如来神掌

This evening, I went out with my engin friends (plus their gf/bf)at Bugis. During the chats, I heard them mention about "如来神掌". It is a term which I havent heard for many years, and I recalled tat I used to love playing around with my kid frens and pretending we have the "如来神掌" kungfu

It nv occur to me that something is wrong with this term until this evening. How can 如来 be associated with 神? In fact, its also wrong to use 如来 together with 佛 (as in 如来佛). It may be just names but I think as a buddhist, I shld be using the terms correctly.

And yes, I have to thanks Jane for her 'offer' to send Bryan home.... Thanks leh Jane. Haha, but really thanks to her for inviting me to join the birthday dinner. These ppl are my project mates but I havent been mixing with them much ever since we completed our HRM module. Sometimes, I feel a bit guilty and wudnt be surprised if someone were to label me as a 见风使舵 or 过桥抽板 kind of person. But of cos thats not true to me....

I am reporting back to work, and although its jus another day to weekend, I could feel the immense sianness in me having to go back to work. There is actually nothing with my job, pay is quite good, job scope not very tough and stressful, ppl are nice, but I just dread working life. Perhaps i have enjoyed freedom in my life too much in the past that I am unable to accept working life.

Was telling bryan on our way back that it has never occured to me that my family wud one day need my financial support, like now. Just barely months before I graduated from NUS, I thought it is not a problem for me to take a yr's leave to go overseas and experience life and such. I nv thought my I wud need to work and earn money to support my family tat urgently. I nv thought my family 'would ever need me'.... as a results, a lot of dreams were crushed or have to be put on hold..

But no, i am not complaining about my life. I still feel that I am enjoying my good karma of getting almost everything I need. Perhaps in time to come, I would gradually feel that more things are missing in my life.
