Losing Mindfulness...

Recently, my mind is so screwed up that I made many mistakes, especially after the car accident.

Firstly, it was the installation CD that my colleague has requested from me. The night before, I have already placed the CD into my working bag and brought it to work the next day. However, when she asked me whether I brought the CD for her, i actually said NO. The fact is that I knew I brought it but I din know why I end up telling her I have forgotten to bring.... sigh.

And today, I was driving along PIE and wanted to exit at Toa Payoh. I cautiously followed the road sign and took the right route. However, similarly, I thought I have taken the wrong route and kicked a fuss over it, only to discover, hey, I was on the right way :s


My boss called me today when i was in SL meditating. He called to tell me about my salary increment of $150++. Frankly speaking, I wasnt too excited over this amount. Had a CNY gathering with some engin frens, only to realise many of my course mates (many as in close to 100 of them) were enjoying take-home pay of average 4-6K per month. Anyway, its still a good news that the management did not totally reject my manager's request to give me a pay rise, except that they lower the increment. And once again, its in SL that i received 'good' news from my company. Abt a yr ago, I was at SL meditating when the company called me up for the job interview.

The meditation sitting at Srilankaramaya Temple was really great, although i was abrupted by a phone call from my boss shortly later. I think SL is magical, and probably with the contribution from my BS companions who were meditating side by side with me, that my concentration was pretty strong today.

And lastly, thanks to my dear NTUBS friends for helping me out at the accident scene that evening. Special thanks to sumantri, kean yap, kin song, aik hong, khian nam, riki, woei kang, jipau and some others (were agus and kai rene there?) for being around. Thanks for helping me take photos and offer drinks to both me and the other party. Your actions & presence have definitely helped to ease down the tense atmosphere... paiseh for disrupting your BS day. Once again, thanks!
