Greying...

Missfatty and Mummy dearest were standing outside the house plucking out my white hair. It has always been a FUN chore to pluck white hair. My sis and I used to do that for my mum which we later would extort her for some money. One strand for 5 cents? Bet my sis used to charge 20 cents each. Anyhow, it was so disheartening when my sis found two strands right on the 'top'. This took place after a wedding lunch. Wondered how many people seen those white strands so contrasting to my black. Sobs. I always like looking at people's hair, especially those silky long ones. Mine ain't that silky but I still think not too bad. Imagine being spotted two white hair... Turn off.

Total findings: nearly 10 strands on two spots. TWO SPOTS!! What great signs to show I'm getting older much faster than my peers.

Happy birthday BF!

Life, Me

Greed is my Achilles' heel. When one is greedy, he wants all of everything, and yet without any intention of effort or sacrifice. I'm the fallen victim.

I want to be socially and spiritually wealthy - good career, good family, good friends, good in serving others. But all this while, I thought I've done enough to deserve them. The truth really dawns in. I've done nothing at all. I haven't even geared in and I'm already sitting there offhandedly waiting for the car to move.

"Everyone has different personality in managing their roles and work, but there are still fundamentals to be managed the same way. Look at yourself how much have you done to make sure you are responsible for all your actions."

I've learnt something about myself today. I'll take note and improve. Thanks for the lesson tonight.
