Not another Monday!

Sigh!...it's officially Monday.

I still remember years back when I started work, that I cannot wait for Monday so that I can do my work. Of course back then, I was all fired up to serve the public. To give all my best to the people. But later, slowly the realities of life starts to get to me. Or rather the realities of government entropy finally eating my passion from inside. I used to believe to stand up for what is right, even though I have to speak up to my superiors. But now, the stability of government career plus all other worldly responsibilities doused that fire within my heart.

But I can see that the government is slowly changing. Will it be for the better? Only time would tell. But in the mean time, I suppose I have to remind myself now and then that the smallest of effort to serve the people better is better than no effort at all.

Well maybe this is what they call the Monday blues. I hope in the morning I can light up a bit of my smoldering passion back to life for another week.

The coming weather

They say when you have no idea what to talk about, you can talk about the weather. It's quite safe and will not incite great passion in most people, not unless you're talking with those in the meteorological department or the weatherman. But now days, weather seems to be in the news headline in most local and even international paper.

Recently the unpredictable weather, cause concerns over the supply of water in the country. Before that, the severe flood in the southern part of the country dominated the news. In the international front, the paper presented by scientist in France under the purview of UN on climate change highlighted the cause of global warming. And the revelation that mankind are at fault for the rising global temperature doesn't seem to shock a lot of people.

The point is really about the change of perception on weather by the masses. More and more, we see the catastrophic effect of extreme weather, be it financial losses or worst still, lives. People is beginning to realized that weather is not just another side topic to be brought up when there are nothing else to talk about. The ups and downs of the weather patterns effect us all, whether they be politicians, businessmen, gardener, rich or poor.

It's time for all of us to sit up and pay a bit more attention when somebody is talking about the weather.

Going at it again

Well, I am at it again. My first blog was nearly 2 years back, but due to unavoidable "technical fault", read here as lazy, I am unable to update the blog as frequent as possible. Hopefully this second time will exist longer if not permanent.

A lot have change since then. I've been transfered to another department, I've moved houses, I've changed car, heck, I have even got married. I'm now older in terms of biological age and also I perceived myself to be more mature if not wiser than before.

I find myself at a stage where, I look back through the lens of time to my youth and camaraderie with my schoolmates, and miss all the carefree days where all you have to think about was how to skip class. Not that I skip class and also not to accuse that all students thinks of skipping classes, just giving a romantic simile. Alas, such carefree time shall be no more and unfortunately be relegated to the back of the memory, whatever small amount of it that I still have.

But I realized that, now I am more at peace with myself, having found my life companion next to me. My sweet, beautiful wife, she is the star that guides me in the dark of night, the hand that grasp me when I am weak, the voice that sing melodies in my ear when I am lonely, this and more she is to me.

On that note, I hope to write more post in the future.
