No, i've not become a saint or a saintly person. Dont even let that thought cross your mind. Its just that once a while the mind wanders. In moments of utter boredom when theres nothing else to do, the mind guides the physical self to places that one should go more regularly for one's well-being, but more often than not it doesnt.

Was bored last night. And happened to drop by an old favourite resource centre. Theres much to learn, yet the mind refuses to be disciplined.

Worked till late last night. The kids were still up around 11pm! Was pleasantly surprised. Played with them a bit before making sure they slept early. It rained in the morning. That meant more time with them. Only left home around 11am for the office.

Its been a quiet morning at the office. Cleared some reports, signed some documents. And it was lunch time! Time flies when one comes to work late! Been talking a few people from different backgrounds. Its like a worrying trend. Everyone repeating the same mantra. The economy is slowing. The market is very slow. The post chinese new year pickup in the market did not materialise. The softening in the share market has just compounded the problem. Over supply in the developer launches hasnt been helpful. The coming housing fair will probably confirm what the market perceives and feels. Its going to be slow for many months. Its the Federal Government who appears to be pushing for change and development in JB now. Sad sad situation. One of the richest states being so mismanaged to the point theyve lost control. Appearing to be a beggar. The privatisation mantra of the pre-crash period has clearly failed to benefit the state and its people. Those who benefited are clearly the recipients of such projects and the decision makers. Could write pages on the craps that has been happening over the years in JB particularly. Will have to wait for another day.

Just received a phone call. An aunt is unwell. Hospitalised with pneumonia! Sigh. Pray for her to get well soon. Need to visit her shortly.
