Privileged Few

I slept a lot over the weekend and you would imagine my surprise when many mentioned that I look I'd fall asleep anytime. I napped 3+ hours yesterday and while I woke up at 6am this morning, I returned to bed when Francis confirmed that the weather wouldn't allow us to play tennis. I woke up again only at 10.

But somehow I didn't feel rested.

夢の中にもなぜかジョアンが現れてきた。もう今のジョアンは昔のと違うことが分かっていても、すでに諦めたと言っても、今まで一番好きなのは、あいかわらずジョアンのこと。そこまで好きのだったら、連絡してみるはず。でも、嫌われてるから、連絡はきついだろう。周りにいい人は現れてこないかしら。ふぅ～

Well, I admit I was a bit flustered on Friday. But I got much better now. Think I asked for what had happened.

I don't want to be too spiritual but a few months back, I was looking for a challenge since I felt I was so Zen about so many things. I can give up the little money that I have, I started feeling comfortable at work, I have adjusted well back in Singapore, that it was so mundane and boring. I guess the hit on my pride and reputation was a good jolt for me, that I can take stock again and improve myself.

Dinner was a treat for my parents. Think it was overpriced for a mediocre buffet dinner but there was no way to complain since Dad took the trouble to make the booking yesterday (not to mention that it was his birthday). Had some time for family bonding and talked a little about Church and Life.

Talked to my yandao brother on our way back in the train and analysed at length the people in YC and how privileged most are. Unfortunately, it is the privileges that prevent people from thinking too deeply about a life without the safety net. 

We agreed that though Dad and Mum had given us the most according to their ability and maturity, there is little that we can enjoy compared to those privileged ones.
