There are just too many things I do not understand.
Earlier, I was talking to my MD with regards to some work issues and he was ranting about how he's finger-pointed at when things go wrong. While I was quick to suggest that the root of problems are clear, he looked at me and went, "Frances, things do not always work on facts...."
And so, he went on and on about the ironies of the world while we stood, watching him dump his Fortune magazines. I was so tempted to ask if I can clear them off for him instead.. geez.... what waste... they could make some good toilet entertainment... =p
Oh, where were we?
Yes. What perplexing world we live in.
More often than not, I have unwittingly become a bystander, making observations and trying to make sense of what this complex world entails. I guess I must have been a little dim...
"things do not always work on facts..."
Sounds so logical, yet incomprehensible, I can't seem to grasp the formula idea behind it.
I mean.... They don't? Yah... they don't always work on my supposed logic sometimes.... but what are facts & logic then if they are not how things work by.... aiyah.... so confusing... gosh! if things don't work by them, then that defeats their definitions. Hence, they should not be what they are.... Huh?
See.. now I don't even know what I am talking about.
Oh boy... I am confused!

The mental atelier of a trapped little duckling with ruffled fluff, in a vain pursuit to fit gracefully into the framed schema of the norm and all... trying to keep the poise, whilst paddling ferociously under the calm waters... hoping one day to turn into the collected and assured swan....

Taking time to be thankful in yet another Yuletide...
Kinda hard to believe another year is drawing to a close.
Been really busied with series of activities & happenings the past weeks (which well explains the entry absence since..... more than a month back?) There seems to have been more of everything: some pleasant, while others..... ermmm... more challenging... and of course, there are the perplexing ones... (persistent trait of mine? or still not very savvy with time?)
It's X'mas eve, and really not a great time to be churning reports... Have hence decided to take a little time to say a thankful prayer for the goodness treading on 2006 had presented...
One, nicer Colleagues.
Not that the colleagues I'd met prior weren't nice... But I guess the batch who gathered over the last year had become more fun.... We had a little gathering with the colleagues out-of-the-office yesterday. While we played mass games & held small talks, it was heart-warming to know that there are colleagues who are willing to fellowship beyond professional relations to build friendships. Heaping work professionalism on friendships has its danger, but I suppose nurturing friendships out of work relations has a beauty of its own...
That brings point two: The friendships established with people who are willing to give me a boost when goings get tough over the year. Sure, things aren't always a bed of roses. And for one inept kid like me, things get even tougher than tough.
Thanks to people like EKH*, the more savvy guru who is always spot on with his observations & willing to share his thoughts and advices... And people like F, who would sing praises that helped ascertain my esteem... the power of good words really should not be undermined...
Of course, for the blessing of good girlfriends who would watch shows with me, hear me rant, talk to me, drop messages, & share their experiences with me. The affinity that was sealed had, I suppose, bonded even further with age.
With the advent of 2007, I cannot help but wonder what more is to come... I'd surely hope there are less perplexing happenings!
