Weekends' here

Weekends are here again and I am too tired to finish what I hope to do today.
Too lazy to even cook a decent meal.

Had been a busy week but fruitful week.

Does it always have to be busy = fruitful?
No, I can cite many occasions when busy but not equal fruitful.

Or must we have busyness in order to have good business?
Mmm, something to think about.

In any case, life is like that in a high-level view, I guess, we need to fill it up with meaningful relationships, and meaningful memories.

At the detailed level, we have quality time spent every hour or minute to fill it up with meaningful and memorable events.

I can imagine draw a chart with these thoughts (like an org chart with top level and low level). :P

Job vs Career

Was wondering if I am going though mid-life crisis.

Have been questioning myself lately about my career path or lack of it.

Pros :
- no career path => can go home early
- can go home early => can spend more time with SL
- not much deadlines => less stress
- less stress => can try for a baby (haha)
- can try for a baby => family life finally!


Cons :
- not much monetary gains
- not much meaningful time spent during work
- stagnant in career
- not much growth mentally

SL reasoned out that one surely got to give and take. Something's sure got to give in the balance of work and family. Now that I get to enjoy family time more, I should not complain about the lack of a career.

He is right. We are finally able to enjoy early nights together and spend more time with each other.

What the heck, I am making it up to him for the past few years of his waiting up for me for supper...

TP = Traffic police

There had been news about traffic policemen monitoring the traffic conditions at the top of overhead bridges with a camera to catch speedsters.

I had two encounters with them.

Once was during the evening peak hours along PIE towards Jurong.

Near the Paya Lebar / Eunos road, a taxi suddenly slowed down and the driver shouted "camera" pointing upwards.

I looked upwards and glimpsed a shadow on top of the overhead bridge but did not really bother much about it.

Yesterday morning during the 8am period, road condition was not too smooth with heavy traffic. As all cars were moving slowly at 60 km/hr, I managed to have a clear view of the tp at the overhead bridge (after the ERP gantry along PIE to Changi Airport,the overhead bridge before Toa Payoh), holding a huge camera shooting down at me.

My conscience was clear. How to speed during such a traffic condition?
It would be good if cars can move at 60km/hr much less speed.

Wonder why tp can afford one manpower to monitor this especially during peak hours. Imagine the tp holding the camera for 1 hour? Also, they only stand at where the overhead bridge is covered, for obvious reasons.
