Void

Every man has his own destiny: the only imperative is to follow it, to accept it, no matter where it leads him

Back to the work 1 week, book out 2 days system. I seem to integrate back into this system pretty well, no whining, no grumbling. Maybe is because i have been through a really horrendous and agonizing period, that this trivial stuff just seem so insignificant when compared to it.

Ok, just booked out, really tired and drained. My mum cooked dinner for me, and i still think home cooked food is the best! Healthy and yummy! Waiting for the clock to strike 1am before i start watching the movie, "pursuit of happiness".

Anyway, one good book to recommend. Title : The last lecture, by Randy Pausch. This is about an educator in university that realise that he had a few months more to live due to 10 tumours in his liver. He had a wife and 3 children, and small portion of the book talks about their relationship after the breaking of the depressing news. The main bulk of the book is sort of like a legacy or odyssey he left behind for his children, and it talks about his life from when he was young to being an educator. Maybe we share the same aspiration that is why i like this book a lot, but, after forcing myself to take a more objective view, it is still very good!

To end this post, i am wondering: Sometimes we talk about freedom, But what is freedom if we don't know what to do with it or maybe exercise it in the "right" way?
