Another day at the office. Can't complain, only 4 working days this week. Can't imagine it's already May. Still haven't got into the swing of things yet, my resolutions are still unwrapped somewhere under a mountain of inertia. Got to push myself to start soon (on my resolutions) or else it'll be another year slipped away.
Just think, each day we rush off to work, first struggling to get our ass off the comfy mattress, then steering our way through the rush hour traffic, if time permits maybe a quick cup of coffee and a sandwich to oil the stomach engine, and finally we plunge into our work until it's time to call it a day. No time to smell the roses (heck ! you can't find roses planted on the roadsides in S'pore anyway), no time to even marvel at the sunrise. It seems that each day we are just running the motions, looking for the end of the day, chasing sunsets ... I must admit, sunsets are a great sight (having taken photos of many a sunset), but the day really starts at sunrise, we should be giving the sun-streaked skies of morning and the great yellow sun of dawn it's just due by starting off the day with the right enthusiasm and spirit, living with gusto.
Midnight approaches, the bed beckons. Before I go, here's something from the book I'm reading at the moment ...
" That's something else that gives me royal pain. I mean if you're good at writing compositions and somebody starts talking about commas. Stradlater was always doing that. He wanted you to think that the only reason he was lousy at writing compositions was because he stuck all the commas in the wrong place ..."

Goodnight world. A new day is around the bend. Enjoy your sunrise.
