This is a reminder for myself. Value the fact that I have a wholesome family I can depends on. While the broken ones do breed the strong, I must be content that I have more than someone to fall back on.
Value this I must, and pass it to my children, and their children.
4 month into working, lots of advice from a lot of people, but somehow, I am not sticking to my own principle in life already.
This have to stop.
Do things my way, the right way, the hardworking way, the righteous way, the truthful way, the focus way.
I was at Japanese Media Arts Festival in Singapore 2008 today (by myself, alone, only 1 person, among a lot of young couples, etc) and there's this one exhibit that kept me looking it for the whole half hour.
The piece is know as The Archangel. It compose of parts inspired by traditional Japanese puppet, animal, insects and of course, the angel. While others just see it as an art piece of blending Japanese culture and Western religion, I can't help to ask this question that I have always wanted to put upon my acquaintance who believe in Christianity or Catholic.
Are we the creation of god, or are we the one who created the so-called Creator?
When you read this, my friend, search deep into your heart, tell me what your mind, and not your faith or your obligation, tell you about the answer to this question. I have no intention to hear the answer from you, as you who read this know the actual purpose of the blog. All I want you all to do, is do a little brain-storming on your own sometime.
I have the answer myself, and this exhibit just confirmed the answer for me, at least for now.
OK, I'm 27 today, a nice multiple of 3, cube of 3.
Quite special this year, I have received the smallest ever birthday present from lou ma zi, just 20 bucks for the routine. On the contrary, I've gotten myself some over-priced CD because HMV suddenly decide to sell them cheaper by 1/3 all of a sudden.
At work, I got some more figurines to doll up my desk, totalising to a number 3 at the small corner of my cubical. My gay colleague was telling me to put it on top of the monitor, but I rather not since the last things I want is to see them fall from height. And guess what, just nice there are 3 December birthday boys/girls in this circle of friends at work.
3 short paragraphs, lots of '3' in the 3 short verse. Just nice to celebrate this birthday of a child who is born on the 3rd.
