Wayfarers ....

I am now listening to the buddhist hymms by wayfarers. Whenever i feel gloomy and down, i wud listen to their songs, and somehow i wud feel even more gloomy, but the peace will come along.

I first heard the hymm "The Blessed Refuge" on the CNS2002 website. The chairperson of the camp is my old time fren, James. I know James cos we always took the same bus to sch early in the morning during our sec sch days, but we seldom spoke. We went to the same JC and ended up joining the same ECA. We din keep in contact during army, but met each other only when i came to NTUBS activities. Its such a coincidence that both of us have landed in the same ECA again, except for the fact tat he was in NTUBS while me in NUSBS.

O Suffering World is also one of my fave piece from the wayfarers. Yeah, the world is really full of sufferings. I remembered i once cried over my family matters during my jc days, and i was glad to have my gf then by my side. Now, i am feeling the similar exasperation + job stress, and i have no more gf to turn to to 'cry' my heart out. But tats not the 'function' of a gf, and i shldn possess someone jus becos i need her. When love becomes a 'need' in our life, we are just courting trouble.

Back to my job, its really tough and stressful. But i have been constantly told by my colleagues that the experiences gained will be rewarding. I dun hate my job, i dun have the sian feeling over it, i jus hope i could have been more knowledgeable, experienced, wise and 'zai' to perform my job well. Indeed, academic results have nothing much to do with project/issues management and ppl handling skills. I may have gotten a decent honours class, but i stand no where when it comes to surviving well in the society.
