I have can play
Turkey in the Straw on the piano fairly well now, give or take some mistakes once in awhile. Started working on
River Flows in You. My fingers keep tripping over each other. Definitely need much more practice.
I cooked myself pasta today. My auntie told me that I need to put a little oil in the water, so that the pasta will not stick. Add a little salt for taste. I also helped her with the ox-tail dish for dinner.
My mum says I exercise too much. All because she sees me go out to the park several times a day. By several I mean about 3 times a day. Once in the morning, another in the afternoon and again at night. And it is not as if I spend hours there. I only stay there for a maximum of half an hour, and usually only twenty minutes. After a few pull ups, dips and stretching, I head back home. I do not even go jogging. Perhaps she is afraid that I might end up looking like the Hulk.
My callouses hurt. Time to use the pumice stone to rub them down tomorrow.
Reading The Witch of Portobello has got me thinking about divinity and spirituality again. Now I am reading The Story of Edgar Sawtelle. Seems pretty interesting so far.
I came across this line recently, but I cannot recall where.
Slaves have been replaced with wage-slaves.
In this world today, how many people are living fulfilling lives, every moment of their day? Look at the countless many who hate their job, yet day-in and day-out, they continue to slog away at a task they abhor. There are two ways about it. One is to learn to love your job. The other is to change your job to something you love. How much of your life are you willing to sacrifice in the pursuit for money?
There are always difficult and unfortunate things that need to be done. But then there are also the pointless, meaningless and fruitless things you do that make you look back and wonder where all the quality in your life has gone. Be careful of being trapped in a job you do not want, because of money you do not need.
