Been into green lately.

The Paradox Of Our Time

The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers;

wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints.

We spend more, but have less;

we buy more, but enjoy less.

We have bigger houses and smaller families;

more conveniences, but less time.

We have more degrees but less sense;

more knowledge, but less judgment;

more experts, yet more problems;

more medicine, but less wellness.

We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.

We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values.

We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.

We've learned how to make a living, but not a life.

We've added years to life not life to years.

We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor.

We conquered outer space but not inner space.

We've done larger things, but not better things.

We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul.

We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice.

We write more, but learn less.

We plan more, but accomplish less.

We've learned to rush, but not to wait.

We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we we have less communication.

We've become long on quantity, but short on quality.

These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion;

big men and small character;

steep profits and shallow relationships.

These are the times of world peace, but domestic warfare; more leisure, but less fun; more kinds of food, but less nutrition.

These are the days of two incomes but more divorce;

fancier houses but broken homes.

These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill.

It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom and little in our heart's room.

A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just hit delete.

I'm back from my trip. Glad to be home safe and sound after hearing the boat incident :( On the side note, finally got time to sit down and work on a simple calendar to welcome the new year! It's a chop chop job so I'm satisfied with the outcome. All photos taken by me over the years. Some for paper promo proj back at RMIT, some holiday photos in MELB and CAMERON.

人生是要为自己而活

YEAH! MY BLOG IS STILL ALIVE!

Enjoyed the xmas gathering yesterday :) had a great time shopping with bestful :P I'm looking forward to the short getaway at some ulu island. 5 more days! Really tired from work not physically but mentally for the past months. My shoulders are aching, eyes are tired from the computer staring all day long. Time to lend salonpas from mummy :P

So much thoughts. I guess because we're at this young age whereby we should be brave enough to take up challenges, to do what you like, to fight for your passion, to not stay in a comfort zone, to learn all you can from your superior and the most important is to make full use of the chance of being young once in a lifetime. I'm wonder where will I be a year from now. Hmm time to sit down and set some goals for year 2011.
