to move forward, not back. and right now i feel like i'm moving one small step backwards everyday.

no more progress for now...
