While running a hospital wide campaign today, a well-respected professor shared this with a team of us while doing his judging for one of the category prizes of the campaign...
He gave an anology between butterflies and happiness..."Happiness is like butterflies. It will arrive when it decides to settle on you"
I guess how one interprets this statement will depend on how you define happiness and what is your expectation of happiness.
So what's your thoughts?

"Whatever"
Met up with my two uni classmates today at Chinatown. Hee, you must be wondering what's available at Chinatown besides doing annual shopping during CNY.
Well... i had a pleasant surprise. We had dinner at an 'old-style' coffeeshop at Keong Saik Road. The kopi was really thick... and i mean it. I forgot the name of the coffeeshop, but i can bring you there if you like "gao" kopi without the need to shout "kopi gao". After dinner, we went to a nearby lifestyle cafe "Whatever" along the same road. Hey, it's a really nice place with nice ambience. It is a new age cafe, bookstore and healing centre.. You will just unwind the tense muscles after a busy workday when you step in there. I had 'organic root beer'. If you are wondering how is this place like and how does an organic root beer taste like... Check it out http://www.whatever.com.sg/!
While walking back home, the 3 of us were debating if meritocracy is still needed in this capitalistic society. What do you think? Would you choose to stay in a socialist or a captalistic society? Hee, i leave the answer to you.
Cheers!

Happy?
I have been asking myself if i am happy in my current job. Well... it has its pros and cons.
I know how to excel within the organisation. It depends on whether i want to pursue the corporate ladder. If i can do something meaningful by being at the top of the ladder, I will be happy to do so. However i think this is difficult especially in a large organisation. On the other hand, I don't really want to be one of those who spends half the time playing or guarding against politics. Absolute waste of time. To some extent, i think i am watching a football match within the organisation!
Perhaps i can really only do meaningful and real work by starting out my own business (aka selling ice kachang :p)
As one gets older, one also asks more questions isn't it?
