Blogging in the midst of my work

This is the song I first heard almost 15 yrs ago, while I was on my flight to Beijing in the early 90s. The journey was a terrible one due to bad weather, and I was suffering from air-sickness. This was one of the 10 song that was played over and over again on the plane throughout the 6hr journey tat I got v familiar with it overnight.

The song is about a gal's waning love for her bf. Instead of telling him directly, she told him to look at the moon, which she claimed has already been gradually and secretly changing. 'The path we have taken is far too long, till the extent that we no longer have much things to talk to each other'.

This song reminds me of the impermanance in life, that there is no such thing as 'Forever Love', 'Eternal Flame' or 'Love You Forever'. After taking it, you either learn how to let go graciously later or end up suffering.

The same applies to the people in my company. Too many backstabbers that the recent one hit me hard right on my back. Thanks for the early cautions given by some kind colleagues, tat I am already well prepared for all these nonsense and din really end up getting hurt. Probably in the past, I would be very upset upon hearing ppl badmouth or maligning me. But right now, I am pleasantly surprised by my own graciousness in dealing with such a situation.

I can only laugh all these backstabbings off with some of my closer colleagues. It doesn matter tat not everyone likes you, as long as you have close frens by ur side. Moral of the story : Just like we need good spiritual friends in our cultivational path, we need a group of close and supportive colleagues. They are someone we can turn to in times of trouble, and also give us the motivational and spiritual uplifts at work.

To Edward: LTA has approved the fitting of rear glass side windows on vans. This has made driving safer (checking of blind spots will be possible) and in my view, makes a van appear more like a car (good for those not-so-rich yet want-to-drive ppl like me). Morever, the speed limit has been increased to 70km/hr (closer to the speed limit of 80km/h for many roads). FYI, nowadays, speed light cameras are installed in many major roads in Singapore + all Expressways.
