Been such a long time since I blogged. Which probably is a good thing cos it means I'm busy living the life :) work has been keeping me interested and on my toes. Learning never stops. And i'm actually useful :)
Climbing too has been slowly getting better despite old age and injuries. The psyched is back a little now that I've another trip to aim for. Short as it might be.
Caught ave q over the weekend. Plot was surprisingly simple and so were the themes. I guess the only thing that really struck me was how easily I related to it. Finding purpose, commitment etc. maybe it struck too close to home to feel really good. unlike the usual escapes that most of the other musicals I've caught are. In a way I'm glad I caught it now instead of before. After knowing the struggles involved in finding purpose, my inability to commit to the right priorities. And how in the end it all may not matter that you can just as easily end up a nobody as opposed to a somebody and still have no one really giving much of a damn. so now that that's said and done, where do I see myself? Can I ever find purpose as more than a cog in society? Or is my purpose just to be a functional cog, contributing as a cog and not trying to fit into a place to big for my teeth to fit? Oh wells... Guess life will be a constant search for answers....
On the other hand, the other themes were ok I guess? I did think it funny how racism was mention considering the multiracial society that we've been brought up with. It was rather cute how they actually verbalised that everyone was racist. Doubt anyone can deny that without being a hypocrite anyhow. And honestly, with all this talk to embrace our roots and celebrating diversity, it is inevitable that people do start associating certain traits to various races. So in the end, as long as there's no hostility involved, what's wrong with a bit of racism? life would be so boring of everyone was the same or treated the same. Respecting each others differences would instead make life more eventful and a little less boring...
Ok. I'm tired. Time to turn in. Life's been treating me well as I learn to grow up. Yes, i do admit that it is a little delayed yes but I'm getting there. I'm slowly leaving behind my fantasy castle and exposing myself to the reality and demands of real life. :)
