I am going back to School

Just 2 more weeks and I will be a productive member of society!

At least that will curb my sleepy head routine

It feels like I am going back to the days as a student

Dreadful early morning wake up calls!

I will be attending the "School of Hard Knocks"

will be going down tomorrow to sign on the dotted line

Being a Klutz,

I really need all the wisdom & favour to keep the job for at least a year

Friends out there do send a flower basket or card to Wish me Luck!

My Address is :

X XXXXXX XXXXX

Singapore XXXXXX

just kidding

I am currently reading a book about an analysis of Japanese Culture and Society titled Japan - through the looking glass by Alan Macfarlane.



Some excerpts from the book from the section People:
"The full period of full adulthood, attained very late according to the Japanese ideas, is short."
"A child is only half an adult at 15, 80% an adult at 20, and becomes fully responsible at about 28."
"Having gone through 5 of the 12 year cycles of life, at 60 you retire and become a child again, with all the freedom that implies."
"Childhood is wild, loose; the middle part is contained and restrained and selfless. In old age and retirement you are free and unconstrained again."




My Household contains of A Child, A Soon to be Child and a Soon to be Adult :P

what will your choice be?

I missed the Cherry Blossom Season both in BJ and Japan yet I managed to catch sight of a blooming cherry blossom!

Not on a tree but in my cup:p

Awfully Gorgeous

Life is a "Beach"

Life is a "Beach" - stealing this off Mr S's nick!

It carries with it dreary and grey moments

Life is a Gamble

I do not know whether I can afford the stakes I am playing?

I do not know whether I can bear the consequences I am taking?

Yet I am giving the Game of Life a chance!
