Sigh ...

I was asked to chauffeur a woman and her son to Genting Highlands. This is no ordinary trip for this is her last wish before she passes on. It does not cost a bomb to do this and yet, we have to wait because sponsorship is not approved. Now, we've got the sponsorship, but we cannot go anymore because her condition has turned bad. Sigh ...

Uncertainty

Why is there fear of uncertainty? Is it because there is desire for certainty? I have been chasing after this and that all these years ... and when I say I want to be at peace with myself and all around me like where I am now, I'm still chasing, isn't it? When I draw a house together with mountains and a river on an A4, the location of the house is up on the mountains overlooking the river, which to me represents peace and serenity. Well, I am a city person and I can't live in the mountains. The point is this: When I was drawing, I did not picture myself already in the house, overlooking the river but as something to look forward to. Although I am in peace now, there is still much more to do, to achieve, with family, work, everything else. There you go ... I'm chasing. After what? Isn't it true that uncertainty is the only certainty?
