Why...the Break?

Well, for those who've read my earlier blog would know that I've been pretty busy since committing myself to the diploma course. I've put afew...actually... alot of my office work and house chores on hold since :P. Thinking that I'll be able to 'regularise' my blog thereafter was wrong indeed. Loads of paperworks piling up (seriously needed immediate attention), dusk & cobwebs dangling here & there (oklah not so serious lah)... but still needs my 'magic touch'. That all took me 'bout 2 1/2 weeks man.

Wait, not all's over just yet...there's my daughther Cheryl's examination! (i know, i know u all might be thinking what's that hav to do with me? im not the one taking exam), you'll understand when you read on. Having a college going kid is very different compared to during her secondary school days, where everyday's schedule then is a routine, but not college's timetable (throwing in the extra club activities). By not obtaining her driving licence yet.. I'm her official 'chauffeur'. Luckily my working time is quite flexible, and also the main point is, it's near my office :D. Anyway, back to the exam part. I have to ferry her to & fro to her friends place for study and all (well, they so-called formed a 'study group' among themselves) for this first semester's exam.

Hah! finally, its over. What a relieve for both Cheryl & myself. Phew! (that is until the next semester......)

Lao Tzu ~Tao Te Ching

The Tao that can be defined
is not the real Tao,
The name that can be named
is not the real Name.
The unnamable Tao is the source of
Heaven and Earth,
Naming is the mother of all particular things.

Free from desire, you experience mystery,
Trapped in desire, you see only appearances.

Mystery and appearance have different names,
but they emerge from the same source.
This source is called darkness, deep darkness,
and yet it is the way to all wisdom.
