Don't push it ...

Got a bit of spare time today for an entry, despite this black hole in my head.

Religion is not my favourite topic, neither is faith, because I might offend some people without even meaning to. And you know how fast and furious we can get defending it. Sometimes so irrational, and stubbornly so, sometimes not willing to bend or listen to what other people are saying, and sometimes persistently insisting yours is right, mine is wrong, and vice versa. Bla bla bla.

And I quote: People who want to share their religious views with you almost never want you to share yours with them.

We don't ram our opinions down each other's throats, do we? Anything more and we'll end up strangling each other.

Take coffee, for instance. I drink coffee. I like them, in fact I must have a cup every day. If you don't like them, keep silent. I do not make you drink them, did I? But do not condemn me for drinking them. Or others who do. Should I offer coffee to you and should you decline, I respect you. I would expect the same from you. Don't start preaching to me about coffee. You are not my doctor. And do not attempt to steer my mind towards your opinions. I thank you that you bothered. But do not be wise in your own eyes, for you might end up looking like a fool. You and me alike. Why can't we just sip our drinks - me with my coffee, you with yours - side by side without feeling the need to be hostile? 

CUBA UDAH GIK.

p/s: By impounding the Bible, and insisting the adherence of policy makers, the federal government is sending a message. Learn to read the gestures.

Whinier than thou...

Ok here goes...

I have actually written many entries prior to this, and ended up saving them as drafts. The thing is, I have so many things I wanted to say, but when I click 'New Post' and the blank page opens up before me, I became it - blank. Writer's block, do you think? That's what happens when you consume too much coffee and exercise less... the caffeine goes into your bloodstream rendering you perpetually awake, full of spit, and occasionally ramble meaninglessly. 

I admire all you other bloggers who are capable of blogging about every single thing under the sun, everyday or every other day. I struggle to even make myself worth a read. That coupled with a lot of work-related stuff ... I simply can't focus. Sigh.

What an exhausting week!

I physically moved out of my cubicle of 1 year and 5 months... onto another workstation. Practically isolated, literally an island, and feeling neglected. I'm in a room all by myself. And it's not an elated position ... it's segregation. Yes that's it. So I can be near the store. Eh? People make ridiculous demands sometimes. And as a person dictated by the law of my own hands in that piece of Surat Aku Janji that I signed along with the rest, I have to comply. (In English would be what... "I Pledge"? Doesn't sound right).

*shouts* For King and Country!

However, that is beside the point. Not supposed to blog about work. *zipped*

Not supposed to complain either. *zipped*

Just supposed to follow, like lamb to the slaughter.

*shouts* For King and Country! 

Aha! There you see? At least I managed to blog entirely about nothing! Ha ha!
