Overheard . . .
一位在组屋楼下买水果的uncle说 “下雨天很好抱”
同事甲对于同事乙发出的问题 － “他没丢球出来，我怎么抓？” (the classic "catch no ball")
在地铁上，女儿对妈妈说 － “是蛮tight的。” （小小年纪就学到Singlish的精髓 - 中英文合并。）
Observation. . .
Ultraman的毛巾。
我用。

妈怎么会选上咸蛋超人？！

Was browsing through the few blogs that I have on my Favourites and saw a new posting from a Uni mate on Success.
To quote:
Not many people succeed, the ones who do,
are not like everyone else.
The ones who succeed are different from everyone else,
they subscribe to a different lifestyle,
they work extra hard.
Being successful is just a place not many people get to -
it filters the hard worker from the insanely hard working ones.
Like so many other people, for many different reasons,
he's gonna be my role model for now.
Who's the HE? Dont need to know.
Coz my point of contention is not who he is.
It's more of the definition of success.
The ones who succeed are different from everyone else,
they subscribe to a different lifestyle,
they work extra hard.
Being successful is just a place not many people get to -
it filters the hard worker from the insanely hard working ones.
They work extra hard; insanely hard working
Is this what success encapsulates?
Perhaps I'm taking it the wrong way, the main point is the end result; or rather, working extra hard to achieve what one wants to achieve - that's success.
But I can't help but be drawn to the two statements in particular.
Is working insanely hard considered success?
To be driven to work hard, insanely hard, to achieve what one wants to achieve...
But in the process, will you be blinded? By the sheer hard work you are putting in, the energy you are throwing in. Will you enjoy the result?
I've often told myself to stop and smell the roses.
Slow down. No rush.
Admire nature, the beauty that surrounds us each and every moment, but which goes undetected by most people. The clouds, the stars... A wandering feline on the stairs..
The rainbow I saw the other day for instance.
It's a delightful moment.
Everyday, I'm reminding myself that there is no need to slog.
Work to live, not live to work. 
Enjoy the company of my loved ones, smell the roses, yes, go ahead.
Feel the no-rush pace of life.
To be driven to work hard, insanely hard, to achieve what one wants to achieve...
Do I want to do that?
Not really.
Not right now.
One may argue - if not now, then when?
I don't know.. When the time is right - when that comes, if that comes.
Perhaps.
Perhaps I'm getting it all wrong.
It's not about working hard per se.
It's not work.
It should not be about work.
It's about what I want to achieve in life?
It's about working insanely hard to ... smell the roses?
Ain't life one huge contradiction?
