Happy Halloween~

Last day of October, short week ahead and long weekend. Sounds good, yeah. 

Except that the phlegm is still existent;

And I am [for the moment] the sole breadwinner in the house OMG? *sigh* the mental stress is building up even though I know the parent(s) will get a job eventually. But for the moment..

And that I really ought to be preparing for the presentation tomorrow. How to talk for 45 min straight, is quite a question mark to me. 

And I've learnt not to gym whilst nursing a cough. Zzz...

The inhumanity of it all

-Later, when interviewed by a journalist, one of the passersby, a middle-aged man riding a scooter, said with an uncomfortable smile on his face: "That wasn't my child. Why should I bother?"-

I had thought that the 18 people will be guilt-ridden for the rest of their lives for failing to save the kid, who might have survived if any of them had pulled her aside to prevent the second driver from ramming into her. But no, looks like at least one of them are not going to be guilty of anything after all.

This callousness and the inhumanity of it all made me sick and more than slightly depressed. I'm not sure if it's because it's a kid who died that got me so worked up since I have this inexplicable tenderness for kids, or the fact that I've realised that there are people without consciences, who can watch a kid bleed and dying on the road and not lift a finger to help, and head home to their dinners guilt-free knowing that whoever has died is none of their businesses. 

What if the kid had been yours and the other people refused to help?

Nua-ing the Sundays away

Yes, I have work to do, "readings" to prepare for the newsletter but instead of doing them all, I slacked away the most part of my Sunday with watching mio Home movies, having the girl over and rewatching some old show. AND.. After doing all these I'm tired -_- 

I understood over the weekend that I somewhat resemble a puffer fish. Scratch that, I have known for very long that I am like a puffer fish. It is just that the puffer fish characteristic has not been so acutely shown for a long time.

Ok, I will still attempt to read all the information and digest them and hopefully come up with some kind of a draft by tonight.. Zzz.. 

OMG where did all that time go?

It's already mid Oct?! Can't believe it. Well, hectic hectic hectic.. And some wonderful things happened in Oct, including the opening of the Circle Line which wasn't quite a circle indeed! But it's ok, as long as I get my passageway!

Second half of Oct is likely to remain the same, but after the second half it means Nov is coming and omg what have I done in the past year?

Time to review the year and decide what I really want in life.
