GuanAd's Haven

Some dear cousins of mine asked me about my strange posting below. I had - the week before during a underwhelming japanese buffet dinner - told them it was D-day last Tuesday given the salary adjustment briefing. I didn't give a clear explanation over the weekend. And I think I better clear the air.

Yes, I'm promoted. Am I thankful? Certainly. Am I happier? Maybe. Am I satisfied with my life more? NO!

If you read two postings further down, you'll know it's not the July Effect that bogged me down the past few weeks. As fishaball-turned-melancholicjoy pointed out, it could be me tired of work. My dear wife and I now realised that we're too shacked - we're literally working 7 days a week, either in office/school or taking care of our kids. And crap hit the roof just yesterday.

Some young S-O-A-B driving a black mitsubishi Lancer [SGT 8***] pointed the you-know-what finger at me in the carpark. I stared at him for 10 seconds. I contemplated bringing down two of my bowling balls to smash his bloody windscreen. But since he didn't have the guts to come out of the car, I drove off instead. Enough said, that sufficed to ruin my night's out with my wife. While having dinner, I was still thinking if I should go back to scratch his car. Or write to stomp after I smashed his car with my bowling balls. Or called up TP...WTH!

So you see, life after some fleeting joyous moments is tough. Well said Solomon, there's a time for everything. Perhaps I will treat my dear cousins an overwhelming japanese dinner to start things right. And to sit before God and count my blessings in these times of distress.
