Ranting Overdue
The past 3 months has been sort of a whirlwind. Business travel, work, CNY, more business travel and a quarter of 2007 is gone! In between, we went to the Hospital of Life - Gleneagles, twice - and the Hospital of Gloom - at the fringe of town, numerous times - because of my grandmum. I came to formulate this theory that your life actually accelerates when you're getting older. Does that make me an Einstein?
I fear my working life has slipped into a routine. Even bowling has somehow lost its lustre on me. When you wake up dreading what's going to happen at the next 5 meetings ahead in the day...when you sleep thinking what's going to happen at the 5 meetings the next day...is there any end to this? Argh! Ad nauseum!
Thankfully, my two adorable boys helped break the routine with their unpredictable temperament and decisions on what (tidbits) to eat and where to sleep at night - daddy/mummy's house or grandma/granddad's house? They live for such decisions. I hope I could too.
Yet, it's that exciting time of the year when (a) I'd be expecting the piece of paper for the work I put in last year, (b) I'm supposed to transfer to another division but the current state of affairs is still in a flux, (c) I'm supposed to share the gospel on 8 Apr.
Exciting times yet routinely at work! What paradox!
Speaking about gospel and paradox, I read a ST article on R Dawkins' book, the God Delusion. He's an Oxford biologist, an atheist who debunks religion/faith with his scientific views. This reminds me of Einstein's famous quote that "science with religion is lame and religion without science is blind". Being lame or blind - which is the greater evil? I don't know but at least I'm dead sure Jesus "makes the lame to walk again and cause the blind to see".
A paradoxical life at this juncture calls for some verbal - or literal - vomit as per above, so please pardon me while I detox-ed.
