was late for an appointment by 2 solid hours today!!! gulp!

very hectic day today with loads of people in shop buying all sorts of things - puff paints, window paints, silk paints.. you name it and they want it! dropped by at the Singapore American School to deliver stuff and was suitably impressed with their art programme. Looks like the local schools have a lot of catching up to do! Maybe we should follow the American system and let our kids have more flexibility in choosing what they want to do.. too result oriented our system is.. sigh..

Read "The Power of Purpose" by Richard Leider. Pretty cool... I quote:"Purpose helps us understand what is relevant to life, what it is we live for, who we are, and what we are about in actual day-to-day living. Our world makes sense to us. Living a meaningful life means living in the deep questions of life. We are steadied and whole in our living, and the various situations of day-to-day living are more easily handled. Such a unifying sense of direction can withstand much stress and is actually strengthened by overcoming difficulties.".. phew!

enjoying my work now and feeling like I'm doing something worthwhile everyday.. should be following my calling, I suppose..
