I am lazy. Yes. It is a truth such that it becomes a fact.

I am lazy about most things, including updating this blog and the other one.

Thus, I am here to update this blog i.e. to update on my life.

Ever since the last assignment was handed up; the NIE one, I have been waking up every morning at almost 10, sometimes at 15mins past 1o. What is most alarming, to me, is the time that I turn in at night. Sometimes 10, 11 and 12. So, let us assume that if I sleep at 10p.m. and wake up at 10a.m., I would have slept for 12 hours straight. Half a day is gone...

After a cup of milk-loaded coffee, some biscuits and newspapers, it is almost lunchtime! Help Mutter with the preparation and some cooking, then lunch. After lunch, laze around, do some sewing (made a little green pouch/bag yesterday out of left-over material from Mutter's "tailoring" days. Currently making a cloth belt/sash), no naps. Before you know it, it is back to the kitchen for me to help Mutter.

Sounds boring, doesn't it? It sure is. What is worse is that I am yawning away while typing about my incredibly boring lifestyle. It is only 4p.m., 6 hours since I had awaken, and I am yawning away!!!

I am such a failure.

Oh yah... We, the Gangsters, will be celebrating Neko's birthday tomorrow. I believe I had mentioned this only in the previous post. It will be interesting. At the most, awkward for some whom I hope have already solve their unsolved issues.

This reminds me of mien mutter's Russian chilli plant out in the garden. It is quite dead yet the roots and stem are still alive. It is only the branches that are dried up. What I did was to cut away all the dried parts so that the plant can grow leaves from the green parts. It is a simple explanation of how settling issues can be like. However, yes, it is not that simple at all especially where Humans are concerned. Which brings us to this question; why is life so complex? Or is it only complex because of us, mankind; are we the ones who view the situations and tasks in such a complex and complicating manner, thus our solutions becoming equally complexed and complicated?

I have been telling a piano student of mine this when she viewed a piece as difficult, "If you think that the piece is difficult, it will get more difficult. If you think of it as an easy piece, it may get easier or not. The best is to think neither way; let your mind be empty like a blank piece of paper." What is the point of thinking the piece is easy just by first glance? It may be at first easy that eventually gets harder, and you will find yourself in deep water; struggling. Your expectations will be brought down to earth, falling, and then shattered like broken glass.

In the world of football, there is a very famous saying, "The ball is round." Anything can happen so why bother making it more complicated than it already is? In fact, keep things simple. Easier said than done? That is only if you choose to think of it in such a light.

Whether or not you agree with my thinking, I just want to say that this is entirely my thinking.
