Rants and raves
I really do want to rant on and on in this blog, but time - and flesh - prevent me from going into too much detail.

Life
Spent the better part of today (Saturday) visiting my kids' families. Hearing of their family problems, the difficulties they face, really make me much more thankful of the nice and sheltered life I've had all these while, and made me think - my problems are really so little and insignificant, really. All this in spite of the fact that they are only 11 or 12 years of age, all of them. But whoever said that small children never face large problems?

Meaning
All this really has made me think about where my life is heading. Gone, hopefully, are the days of pure senseless hedonistic pleasure. To live life now with any less purpose than I've already found would be, I think, letting myself down... to this end, I promise myself to think deeper and more thoughtfully about every action, every and any thing of import that I chance upon in life, and not to let an opportunity to improve myself and my lot in life pass me by. I don't want to be hanging around in a kopi tiam in Clementi, aged 50, shouting for Tiger Beer with faded dirtied shirt unbuttoned, one leg up proudly on the chair or table I'm at. Not to say that this kind of lifestyle is to be looked down on, but rather, to feel sorry for.

Responsibility
I don't claim, nor ever will claim, to be the most responsible of persons. I will make, and continue to make mistakes, to let people down, because I am human - oh so human. But I do think that whatever I say, whatever I do, I say and do in all truthfulness and effort. A lack of action or a misdemenour in action on my part I can honestly say are more likely to be due to coincidences, circumstance and quirks of nature more than anything else. I will do and continue saying so because I don't want to be the people who don't turn up for appointments and refuse or neglect to inform other parties of last-minute cancellations (even after reminders on the NEXT DAY that said person missed an appoinment. Nor people who say something or more likely, neglect to say something, leading to inconveniences and poor outcomes for other parties involved.

I rant enough... I may give a more detailed and logically rigis structure next time.. next time..
