Chairman's speech at the awards ceremony on values largely resonates with what he said 2 years ago, to be open-minded yet clear in values. and the need to nurture knowledge creators and not merely processors, in order to stay ahead of the game. i felt that it was relevant and sound advice coming from someone who has years of experience behind him.

been feeling a GREAT inertia to blog lately. posts are becoming increasingly inane, no gush of emotions or thoughts to post abt.

4 Aug 2008. Sch, or uni to be more precise, has officially started for most. as reluctant as i may feel, it's time to move on, again. life's just about moving on isnt it: graduation, ORD, bereavement, anger/pain/sadness, just move on. it's abit weird to see MSn kinda empty in the middle of the day when just a week ago it was still pretty full. transitions are never easy, guess not even if you have witnessed those for a millenium or two.

sent vincent off yesterday. truth is, will be joining him in a few weeks so cant really feel much but i guess i wont know how he felt till 3 wks from now. ok less. so many people i want to see, so many things i want to do but somehow i cant seem to get started. as if by not doing anything, i can pretend that nothing's going to happen. and then freak out as i find that im missing deadlines here and there. lol. mr tan said it's like watching his children go away. ties that bind indeed, 8 years is really a long long time. and we are still in touch, im grateful for that and many things.

im not leaving, im just absenting myself for a while. a very long while.
