It's a cool picture, and it also has the added bonus of being a reference - or homage - to a famous photographer's classic image:
Now, the reason why I'm citing the work of one of photography's greats is not because I've gone and bought myself a DSLR. I've just been thinking about the simply-titled image: The Decisive Moment.I'm not really in that moment right now, but my workload certainly is. I'm certainly not drowning in work, but it does have a habit of hitting you like a muddy puddle when you least expect it.
So I'll live in the moment and clean my shoes when the shit hits the fan.

In non-cryptic news, I went to watch Fanboys the other night with the guys. Let's just say it was a really, really bad idea to watch it at 11:45pm. I won't even go into how bad the movie sucked, haha. Nonetheless, it was nice to do so (and in Daniel's case, catch some shut-eye) with the same bunch I saw so many movies with during primary (it's true!) and secondary school.

Met up with the CS folks last Friday at Water & Wine, a place which sells...well... water and wine, and is run by one of us. Tucked in the bowels of the Biopolis, the place was really quiet and a great place to catch up with friends over a bottle of wine.
Prices for wines start at about $40++ per bottle, and finger food's priced same as comparable wine-chill-out places like Denise and Bottles&Bottles.
It struck me that a good percentage of my friends are unhappy at work. Some are desperately upset with expectations that have not been met. Others are losing steam doing what they thought they wanted. And still others are hanging on because of the bad job market now.
In a way, I admire their resolve in not settling for second-best. Why should you? After all, you spend more than half your waking hours at work. Yet, there is always that nagging fear, isn't there, that there will never be that perfect job, with the perfect pay and the perfect job satisfaction.
It really is kinda like finding a life partner, heh. Cheesy as it sounds, you have to admit that the parallels are striking. Do you believe in THE ONE?
How will you know when you've found the perfect guy/girl/job? What guarantee will you have that the perfect guy/girl/job won't ever change, or that you won't lose your feelings for each other?
You won't.
But then that's what makes it imperative to have faith/trust in yourself, the people around you (i.e. humanity) and a God above. So have faith, people.
